Text And Data Mining

The paper focuses on the current legal barriers to text and data mining (TDM) in the context of smart disclosure systems (SDSs) whose aim is to provide consumers with improved access to the data needed to make informed decisions. The use of intellectual property rights and contracts, combined with technological protection measures, can hinder TDM and the deployment of SDSs.Further, those legal constraints can negatively impact artificial intelligence innovation that requires improved access to data. There are thus various arguments for enhanced “machine legibility”.However, the TDM exception included in the draft Copyright in the DSM Directive and the various amendments proposed by the European Parliament or the Council do not appear to clear the way for enhanced “machine legibility”. In relation to SDSs, we also argue that the principle of transparency, embedded in consumer and data protection laws, can serve as a last line of defence against prohibition of TDM.

Access To Data

Data is the core of Internet-based business models. Ever since Facebook took over WhatsApp, European antitrust law has been faced with the question of how to deal with mergers, especially those involving the well-known Internet giants ("FANG"). Under what circumstances can market power be based as a prohibition criterion on the possession of and access to data? What competitive effects of data-based market power are to be feared in horizontal, vertical and conglomerate mergers? How can any commitments remedy this form of market power? The work takes into account technical developments such as artificial intelligence as well as data protection aspects.

Text And Data Mining

  In 2015, authors wondered if Europe was falling behind in the artificial intelligence (AI) race because of the lack of a text and data mining (TDM) exception. What can then be said for South America? Copyright regimes and their interaction with the development of digital technologies in this continent have been overlooked by authors. This paper intends to start filling this gap by mapping the current state of copyright exceptions that serve computational analysis in South America. After reviewing the copyright regimes of the five largest economies of the region (i.e. Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia and Peru), I concluded that they are not prepared for digital research techniques such as text and data mining. Researchers in these countries are at a competitive disadvantage, as rigid and outdated copyright regimes act as a constraint against keeping pace with the latest developments in subsequent years. If policymakers want to develop their nations’ AI capabilities, as many governments and international organizations claim they do, they will need to look for a more flexible and enabling approach to copyright.

In order to improve the efficiency of sentiment analysis of students in ideological and political classrooms, under the guidance of artificial intelligence ideas, this paper combines data mining and machine learning algorithms to improve and propose a method for quantifying the semantic ambiguity of sentiment words. Moreover, this paper designs different quantitative calculation methods of sentiment polarity intensity, and constructs video image sentiment recognition, text sentiment recognition, and speech sentiment recognition functional modules to obtain a combined sentiment recognition model. In addition, this article studies student emotions in ideological and political classrooms from the perspective of multimodal transfer learning, and optimizes the deep representation of images and texts and their corresponding deep networks through single-depth discriminative correlation analysis. Finally, this paper designs experiments to verify the model effect from two perspectives of single factor sentiment analysis and multi-factor sentiment analysis. The research results show that comprehensive analysis of multiple factors can effectively improve the effect of sentiment analysis of students in ideological and political classrooms, and enhance the effect of ideological and political classroom teaching.

Decision Tree Classification

The wide application of artificial intelligence technology in various fields has accelerated the pace of people exploring the hidden information behind large amounts of data. People hope to use data mining methods to conduct effective research on higher education management, and decision tree classification algorithm as a data analysis method in data mining technology, high-precision classification accuracy, intuitive decision results, and high generalization ability make it become a more ideal method of higher education management. Aiming at the sensitivity of data processing and decision tree classification to noisy data, this paper proposes corresponding improvements, and proposes a variable precision rough set attribute selection standard based on scale function, which considers both the weighted approximation accuracy and attribute value of the attribute. The number improves the anti-interference ability of noise data, reduces the bias in attribute selection, and improves the classification accuracy. At the same time, the suppression factor threshold, support and confidence are introduced in the tree pre-pruning process, which simplifies the tree structure. The comparative experiments on standard data sets show that the improved algorithm proposed in this paper is better than other decision tree algorithms and can effectively realize the differentiated classification of higher education management.
