With advances in machine learning, natural language processing, processing speed, and amount of data storage, conversational agents are being used in applications that were not possible to perform within a few years. NELL, a machine learning agent who learns to read the web, today has a considerably large ontology and while it can be used for multiple fact queries, it is also possible to expand it further and specialize its knowledge. One of the first steps to succeed is to refine existing knowledge in NELL’s knowledge base so that future communication between it and humans is as natural as possible. This work describes the results of an experiment where we investigate which machine learning algorithm performs best in the task of classifying candidate words to subcategories in the NELL knowledge base.

BACKGROUND This article presents the modeling and development of a Knowledge Based System, supported by the use of a virtual conversational agent called Dóris. Using natural language processing resources, Dóris collects the clinical data of patients in care in the context of urgency and hospital emergency. OBJECTIVE The main objective is to validate the use of virtual conversational agents to properly and accurately collect the data necessary to perform the evaluation flowcharts used to classify the degree of urgency of patients and determine the priority for medical care. METHODS The agent's knowledge base was modeled using the rules provided for in the evaluation flowcharts comprised by the Manchester Triage System. It also allows the establishment of a simple, objective and complete communication, through dialogues to assess signs and symptoms that obey the criteria established by a standardized, validated and internationally recognized system. RESULTS Thus, in addition to verifying the applicability of Artificial Intelligence techniques in a complex domain of health care, a tool is presented that helps not only in the perspective of improving organizational processes, but also in improving human relationships, bringing professionals and patients closer. The system's knowledge base was modeled on the IBM Watson platform. CONCLUSIONS The results obtained from simulations carried out by the human specialist allowed us to verify that a knowledge-based system supported by a virtual conversational agent is feasible for the domain of risk classification and priority determination of medical care for patients in the context of emergency care and hospital emergency.


A large volume of datasets is available in various fields that are stored to be somewhere which is called big data. Big Data healthcare has clinical data set of every patient records in huge amount and they are maintained by Electronic Health Records (EHR). More than 80 % of clinical data is the unstructured format and reposit in hundreds of forms. The challenges and demand for data storage, analysis is to handling large datasets in terms of efficiency and scalability. Hadoop Map reduces framework uses big data to store and operate any kinds of data speedily. It is not solely meant for storage system however conjointly a platform for information storage moreover as processing. It is scalable and fault-tolerant to the systems. Also, the prediction of the data sets is handled by machine learning algorithm. This work focuses on the Extreme Machine Learning algorithm (ELM) that can utilize the optimized way of finding a solution to find disease risk prediction by combining ELM with Cuckoo Search optimization-based Support Vector Machine (CS-SVM). The proposed work also considers the scalability and accuracy of big data models, thus the proposed algorithm greatly achieves the computing work and got good results in performance of both veracity and efficiency.

Author's age prediction is the task of determining the author's age by studying the texts written by them. The prediction of author’s age can be enlightening about the different trends, opinions social and political views of an age group. Marketers always use this to encourage a product or a service to an age group following their conveyed interests and opinions. Methodologies in natural language processing have made it possible to predict author’s age from text by examining the variation of linguistic characteristics. Also, many machine learning algorithms have been used in author’s age prediction. However, in social networks, computational linguists are challenged with numerous issues just as machine learning techniques are performance driven with its own challenges in realistic scenarios. This work developed a model that can predict author's age from text with a machine learning algorithm (Naïve Bayes) using three types of features namely, content based, style based and topic based. The trained model gave a prediction accuracy of 80%.

Cognitive knowledge learning (CKL) is a fundamental methodology for cognitive robots and machine learning. Traditional technologies for machine learning deal with object identification, cluster classification, pattern recognition, functional regression and behavior acquisition. A new category of CKL is presented in this paper embodied by the Algorithm of Cognitive Concept Elicitation (ACCE). Formal concepts are autonomously generated based on collective intension (attributes) and extension (objects) elicited from informal descriptions in dictionaries. A system of formal concept generation by cognitive robots is implemented based on the ACCE algorithm. Experiments on machine learning for knowledge acquisition reveal that a cognitive robot is able to learn synergized concepts in human knowledge in order to build its own knowledge base. The machine–generated knowledge base demonstrates that the ACCE algorithm can outperform human knowledge expressions in terms of relevance, accuracy, quantification and cohesiveness.

