Source Of Information

Background: The App Stores, for example, Google Play and Apple Play Store provide a platform that allows users to provide feedback on the apps in the form of reviews. An app review typically includes star rating followed by a comment. Recent studies have shown that these reviews possess a vital source of information that can be used by the app developers and the vendors for improving the future versions of an app. However, in most of the cases, these reviews are present in the unstructured form and extracting useful information from them requires a great effort. Objective: This article provides an optimized classification approach that automatically classifies the reviews into a bug report, feature request, and shortcoming & improvement request relevant to Requirement Engineering. Method: Our methodology merges three techniques, namely (1) Text Analysis, (2) Natural Language Processing, and (3) Sentiment Analysis to extract features set, which is then used to automatically classify app reviews into their relevant categories. Results: Result shows that we achieved best results with precision of 67.8 % and recall of 41.5 % with Logistic Regression Machine Learning technique, which we further optimized with PSO nature-inspired algorithm, i.e., with Logistic Regression + PSO, thus, resulting in a precision of 74.4 % and recall of 45.0 %. Conclusion: This optimized automatic classification improves the Requirement Engineering where developer straightforwardly knows what to improve further in the concerned app.

Abstract To maintain the competitive edge and evaluating the needs of the quality app is in the mobile application market. The user’s feedback on these applications plays an essential role in the mobile application development industry. The rapid growth of web technology gave people an opportunity to interact and express their review, rate and share their feedback about applications. In this paper we have scrapped 506259 of user reviews and applications rate from Google Play Store from 14 different categories. The statistical information was measured in the results using different of common machine learning algorithms such as the Logistic Regression, Random Forest Classifier, and Multinomial Naïve Bayes. Different parameters including the accuracy, precision, recall, and F1 score were used to evaluate Bigram, Trigram, and N-gram, and the statistical result of these algorithms was compared. The analysis of each algorithm, one by one, is performed, and the result has been evaluated. It is concluded that logistic regression is the best algorithm for review analysis of the Google Play Store applications. The results have been checked scientifically, and it is found that the accuracy of the logistic regression algorithm for analyzing different reviews based on three classes, i.e., positive, negative, and neutral.

The system's functional requirements (FR) and non-functional requirements (NFR) are derived from the software requirements specification (SRS). The requirement specification is challenging in classification process of FR and NFR requirements. To overcome these issues, the work contains various significant contributions towards SRS, such as green requirements engineering (GRE), to achieve the natural language processing, requirement specification, extraction, classification, requirement specification, feature selection, and testing the quality attributes improvement of NFRs. In addition to this, the test pad-based quality study to determine accuracy, quality, and condition providence to the classification of non-functional requirements (NFR) is also carried out. The resulted classification accuracy was implemented in the MATLAB R2014; the resulted graphical record shows the efficient non-functional requirements (NFR) classification with green requirements engineering (GRE) framework.

Abstract Background Recent advances in representation learning have enabled large strides in natural language understanding; However, verbal reasoning remains a challenge for state-of-the-art systems. External sources of structured, expert-curated verb-related knowledge have been shown to boost model performance in different Natural Language Processing (NLP) tasks where accurate handling of verb meaning and behaviour is critical. The costliness and time required for manual lexicon construction has been a major obstacle to porting the benefits of such resources to NLP in specialised domains, such as biomedicine. To address this issue, we combine a neural classification method with expert annotation to create BioVerbNet. This new resource comprises 693 verbs assigned to 22 top-level and 117 fine-grained semantic-syntactic verb classes. We make this resource available complete with semantic roles and VerbNet-style syntactic frames. Results We demonstrate the utility of the new resource in boosting model performance in document- and sentence-level classification in biomedicine. We apply an established retrofitting method to harness the verb class membership knowledge from BioVerbNet and transform a pretrained word embedding space by pulling together verbs belonging to the same semantic-syntactic class. The BioVerbNet knowledge-aware embeddings surpass the non-specialised baseline by a significant margin on both tasks. Conclusion This work introduces the first large, annotated semantic-syntactic classification of biomedical verbs, providing a detailed account of the annotation process, the key differences in verb behaviour between the general and biomedical domain, and the design choices made to accurately capture the meaning and properties of verbs used in biomedical texts. The demonstrated benefits of leveraging BioVerbNet in text classification suggest the resource could help systems better tackle challenging NLP tasks in biomedicine.

