Sentiment Analysis and Classification of Photos for 2-Generation Conversation in China

Abstract

Appropriate photos can help the Chinese empty-nest elderly and young volunteers find common topics to promote communication. However, there are little researches on such photo in China. This paper used 40 online photos with 160 sessions for the conversation experiment for the Chinese elderly and young people to analyze these photos and classify them. Sentiment analysis of Chinese conversational texts was used to estimate the speaker’s attitude towards these photos. We collected the data set from the average value of sentiment analysis, the number of words uttered by the speakers, the pulse of the elderly, and the stress level of the youth for each photo. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) was carried out as a data preprocessing step to improve classification accuracies, and we selected four Principal Components (PCs) that account for 85.20% of total variance in the data. Next, we normalized these four PCs scores for Hierarchical Clustering Analysis (HCA) of the photos, and we got four clusters with different features. The results showed that photos in cluster2 were only optimal for the youth; cluster3 only made the elderly participants speak more; cluster1 and cluster4 was not suitable for the elders and the young people. This paper firstly classified the photos for 2-generation conversation and describing their features in China. Although, we did not find any photos suitable for both the elderly and the youth, this empirical study took a step forward in the investigation of photos for 2-generation conversation in China.
