The Rohingya refugee crisis, a humanitarian tribulation involving the persecution of the Rohingya Muslim ethnic minority group in Myanmar, has led to a massive exodus of refugees, primarily women and children, to neighboring Bangladesh. Analyzing public opinion toward the Rohingya crisis poses a challenge due to the time complexity of manually assessing individual expressions from the vast amount of text on online platforms. This research focuses on identifying hidden patterns in online discussions surrounding the Rohingya refugee crisis, employing topic modeling and a thematic sentiment analysis-based approach. It represents the first comprehensive exploration of public views on internet spaces to support this community. In the experiment, we identified 15 coherent topics from 6,840 unique documents with a high coherence score of about 0.60. The key themes explored encompass familial resilience, the urgency of addressing the refugee crisis, complexities within the Rohingya situation, religious and cultural elements, and geopolitical considerations. Sentiment analysis revealed nuanced emotional tones, with positive sentiments in discussions about refugee support and international aid and mixed or negative sentiments in topics concerning religious dynamics and women’s protection. The implications of this research extend to guiding policymakers, humanitarian organizations, and advocacy groups in developing targeted interventions, communication strategies, and informed policy initiatives. In addition, the findings emphasize the importance of understanding and responding effectively to the multifaceted challenges faced by the Rohingya community.

罗兴亚难民危机是一场涉及对缅甸罗兴亚穆斯林少数民族的迫害的人道主义灾难，导致大量难民（主要是妇女和儿童）流向邻国孟加拉国。分析公众对罗兴亚危机的看法是一项挑战，因为从在线平台上的大量文本中手动评估个人表达的时间很复杂。本研究的重点是识别围绕罗兴亚难民危机的在线讨论中的隐藏模式，采用主题建模和基于主题情感分析的方法。它代表了对 Internet 空间上公众观点的首次全面探索，以支持该社区。在实验中，我们从 6,840 个独特的文档中确定了 15 个连贯主题，连贯性得分约为 0.60。探讨的关键主题包括家庭韧性、解决难民危机的紧迫性、罗兴亚局势的复杂性、宗教和文化因素以及地缘政治考虑。情绪分析揭示了微妙的情绪基调，在关于难民支持和国际援助的讨论中，人们持积极情绪，而在有关宗教动态和妇女保护的话题中，情绪混合或消极。这项研究的意义延伸到指导政策制定者、人道主义组织和倡导团体制定有针对性的干预措施、沟通策略和明智的政策倡议。此外，研究结果强调了理解和有效应对罗兴亚社区面临的多方面挑战的重要性。
