Abstract

This study analyzes the polarization of public opinion regarding the removal of fuel subsidies in Indonesia using a graph-based sentiment classification approach that integrates Pointwise Mutual Information (PMI) and Graph Convolutional Networks (GCN). Sentiment analysis of social media data presents challenges due to the short and noisy nature of texts, which often limits the performance of conventional classification methods in capturing contextual and semantic relationships. Additionally, many existing approaches primarily rely on vector-based text representations and do not explicitly capture semantic relationships between words within a graph structure. To address this limitation, this study proposes a graph-based representation that incorporates PMI to strengthen semantic relationships between words in the construction of a GCN model. A dataset consisting of 557 tweets related to the fuel subsidy issue was collected and preprocessed before being transformed into a graph representation. In this graph representation, document-word relationships were weighted using TF-IDF, while word-word relationships were weighted using PMI to capture co-occurrence-based semantic associations. Two experimental scenarios were evaluated: a baseline GCN model without PMI and a PMI-enhanced GCN model. Both models were trained using a 70:15:15 train-validation-test split with identical hyperparameter settings. The experimental results show that the baseline GCN achieved an accuracy of 65%, while the integration of PMI improved the accuracy to 73%. These findings indicate that incorporating PMI enriches the semantic relationships within the graph representation and improves the effectiveness of GCN in sentiment classification tasks. The proposed approach contributes to the development of graph-based sentiment analysis methods and provides insights into public opinion polarization related to government policy issues on social media.
