Nevertheless, many retailers are forced to address the benefits that consumers have gotten used to through digital shopping experiences. Smart Retailing (SR) is seen as a possible solution for brick-and-mortar stores to answer the challenges created by the rise of e-commerce. This study aims to present the current state of research in SR and evaluate its potential to confront the challenges that have arisen in the industry. To do so, we built upon insights from previous works, in which we derived specific areas of impact that need to be considered when implementing those technologies. In this work, we substantiate our developed assessment with empirical data generated through the analysis of exploratory expert interviews. The textit{gain of valuable data} and the textit{personalization of the shopping experience} are confirmed among the positive impact factors. At the same time, textit{privacy concerns} and textit{customer acceptance risk} were the most discussed negative impact factors in the interviews. Finally, the interview findings were used to adapt the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) to the specific context of SR. Overall, this work provides more profound insight into the essential factors that need to be considered by brick-and-mortar retailers to face the increasing pressure imposed by online competition.","PeriodicalId":232625,"journal":{"name":"J.

Therefore, developing methodologies which are capable of automatically extracting information from legal opinion texts related to previous court cases can be considered as an important tool when it comes to the legal technology ecosystem. In this study, we focus on finding advantageous and disadvantageous facts or arguments in court cases, which is one of the most critical and time-consuming tasks in court case analysis. The Aspect-based Sentiment Analysis concept is used as the base of this study to perform legal information extraction. In this paper, we introduce a solution to predict sentiment value of sentences in legal documents in relation to its legal parties. The proposed approach employs a fine-grained sentiment analysis (Aspect-Based Sentiment Analysis) technique to achieve this task. Sigmalaw PBSA is a novel deep learning-based model for ABSA which is specifically designed for legal opinion texts. We evaluate the Sigmalaw PBSA model and existing ABSA models on the SigmaLaw-ABSA dataset which consists of 2000 legal opinion texts fetched from a public online data base. Experiments show that our model outperforms the state-of-the-art models. We also conduct an ablation study to identify which methods are most effective for legal texts.","PeriodicalId":232625,"journal":{"name":"J.

In addition, the criminal caseload is increasing in Brazilian Judiciary, which is encouraging AI usage to advance in e-Justice. Within this context, the paper presents a case study with a dataset composed of 2,200 judgments from the Supreme Federal Court (STF) about pre-trial detention. These are cases in which a provisional prisoner requests for freedom through habeas corpus. We applied Machine Learning (ML) and Natural Language Processing (NLP) techniques to predict whether STF will release or not the provisional prisoner (text classification), and also to find a reliable association between the judgment outcome and the prisoners' crime and/or the judge responsible for the case (association rules). We obtained satisfactory results in both tasks. Classification results show that, among the models used, Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) is the best, with 95% accuracy and 0.91 F1-Score. Association results indicate that, among the rules generated, there is a high probability of drug law crimes leading to a dismissed habeas corpus (which means the maintenance of pre-trial detention). We concluded that STF has not interfered in first degree decisions about pre-trial detention and that it is necessary to discuss drug criminalization in Brazil. The main contribution of the paper is to provide models that can support judges and pre-trial detainees.","PeriodicalId":232625,"journal":{"name":"J.

To comply with the laws and to minimize liability, companies must destroy data that must be purged or is no longer needed. However, database backups generally cannot be edited to purge ``expired'' data and erasing the entire backup is impractical. To maintain compliance, data curators need a mechanism to support targeted destruction of data in backups. In this paper, we present a cryptographic erasure framework that can purge data from across database backups. We demonstrate how different purge policies can be defined through views and enforced without violating database constraints.","PeriodicalId":232625,"journal":{"name":"J.

In the public sector, different understandings of the platform concept prevail. To guide the development and further re-search a coherent understanding is required. To address this gap, we identify the constitutive elements of platforms in the public sector. Moreover, their potential to coordinate partially autonomous entities as typical for federal organized states is highlighted. This study contributes through a uniform understanding of public service platforms by providing a framework with constitutive elements, that may guide future analysis. Apart from chance regarding coordination, platforms are well suited to support contextual eGovernment targets. Among them is service personalization. Highly individualized service offerings support targets such as No Stop government. To this end, the paper extends the framework for service personalization in the public sector and exemplifies related aspects using a reference case.","PeriodicalId":232625,"journal":{"name":"J.

This paper adopts two state-of-the-art explainable recommendation approaches and shows how to apply our method to them. Moreover, our method in this paper considers the possibility of making use of reviews which do not provide detailed review utilization. Our proposal can be applied to different explainable recommendation approaches, which is shown by adopting the two approaches, with reviews that do not necessarily provide their detailed utilization data. The evaluation with using Amazon reviews shows an improvement of the two explainable recommendation approaches. Our proposal is the first attempt to make use of reviews which are written or referred to by users in generating explainable recommendation.

While there has been an enormous amount of progress in utilising efficient machine learning and NLP techniques for tackling this task, recent methods have not fully addressed contextualizing the textual content to the highest possible extent. The textual content of social media posts and comments is normally long, noisy and mixed with lots of irrelevant tokens and characters, and therefore utilizing an attention-based approach that can focus on more relevant parts of the text can be quite pertinent. Moreover, social media information is normally multi-modal in nature and may contain various metadata and contextual information that can contribute to enhancing the Cyberbullying prediction system. In this research, we propose a novel machine learning method that, (i) fine tunes a variant of BERT, a deep attention-based language model, which is capable of detecting patterns in long and noisy bodies of text; (ii)~extracts contextual information from multiple sources including metadata information, images and even external knowledge sources and uses these features to complement the learner model; and (iii) efficiently combines textual and contextual features using boosting and a wide-and-deep architecture.

Compared to the number of users in online social networks, user-specified trust relations are very sparse. This makes the pair-wise trust prediction a challenging task. Social studies have investigated trust and why people trust each other. The relation between trust and personality traits of people who established those relations, has been proved by social theories. In this work, we attempt to alleviate the effect of the sparsity of trust relations by extracting implicit information from the users, in particular, by focusing on users' personality traits and seeking a low-rank representation of users. We investigate the potential impact on the prediction of trust relations, by incorporating users' personality traits based on the Big Five factor personality model. We evaluate the impact of similarities of users' personality traits and the effect of each personality trait on pair-wise trust relations. Next, we formulate a new unsupervised trust prediction model based on tensor decomposition. Finally, we empirically evaluate this model using two real-world datasets. Our extensive experiments confirm the superior performance of our model compared to the state-of-the-art approaches.","PeriodicalId":232625,"journal":{"name":"J.
