Opinion target extraction or aspect extraction is the most important subtask of the aspect-based sentiment analysis. This task focuses on the identification of the targets of user's opinions or sentiments from online reviews. In the recent years, syntactic patterns-based approaches have performed quite well and produced significant improvement in the aspect extraction task. However, these approaches are heavily dependent on the dependency parsers which produced syntactic relations following the grammatical rules and language constraints. In contemporary, users do not give much importance to these rules and constraints while expressing their opinions about particular product and neither reviewer websites restrict users to do so. This makes syntactic patterns-based approaches vulnerable. Therefore, in this paper, we are proposing a two-fold rules-based model (TF-RBM) which uses rules defined on the basis of sequential patterns mined from customer reviews. The first fold extracts aspects associated with domain independent opinions and the second fold extracts aspects associated with domain dependent opinions. We have also applied frequency- and similarity-based approaches to improve the aspect extraction accuracy of the proposed model. Our experimental evaluation has shown better results as compared with the state-of-the-art and most recent approaches. (C) 2017 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Summary: The past two decades have seen significant growth in Internet of Things (IoT) applications, with over 50 billion connected devices globally. However, the connectivity of IoT applications with the internet has also made them vulnerable to a range of traditional threats, including viruses, malware, and backdoor attacks. Traditional security techniques are no longer sufficient to address these issues, and there is a need to explore advanced technologies such as blockchain, machine learning, and artificial intelligence to ensure the security and privacy of IoT systems. This study aims to identify and categorize the various types of threats targeting IoT systems and develop recovery mechanisms to mitigate the damage caused by these threats. The findings of this study highlight the research gaps in this area and suggest the importance of expanding advanced technologies to guarantee the security and privacy of IoT systems.

Multi Layered Rule-Based Technique for Explicit Aspect Extraction from Online Reviews

Mubashar Hussain, Toqir A. Rana, Aksam Iftikhar, M. Usman Ashraf, Muhammad Waseem Iqbal, Ahmed Alshaflut, Abdullah Alourani

Summary: In sentiment analysis, extracting aspects or opinion targets from user reviews about a product is crucial. Rule-based approaches, such as dependency-based rules and sequential rules, have been widely used for this purpose. However, they heavily rely on the accuracy of POS tagger and dependency parser, and sequential rule-based approaches generally lack generalization capability. In this article, a multi-layered rule-based technique is proposed, which combines syntactic dependency parser based rules and selective sequential rules to extract noun aspects. Additionally, rules for extracting verb aspects are developed based on the association between verb and opinion words. The proposed technique improves the extraction results on two customer review datasets, achieving F1 scores of 0.90 and 0.88, respectively, surpassing existing approaches.

Summary: This study investigated the influence of input parameters on the shear strength of RC squat walls and found that ensemble learning models, particularly XGBoost, can effectively predict the shear strength. The axial load had a greater influence than reinforcement ratio, and longitudinal reinforcement had a more significant impact compared to horizontal and vertical reinforcement. The performance of XGBoost model outperforms traditional design models and reducing input features still yields reliable predictions.

Learning high-dependence Bayesian network classifier with robust topology

Limin Wang, Lingling Li, Qilong Li, Kuo Li

Summary: This paper discusses the urgency of learning complex multivariate probability distributions due to the increase in data variability and quantity. It introduces a highly scalable classifier called TAN, which utilizes maximum weighted spanning tree (MWST) for graphical modeling. The paper theoretically proves the feasibility of extending one-dependence MWST to model high-dependence relationships and proposes a heuristic search strategy to improve the fitness of the extended topology to data. Experimental results demonstrate that this algorithm achieves a good bias-variance tradeoff and competitive classification performance compared to other high-dependence or ensemble learning algorithms.
