Abstract

© 2022 IEEE.A socioscope is the computational device that help us to examine the digital social universe. We will make a glimpse to the digital social universe in times of war with a special socioscope that we call sumsocial. For this study, we determined 3 keywords: {Putin, Ukraine, Refugee}. We collected half a million tweets with each keyword. We applied Turkish Natural Language Processing methods based on transformers. As a result we examined how the social perception of these keywords change with time. We determine which events trigger the number of the tweets related to those keywords to go up and down. We invite you to make a glimpse to the digital social universe from our own socioscope that we have created.
