to improving the classification accuracy. Although
good and promising results were achieved using the
proposed data type (online forum discussion) and
features (LIWC) many directions remain open for
development in this area of research. One of the
important aspects is the utilisation of the LIWC
dictionary for further analysis of a person’s emotional
and psychological status at various stages of the stop
smoking process (i.e. in journey to stop smoking).
