In this paper, we show how distributionally-induced semantic classes can be helpful for extracting hypernyms. We present methods for inducing sense-aware semantic classes using distributional semantics and using these induced semantic classes for filtering noisy hypernymy relations. Denoising of hypernyms is performed by labeling each semantic class with its hypernyms. On the one hand, this allows us to filter out wrong extractions using the global structure of distributionally similar senses. On the other hand, we infer missing hypernyms via label propagation to cluster terms. We conduct a large-scale crowdsourcing study showing that processing of automatically extracted hypernyms using our approach improves the quality of the hypernymy extraction in terms of both precision and recall. Furthermore, we show the utility of our method in the domain taxonomy induction task, achieving the state-of-the-art results on a SemEval'16 task on taxonomy induction.

The sarcasm detection with the method of logistic regressionEditorIJAERD
The prediction analysis is approach which may predict future possibilities. This research work is based on the
sarcasm detection from the text data. In the previous time SVM classification is applied for the sarcasm detection. The SVM
classifier classifies data based on the hyper plane which give low accuracy. To improve accuracy for sarcasm detection
logistic regression is applied during this work. The existing and proposed techniques are implemented in python and results
are analysed in terms of accuracy, execution time. The proposed approach has high accuracy and low execution time as
compared to SVM classifier for sarcasm detection.
A Framework for Arabic Concept-Level Sentiment Analysis using SenticNet IJECEIAES
Arabic Sentiment analysis research field has been progressing in a slow pace compared to English and other languages. In addition to that most of the contributions are based on using supervised machine learning algorithms while comparing the performance of different classifiers with different selected stylistic and syntactic features. In this paper, we presented a novel framework for using the Concept-level sentiment analysis approach which classifies text based on their semantics rather than syntactic features. Moreover, we provided a lexicon dataset of around 69 k unique concepts that covers multi-domain reviews collected from the internet. We also tested the lexicon on a test sample from the dataset it was collected from and obtained an accuracy of 70%. The lexicon has been made publicly available for scientific purposes.

Sentiment analysis is inevitable in current era. Internet is growing day-by-day. Now-a-days everything is online. We can shop, buy, and sell online. People can give feedbacks / opinions on the internet. Customers can compare among various products by analyzing the product reviews. As more and more people from different age groups and languages are becoming new internet users, we need it in regional languages. Till date most of the work related to sentiment analysis has been done in English language. But when it comes to Indian languages, not much research has done except for few languages. This paper mainly focuses on performing sentiment analysis in one of the Indian languages i.e. Marathi.

IDENTIFYING THE SEMANTIC RELATIONS ON UNSTRUCTURED DATAijistjournal
Ontologisms have been applied to many applications in recent years, especially on Sematic Web, Information Retrieval, Information Extraction, and Question and Answer. The purpose of domain-specific ontology is to get rid of conceptual and terminological confusion. It accomplishes this by specifying a set of generic concepts that characterizes the domain as well as their definitions and interrelationships. This paper will describe some algorithms for identifying semantic relations and constructing an Information Technology Ontology, while extracting the concepts and objects from different sources. The Ontology is constructed based on three main resources: ACM, Wikipedia and unstructured files from ACM Digital Library. Our algorithms are combined of Natural Language Processing and Machine Learning. We use Natural Language Processing tools, such as OpenNLP, Stanford Lexical Dependency Parser in order to explore sentences. We then extract these sentences based on English pattern in order to build training set. We use a random sample among 245 categories of ACM to evaluate our results. Results generated show that our system yields superior performance.

An Approach for Knowledge Extraction Using Ontology Construction and Machine ...Waqas Tariq
In recent research, Ontology construction plays a major role for transforming raw texts into useful knowledge. The proposed method supports efficient retrieval with the help of ontology and applies combined techniques to train the data before taking into testing process. The proposed approach used the phrase-pairs to extract useful knowledge and utilized data mining techniques and neural network approach to express the knowledge well and also it improves the search speed and accuracy of information retrieval. This method avoids noise generation by analyzing the relevancy of tags to the retrieval process and shows somewhat better recall value compared to other methods. In this approach an optimized reasoner applied to reduce complexity in the key inference problem. The formulated ontology can help clearly expressing its meaning for various concepts and relations. Due to the increasing size of ontology repository, the matching process may take more time. To avoid this, this method forms a hierarchical structure with semantic interpretation of data. The system designed to eliminate domain-dependency with the help of dynamic labeling scheme using ontology as a base. In this paper, our proposed models were presented with ontology description using Ontology Web Language (OWL).

