Abstract

Currently, the entire global population is experiencing the profound impact of the COVID-19 virus. In response, the Chinese government has implemented various measures to enforce social distancing, aiming to minimize the spread of the disease. Consequently, an increasing number of individuals are turning to social media platforms as a means to express their emotions and share their viewpoints. Among these platforms, Weibo has emerged as one of the largest and most vibrant social networks, boasting a substantial user base. In order to effectively capture and reflect the ongoingcxs social trends, Weibo has in”troduced a feature known as “trending topics,” which highlights the most popular subjects among its users. In this research study, a comprehensive collection of over 130,000 trending topics from the entire year of 2022 was gathered and subsequently analyzed using the BERT (Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers) model. The dataset was subjected to several processing steps, including topic categorization and sentiment analysis, to extract meaningful insights and discern patterns within the data. Through this analysis, a deeper understanding of the prevalent social discourse and sentiment surrounding these trending topics can be achieved.
