Abstract
Conference Title: 2022 IEEE 23rd International Conference on Information Reuse and Integration for Data Science (IRI) Conference Start Date: 2022, Aug. 9 Conference End Date: 2022, Aug. 11 Conference Location: San Diego, CA, USAWith the recent changes in college admissions, Advance Placement (AP) courses become ever more critical in demonstrating student academic performance in college applications. Teens feel the pressure of taking more AP courses and performing well on AP exams. Stress is one important factor that contributes to psychological disorders. It is valuable to understand and analyze teens' emotions toward AP courses using real-world data; however, there is a lack of research in the literature. Considering the feasibility and limitations of the traditional questionnaire approach, this research collects real world data from social media. Students' emotional states, such as enjoyment and stress, are analyzed from Twitter's tweets using various deep learning models with different text augmentation techniques. We summarize the analysis results as word clouds and emotion charts in each month in an academic year. Students can use the research results to prepare for the self-adjustment of emotions over time when taking AP courses. Parents, school counselors, and psychologists can use this empirical study to better understand students' sentiments and trends during different time periods, and help teens to thrive.