For one dimensional homogeneous, isotropic aquifer, without accretion the governing Boussinesq
equation under Dupuit assumptions is a nonlinear partial differential equation. In the present paper
approximate analytical solution of nonlinear Boussinesq equation is obtained using Homotopy
perturbation transform method(HPTM). The solution is compared with the exact solution. The
comparison shows that the HPTM is efficient, accurate and reliable. The analysis of two important aquifer
parameters namely viz. specific yield and hydraulic conductivity is studied to see the effects on the height
of water table. The results resemble well with the physical phenomena.
FEATURE SELECTION AND CLASSIFICATION APPROACH FOR SENTIMENT ANALYSISmlaij
Sentiment analysis and Opinion mining has emerged as a popular and efficient technique for information retrieval and web data analysis. The exponential growth of the user generated content has opened new horizons for research in the field of sentiment analysis. This paper proposes a model for sentiment analysis of movie reviews using a combination of natural language processing and machine learning approaches. Firstly, different data pre-processing schemes are applied on the dataset. Secondly, the behaviour of twoclassifiers, Naive Bayes and SVM, is investigated in combination with different feature selection schemes to
obtain the results for sentiment analysis. Thirdly, the proposed model for sentiment analysis is extended to
obtain the results for higher order n-grams.
Nowadays Sentiment Analysis play an important Role in each field such as Stock market, product reviews, news article, political debates which help us to determining current trend in the market regarding specific product, event, issues. Here we are apply sentiment analysis on microblogging platforms such as twitter, Facebook which is used by different people to express their opinion with respect to different kind of foods in the field of home’schef. This paper explain different methods of text preprocessing and applies them with a naive Bayes classifier in a big data, distributed computing platform with the goal of creating a scalable sentiment analysis solution that can classify text into positive or negative categories. We apply negation handling, word n-grams, stemming, and feature selection to evaluate how different combinations of these pre-processing methods affect performance and efficiency.
SENTIMENT ANALYSIS OF MIXED CODE FOR THE TRANSLITERATED HINDI AND MARATHI TEXTSijnlc
The evolution of information Technology has led to the collection of large amount of data, the volume of
which has increased to the extent that in last two years the data produced is greater than all the data ever
recorded in human history. This has necessitated use of machines to understand, interpret and apply data,
without manual involvement. A lot of these texts are available in transliterated code-mixed form, which due
to the complexity are very difficult to analyze. The work already performed in this area is progressing at
great pace and this work hopes to be a way to push that work further. The designed system is an effort
which classifies Hindi as well as Marathi text transliterated (Romanized) documents automatically using
supervised learning methods (KNN), Naïve Bayes and Support Vector Machine (SVM)) and ontology based
classification; and results are compared to in order to decide which methodology is better suited in
handling of these documents. As we will see, the plain machine learning algorithm applications are just as
or in many cases are much better in performance than the more analytical approach.
Analysis of anaphora resolution system forijitjournal
Anaphora resolution is complex problem in linguistics and has attracted the attention of many researchers.
It is the problem of identifying referents in the discourse. Anaphora Resolution plays an important role in
Natural language processing task. This paper completely emphasis on pronominal anaphora resolution for
English Language in which pronouns refers to the intended noun in discourse. In this paper two
computational models are proposed for anaphora resolution. Resolution of anaphora is based on various
factors among which these models use Recency factor and Animistic Knowledge. Recency factor is
implemented by using Lappin Leass approach in first model and using Centering approach in second
model. Information about animacy is obtained by Gazetteer method. The identification of animistic
elements is employed to improve the accuracy of the system. This paper demonstrates experiment
conducted by both the models on different data sets from different domains. A comparative result of both
the model is summarized and conclusion is drawn for the best suitable model.

