Abstract
The United Nations' Zero Hunger initiative, an ambitious goal of eradicating hunger and ensuring food security by 2030, requires a comprehensive understanding of global perceptions to tailor effective policies and interventions. Young adults, who are at the forefront of social and political activism, represent a crucial demographic in this effort. Their views on hunger and food insecurity can significantly influence public discourse and policy directions. This review article examines the development and application of Machine Learning (ML) algorithms to analyze young adults' perceptions of hunger within the context of the Zero Hunger initiative. By reviewing recent studies and advancements, the article highlights how ML techniques such as Natural Language Processing (NLP), sentiment analysis, and predictive modeling have been utilized to extract meaningful insights from large datasets. These techniques have proven instrumental in understanding the complex and evolving perspectives of young adults on hunger issues, which are influenced by various social, economic, and cultural factors. Furthermore, the article delves into the challenges and ethical considerations associated with applying ML in this context, including data quality, algorithmic bias, and privacy concerns. It emphasizes the importance of developing transparent and interpretable models that both researchers and policymakers can trust. The article also suggests future directions for research, including the integration of multi-modal data and the development of real-time analytics tools. By addressing these challenges and exploring new methodologies, the potential of ML to contribute to the Zero Hunger initiative can be fully realized, making it a critical tool in the global fight against hunger.
