| Abstract | In this paper we examined content, mood and general dynamics of health forum discussions concerning vaccinations, genetically modified organisms (GMO) and a gluten-free diet and explored the ability to extract sentiment from social media. Using data from the social media website Reddit.com, we applied text mining techniques together with machine learning algorithms to derive insights. We used metadata from the source, text features, Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) topic model outputs and manually annotated disposition labels that separate comments into affirmative or negative groups together with Gradient Boosted Models (GBM) to devise a set of disposition models inferring commentators' sentiment towards each topic and expand our understanding of relevant arguments. Manual annotation resulted in moderate interrater agreement of an average 0.48 Fleiss-Kappa. Despite that, the disposition models for each topic were able to achieve a balanced successful prediction rates of between 68% and 74% providing a considerably better than chance assessment of a commentator's disposition towards each topic. We observed changes in disposition over time and found areas of disagreement between the supporters and opponents of each topic. Despite the limitations associated with manual annotations, we obtained a wider view on the issues concerning the topics of interest than those offered by previous research. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