RAPID INDUCTION OF MULTIPLE TAXONOMIES FOR ENHANCED FACETED TEXT BROWSINGijaia
In this paper we present and compare two methodologies for rapidly inducing multiple subject-specific
taxonomies from crawled data. The first method involves a sentence-level words co-occurrence frequency
method for building the taxonomy, while the second involves the bootstrapping of a Word2Vec based
algorithm with a directed crawler. We exploit the multilingual open-content directory of the World Wide
Web, DMOZ1
to seed the crawl, and the domain name to direct the crawl. This domain corpus is then input
to our algorithm that can automatically induce taxonomies. The induced taxonomies provide hierarchical
semantic dimensions for the purposes of faceted browsing. As part of an ongoing personal semantics
project, we applied the resulting taxonomies to personal social media data (Twitter, Gmail, Facebook,
Instagram, Flickr) with an objective of enhancing an individual’s exploration of their personal information
through faceted searching. We also perform a comprehensive corpus based evaluation of the algorithms
based on many datasets drawn from the fields of medicine (diseases) and leisure (hobbies) and show that
the induced taxonomies are of high quality.
Natural Language Processing is a programmed approach to analyze text that is based on both a set of theories and a set of technologies. This forum aims to bring together researchers who have designed and build software that will analyze, understand, and generate languages that humans use naturally to address computers.
Individual Brain Charting, a high-resolution fMRI dataset for cognitive mappi...Ana Luísa Pinho
Linking brain systems and mental functions requires accurate descriptions of behavioral tasks and fine demarcations of brain regions. Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) has contributed to the investigation of brain regions involved in a variety of cognitive processes. However, to date, no data collection has systematically addressed the functional mapping of cognitive mechanisms at a fine spatial scale. The Individual Brain Charting (IBC) project stands for a high-resolution multi-task fMRI dataset that intends to provide the objective basis toward a comprehensive functional atlas of the human brain. The data refer to a permanent cohort performing many different tasks. The large amount of task-fMRI data on the same subjects yields a precise mapping of the underlying functions, free from both inter-subject and inter-site variability. The first release of the IBC dataset consists of data acquired from thirteen participants during performance of a dozen of tasks. Raw data from this release are publicly available in the OpenNeuro repository and derived statistical maps can be found in NeuroVault [1]. These maps reveal a successful cognitive encoding of many psychological domains in large areas of the human brain. Indeed, main findings of the original studies were replicated at higher resolution. Our results thus provide a comprehensive revision of the neural correlates underlying behavior, highlighting nonetheless the spatial variability of functional signatures between participants. In addition, this dataset supports investigations using alternative approaches to group-level analysis of task-specific studies. For instance, such rich task-wise dataset can be applied to mega-analytic encoding models towards the development of a brain-atlasing framework, by systematically mapping functional signatures associated with the cognitive components of the tasks.

Compound Noun Polysemy and Sense Enumeration in WordNet Biswanath Dutta
Sense enumeration in WordNet is one of the main reasons behind the problem of high polysemous nature of WordNet. The sense enumeration refers to misconstruction that results in wrong assigning of a synset to a term. In this paper, we propose a novel approach to discover and solve the problem of sense enumerations in compound noun polysemy in WordNet. The proposed solution reduces the number of sense enumerations in WordNet and thus its high polysemous nature without affecting its efficiency as a lexical resource for natural language processing.

Building a Web-Scale Dependency-Parsed Corpus from Common CrawlAlexander Panchenko
We present DepCC, the largest-to-date linguistically analyzed corpus in English including 365 million documents, composed of 252 billion tokens and 7.5 billion of named entity occurrences in 14.3 billion sentences from a web-scale crawl of the Common Crawl project. The sentences are processed with a dependency parser and with a named entity tagger and contain provenance information, enabling various applications ranging from training syntax-based word embeddings to open information extraction and question answering. We built an index of all sentences and their linguistic meta-data enabling quick search across the corpus. We demonstrate the utility of this corpus on the verb similarity task by showing that a distributional model trained on our corpus yields better results than models trained on smaller corpora, like Wikipedia. This distributional model outperforms the state of art models of verb similarity trained on smaller corpora on the SimVerb3500 dataset.

