Several businesses and organizations utilize this technique to improve production, as well as employee and service efficiency. However, the users’ reviews in our study were expressed in an unstructured data form, which contained spelling errors, leading to complex classifications for both the users and the machine. To solve the problem, a supervised technique of Machine Learning (ML) algorithms can be applied to the data extraction, where classification polarity can be categorized into a positive, negative or neutral class. In this research, we compared nine ML algorithms to determine the most suitable ML algorithm for creating sentiment polarity classification of customer reviews in Thai, which is a low-resource language. The dataset was collected manually from two online agencies (Agoda.com and Booking.com) utilizing a special Thai language. We employed 11 preprocessing steps to clean and handle the large amount of noise data. Next, the Delta TF-IDF, TF-IDF, N-Gram, and Word2Vec techniques were applied to convert the text reviews into vectors, processed with different ML algorithms, to determine sentiment polarity classification and to make accurate comparisons. All ML algorithms were evaluated for sentiment polarity classification with ten-fold cross-validation, with which to compare the values of recall, precision, F1-score and accuracy. The experiment results show that the Support Vector Machine (SVM) using the Delta TF-IDF technique was the best ML algorithm for polarity classification of hotel reviews in the Thai language with the highest accuracy of 89.96%. The results of this research can be applied as the tool for small and medium-sized enterprises within the field of sentiment analysis of the Thai language in the hotel domain.","PeriodicalId":36592,"journal":{"name":"Acta Informatica Pragensia","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45669421","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}

One of the factors is the level of cybersecurity awareness. We aim to assess the readiness for e-commerce among Sarawakians due to the lack of study conducted on the subject. A research model based on the perceived risk (PR), perceived usefulness (PU) and perceived quality of products (PQ), and the intention (I) of adoption of e-commerce services in Sarawak is proposed. The validity of the proposed model is then tested using various validity tests such as item reliability, construct validity, convergent validity and discriminant validity via the SmartPLS software. Once the validity of the model has been determined, a structural equation model is used to study the strength of the model before the test of the hypothesis can be done. The effect size, f2, is calculated by using SmartPLS. The index value of each variable is also plotted in the importance-performance matrix analysis (IPMA). Based on the survey data from 128 end users in Sarawak, the study finds that PU is the most crucial factor in adopting e-commerce services, followed by PQ. Surprisingly, PR does not play any role in the intention of Sarawakians to adopt e-commerce services. The results suggest several important key points as follows: (i) the Sarawak Government and its e-commerce partners should focus on educating the people of Sarawak on the importance of cybersecurity to prevent cyber-related crimes from occurring and causing massive damage in Sarawak’s attempt to digitise its economy; (ii)Sarawakians prefer functional e-commerce services; (iii) the quality of e-commerce products should also be maintained; and (iv) the developers should focus on the usefulness of their products to ensure that their service can be adopted by the people of Sarawak.","PeriodicalId":36592,"journal":{"name":"Acta Informatica Pragensia","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48038738","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 objective of this article was to apply and compare the different classification methods for students’ mental health problems. Furthermore, it presents an ensemble classification method to improve the accuracy of classifiers and assist psychologists in the decision making process. For this, 10 different classifiers were applied for classifying students into two groups. In addition, two methods of combining the classifiers are presented. In the first proposed method, the classifiers were selected based on their accuracy, and then voting was carried out based on maximum probability. In the second proposed method, the methods were combined based on the fields of the confusion table, and the voting was carried out based on majority voting scheme. These two methods were evaluated in two ways. Focusing on the accuracy and the maximum probability voting, the accuracy of the first method was 92.24%, whereas in the second method, it was 95.97%. Further, using confusion table and majority voting applied to the entire dataset, the accuracy reached 96.66%.

Dyntar","doi":"10.18267/j.aip.149","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.18267/j.aip.149","url":null,"abstract":"In this article, we describe the use of dynamic simulation when designing an effective system for order picking within a distribution warehouse. The simulation model was created in the Witness software environment for discrete dynamic simulation and is a modification of a general simulation model of material flows in supplier systems. Using the example of a batch system for picking orders in a drugstore goods warehouse, we discuss the possibilities of using a general simulation model of material flows as an effective framework for the development of system support for warehouse processes using warehouse management system (WMS). The simulation model is based on the possibility of distributing any material flow in the supply system into a finite number of movements with the possibility of using one of the sources and fulfilment of certain conditions. In order to achieve the required optimisation of the order picking system, which depends, in particular, on the unknown duration of goods collection at the picking location, and on the duration of goods sorting in consolidation, the “what-if” analysis has been used as a tool to measure the impact of uncertainty of one or more variables entering the model on the uncertainty of output variables. The study showed that minimisation of the number of physical elements in the model leads to a significantly higher speed of its operation. By means of dynamic simulation, it is possible to test a large number of variants of the picking system layout in a relatively short time and minimise the risk of erroneous decisions associated with the implementation of a suitable WMS.","PeriodicalId":36592,"journal":{"name":"Acta Informatica Pragensia","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-05-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44227103","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 study analyzes the sensitivity of 35 types of information through a questionnaire with answers from 508 participants from Saudi Arabia and estimates the cultural influence by comparing Saudi results with users from the USA, Brazil and Germany. Demographic information, such as age, gender, marital status and education, and attitude characteristics, such as disposition to privacy, propensity to take risks, privacy violation experience and trust in institutions, influence Saudi individuals’ perception of sensitivity towards various types of information. The survey results show slight differences in the sensitivity levels between Internet users in Saudi Arabia and their counterparts in other nations.

The process is designed as a set of repeatable workflows and specified activity and role description. The method is designed as a combination of automated and manual actions.
