They enable people to hold discussions online, whereas these have traditionally been conducted face-to-face at town meetings, etc. However, in a large-scale bulletin board, not all of the participants have a deep understanding of a topic when engaging in discussion. In particular, it is important to automatically classify a person who is making useful posts if a bulletin board is intended to make agreements. This paper proposes an automated method to identify the expertise of participants by defining expertise as a requisite argumentative competence. In this paper, we propose novel features for competence estimation models: lexical features (IDF, discourse marker, and topic similarity) and a directed influence graph feature. Furthermore, in the evaluation experiments, we evaluate the precision-recall curve against the baseline. As for datasets for evaluation, the expertise of the participants in the data of discussion conducted in the actual Web discussion bulletin board is annotated in seven grades. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed methodology is effective in many cases.","PeriodicalId":281712,"journal":{"name":"2017 6th IIAI International Congress on Advanced Applied Informatics (IIAI-AAI)","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-07-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114341834","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}

It is required to have an effective approach to support industrial practitioners to identify and analyze technological opportunities, especially for a new emerging technology-enabled market. This research develops an outlier-based patent analysis approach to explore potential technological opportunities for the telehealth industry. The proposed methodology applies text mining based on the vector space model (VSM) to represent patent documents as a term-document matrix. Latent semantic analysis (LSA), a technique in natural language processing, is used to transform the original term-document matrix into a lower dimensional space to alleviate the problem of curse of dimensionality. Then, the angle-based outlier detection (ABOD) method is applied to determine outlier patents that provide fresh ideas for new technological opportunities. Several potential opportunities are identified from the experimental results, such as new material, unified data transmission hub, new indicators for more accurate data collection, and facilitating coordination among care team members. The research finding may help Taiwans telehealth firms identify potential opportunities and improve their product strategies.","PeriodicalId":281712,"journal":{"name":"2017 6th IIAI International Congress on Advanced Applied Informatics (IIAI-AAI)","volume":"93 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-07-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126551263","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}

As an effective personalization technique, it solicits recommendations from one another and recommends appropriate services to target users. However, with the advent of shilling attack, problems arise along with the rapid development of such promising technology, which is, the existence of noisy attacking profiles leads to the inaccuracy of recommendation results. Since current state-of-the-art approaches rarely take such security aspects into consideration, we propose a novel recommending framework based on Important User Group (IUG) incorporating traditional collaborative filtering algorithm to achieve a robust web service recommendation. In our work, three selection methods are applied to obtain IUG, eliminating certain quantity of malicious users. Experimental results on Meizu-AppCom, WS-DREAM, and Epinions demonstrate resilience of IUG to shilling attacks.","PeriodicalId":281712,"journal":{"name":"2017 6th IIAI International Congress on Advanced Applied Informatics (IIAI-AAI)","volume":"273 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124414982","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, a common method for delivery of such applications is via component-based software engineering disciplines based on cloud computing technologies such as containers. However, there are still numerous technological challenges to be solved particularly related to the time-critical Quality of Service (QoS) aspects of such applications. Runtime variations in the workload intensity as the amount of service tasks to be processed may radically affect the application performance perceived by the end-users or lead to the underutilization of resources. In order to assure the QoS of these containerized applications, monitoring is required at both container and application levels. Currently, there is a great lack of such multi-level monitoring systems. In this study, we present an architecture and implementation of a multi-level monitoring framework to ensure system health and adapt an IoT application in response to varying quantity, size and computational requirements of arrival requests.

Index of Learning Style (ILS) has widely been used to identify students learning style and to provide learning suggestions accordingly; unfortunately, question items are presented in text-based format, in which students may simply give responses without any careful considerations or misinterpret the questions. This could lead to misidentify their learning styles and to provide inappropriate learning tasks/activities to their preferences. Therefore, this study proposes an alternative instrument to diagnose students learning style with an interactive story-based mobile game application based on ILS. Students can interact with the scenario-based story in the game with enjoyment; meanwhile, they can make decisions by giving responses on the quest items through different situations. The quests were carefully designed and validated to ensure similar measurement to the original ILS items. Furthermore, an experiment has been conducted to evaluate its effectiveness. The findings showed that all quest items on the proposed game application are effective and reliable to diagnose students learning style and to suggest practical learning tasks/activities accordingly in lesser time in order to enhance their learning performance. In addition, students were highly satisfied and strongly accepted this novel tool; therefore, this novel game can be used as an alternative to the original ILS.","PeriodicalId":281712,"journal":{"name":"2017 6th IIAI International Congress on Advanced Applied Informatics (IIAI-AAI)","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123698549","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}