We present DepCC, the largest-to-date linguistically analyzed corpus in English including 365 million documents, composed of 252 billion tokens and 7.5 billion of named entity occurrences in 14.3 billion sentences from a web-scale crawl of the Common Crawl project. The sentences are processed with a dependency parser and with a named entity tagger and contain provenance information, enabling various applications ranging from training syntax-based word embeddings to open information extraction and question answering. We built an index of all sentences and their linguistic meta-data enabling quick search across the corpus. We demonstrate the utility of this corpus on the verb similarity task by showing that a distributional model trained on our corpus yields better results than models trained on smaller corpora, like Wikipedia. This distributional model outperforms the state of art models of verb similarity trained on smaller corpora on the SimVerb3500 dataset.

Inducing Interpretable Word Senses for WSD and Enrichment of Lexical ResourcesAlexander Panchenko
In this talk, we will discuss induction of sparse and dense
word sense representations using graph-based approaches and
distributional models. Induced senses are represented by a vector, but
also a set of hypernyms, images, and usage examples, derived in an
unsupervised and knowledge-free manner, which ensure interpretability
of the discovered senses by humans. We showcase the usage of the
induced representations for the tasks of word sense disambiguation and
enrichment of lexical resources, such as WordNet.

Using Linked Disambiguated Distributional Networks for Word Sense DisambiguationAlexander Panchenko
We introduce a new method for unsupervised knowledge-based word sense disambiguation (WSD) based on a resource that links two types of sense-aware lexical networks: one is induced from a corpus using distributional semantics, the other is manually constructed. The combination of two networks reduces the sparsity of sense representations used for WSD. We evaluate these enriched representations within two lexical sample sense disambiguation benchmarks. Our results indicate that (1) features extracted from the corpus-based resource help to significantly outperform a model based solely on the lexical resource; (2) our method achieves results comparable or better to four state-of-the-art unsupervised knowledge-based WSD systems including three hybrid systems that also rely on text corpora. In contrast to these hybrid methods, our approach does not require access to web search engines, texts mapped to a sense inventory, or machine translation systems.

Unsupervised Does Not Mean Uninterpretable: The Case for Word Sense Induction...Alexander Panchenko
The current trend in NLP is the use of highly opaque models, e.g. neural networks and word embeddings. While these models yield state-of-the-art results on a range of tasks, their drawback is
poor interpretability. On the example of word sense induction and disambiguation (WSID), we show that it is possible to develop an interpretable model that matches the state-of-the-art models in accuracy. Namely, we present an unsupervised, knowledge-free WSID approach, which is interpretable at three levels: word sense inventory, sense feature representations, and disambiguation procedure. Experiments show that our model performs on par with state-of-the-art word sense embeddings and other unsupervised systems while offering the possibility to justify
its decisions in human-readable form.
Noun Sense Induction and Disambiguation using Graph-Based Distributional Sema...Alexander Panchenko
We introduce an approach to word sense
induction and disambiguation. The method
is unsupervised and knowledge-free: sense
representations are learned from distributional
evidence and subsequently used to
disambiguate word instances in context.
These sense representations are obtained
by clustering dependency-based secondorder
similarity networks. We then add
features for disambiguation from heterogeneous
sources such as window-based and
sentence-wide co-occurrences, and explore
various schemes to combine these context
clues. Our method reaches a performance
comparable to the state-of-the-art unsupervised
word sense disambiguation systems
including top participants of the SemEval
2013 word sense induction task and two
more recent state-of-the-art neural word
sense induction systems

A sentiment index measures the average emotional level in a corpus. We introduce four such indexes and use them to gauge average “positiveness” of a population during some period based on posts in a social network. This article for the first time presents a text-, rather than word-based sentiment index. Furthermore, this study presents the first large-scale study of the sentiment index of the Russian-speaking Facebook. Our results are consistent with the prior experiments for English language.
Semantic relations, such as synonyms, hypernyms and co-hyponyms proved to be useful for text processing applications, including text similarity, query expansion, question answering and word sense disambiguation. Such relations are practical because of the gap between lexical surface of the text and its meaning. Indeed, the same concept is often represented by different terms. However, existing resources often do not cover a vocabulary required by a given system. Manual resource construction is prohibitively expensive for many projects.
On the other hand, precision of the existing extractors still do not meet quality of the handcrafted resources. All these factors motivate the development of novel extraction methods. In this work we developed several similarity measures for semantic relation extraction. The main research question we address, is how to improve precision and coverage of such measures. First, we perform a large-scale study the baseline techniques. Second, we propose four novel measures. One of them significantly outperforms the baselines, the others perform comparably to the state-of-the-art techniques. Finally, we successfully apply one of the novel measures in two text processing systems.
Detecting Gender by Full Name: Experiments with the Russian LanguageAlexander Panchenko
This paper describes a method that detects gender of a person by his/her full name. While some approaches were proposed for English language, little has been done so far for Russian. We fill this gap and present a large-scale experiment on a dataset of 100,000 Russian full names from Facebook. Our method is based on three types of features (word endings, character $n$-grams and dictionary of names) combined within a linear supervised model. Experiments show that the proposed simple and computationally efficient approach yields excellent results achieving accuracy up to 96\%.

