For instance, the majority of tourism companies have professional websites where customers can book: flights, bus and taxi trips, hotels, restaurants, etc. they can also compare services in terms of prices, locations, services quality, and other interesting criterion. For this purpose, the used dataset consists of a sample of hotel reviews provided by customers who have reserved recently. Analyzing these reviews will help companies to know if their services are suitable for customers, satisfy their needs and what is the degree of this satisfaction. i.e., customers are happy or not? Satisfied or not? Our main objective in this work is to develop an efficient and intelligent system based on NNs which allows us to predict how customers feel about the provided services. To accomplish this work, we have proceeded to the classification task using many machine learning algorithms, including LDA, KNN, CART, NB, and SVM. Then, we proposed in the second stage a deep neural network DNN model to perform the same task. Finally, we established a short comparison between the different algorithms. In the programming stage, we benefited from the large opportunities offered by Python language, as well as Tensorflow and Keras libraries.","PeriodicalId":302120,"journal":{"name":"2021 22nd International Arab Conference on Information Technology (ACIT)","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116740674","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}

Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Machine learning techniques have been extensively applied in this particular domain to address this challenge. Text classification is helpful in several scenarios such as product mining, emotions or sentiment analysis, etc. News classification is one of its applications through which content of news is processed and analyzed to assign predefined label(s). This research is focused on classification of Pakistani news obtained from dataset available on Open Data Pakistan. We have applied various machine learning algorithms including Logistic Regression, Random Forest, Support Vector Machine, and Naïve Bayes for first-level classification and Logistic Regression for multilevel classification. Comparative analysis of these algorithms is also presented. We achieved a maximum of 97.8% accuracy through Support Vector Machine in single-level classification and 83% through Logistic Regression in multilevel text classification.","PeriodicalId":302120,"journal":{"name":"2021 22nd International Arab Conference on Information Technology (ACIT)","volume":"731 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128293200","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}

For example, machine learning enables us to develop self-driving cars and helps us to improve online shopping suggestions. Both random walks and machine learning are often taught theoretically in schools and universities because of the lack of means to provide experiential learning opportunities. However, the absence of experiential learning may cause low educational attainment rates of students in courses that address these topics. Here, we discuss a web-based online system based on Django web technology to support teaching random walks and machine learning. The application uses machine learning models to classify 2D random walks that a user can provide. In a teaching setting, the application can—for example—be applied to determine the sizes of spherical particles that diffuse based on their trajectories.","PeriodicalId":302120,"journal":{"name":"2021 22nd International Arab Conference on Information Technology (ACIT)","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129173435","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}

For example, in most developing countries like Ghana, flooding has affected over four million people in terms of property damage, loss of lives, income and spread of diseases, resulting in economic harm beyond USD780 million. At least one major flood disaster does occur yearly. The recurring incidences of flooding and associated calamitous socio-economic risks and anticipated increase of its prevalence soon in cities of developing countries such as Ghana have necessitated an intelligence system to offer efficient and early warning of its occurrence. In this study, we explore the potential of the machine learning (ML) computing paradigm to propose a flooding prediction model. Specifically, four state-of-the-art ML algorithms, namely long short-term memory (LSTM), extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost), random forest (RF) and extremely randomised trees (Extra Trees), are used to implement four different flood prediction models. We measure the performance of our developed models with multiple statistical performance evaluators. The experimental results show the potential of the developed models for efficient and effective prediction of flooding. The merit of this study lies in the fact that it is the first to the best of our knowledge to use a combination of environmental factors from Ghana and machine learning algorithms to develop intelligent flood models to help stakeholders make informed decisions.","PeriodicalId":302120,"journal":{"name":"2021 22nd International Arab Conference on Information Technology (ACIT)","volume":"87 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129592333","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}

The proposed model predicts and identifies a non-linear system using the Hybrid Gravitational Search Algorithm (HGSA). The proposed algorithm HGSA is deemed with the optimal parameter settings and network topology of a neural network. GSA is implemented with a spiral-shaped mechanism (SSM) to eradicate primary drawbacks such as slow convergence. Thus, it tends to premature convergence. Moreover, HGSA-SSM selects updated particles' locations through the most suitable selection law that provides an exact match in global and local search competencies. Additionally, HGSA-SSM could optimize the RBF neural network's parameters such that a network model is generated with high precision. Hence, our proposed novel proposed model (HGSA-SSM –RBFNN) overcomes the non-linear problems by developing several numerical precedents, and it is found efficient than the existing RBF neural networks.","PeriodicalId":302120,"journal":{"name":"2021 22nd International Arab Conference on Information Technology (ACIT)","volume":"103 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124003341","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}
