Abstract
We introduce LUCE, an advanced dynamic framework with an interactive dashboard for analysing opinionated text aiming to understand people-centred communication. The framework features computational modules of text classification and extraction explicitly designed for analysing different elements of opinions, e.g., sentiment/emotion, suggestion, figurative language, hate/toxic speech, and topics. We designed the framework using a modular architecture, allowing scalability and extensibility with the aim of supporting other NLP tasks in subsequent versions. LUCE comprises trained models, python-based APIs, and a user-friendly dashboard, ensuring an intuitive user experience. LUCE has been validated in a relevant environment, and its capabilities and performance have been demonstrated through initial prototypes and pilot studies.
