Abstract Aspect-based sentiment analysis aims to detect and classify the sentiment polarities as negative, positive, or neutral while associating them with their identified aspects from the corresponding context. In this regard, prior methodologies widely utilize either word embedding or tree-based representations. Meanwhile, the separate use of those deep features such as word embedding and tree-based dependencies has become a significant cause of information loss. Generally, word embedding preserves the syntactic and semantic relations between a couple of terms lying in a sentence. Besides, the tree-based structure conserves the grammatical and logical dependencies of context. In addition, the sentence-oriented word position describes… More >

Abstract Knowing each other is obligatory in a multi-agent collaborative environment. Collaborators may develop the desired know-how of each other in various aspects such as habits, job roles, status, and behaviors. Among different distinguishing characteristics related to a person, personality traits are an effective predictive tool for an individual’s behavioral pattern. It has been observed that when people are asked to share their details through questionnaires, they intentionally or unintentionally become biased. They knowingly or unknowingly provide enough information in much-unbiased comportment in open writing about themselves. Such writings can effectively assess an individual’s personality traits that may yield enormous possibilities… More >

Abstract Sentiment Analysis (SA) of natural language text is not only a challenging process but also gains significance in various Natural Language Processing (NLP) applications. The SA is utilized in various applications, namely, education, to improve the learning and teaching processes, marketing strategies, customer trend predictions, and the stock market. Various researchers have applied lexicon-related approaches, Machine Learning (ML) techniques and so on to conduct the SA for multiple languages, for instance, English and Chinese. Due to the increased popularity of the Deep Learning models, the current study used diverse configuration settings of the Convolution Neural Network (CNN) model and conducted… More >

Abstract One of the issues in Computer Vision is the automatic development of descriptions for images, sometimes known as image captioning. Deep Learning techniques have made significant progress in this area. The typical architecture of image captioning systems consists mainly of an image feature extractor subsystem followed by a caption generation lingual subsystem. This paper aims to find optimized models for these two subsystems. For the image feature extraction subsystem, the research tested eight different concatenations of pairs of vision models to get among them the most expressive extracted feature vector of the image. For the caption generation lingual subsystem, this… More >

Abstract In bilingual translation, attention-based Neural Machine Translation (NMT) models are used to achieve synchrony between input and output sequences and the notion of alignment. NMT model has obtained state-of-the-art performance for several language pairs. However, there has been little work exploring useful architectures for Urdu-to-English machine translation. We conducted extensive Urdu-to-English translation experiments using Long short-term memory (LSTM)/Bidirectional recurrent neural networks (Bi-RNN)/Statistical recurrent unit (SRU)/Gated recurrent unit (GRU)/Convolutional neural network (CNN) and Transformer. Experimental results show that Bi-RNN and LSTM with attention mechanism trained iteratively, with a scalable data set, make precise predictions on unseen data. The trained models yielded… More >

Abstract Sentiment Analysis (SA), a Machine Learning (ML) technique, is often applied in the literature. The SA technique is specifically applied to the data collected from social media sites. The research studies conducted earlier upon the SA of the tweets were mostly aimed at automating the feature extraction process. In this background, the current study introduces a novel method called Quantum Particle Swarm Optimization with Deep Learning-Based Sentiment Analysis on Arabic Tweets (QPSODL-SAAT). The presented QPSODL-SAAT model determines and classifies the sentiments of the tweets written in Arabic. Initially, the data pre-processing is performed to convert the raw tweets into a… 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 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 >

Abstract English to Urdu machine translation is still in its beginning and lacks simple translation methods to provide motivating and adequate English to Urdu translation. In order to make knowledge available to the masses, there should be mechanisms and tools in place to make things understandable by translating from source language to target language in an automated fashion. Machine translation has achieved this goal with encouraging results. When decoding the source text into the target language, the translator checks all the characteristics of the text. To achieve machine translation, rule-based, computational, hybrid and neural machine translation approaches have been proposed to… More >

Abstract IC (Image Captioning) is a crucial part of Visual Data Processing and aims at understanding for providing captions that verbalize an image’s important elements. However, in existing works, because of the complexity in images, neglecting major relation between the object in an image, poor quality image, labelling it remains a big problem for researchers. Hence, the main objective of this work attempts to overcome these challenges by proposing a novel framework for IC. So in this research work the main contribution deals with the framework consists of three phases that is image understanding, textual understanding and decoding. Initially, the image… More >
