The threat is even greater when the purpose is political or ideological and they are used during electoral campaigns. Bots play a key role in disseminating these false claims. False information is intentionally written to trigger emotions to the readers in an attempt to be believed and be disseminated in social media. Therefore, in order to discriminate credible from non credible information, we believe that it is important to take into account these emotional signals. In this paper we describe the way that emotional features have been integrated in deep learning models in order to detect if and when emotions are evoked in fake news.","PeriodicalId":142284,"journal":{"name":"2021 International Symposium on Electrical, Electronics and Information Engineering","volume":"43 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-02-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131689182","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}

And on this basis, we propose a more accurate user similarity measurement method, and get a more accurate user rating prediction method.The experimental results show that the proposed similarity calculation method combined with the co-rating sequence can more accurately characterize the user similarity, the user ratings prediction mean square error is smaller and the recommended effect is effectively improved compared with other algorithms.

But whether it is the cumulative error of the multistep prediction or the instability of the new case data of the COVID-19 make the performance of LSTM in this task not so good. In this paper, we selected three countries with more severe COVID-19 epidemics—India, Russia, and Chile, to predict new cases in the next 15 days with different multistep LSTM network models, and use Bayesian Optimization to explore the optimal hyperparameter space. The results show that: a) the performance of Recursive Prediction LSTM is the best (Mean Absolute Percentage Error, MAPE was reduced to 14.88%, 6.46%, and 16.31% for the three countries respectively), Encoder Decoder LSTM is second (15.52%, 19.61%, 19.87%), and the effect of vector output LSTM is the worst (23.55%, 26.82%, 19.57%); b) there are obvious extremely poor areas in the hyperparameter space, and the Bayesian Optimizer can focus on the good areas to avoid cost of tuning parameters based on bad hyperparameters; c) the data of new cases of COVID-19 in different countries have great differences in the hyperparameter expectations for the model. The bad area of hyperparameters and different expectations are likely to be one of the reasons why the COVID-19 data of different countries is hard to train jointly.","PeriodicalId":142284,"journal":{"name":"2021 International Symposium on Electrical, Electronics and Information Engineering","volume":"40 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-02-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133849853","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}

However, as an established science, there is a slow adoption of NLP and Text Analytics in healthcare sector for analysis of unstructured textual data originating from customer interactions. One of the key areas of our exploration is the Medical Information function within our organization. We receive a significant amount of medical information inquires in the form of unstructured data through multiple communication channels. The current system of gathering insights takes significant time and effort – as information must be manually tagged and classified limiting the ability to drive insights and trends efficiently and in a timely manner. These limitations mean subject matter experts must spend time manually deducing insights and aligning with medical affairs – time that could be better spent elsewhere. Therefore, this article presents an approach using NLP & Text Analytics to generate valuable insights from unstructured medical information inquiries. The system automatically extracts key phrases, medical terms, themes, sentiments as well as leverages unsupervised statistical modeling for two-level categorization of inquiries. Results of NLP when analyzed with the aid of visual analytics tool highlighted non-obvious insights indicating the value it can generate to influence product strategies.","PeriodicalId":142284,"journal":{"name":"2021 International Symposium on Electrical, Electronics and Information Engineering","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-02-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115195370","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}

However, current tensor models suffer from a lack of a formal basis, where the tensors are treated as arbitrary multidimensional data processed by a large and ever-growing collection of functions added ad hoc. In this way, tensor frameworks degenerate to programming languages with a curiously cumbersome data model. This paper argues that a more formal basis for tensors and their computation brings important benefits. The proposed formalism is based on 1) a strong type system for tensors with named dimensions, 2) a common model of both dense and sparse tensors, and 3) a small, closed set of tensor functions, providing a general mathematical language in which higher level functions can be expressed. These features work together to provide ease of use resulting from static type verification with meaningful dimension names, improved interoperability resulting from defining a closed set of just six foundational tensor functions, and better support for performance optimizations resulting from having just a small set of core functions needing low-level optimizations, and higher-level operations being able to work on arbitrary chunks of these functions, as well as from better mathematical properties from using named tensor dimensions without inherent order. The proposed model is implemented as the model inference engine in the Vespa big data serving engine, where it runs various models expressed in this language directly, as well as models expressed in TensorFlow or Onnx formats.","PeriodicalId":142284,"journal":{"name":"2021 International Symposium on Electrical, Electronics and Information Engineering","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-02-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124004183","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}

Recently, supply-chain systems that use a blockchain have been proposed. In these systems, the blockchain is used as a common database shared among supply chain parties to secure the integrity and reliability of distribution information such as ownership transfer records. These systems thus secure a high level of traceability in the supply chain. Considering future scalability of supply chains, public permissionless blockchain (PPBC) is a promising approach. In this approach, however, distribution information that should be kept private is made public since the information recorded in PPBC can be read by anyone. We therefore propose a method for preserving privacy while securing traceability in a supply chain system using PPBC. The proposed method preserves privacy by concealing distribution information via encryption. In addition, the proposed method ensures distribution among legitimate supply chain parties while concealing their blockchain addresses by using zero-knowledge proofs.We implement the proposed method on Ethereum smart contracts and verify the system behavior. The results show that the proposed method works as expected, and that system usage cost per distribution party is at most 2.2 × 106 gas units in terms of blockchain transaction fees.","PeriodicalId":142284,"journal":{"name":"2021 International Symposium on Electrical, Electronics and Information Engineering","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-02-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128882211","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 stratified architecture has created data silos that introduce complexities such as limited user control and lack of solicitation regarding the usage of user data. The constant proliferation of IoT devices deployed in smart cities which include smart university campus (SUC) has resulted in the need for the development of IoT architecture models which are data-centric. In this paper a blockchain- based architecture model, and specifically, the distributed ledger inherent within the Ethereum blockchain, combined with the Proof Of Authority (POA) consensus mechanism, are proposed as a potential solution to developing a proof of concept architecture model that is data-centric.
