Abstract

The goal of this dissertation is to successfully predict a user’s numerical rating from its review text content. To do so, supervised machine learning techniques and more specifically text classification are used.&#13;Three distinct approaches are presented, namely binary classification, aiming at predicting the rating of a review as low or high, as well as multi-class classification and logistic regression whose aim is to predict the exact value of the rating for each review. Moreover, three different classifiers (Naïve Bayes, Support Vector Machine and Random Forest) are trained and tested on two different datasets from Amazon. These datasets are divided into two major categories: experience and search products and are characterized by an imbalanced distribution. We overcome this issue by applying sampling techniques to even out the class distributions. Eventually, the performance of those classifiers is tested and assessed thanks to accuracy metrics, including precision, recall and f1-score. &#13;Our results show that the two most successful classifiers are Naïve Bayes and SVM, with a slight advantage for the latter one for both datasets. Binary classification shows quite good results while making more precise predictions (i.e. scale from 1 to 5) is significantly a harder task. Nevertheless, these results are still acceptable.&#13;More practically, our approach enables users’ feedbacks to be automatically expressed on a numerical scale and therefore to ease the consumer decision process prior to making a purchase. This can in turn be extended to various other situations where no numerical rating system is available, for instance comments on YouTube or Twitter.

Abstract

Online reviews are becoming increasingly abundant, which makes them sometimes overwhelming for the users. To mitigate the problem of information overload, online retailers often proceed to display them according to their helpfulness to other users. In recent years, research has been aimed at finding efficient ways to automatically predict review helpfulness. This paper offers insight on both the most appropriate algorithm for the task of predicting review helpfulness in the specific context of class imbalance and high overlap of class features, and on the pre-processing techniques which can improve classifier performance in that context. To do so, it considers three classification algorithms: random forest, multinomial naive Bayes and linear support vector machine that uses stochastic gradient descent for learning.&#13;It shows that : (1) none of the considered algorithm exhibit satisfying performance when facing imbalanced datasets and similar class features; (2) the use of linguistic pre-processing techniques results in marginal or no improvement; (3) the use of frequency-based pre- processing yields moderate improvement; (4) re-sampling techniques are highly efficient, especially Synthetic Minority Over-sampling TEchnique (SMOTE); (5) Overall, random forest combined with SMOTE shows the best performance in terms of precision, recall and F1-score.

Abstract

New waves of discoveries and research in various fields have been possible thanks to machine learning. These algorithm-based learning methods allow the identification of information and trends from a large amount of data. Entrepreneurship can also benefit from this impetus to deepen its theories and knowledge about the path an entrepreneur follows. The aim of this dissertation is to participate in this movement on entrepreneurship using these new methods for the first time to profile entrepreneurs from their tweets.

Abstract

The current Special Issue launched with the aim of further enlightening important CH areas, inviting researchers to submit original/featured multidisciplinary research works related to heritage crowdsourcing, documentation, management, authoring, storytelling, and dissemination. Audience engagement is considered very important at both sites of the CH production–consumption chain (i.e., push and pull ends). At the same time, sustainability factors are placed at the center of the envisioned analysis. A total of eleven (11) contributions were finally published within this Special Issue, enlightening various aspects of contemporary heritage strategies placed in today’s ubiquitous society. The finally published papers are related but not limited to the following multidisciplinary topics:Digital storytelling for cultural heritage;Audience engagement in cultural heritage;Sustainability impact indicators of cultural heritage;Cultural heritage digitization, organization, and management;Collaborative cultural heritage archiving, dissemination, and management;Cultural heritage communication and education for sustainable development;Semantic services of cultural heritage;Big data of cultural heritage;Smart systems for Historical cities – smart cities;Smart systems for cultural heritage sustainability.

Abstract

The biennial Congress of the Italian Society of Oral Pathology and Medicine (SIPMO) is an International meeting dedicated to the growing diagnostic challenges in the oral pathology and medicine field. The III International and XV National edition will be a chance to discuss clinical conditions which are unusual, rare, or difficult to define. Many consolidated national and international research groups will be involved in the debate and discussion through special guest lecturers, academic dissertations, single clinical case presentations, posters, and degree thesis discussions. The SIPMO Congress took place from the 17th to the 19th of October 2019 in Bari (Italy), and the enclosed copy of Proceedings is a non-exhaustive collection of abstracts from the SIPMO 2019 contributions.

Abstract

The introduction of new topologies and training procedures to deep neural networks has solicited a renewed interest in the field of neural computation. The use of deep structures has significantly improved state-of-the-art applications in many fields, such as computer vision, speech and text processing, medical applications, and IoT (Internet of Things). The probability of a successful outcome from a neural network is linked to selection of an appropriate network architecture and training algorithm. Accordingly, much of the recent research on neural networks has been devoted to the study and proposal of novel architectures, including solutions tailored to specific problems. This book gives significant contributions to the above-mentioned fields by merging theoretical aspects and relevant applications.

Abstract

In recent years, the global climate has become variable due to intensification of the greenhouse effect, and natural disasters are frequently occurring, which poses challenges to the situation awareness of intelligent distribution networks. Aside from the continuous grid connection of distributed generation, energy storage and new energy generation not only reduces the power supply pressure of distribution network to a certain extent but also brings new consumption pressure and load impact. Situation awareness is a technology based on the overall dynamic insight of environment and covering perception, understanding, and prediction. Such means have been widely used in security, intelligence, justice, intelligent transportation, and other fields and gradually become the research direction of digitization and informatization in the future. We hope this Special Issue represents a useful contribution. We present 10 interesting papers that cover a wide range of topics all focused on problems and solutions related to situation awareness for smart distribution systems. We sincerely hope the papers included in this Special Issue will inspire more researchers to further develop situation awareness for smart distribution systems. We strongly believe that there is a need for more work to be carried out, and we hope this issue provides a useful open-access platform for the dissemination of new ideas.
