Abstract
The COVID-19 outbreak is moving individuals globally. Monitoring social media and internet news is now vital to grasping this phenomenon and its impact. This study’s goal is to offer a method for capturing important concepts and themes addressed in the mainstream media and social networks and then apply it to the COVID-19 outbreak. This study compares articles and news, then visualizes the evolution and influence of the COVID-19 epidemic articles. The COVID-19 articles dataset from Kaggle is utilized for experiments. Various articles use the dataset to examine COVID-19 reviews. The studies use datasets and models such as Decision Tree (DT), Logistic Regression (LR), and Extra Tree Classifier (ETC), with F1 score, precision, and recall being evaluated. To improve accuracy, Term Frequency-Inverse Document Frequency (TF-IDF) is applied to the extracted keywords. The assembled model enhances this research, and the Logistic Regression (LR) model provides the highest accuracy at 90%.
