Description

People inflicted with diseases such as STDs experience a tremendous number of varying emotions from the onset of symptoms to being cured/living with it. Leveraging the power of bidirectional encoder representation transformers our study builds a custom-named entity recognition model which identifies uniquely associated emotions at various stages of the disease. Our study uses over 1 million posts derived from online communities regarding STDs. We further provide analytical insights into varying emotions at different stages based on contextual reasonings. Finally, we utilize the resulting insights to produce prescriptive measures for future online recommendation systems on online communities, and for stakeholders hoping to build devices that address problems about stigmatized disorders such as STDs.