AbstractWord embedding, which represents individual words with semantically fixed-length vectors, has made it possible to successfully apply deep learning to natural language processing tasks such as semantic role-modeling, question answering, and machine translation. As math text consists of natural text, as well as math expressions that similarly exhibit linear correlation and contextual characteristics, word embedding techniques can also be applied to math documents. However, while mathematics is a precise and accurate science, it is usually expressed through imprecise and less accurate descriptions, contributing to the relative dearth of machine learning applications for information retrieval in this domain. Generally, mathematical documents communicate their knowledge with an ambiguous, context-dependent, and non-formal language. Given recent advances in word embedding, it is worthwhile to explore their use and effectiveness in math information retrieval tasks, such as math language processing and semantic knowledge extraction. In this paper, we explore math embedding by testing it on several different scenarios, namely, (1) math-term similarity, (2) analogy, (3) numerical concept-modeling based on the centroid of the keywords that characterize a concept, (4) math search using query expansions, and (5) semantic extraction, i.e., extracting descriptive phrases for math expressions. Due to the lack of benchmarks, our investigations were performed using the arXiv collection of STEM documents and carefully selected illustrations on the Digital Library of Mathematical Functions (DLMF: NIST digital library of mathematical functions. Release 1.0.20 of 2018-09-1, 2018). Our results show that math embedding holds much promise for similarity, analogy, and search tasks. However, we also observed the need for more robust math embedding approaches. Moreover, we explore and discuss fundamental issues that we believe thwart the progress in mathematical information retrieval in the direction of machine learning.

Today, images are a part of communication between people. However, images are being used to share information by hiding and embedding messages within it, and images that are received through social media or emails can contain harmful content that users are not able to see and therefore not aware of. This paper presents a model for detecting spam on images. The model is a combination of optical character recognition, natural language processing, and the machine learning algorithm. Optical character recognition extracts the text from images, and natural language processing uses linguistics capabilities to detect and classify the language, to distinguish between normal text and slang language. The features for selected images are then extracted using the bag-of-words model, and the machine learning algorithm is run to detect any kind of spam that may be on it. Finally, the model can predict whether or not the image contains any harmful content. The results show that the proposed method using a combination of the machine learning algorithm, optical character recognition, and natural language processing provides high detection accuracy compared to using machine learning alone.

INTRODUCTION Opinion analysis in the big data analysis context has been a hot topic in science and the business world recently. Social media has become a key data source for opinions generating a large amount of data every day providing content for further analysis. In the Big data age, unstructured data classification is one of the key tools for fast and reliable content analysis. I expect significant growth in the demand for content classification services in the nearest future. There are many online text classification tools available providing limited functionality -such as automated text classification in predefined categories and sentiment analysis based on a pre-trained machine learning algorithm. The limited functionality does not provide tools such as data mining support and/or a machine learning algorithm training interface. There are a limited number of tools available providing the whole sets of tools required for text classification, i.e. this includes all the steps starting from data mining till building a machine learning algorithm and applying it to a data stream from a social network source. My goal is to create a tool able to generate a classified text stream directly from social media with a user friendly set-up interface. METHODS AND MATERIALS The text classification tool will have a core based modular structure (each module providing certain functionality) so the system can be scaled in terms of technology and functionality. The tool will be built on open source libraries and programming languages running on a Linux OS based server. The tool will be based on three key components: frontend, backend and data storage as described below: backend: Python and Nodejs programming language with machine learning and text filtering libraries: TensorFlow, and Keras, for data storage Mysql 5.7/8 will be used, frontend will be based on web technologies built using PHP and Javascript. EXPECTED RESULTS The expected result of my work is a web-based text classification tool for opinion analysis using data streams from social media. The tool will provide a user friendly interface for data collection, algorithm selection, machine learning algorithm setup and training. Multiple text classification algorithms will be available as listed below: Linear SVM Random Forest Multinomial Naive Bayes Bernoulli Naive Bayes Ridge Regressio Perceptron Passive Aggressive Classifier Deep machine learning algorithm. System users will be able to identify the most effective algorithm for their text classification task and compare them based on their accuracy. The architecture of the text classification tool will be based on a frontend interface and backend services. The frontend interface will provide all the tools the system user will be interacting with the system. This includes setting up data collection streams from multiple social networks and allocating them to pre-specified channels based on keywords. Data from each channel can be classified and assigned to a pre-defined cluster. The tool will provide a training interface for machine learning algorithms. This text classification tool is currently in active development for a client with planned testing and implementation in April 2019.


E-commerce is evolving at a rapid pace that new doors have been opened for the people to express their emotions towards the products. The opinions of the customers plays an important role in the e-commerce sites. It is practically a tedious job to analyze the opinions of users and form a pros and cons for respective products. This paper develops a solution through machine learning algorithms by pre-processing the reviews based on features of mobile products. This mainly focus on aspect level of opinions which uses SentiWordNet, Natural Language Processing and aggregate scores for analyzing the text reviews. The experimental results provide the visual representation of products which provide better understanding of product reviews rather than reading through long textual reviews which includes strengths and weakness of the product using Naive Bayes algorithm. This results also helps the e-commerce vendors to overcome the weakness of the products and meet the customer expectations.
