Abstract Quality education is one of the primary objectives of any nation-building strategy and is one of the seventeen Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by the United Nations. To provide quality education, delivering top-quality content is not enough. However, understanding the learners’ emotions during the learning process is equally important. However, most of this research work uses general data accessed from Twitter or other publicly available databases. These databases are generally not an ideal representation of the actual learning process and the learners’ sentiments about the learning process. This research has collected real data from the learners, mainly undergraduate university students of… More >

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 study proposes a unique hybrid… More >

Abstract People utilize microblogs and other social media platforms to express their thoughts and feelings regarding current events, public products and the latest affairs. People share their thoughts and feelings about various topics, including products, news, blogs, etc. In user reviews and tweets, sentiment analysis is used to discover opinions and feelings. Sentiment polarity is a term used to describe how sentiment is represented. Positive, neutral and negative are all examples of it. This area is still in its infancy and needs several critical upgrades. Slang and hidden emotions can detract from the accuracy of traditional techniques. Existing methods only evaluate… 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. These sources were used for… 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 to estimate and compare the… 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. Neural word embedding has been… More >

Abstract The COVID-19 pandemic has spread globally, resulting in financial instability in many countries and reductions in the per capita gross domestic product. Sentiment analysis is a cost-effective method for acquiring sentiments based on household income loss, as expressed on social media. However, limited research has been conducted in this domain using the LexDeep approach. This study aimed to explore social trend analytics using LexDeep, which is a hybrid sentiment analysis technique, on Twitter to capture the risk of household income loss during the COVID-19 pandemic. First, tweet data were collected using Twint with relevant keywords before (9 March 2019 to… More >

Abstract The outbreak of the pandemic, caused by Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19), has affected the daily activities of people across the globe. During COVID-19 outbreak and the successive lockdowns, Twitter was heavily used and the number of tweets regarding COVID-19 increased tremendously. Several studies used Sentiment Analysis (SA) to analyze the emotions expressed through tweets upon COVID-19. Therefore, in current study, a new Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) with Machine Learning-driven SA (ABCML-SA) model is developed for conducting Sentiment Analysis of COVID-19 Twitter data. The prime focus of the presented ABCML-SA model is to recognize the sentiments expressed in tweets made upon… More >

Abstract Automatic extraction of the patient’s health information from the unstructured data concerning the discharge summary remains challenging. Discharge summary related documents contain various aspects of the patient health condition to examine the quality of treatment and thereby help improve decision-making in the medical field. Using a sentiment dictionary and feature engineering, the researchers primarily mine semantic text features. However, choosing and designing features requires a lot of manpower. The proposed approach is an unsupervised deep learning model that learns a set of clusters embedded in the latent space. A composite model including Active Learning (AL), Convolutional Neural Network (CNN), BiGRU,… More >

Abstract A Deep Neural Sentiment Classification Network (DNSCN) is developed in this work to classify the Twitter data unambiguously. It attempts to extract the negative and positive sentiments in the Twitter database. The main goal of the system is to find the sentiment behavior of tweets with minimum ambiguity. A well-defined neural network extracts deep features from the tweets automatically. Before extracting features deeper and deeper, the text in each tweet is represented by Bag-of-Words (BoW) and Word Embeddings (WE) models. The effectiveness of DNSCN architecture is analyzed using Twitter-Sanders-Apple2 (TSA2), Twitter-Sanders-Apple3 (TSA3), and Twitter-DataSet (TDS). TSA2 and TDS consist of… More >
