Table 1. The symbols used in the construction of the SLGM.
Table 2. Classification experiments performed using the free dataset as a training set. (Accuracy: a global score referring to the percentage of data correctly classified. Precision: the ratio of the number of correctly classified data over the total number of data classified as belonging to a particular class. Recall: the ratio of the number of correctly classified tweets over the total number of tweets belonging to a particular class in the test sets. F-score: the harmonic mean of precision and recall).
