We used Twitter public data from 2015–2016 that contain tweets mentioning the technology, natural language processing and sentiment analysis to automatically identify social groups who might be currently shaping the development of this technology, the topics and prevalently expressed emotions by each group over time. The study found four distinct and active social agent groups who actively discussing five topics online in the two years period, and their level of engagement with online discussions regarding the technology were different. While distinct expectations of the technology were found, social agents’ attachment to those expectations was not sustainable. The overall sentiments of Twitter discussions were mostly neutral and gravitated toward slightly positive direction. The technology, despite being in early development stage and being highly anticipatory, was found to be more accepted than feared in discussions on social media. Some similarities and divergence among four social groups were also found. The study provided an empirical evidence for the contrast between two prominent social agents, expert and media, on their involvement in discussions regarding human genome editing.","PeriodicalId":122477,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE International Symposium on Technology and Society (ISTAS)","volume":"39 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129582955","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Today, social media has become widely used among people of different ages, groups and nationalities. In the Gulf region, Twitter is one of popular social networking sites. Tweets do not only contain information about opinions, news, and conversations, but also contain malicious content such as false information, malicious links, and other types of cyber threats. Therefore, those tweets need to be identified first in order to discover whether it is malicious or not. Tweets from the Gulf region are not written in the Modern Standard Language (MSA), which is used in most translation systems as an Arabic source. In this paper, we first present a Gulf Dialectical Arabic (Gulf DA) to English dataset in order to create a Gulf Knowledge Base (GulfKB). Then, we use the GulfKB model-based reasoning that is based on Bayesian inference to uncover malicious content and suspicious users. We have evaluated the proposed approach using numerical results. Our approach gives accuracy of 91% and outperforms the existing approaches in the state of art literature.","PeriodicalId":122477,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE International Symposium on Technology and Society (ISTAS)","volume":"37 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131961975","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

More and more companies are now implementing bots in order to reduce operational costs. Most bots use machine learning algorithms that are deployed on companies websites, cloud services, or distributed mobile systems so that customers are always able to speak with ‘someone’ to inquire about products or services. Most bots are trained using data from interactions among human beings so that they can learn speech patterns and answer questions. In this paper we present the results of an experiment designed to survey people’s perception of these bots and how much people trust them. We present a moral dilemma to the respondents and ask questions about permissiveness and assess if bots are judged and blamed differently than their human counterparts. In this paper we reveal such differences in judgement, which suggest that many people hold the chatbots to similar behavioral standards than human beings; however, bots receive blame just as humans do.","PeriodicalId":122477,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE International Symposium on Technology and Society (ISTAS)","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115991851","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This system illustrates the importance of household savings to people in developing countries. The system is actually a game that illustrates how placing a portion of family earnings into a savings account, along with prudent use of loans, can increase available household income over time. This system has been used in a community in rural Honduras composed almost completely of farming families who have access to a local micro-finance institution (MFI). After participating in a session of this financial literacy learning game, the participants had a better understanding of the foundational practices incumbent upon the proper management of household finances through an MFI. Developing this learning system into a computer application enhances and widens its usability in developing countries, particularly for non-governmental organizations (NGOs) that teach financial literacy. The importance of the computer application is that it incorporates the rules of the game, which are based on the financial principles required for the success of an MFI, and the rules also take into consideration those conditions unique to rural Honduras. Thus, NGO staff members can quickly learn this game and the principles upon which it has been developed and quickly master this learning system so it can employed in rural communities.","PeriodicalId":122477,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE International Symposium on Technology and Society (ISTAS)","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115042421","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