Richard's aventures in two entangled wonderlandsRichard Gill
Since the loophole-free Bell experiments of 2020 and the Nobel prizes in physics of 2022, critics of Bell's work have retreated to the fortress of super-determinism. Now, super-determinism is a derogatory word - it just means "determinism". Palmer, Hance and Hossenfelder argue that quantum mechanics and determinism are not incompatible, using a sophisticated mathematical construction based on a subtle thinning of allowed states and measurements in quantum mechanics, such that what is left appears to make Bell's argument fail, without altering the empirical predictions of quantum mechanics. I think however that it is a smoke screen, and the slogan "lost in math" comes to my mind. I will discuss some other recent disproofs of Bell's theorem using the language of causality based on causal graphs. Causal thinking is also central to law and justice. I will mention surprising connections to my work on serial killer nurse cases, in particular the Dutch case of Lucia de Berk and the current UK case of Lucy Letby.
Deep Behavioral Phenotyping in Systems Neuroscience for Functional Atlasing a...Ana Luísa Pinho
Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) provides means to characterize brain activations in response to behavior. However, cognitive neuroscience has been limited to group-level effects referring to the performance of specific tasks. To obtain the functional profile of elementary cognitive mechanisms, the combination of brain responses to many tasks is required. Yet, to date, both structural atlases and parcellation-based activations do not fully account for cognitive function and still present several limitations. Further, they do not adapt overall to individual characteristics. In this talk, I will give an account of deep-behavioral phenotyping strategies, namely data-driven methods in large task-fMRI datasets, to optimize functional brain-data collection and improve inference of effects-of-interest related to mental processes. Key to this approach is the employment of fast multi-functional paradigms rich on features that can be well parametrized and, consequently, facilitate the creation of psycho-physiological constructs to be modelled with imaging data. Particular emphasis will be given to music stimuli when studying high-order cognitive mechanisms, due to their ecological nature and quality to enable complex behavior compounded by discrete entities. I will also discuss how deep-behavioral phenotyping and individualized models applied to neuroimaging data can better account for the subject-specific organization of domain-general cognitive systems in the human brain. Finally, the accumulation of functional brain signatures brings the possibility to clarify relationships among tasks and create a univocal link between brain systems and mental functions through: (1) the development of ontologies proposing an organization of cognitive processes; and (2) brain-network taxonomies describing functional specialization. To this end, tools to improve commensurability in cognitive science are necessary, such as public repositories, ontology-based platforms and automated meta-analysis tools. I will thus discuss some brain-atlasing resources currently under development, and their applicability in cognitive as well as clinical neuroscience.
Earliest Galaxies in the JADES Origins Field: Luminosity Function and Cosmic ...Sérgio Sacani
We characterize the earliest galaxy population in the JADES Origins Field (JOF), the deepest
imaging field observed with JWST. We make use of the ancillary Hubble optical images (5 filters
spanning 0.4−0.9µm) and novel JWST images with 14 filters spanning 0.8−5µm, including 7 mediumband filters, and reaching total exposure times of up to 46 hours per filter. We combine all our data
at > 2.3µm to construct an ultradeep image, reaching as deep as ≈ 31.4 AB mag in the stack and
30.3-31.0 AB mag (5σ, r = 0.1” circular aperture) in individual filters. We measure photometric
redshifts and use robust selection criteria to identify a sample of eight galaxy candidates at redshifts
z = 11.5 − 15. These objects show compact half-light radii of R1/2 ∼ 50 − 200pc, stellar masses of
M⋆ ∼ 107−108M⊙, and star-formation rates of SFR ∼ 0.1−1 M⊙ yr−1
. Our search finds no candidates
at 15 < z < 20, placing upper limits at these redshifts. We develop a forward modeling approach to
infer the properties of the evolving luminosity function without binning in redshift or luminosity that
marginalizes over the photometric redshift uncertainty of our candidate galaxies and incorporates the
impact of non-detections. We find a z = 12 luminosity function in good agreement with prior results,
and that the luminosity function normalization and UV luminosity density decline by a factor of ∼ 2.5
from z = 12 to z = 14. We discuss the possible implications of our results in the context of theoretical
models for evolution of the dark matter halo mass function.