3044 Background: Epigenomics assays have recently become popular tools for identification of molecular biomarkers, both in tissue and in plasma. In particular 5-hydroxymethyl-cytosine (5hmC) method, has been shown to enable the epigenomic regulation of gene expression and subsequent gene activity, with different patterns, across several tumor and normal tissues types. In this study we show that 5hmC profiles enable discrete classification of tumor and normal tissue for breast, colorectal, lung ovary and pancreas. Such classification was also recapitulated in cfDNA from patient with breast, colorectal, lung, ovarian and pancreatic cancers. Methods: DNA was isolated from 176 fresh frozen tissues from breast, colorectal, lung, ovary and pancreas (44 per tumor per tissue type and up to 11 tumor tissues for each stage (I-IV)) and up to 10 normal tissues per tissue type. cfDNA was isolated from plasma from 783 non-cancer individuals and 569 cancer patients. Plasma-isolated cfDNA and tumor genomic DNA, were enriched for the 5hmC fraction using chemical labelling, sequenced, and aligned to a reference genome to construct features sets of 5hmC patterns. Results: 5hmC multinomial logistic regression analysis was employed across tumor and normal tissues and identified a set of specific and discrete tumor and normal tissue gene-based features. This indicates that we can classify samples regardless of source, with a high degree of accuracy, based on tissue of origin and also distinguish between normal and tumor status.Next, we employed a stacked ensemble machine learning algorithm combining multiple logistic regression models across diverse feature sets to the cfDNA dataset composed of 783 non cancers and 569 cancers comprising 67 breast, 118 colorectal, 210 Lung, 71 ovarian and 100 pancreatic cancers. We identified a genomic signature that enable the classification of non-cancer versus cancers with an outer fold cross validation sensitivity of 49% (CI 45%-53%) at 99% specificity. Further, individual cancer outer fold cross validation sensitivity at 99% specificity, was measured as follows: breast 30% (CI 119% -42%); colorectal 41% (CI 32%-50%); lung 49% (CI 42%-56%); ovarian 72% (CI 60-82%); pancreatic 56% (CI 46%-66%). Conclusions: This study demonstrates that 5hmC profiles can distinguish cancer and normal tissues based on their origin. Further, 5hmC changes in cfDNA enables detection of the several cancer types: breast, colorectal, lung, ovarian and pancreatic cancers. Our technology provides a non-invasive tool for cancer detection with low risk sample collection enabling improved compliance than current screening methods. Among other utilities, we believe our technology could be applied to asymptomatic high-risk individuals thus enabling enrichment for those subjects that most need a diagnostic imaging follow up.

In recent years, gene selection for cancer classification based on the expression of a small number of gene biomarkers has been the subject of much research in genetics and molecular biology. The successful identification of gene biomarkers will help in the classification of different types of cancer and improve the prediction accuracy. Recently, regularized logistic regression using the L 1 regularization has been successfully applied in high-dimensional cancer classification to tackle both the estimation of gene coefficients and the simultaneous performance of gene selection. However, the L 1 has a biased gene selection and dose not have the oracle property. To address these problems, we investigate L 1 / 2 regularized logistic regression for gene selection in cancer classification. Experimental results on three DNA microarray datasets demonstrate that our proposed method outperforms other commonly used sparse methods ( L 1 and L E N ) in terms of classification performance.

SummaryObjective: To describe and compare logistic regression and neural network modeling strategies to predict hospital admission or transfer following initial presentation to Emergency Department (ED) triage with and without the addition of natural language processing elements.Methods: Using data from the National Hospital Ambulatory Medical Care Survey (NHAMCS), a cross-sectional probability sample of United States EDs from 2012 and 2013 survey years, we developed several predictive models with the outcome being admission to the hospital or transfer vs. discharge home. We included patient characteristics immediately available after the patient has presented to the ED and undergone a triage process. We used this information to construct logistic regression (LR) and multilayer neural network models (MLNN) which included natural language processing (NLP) and principal component analysis from the patient’s reason for visit. Ten-fold cross validation was used to test the predictive capacity of each model and receiver operating curves (AUC) were then calculated for each model.Results: Of the 47,200 ED visits from 642 hospitals, 6,335 (13.42%) resulted in hospital admission (or transfer). A total of 48 principal components were extracted by NLP from the reason for visit fields, which explained 75% of the overall variance for hospitalization. In the model including only structured variables, the AUC was 0.824 (95% CI 0.818-0.830) for logistic regression and 0.823 (95% CI 0.817-0.829) for MLNN. Models including only free-text information generated AUC of 0.742 (95% CI 0.7310.753) for logistic regression and 0.753 (95% CI 0.742-0.764) for MLNN. When both structured variables and free text variables were included, the AUC reached 0.846 (95% CI 0.839-0.853) for logistic regression and 0.844 (95% CI 0.836-0.852) for MLNN.Conclusions: The predictive accuracy of hospital admission or transfer for patients who presented to ED triage overall was good, and was improved with the inclusion of free text data from a patient’s reason for visit regardless of modeling approach. Natural language processing and neural networks that incorporate patient-reported outcome free text may increase predictive accuracy for hospital admission.

 Abstract— Detection of fake review and reviewers is currently a challenging problem in cyber space. It is challenging primarily due to the dynamic nature of the methodology used to fake the review. There are several aspects to be considered when analyzing reviews to classify them effective into genuine and fake. Sentiment analysis, opinion mining and intend mining are fields of research that try to accomplish the goal through Natural Language Processing of the text content of the review.  In this paper, an approach that uses the review ratings evaluated along a timeline is presented. An Amazon dataset comprising of ratings indicated for a wide range of products was used for the analysis presented here. The analysis of the ratings was carried out for an electronic product over a period of six years.  The computed average rating helps to identify linear classifiers that define solution boundaries within the dataspace. This enables a product specific classification of review ratings and suitable recommendations can also be generated automatically. The paper explains a methodology to evaluate the average product ratings over time and presents the research outcomes using a novel classification tool. The proposed approach helps to determine the optimal point to distinguish between fake and genuine ratings for each product.    Index Terms: Fake reviews, Fake Ratings, Product Ratings, Online Shopping, Amazon Dataset.
