It is now widely accepted that ontologies play a critical role in achieving the goal of machine understandable web, also known as semantic web. In order to develop ontologies, several methodologies have been proposed during the last two decades. Despite the fact, that quite a number of ontology engineering methodologies have been proposed, still the field lacks widely accepted and mature methodologies. Most methodologies lack sufficient details of techniques and activities employed in them. However, some methodologies provide sufficient details including METHONTOLOGY. This article discusses and reports a critical analysis and comparison of these methodologies. The analysis is performed based on a criterion, derived from related literature, trends and needs which evolved over the years. The results of the analysis showed that there is no completely mature methodology. Therefore, this research may act as a preliminary guide to come with a state of art ontology engineering methodology, bridging up the existing gaps and shortfalls.
With the growth of Web 2.0, online communication and social networks are emerging. This alternation helps users to share their information and collaborate with each other easily. In addition, these internet services help establish new connections between persons or reinforce existing ones. However, they can also lead to misbehaviors or cyber criminal acts for example, cyberbullying. At the same time, it can make children and adolescents to use the technologies for the intention of harming another person. Due to the negative effect of cyberbullying, some techniques and methods are proposed to overcome this problem.This paper illustrates a survey covering some methods and challenges in cyberbullying. Next, we offer suggestions for continued research in this area.
Autonomous agents can negotiate on behalf of buyers and sellers to make a contract in the e-marketplace. In bilateral negotiation, they need to find a joint agreement by satisfying each other. That is, an agent should learn its opponent's preferences. However, the agent has limited time to find an agreement while trying to protect its payoffs by keeping its preferences private. In doing so, generating offers with incomplete information about the opponent's preferences is a complex process and, therefore, learning these preferences in a short time can assist the agent to generate proper offers. In this paper, we have developed an incremental on-line learning approach by using a hybrid soft-computing technique to learn the opponent's preferences. In our learning approach, first, the size of possible preferences is reduced by encoding the uncertain preferences into a series of fuzzy membership functions. Then, a simplified genetic algorithm is used to search the best fuzzy preferences that articulate the opponent's intention. Experimental results showed that our learning approach can estimate the opponent's preferences effectively. Moreover, results indicate that agents which use the proposed learning approach not only have more chances to reach agreements but also will be able to find agreements with greater joint utility.
In recent years, there has been a global growing demand for Islamic knowledge by both Muslims and non-Muslims. This has brought about a number of automated applications that ease the retrieval of knowledge from the Holy Book, being the major source of Knowledge in Islam. However, the current retrieval methods in the Quranic domain lack adequate semantic search capabilities; they are mostly based on the keywords matching approach. There is a lack of adequate linked data to provide a better description of concepts found in the Holy Quran. In this study we propose an Ontology assisted semantic search system in the Qur'an domain. The system makes use of Quran ontology and various relationships and restrictions. This will enable the user to semantically search for verses related to their query in Al-Quran. The system has improved the search capability of the Holy Quran knowledge to 95 percent accuracy level.
Nowadays, e-commerce is growing fast, so product reviews have grown rapidly on the web. The large number of reviews makes it difficult for manufacturers or businesses to automatically classify them into different semantic orientations (positive, negative, and neutral). Most existing method utilize a list of opinion words for sentiment classification. whereas, this paper propose a fuzzy logic model to perform semantic classifications of customers review into the following sub-classes: very weak, weak, moderate, very strong and strong by combinations adjective, adverb and verb to increase holistic the accuracy of lexicon approach. Fuzzy logic, unlike statistical data mining techniques, not only allows using nonnumerical values also introduces the notion of linguistic variables. Using linguistic terms and variables will result in a more human oriented querying process.
The most important task in aspect-based sentiment analysis (ABSA) is the aspect and sentiment word extraction. It is a challenge to identify and extract each aspect and it specific associated sentiment word correctly in the review sentence that consists of multiple aspects with various polarities expressed for multiple sentiments. By exploiting the dependency relation between words in a review, the multiple aspects and its corresponding sentiment can be identified. However, not all types of dependency relation patterns are able to extract candidate aspect and sentiment word pairs. In this paper, a preliminary study was performed on the performance of different type of dependency relation with different POS tag patterns in pre-extracting candidate aspect from customer review. The result contributes to the identification of the specific type dependency relation with it POS tag pattern that lead to high aspect extraction performance. The combination of these dependency relations offers a solution for single aspect single sentiment and multi aspect multi sentiment cases.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
