In recent years, digital technology and research methods have developed natural language processing for better understanding consumers and what they share in social media. There are hardly any studies in transportation analysis with TripAdvisor, and moreover, there is not a complete analysis from the point of view of sentiment analysis. The aim of study is to investigate and discover the presence of sustainable transport modes underlying in non-categorized TripAdvisor texts, such as walking mobility in order to impact positively in public services and businesses. The methodology follows a quantitative and qualitative approach based on knowledge discovery techniques. Thus, data gathering, normalization, classification, polarity analysis, and labelling tasks have been carried out to obtain sentiment labelled training data set in the transport domain as a valuable contribution for predictive analytics. This research has allowed the authors to discover sustainable transport modes underlying the texts, focused on walking mobility but extensible to other means of transport and social media sources.

Commercial advertisements, social campaigns, and ubiquitous online reviews are a few non-literary domains where creative text is profusely embedded to capture a viewer's imagination. Recent AI business applications such as chatbots and interactive digital campaigns emphasise the need to process creative text for a seamless and fulfilling user experience. Figurative text in human communication conveys implicit perceptions and unspoken emotions. Metaphor is one such figure of speech that maps a latent idea in a target domain to an evocative concept from a source domain. This chapter explores the problem of computational metaphor interpretation through the glass of subjectivity. The world wide web is mined to learn about the source domain concept. Ekman emotion categories and pretrained word embeddings are used to model the subjectivity. The performance evaluation is performed to determine the reader's preference for emotive vs non emotive meanings. This chapter establishes the role of subjectivity and user inclination towards the meaning that fits in their existing cognitive schema.

Today, it is usual that a consumer seeks for others' feelings about their purchasing experience on the web before a simple decision of buying a product or a service. Sentiment analysis intends to help people in taking profit from the available opinionated texts on the web for their decision making, and business is one of its challenging areas. Considerable work of sentiment analysis has been achieved in English and other Indo-European languages. Despite the important number of Arabic speakers and internet users, studies in Arabic sentiment analysis are still insufficient. The current chapter vocation is to give the main challenges of Arabic sentiment together with their recent proposed solutions in the literature. The chapter flowchart is presented in a novel manner that obtains the main challenges from presented literature works. Then it gives the proposed solutions for each challenge. The chapter reaches the finding that the future tendency will be toward rule-based techniques and deep learning, allowing for more dealings with Arabic language inherent characteristics.

Increased use of computer-assisted translation (CAT) technology in business settings with augmented amounts of tasks, collaborative work, and short deadlines give rise to errors and the need for quality assurance (QA). The research has three operational aims: 1) methodological framework for QA analysis, 2) comparative evaluation of four QA tools, 3) to justify introduction of QA into CAT process. The research includes building of translation memory, terminology extraction, and creation of terminology base. Error categorization is conducted by multidimensional quality (MQM) framework. The level of mistake is calculated considering detected, false, and not detected errors. Weights are assigned to errors (minor, major, or critical), penalties are calculated, and quality estimation for translation memory is given. Results show that process is prone to errors due to differences in error detection, harmonization, and error counting. Data analysis of detected errors leads to further data-driven decisions related to the quality of output results and improved efficacy of translation business process.

In this study, the authors give both theoretical and experimental information about text mining, which is one of the natural language processing topics. Three different text mining problems such as news classification, sentiment analysis, and author recognition are discussed for Turkish. They aim to reduce the running time and increase the performance of machine learning algorithms. Four different machine learning algorithms and two different feature selection metrics are used to solve these text classification problems. Classification algorithms are random forest (RF), logistic regression (LR), naive bayes (NB), and sequential minimal optimization (SMO). Chi-square and information gain metrics are used as the feature selection method. The highest classification performance achieved in this study is 0.895 according to the F-measure metric. This result is obtained by using the SMO classifier and information gain metric for news classification. This study is important in terms of comparing the performances of classification algorithms and feature selection methods.

Rare diseases in their entirety have a substantial impact on the healthcare market, as they affect a large number of patients worldwide. Governments provide financial support for diagnosis and treatment. Market orientation is crucial for any market participant to achieve business profitability. However, the market for rare diseases is opaque. The authors compare results from search engines and healthcare databases utilizing natural language processing. The approach starts with an information retrieval process, applying the MeSH thesaurus. The results are prioritized and visualized, using word clouds. In total, the chapter is about the examination of 30 rare diseases and about 500,000 search results in the databases Pubmed, FindZebra, and the search engine Google. The authors compare their results to the search for common diseases. The authors conclude that FindZebra and Google provide relatively good results for the evaluation of therapies and diagnoses. However, the quantity of the findings from professional databases such as Pubmed remains unsurpassed.

Hate content detection is the most prospective and challenging research area under the natural language processing domain. Hate speech abuse individuals or groups of people based on religion, caste, language, or sex. Enormous growth of digital media and cyberspace has encouraged researchers to work on hatred speech detection. A commonly acceptable automatic hate detection system is required to stop flowing hate-motivated data. Anonymous hate content is affecting the young generation and adults on social networking sites. Through numerous studies and review papers, the chapter identifies the need for artificial intelligence (AI) in hate speech research. The chapter explores the current state-of-the-art and prospects of AI in natural language processing (NLP) and machine learning algorithms. The chapter aims to identify the most successful methods or techniques for hate speech detection to date. Revolution in this research helps social media to provide a healthy environment for everyone.

The evolution of e-commerce has contributed to the increase of the information available, making the task of analyzing the reviews manually almost impossible. Due to the amount of information, the creation of automatic methods of knowledge extraction and data mining has become necessary. Currently, to facilitate the analysis of reviews, some websites use filters such as votes by the utility or by stars. However, the use of these filters is not a good practice because they may exclude reviews that have recently been submitted to the voting process. One possible solution is to filter the reviews based on their textual descriptions, author information, and other measures. This chapter has a propose of approaches to estimate the importance of reviews about products and services using fuzzy systems and artificial neural networks. The results were encouraging, obtaining better results when detecting the most important reviews, achieving approximately 82% when f-measure is analyzed.

With the accelerated evolution of social networks, there is a tremendous increase in opinions by the people about products or services. While this user-generated content in natural language is intended to be valuable, its large amounts require use of content mining methods and NLP to uncover the knowledge for various tasks. In this study, sentiment analysis is used to analyze and understand the opinions of users using statistical approaches, knowledge-based approaches, hybrid approaches, and concept-based ontologies. Unfortunately, sentiment analysis also experiences a range of difficulties like colloquial words, negation handling, ambiguity in word sense, coreference resolution, which highlight another perspective emphasizing that sentiment analysis is certainly a restricted NLP problem. The purpose of this chapter is to discover how sentiment analysis is a restricted NLP problem. Thus, this chapter discussed the concept of sentiment analysis in the field of NLP and explored that sentiment analysis is a restricted NLP problem due to the sophisticated nature of natural language.
