Definición de una metodología para análisis de discurso basado en lingüística computacional y técnicas de aprendizaje de máquina

Abstract

The different actions carried out by a state regulatory body generate multiple opinions among citizens, which form debates among people, causing them to agree, disagree or partially agree with the decisions or strategies proposed. In order to know the opinions of the citizens, in Chile a project called "Tenemos que hablar Chile" (We have to talk Chile) was created, which asked structured questions to a group of citizens, where the answer of each person was classified by the moderator. each person's answer was classified by the moderator. This label was used for different discourse analyses that began to be developed without any specific order.

This project was replicated in Colombia, under the same dynamics in order to know the opinions of the citizens, however, the techniques used were different from the Chilean project. As a result, it is observed that although both projects had the same dynamics and sought a similar result, it was not possible to reuse the techniques developed in the Chilean project in Colombia. Due to this, the proposal of this master's project seeks the implementation of a methodology that allows the use of different techniques of discourse analysis based on computational linguistics and machine learning that will provide the team of analysts with a scheme of stages which will have tools and techniques of Natural Language processing (NLP) to improve the efficiency of this type of projects.

Within this project we can highlight the strengths of the director who has a high experience in Machine Learning (ML) and NLP, in addition to the strengths of the co-director with a broad understanding of the project "Tenemos que Hablar Colombia" (TQHC), and finally the student of this project with a base in the Master of Data Science and Analytics to generate a research on NLP techniques.
