Abstract Named entity recognition (NER) is a fundamental task of information extraction (IE), and it has attracted considerable research attention in recent years. The abundant annotated English NER datasets have significantly promoted the NER research in the English field. By contrast, much fewer efforts are made to the Chinese NER research, especially in the scientific domain, due to the scarcity of Chinese NER datasets. To alleviate this problem, we present a Chinese scientific NER dataset–SciCN, which contains entity annotations of titles and abstracts derived from 3,500 scientific papers. We manually annotate a total of 62,059 entities, and these entities are classified… More >

Abstract Thalassemia syndrome is a genetic blood disorder induced by the reduction of normal hemoglobin production, resulting in a drop in the size of red blood cells. In severe forms, it can lead to death. This genetic disorder has posed a major burden on public health wherein patients with severe thalassemia need periodic therapy of iron chelation and blood transfusion for survival. Therefore, controlling thalassemia is extremely important and is made by promoting screening to the general population, particularly among thalassemia carriers. Today Twitter is one of the most influential social media platforms for sharing opinions and discussing different topics like… 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 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 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 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 With the increasing usage of drugs to remedy different diseases, drug safety has become crucial over the past few years. Often medicine from several companies is offered for a single disease that involves the same/similar substances with slightly different formulae. Such diversification is both helpful and dangerous as such medicine proves to be more effective or shows side effects to different patients. Despite clinical trials, side effects are reported when the medicine is used by the mass public, of which several such experiences are shared on social media platforms. A system capable of analyzing such reviews could be very helpful… More >

Abstract Sentiment analysis is based on the orientation of user attitudes and satisfaction towards services and subjects. Different methods and techniques have been introduced to analyze sentiments for obtaining high accuracy. The sentiment analysis accuracy depends mainly on supervised and unsupervised mechanisms. Supervised mechanisms are based on machine learning algorithms that achieve moderate or high accuracy but the manual annotation of data is considered a time-consuming process. In unsupervised mechanisms, a lexicon is constructed for storing polarity terms. The accuracy of analyzing data is considered moderate or low if the lexicon contains small terms. In addition, most research methodologies analyze datasets… More >

Abstract With the recent boom in the corpus size of sentiment analysis tasks, automatic annotation is poised to be a necessary alternative to manual annotation for generating ground truth dataset labels. This article aims to investigate and validate the performance of two widely used lexicon-based automatic annotation approaches, TextBlob and Valence Aware Dictionary and Sentiment Reasoner (VADER), by comparing them with manual annotation. The dataset of 5402 Arabic tweets was annotated manually, containing 3124 positive tweets, 1463 negative tweets, and 815 neutral tweets. The tweets were translated into English so that TextBlob and VADER could be used for their annotation. TextBlob… More >
