Abstract Offensive messages on social media, have recently been frequently used to harass and criticize people. In recent studies, many promising algorithms have been developed to identify offensive texts. Most algorithms analyze text in a unidirectional manner, where a bidirectional method can maximize performance results and capture semantic and contextual information in sentences. In addition, there are many separate models for identifying offensive texts based on monolingual and multilingual, but there are a few models that can detect both monolingual and multilingual-based offensive texts. In this study, a detection system has been developed for both monolingual and multilingual offensive texts by… More >

Abstract Joint entity and relation extraction (JERE) is an important foundation for unstructured knowledge extraction in natural language processing (NLP). Thus, designing efficient algorithms for it has become a vital task. Although existing methods can efficiently extract entities and relations, their performance should be improved. In this paper, we propose a novel model called Attention and Span-based Entity and Relation Transformer (ASpERT) for JERE. First, differing from the traditional approach that only considers the last hidden layer as the feature embedding, ASpERT concatenates the attention head information of each layer with the information of the last hidden layer by using an… More >

Abstract Wireless sensor networks are extensively utilized as a communication mechanism in the field of the Internet of Things (IoT). Along with these services, numerous IoT based applications need stabilized transmission or delivery over unbalanced wireless connections. To ensure the stability of data packets delivery, prevailing works exploit diverse geographical routing with multi-hop forwarders in WSNs. Furthermore, critical Denial of Service (DoS) attacks frequently has an impact on these techniques, where an enormous amount of invalid data starts replicating and transmitted to receivers to prevent Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) communication. In this investigation, a novel adaptive endorsement method is designed by… More >

Abstract In recent years, with the development of the natural language processing (NLP) technologies, security analyst began to use NLP directly on assembly codes which were disassembled from binary executables in order to examine binary similarity, achieved great progress. However, we found that the existing frameworks often ignored the complex internal structure of instructions and didn’t fully consider the long-term dependencies of instructions. In this paper, we propose firmVulSeeker—a vulnerability search tool for embedded firmware images, based on BERT and Siamese network. It first builds a BERT MLM task to observe and learn the semantics of different instructions in their context… More >

Abstract Berth and loading and unloading machinery are not only the main factors that affecting the terminal operation, but also the main starting point of energy saving and emission reduction. In this paper, a genetic Algorithm Framework is designed for the berth allocation with low carbon and high efficiency at bulk terminal. In solving the problem, the scheduler’s experience is transformed into a regular way to obtain the initial solution. The individual is represented as a chromosome, and the sub-chromosomes are encoded as integers, the roulette wheel method is used for selection, the two-point crossing method is used for cross, and… More >

Abstract The volume of academic literature, such as academic conference papers and journals, has increased rapidly worldwide, and research on metadata extraction is ongoing. However, high-performing metadata extraction is still challenging due to diverse layout formats according to journal publishers. To accommodate the diversity of the layouts of academic journals, we propose a novel LAyout-aware Metadata Extraction (LAME) framework equipped with the three characteristics (e.g., design of automatic layout analysis, construction of a large meta-data training set, and implementation of metadata extractor). In the framework, we designed an automatic layout analysis using PDFMiner. Based on the layout analysis, a large volume… More >

Abstract With the global warming to the survival and development of mankind, more and more attention is paid to low-carbon, green and energy-saving production. As one of the main modes of international transportation, the wharf has been facing a serious problem of its high carbon-emission. In order to balance the relationship between port energy consumption and efficiency, it is necessary to study the berth allocation, loading and unloading of bulk terminal from the perspective of energy saving with the proposal of energy saving and emission reduction in China. Both energy saving and efficiency can be achieved at the bulk terminal in… More >

Abstract Nowadays, we can use the multi-task learning approach to train a machine-learning algorithm to learn multiple related tasks instead of training it to solve a single task. In this work, we propose an algorithm for estimating textual similarity scores and then use these scores in multiple tasks such as text ranking, essay grading, and question answering systems. We used several vectorization schemes to represent the Arabic texts in the SemEval2017-task3-subtask-D dataset. The used schemes include lexical-based similarity features, frequency-based features, and pre-trained model-based features. Also, we used contextual-based embedding models such as Arabic Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers (AraBERT). We… More >

Abstract A multiple power quality (MPQ) disturbance has two or more power quality (PQ) disturbances superimposed on a voltage signal. A compact and robust technique is required to identify and classify the MPQ disturbances. This manuscript investigated a hybrid algorithm which is designed using parallel processing of voltage with multiple power quality (MPQ) disturbance using stockwell transform (ST) and hilbert transform (HT). This will reduce the computational time to identify the MPQ disturbances, which makes the algorithm fast. A MPQ identification index (IPI) is computed using statistical features extracted from the voltage signal using the ST and HT. IPI has different… More >

Abstract Due to the widespread usage of social media in our recent daily lifestyles, sentiment analysis becomes an important field in pattern recognition and Natural Language Processing (NLP). In this field, users’ feedback data on a specific issue are evaluated and analyzed. Detecting emotions within the text is therefore considered one of the important challenges of the current NLP research. Emotions have been widely studied in psychology and behavioral science as they are an integral part of the human nature. Emotions describe a state of mind of distinct behaviors, feelings, thoughts and experiences. The main objective of this paper is to… More >