Phenomics assisted breeding in crop improvementIshaGoswami9
As the population is increasing and will reach about 9 billion upto 2050. Also due to climate change, it is difficult to meet the food requirement of such a large population. Facing the challenges presented by resource shortages, climate
change, and increasing global population, crop yield and quality need to be improved in a sustainable way over the coming decades. Genetic improvement by breeding is the best way to increase crop productivity. With the rapid progression of functional
genomics, an increasing number of crop genomes have been sequenced and dozens of genes influencing key agronomic traits have been identified. However, current genome sequence information has not been adequately exploited for understanding
the complex characteristics of multiple gene, owing to a lack of crop phenotypic data. Efficient, automatic, and accurate technologies and platforms that can capture phenotypic data that can
be linked to genomics information for crop improvement at all growth stages have become as important as genotyping. Thus,
high-throughput phenotyping has become the major bottleneck restricting crop breeding. Plant phenomics has been defined as the high-throughput, accurate acquisition and analysis of multi-dimensional phenotypes
during crop growing stages at the organism level, including the cell, tissue, organ, individual plant, plot, and field levels. With the rapid development of novel sensors, imaging technology,
and analysis methods, numerous infrastructure platforms have been developed for phenotyping.
This presentation explores a brief idea about the structural and functional attributes of nucleotides, the structure and function of genetic materials along with the impact of UV rays and pH upon them.

Further driving market expansion are product formulation innovations and the use of cutting-edge technology for customized nutrition. With its worldwide reach, the nutraceutical industry is expected to keep growing and provide significant chances for research and investment in a number of categories, including vitamins, minerals, probiotics, and herbal supplements.
Observation of Io’s Resurfacing via Plume Deposition Using Ground-based Adapt...Sérgio Sacani
Since volcanic activity was first discovered on Io from Voyager images in 1979, changes
on Io’s surface have been monitored from both spacecraft and ground-based telescopes.
Here, we present the highest spatial resolution images of Io ever obtained from a groundbased telescope. These images, acquired by the SHARK-VIS instrument on the Large
Binocular Telescope, show evidence of a major resurfacing event on Io’s trailing hemisphere. When compared to the most recent spacecraft images, the SHARK-VIS images
show that a plume deposit from a powerful eruption at Pillan Patera has covered part
of the long-lived Pele plume deposit. Although this type of resurfacing event may be common on Io, few have been detected due to the rarity of spacecraft visits and the previously low spatial resolution available from Earth-based telescopes. The SHARK-VIS instrument ushers in a new era of high resolution imaging of Io’s surface using adaptive
optics at visible wavelengths.

DERIVATION OF MODIFIED BERNOULLI EQUATION WITH VISCOUS EFFECTS AND TERMINAL V...Wasswaderrick3
In this book, we use conservation of energy techniques on a fluid element to derive the Modified Bernoulli equation of flow with viscous or friction effects. We derive the general equation of flow/ velocity and then from this we derive the Pouiselle flow equation, the transition flow equation and the turbulent flow equation. In the situations where there are no viscous effects , the equation reduces to the Bernoulli equation. From experimental results, we are able to include other terms in the Bernoulli equation. We also look at cases where pressure gradients exist. We use the Modified Bernoulli equation to derive equations of flow rate for pipes of different cross sectional areas connected together. We also extend our techniques of energy conservation to a sphere falling in a viscous medium under the effect of gravity. We demonstrate Stokes equation of terminal velocity and turbulent flow equation. We look at a way of calculating the time taken for a body to fall in a viscous medium. We also look at the general equation of terminal velocity.
