Abstract YouTube videos on sustainable fashion enable the public to gain basic knowledge about this concept. In this paper, we analyse user comments on YouTube videos that contain sustainable fashion content. The paper’s main objective is to help content creators and business managers effectively understand the perspectives of viewers, thus improving video quality and developing business. We analysed a dataset of 17,357 comments collected from 15 sustainable fashion YouTube videos. First, we use Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA), a topic modelling technique, to discover the abstract topics. In addition, we use two approaches to rank these topics: ranking based on proportion and… More >

Abstract The exponential growth in the development of smartphones and handheld devices is permeated due to everyday activities i.e., games applications, entertainment, online banking, social network sites, etc., and also allow the end users to perform a variety of activities. Because of activities, mobile devices attract cybercriminals to initiate an attack over a diverse range of malicious activities such as theft of unauthorized information, phishing, spamming, Distributed Denial of Services (DDoS), and malware dissemination. Botnet applications are a type of harmful attack that can be used to launch malicious activities and has become a significant threat in the research area. A… More >

Abstract Wheat rust diseases are one of the major types of fungal diseases that cause substantial yield quality losses of 15%–20% every year. The wheat rust diseases are identified either through experienced evaluators or computerassisted techniques. The experienced evaluators take time to identify the disease which is highly laborious and too costly. If wheat rust diseases are predicted at the development stages, then fungicides are sprayed earlier which helps to increase wheat yield quality. To solve the experienced evaluator issues, a combined region extraction and cross-entropy support vector machine (CE-SVM) model is proposed for wheat rust disease identification. In the proposed… More >

Abstract One of the biggest dangers to society today is terrorism, where attacks have become one of the most significant risks to international peace and national security. Big data, information analysis, and artificial intelligence (AI) have become the basis for making strategic decisions in many sensitive areas, such as fraud detection, risk management, medical diagnosis, and counter-terrorism. However, there is still a need to assess how terrorist attacks are related, initiated, and detected. For this purpose, we propose a novel framework for classifying and predicting terrorist attacks. The proposed framework posits that neglected text attributes included in the Global Terrorism Database… More >

Abstract Watermarks can provide reliable and secure copyright protection for optical coherence tomography (OCT) fundus images. The effective image segmentation is helpful for promoting OCT image watermarking. However, OCT images have a large amount of low-quality data, which seriously affects the performance of segmentation methods. Therefore, this paper proposes an effective segmentation method for OCT fundus image watermarking using a rough convolutional neural network (RCNN). First, the rough-set-based feature discretization module is designed to preprocess the input data. Second, a dual attention mechanism for feature channels and spatial regions in the CNN is added to enable the model to adaptively select… More >

Abstract Sentiment analysis (SA) of the Arabic language becomes important despite scarce annotated corpora and confined sources. Arabic affect Analysis has become an active research zone nowadays. But still, the Arabic language lags behind adequate language sources for enabling the SA tasks. Thus, Arabic still faces challenges in natural language processing (NLP) tasks because of its structure complexities, history, and distinct cultures. It has gained lesser effort than the other languages. This paper developed a Multi-versus Optimization with Deep Reinforcement Learning Enabled Affect Analysis (MVODRL-AA) on Arabic Corpus. The presented MVODRL-AA model majorly concentrates on identifying and classifying effects or emotions… More >

Abstract Affinity propagation (AP) is a widely used exemplar-based clustering approach with superior efficiency and clustering quality. Nevertheless, a common issue with AP clustering is the presence of excessive exemplars, which limits its ability to perform effective aggregation. This research aims to enable AP to automatically aggregate to produce fewer and more compact clusters, without changing the similarity matrix or customizing preference parameters, as done in existing enhanced approaches. An automatic aggregation enhanced affinity propagation (AAEAP) clustering algorithm is proposed, which combines a dependable partitioning clustering approach with AP to achieve this purpose. The partitioning clustering approach generates an additional set… More >

Abstract The Internet has become one of the significant sources for sharing information and expressing users’ opinions about products and their interests with the associated aspects. It is essential to learn about product reviews; however, to react to such reviews, extracting aspects of the entity to which these reviews belong is equally important. Aspect-based Sentiment Analysis (ABSA) refers to aspects extracted from an opinionated text. The literature proposes different approaches for ABSA; however, most research is focused on supervised approaches, which require labeled datasets with manual sentiment polarity labeling and aspect tagging. This study proposes a semi-supervised approach with minimal human… More >

Abstract Language difficulties vary widely among people with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). However, the semantic processing of autistic person and its underlying electrophysiological mechanism are still unclear. This meta-analysis aimed to explore the disturbance of semantic processing in patients with ASD. PubMed, Web of Science, and Embase were searched for event-related potential (ERP) studies on semantic processing in autistic people published in English before September 01, 2022. Pooled estimates were calculated by fixed-effects or random-effects models according to the heterogeneity using Comprehensive Meta-Analysis 2.0. The potential moderators were explored by meta-regression and subgroup analysis. This meta-analysis has been registered at the… More >

Abstract Forecasting river flow is crucial for optimal planning, management, and sustainability using freshwater resources. Many machine learning (ML) approaches have been enhanced to improve streamflow prediction. Hybrid techniques have been viewed as a viable method for enhancing the accuracy of univariate streamflow estimation when compared to standalone approaches. Current researchers have also emphasised using hybrid models to improve forecast accuracy. Accordingly, this paper conducts an updated literature review of applications of hybrid models in estimating streamflow over the last five years, summarising data preprocessing, univariate machine learning modelling strategy, advantages and disadvantages of standalone ML techniques, hybrid models, and performance… More > Graphic Abstract
