Abstract In a public procurement process, corruption can occur at each stage, favoring a participant with a previous agreement, which can result in over-pricing and purchases of substandard products, as well as gender discrimination. This paper’s aim is to detect biased purchases using a Spanish Language corpus, analyzing text from the questions and answers registry platform by applicants in a public procurement process in Ecuador. Additionally, gender bias is detected, promoting both men and women to participate under the same conditions. In order to detect gender bias and favoritism towards certain providers by contracting entities, the… More >

Abstract Aspect-Based Sentiment Analysis (ABSA) on Arabic corpus has become an active research topic in recent days. ABSA refers to a fine-grained Sentiment Analysis (SA) task that focuses on the extraction of the conferred aspects and the identification of respective sentiment polarity from the provided text. Most of the prevailing Arabic ABSA techniques heavily depend upon dreary feature-engineering and pre-processing tasks and utilize external sources such as lexicons. In literature, concerning the Arabic language text analysis, the authors made use of regular Machine Learning (ML) techniques that rely on a group of rare sources and tools.… More >

Abstract Predicting Bitcoin price trends is necessary because they represent the overall trend of the cryptocurrency market. As the history of the Bitcoin market is short and price volatility is high, studies have been conducted on the factors affecting changes in Bitcoin prices. Experiments have been conducted to predict Bitcoin prices using Twitter content. However, the amount of data was limited, and prices were predicted for only a short period (less than two years). In this study, data from Reddit and LexisNexis, covering a period of more than four years, were collected. These data were utilized… More >

Abstract Sentiment Analysis (SA) is one of the Machine Learning (ML) techniques that has been investigated by several researchers in recent years, especially due to the evolution of novel data collection methods focused on social media. In literature, it has been reported that SA data is created for English language in excess of any other language. It is challenging to perform SA for Arabic Twitter data owing to informal nature and rich morphology of Arabic language. An earlier study conducted upon SA for Arabic Twitter focused mostly on automatic extraction of the features from the text.… More >

Abstract Data privacy laws require service providers to inform their customers on how user data is gathered, used, protected, and shared. The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a legal framework that provides guidelines for collecting and processing personal information from individuals. Service providers use privacy policies to outline the ways an organization captures, retains, analyzes, and shares customers’ data with other parties. These policies are complex and written using legal jargon; therefore, users rarely read them before accepting them. There exist a number of approaches to automating the task of summarizing privacy policies and assigning… More >

Abstract The text classification process has been extensively investigated in various languages, especially English. Text classification models are vital in several Natural Language Processing (NLP) applications. The Arabic language has a lot of significance. For instance, it is the fourth mostly-used language on the internet and the sixth official language of the United Nations. However, there are few studies on the text classification process in Arabic. A few text classification studies have been published earlier in the Arabic language. In general, researchers face two challenges in the Arabic text classification process: low accuracy and high dimensionality… More >

Abstract Phishing is a type of cybercrime in which cyber-attackers pose themselves as authorized persons or entities and hack the victims’ sensitive data. E-mails, instant messages and phone calls are some of the common modes used in cyberattacks. Though the security models are continuously upgraded to prevent cyberattacks, hackers find innovative ways to target the victims. In this background, there is a drastic increase observed in the number of phishing emails sent to potential targets. This scenario necessitates the importance of designing an effective classification model. Though numerous conventional models are available in the literature for… More >

Abstract The recent developments in Multimedia Internet of Things (MIoT) devices, empowered with Natural Language Processing (NLP) model, seem to be a promising future of smart devices. It plays an important role in industrial models such as speech understanding, emotion detection, home automation, and so on. If an image needs to be captioned, then the objects in that image, its actions and connections, and any silent feature that remains under-projected or missing from the images should be identified. The aim of the image captioning process is to generate a caption for image. In next step, the… More >

Abstract With the advancements in internet facilities, people are more inclined towards the use of online services. The service providers shelve their items for e-users. These users post their feedbacks, reviews, ratings, etc. after the use of the item. The enormous increase in these reviews has raised the need for an automated system to analyze these reviews to rate these items. Sentiment Analysis (SA) is a technique that performs such decision analysis. This research targets the ranking and rating through sentiment analysis of these reviews, on different aspects.
