Abstract While a plethora of studies has been conducted to explore demotivation and its impact on mental health in second language (L2) education, scanty research focuses on demotivation in L2 speaking learning. Particularly, little research explores the measures to quantify L2 speaking demotivation. The present two-phase study attempts to develop and validate an English Speaking Demotivation Scale (ESDS). To this end, an independent sample of 207 Chinese tertiary learners of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) participated in the development phase, and another group of 188 Chinese EFL learners was recruited for the validation of the scale. Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA)… More >

Abstract Speech emotion recognition (SER) uses acoustic analysis to find features for emotion recognition and examines variations in voice that are caused by emotions. The number of features acquired with acoustic analysis is extremely high, so we introduce a hybrid filter-wrapper feature selection algorithm based on an improved equilibrium optimizer for constructing an emotion recognition system. The proposed algorithm implements multi-objective emotion recognition with the minimum number of selected features and maximum accuracy. First, we use the information gain and Fisher Score to sort the features extracted from signals. Then, we employ a multi-objective ranking method to evaluate these features and… More >

Abstract Currently, individuals use online social media, namely Facebook or Twitter, for sharing their thoughts and emotions. Detection of emotions on social networking sites’ finds useful in several applications in social welfare, commerce, public health, and so on. Emotion is expressed in several means, like facial and speech expressions, gestures, and written text. Emotion recognition in a text document is a content-based classification problem that includes notions from deep learning (DL) and natural language processing (NLP) domains. This article proposes a Deer Hunting Optimization with Deep Belief Network Enabled Emotion Classification (DHODBN-EC) on English Twitter Data in this study. The presented… More >

Abstract Millions of people are connecting and exchanging information on social media platforms, where interpersonal interactions are constantly being shared. However, due to inaccurate or misleading information about the COVID-19 pandemic, social media platforms became the scene of tense debates between believers and doubters. Healthcare professionals and public health agencies also use social media to inform the public about COVID-19 news and updates. However, they occasionally have trouble managing massive pandemic-related rumors and frauds. One reason is that people share and engage, regardless of the information source, by assuming the content is unquestionably true. On Twitter, users use words and phrases… More >

Abstract The term ‘corpus’ refers to a huge volume of structured datasets containing machine-readable texts. Such texts are generated in a natural communicative setting. The explosion of social media permitted individuals to spread data with minimal examination and filters freely. Due to this, the old problem of fake news has resurfaced. It has become an important concern due to its negative impact on the community. To manage the spread of fake news, automatic recognition approaches have been investigated earlier using Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) techniques. To perform the medicinal text classification tasks, the ML approaches were applied, and… More >

Abstract The term ‘executed linguistics’ corresponds to an interdisciplinary domain in which the solutions are identified and provided for real-time language-related problems. The exponential generation of text data on the Internet must be leveraged to gain knowledgeable insights. The extraction of meaningful insights from text data is crucial since it can provide value-added solutions for business organizations and end-users. The Automatic Text Summarization (ATS) process reduces the primary size of the text without losing any basic components of the data. The current study introduces an Applied Linguistics-based English Text Summarization using a Mixed Leader-Based Optimizer with Deep Learning (ALTS-MLODL) model. The… 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 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. As a case study, Songs are opted to design and test the decision… More >

Abstract An obviously challenging problem in named entity recognition is the construction of the kind data set of entities. Although some research has been conducted on entity database construction, the majority of them are directed at Wikipedia or the minority at structured entities such as people, locations and organizational nouns in the news. This paper focuses on the identification of scientific entities in carbonate platforms in English literature, using the example of carbonate platforms in sedimentology. Firstly, based on the fact that the reasons for writing literature in key disciplines are likely to be provided by multidisciplinary experts, this paper designs… More >

Abstract The present system experimentally demonstrates a synthesis of syllables and words from tongue manoeuvers in multiple languages, captured by four oral sensors only. For an experimental demonstration of the system used in the oral cavity, a prototype tooth model was used. Based on the principle developed in a previous publication by the author(s), the proposed system has been implemented using the oral cavity (tongue, teeth, and lips) features alone, without the glottis and the larynx. The positions of the sensors in the proposed system were optimized based on articulatory (oral cavity) gestures estimated by simulating the mechanism of human speech.… More >
