Abstract
As social media platforms increasingly serve, machine learning techniques are formulated with particular ontologies, which furnish invaluable resources. This qualitative literature review investigates the incorporation of ontology-driven machine learning methodologies for analysing public policy utilizing social media data. This review encompasses findings from scholarly research published between 2019 and 2024 that apply ontologies to enhance models' interpretation, precision, and flexibility across diverse sectors, including health, environment, economy, and culture. An integrated methodology is adopted to identify, select, and evaluate pertinent studies by scrutinizing elements such as genre ontology, machine learning, existing literature, and evaluation metrics. The findings indicate that the ontology-centric framework facilitates the extraction process and semantic analysis, ultimately contributing to a more nuanced comprehension of unstructured data. Nonetheless, obstacles persist in ontology development concerning capacity enhancement, data integrity, and ethical considerations. The review concludes with a discourse on the ramifications for policymakers and researchers who may leverage these insights to guide decision-making, and scholars are now urged to confront limitations and investigate novel platforms, metrics, and ethical frameworks. The review underscores the potential of ontology-driven machine learning as a formidable strategy in the advancement of policy research and social analysis.
