These models have great potential to enhance database query systems, enabling more intuitive and semantic query mechanisms. Our model leverages LLM’s deep learning architecture to interpret and process natural language queries and translate them into accurate database queries. The system integrates an LLM-powered semantic parser that translates user input into structured queries that can be understood by the database management system. First, the user query is pre-processed, the text is normalized, and the ambiguity is removed. This is followed by semantic parsing, where the LLM interprets the pre-processed text and identifies key entities and relationships. This is followed by query generation, which converts the parsed information into a structured query format and tailors it to the target database schema. Finally, there is query execution and feedback, where the resulting query is executed on the database and the results are returned to the user. The system also provides feedback mechanisms to improve and optimize future query interpretations. By using advanced LLMs for model implementation and fine-tuning on diverse datasets, the experimental results show that the proposed method significantly improves the accuracy and usability of database queries, making data retrieval easy for users without specialized knowledge.展开更多

As such, much of the research and development in NLP in the last two decades has been in finding and optimizing solutions to this problem, to feature selection in NLP effectively. This paper looks at the development of these various techniques, leveraging a variety of statistical methods which rest on linguistic theories that were advanced in the middle of the last century, namely the distributional hypothesis which suggests that words that are found in similar contexts generally have similar meanings. In this survey paper we look at the development of some of the most popular of these techniques from a mathematical as well as data structure perspective, from Latent Semantic Analysis to Vector Space Models to their more modern variants which are typically referred to as word embeddings. In this review of algoriths such as Word2Vec, GloVe, ELMo and BERT, we explore the idea of semantic spaces more generally beyond applicability to NLP.展开更多

The rate of the number of people being affected is very high compared to the rate of medical treatment of the disease. Thus, the disease often remains untreated and suffering continues. Machine learning has been widely used in many studies in detecting depressive individuals from their contents on online social networks. From the related reviews, it is apparent that the application of stacking for diagnosing depression has been minimal. The study implements stacking based on Extra Tree, Extreme Gradient Boosting, Light Gradient Boosting and Multi-layer perceptron and compares its performance to state of the art bagging and boosting ensemble learners. To better evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed stacking approach, three pretrain word embeddings techniques including: Word2vec, Global Vectors and Embeddings from language models were employed with two datasets. Also, a corrected resampled paired t-test was applied to test the significance of the stacked accuracy against the baseline accuracy. The experimental results shows that the stacking approach yields favourable results with a best accuracy of 99.54%.展开更多

Big data, information analysis, and artificial intelligence (AI) havebecome the basis for making strategic decisions in many sensitive areas, such as fraud detection, risk management,medical diagnosis, and counter-terrorism. However, there is still a need to assess how terrorist attacks are related,initiated, and detected. For this purpose, we propose a novel framework for classifying and predicting terroristattacks. The proposed framework posits that neglected text attributes included in the Global Terrorism Database(GTD) can influence the accuracy of the model’s classification of terrorist attacks, where each part of the datacan provide vital information to enrich the ability of classifier learning. Each data point in a multiclass taxonomyhas one or more tags attached to it, referred as “related tags.” We applied machine learning classifiers to classifyterrorist attack incidents obtained from the GTD. A transformer-based technique called DistilBERT extracts andlearns contextual features from text attributes to acquiremore information from text data. The extracted contextualfeatures are combined with the “key features” of the dataset and used to perform the final classification. Thestudy explored different experimental setups with various classifiers to evaluate the model’s performance. Theexperimental results show that the proposed framework outperforms the latest techniques for classifying terroristattacks with an accuracy of 98.7% using a combined feature set and extreme gradient boosting classifier.展开更多

文摘In response to the challenges of generating Attribute-Based Access Control(ABAC)policies,this paper proposes a deep learning-based method to automatically generate ABAC policies from natural language documents.This method is aimed at organizations such as companies and schools that are transitioning from traditional access control models to the ABAC model.The manual retrieval and analysis involved in this transition are inefficient,prone to errors,and costly.Most organizations have high-level specifications defined for security policies that include a set of access control policies,which often exist in the form of natural language documents.Utilizing this rich source of information,our method effectively identifies and extracts the necessary attributes and rules for access control from natural language documents,thereby constructing and optimizing access control policies.This work transforms the problem of policy automation generation into two tasks:extraction of access control statements andmining of access control attributes.First,the Chat General Language Model(ChatGLM)isemployed to extract access control-related statements from a wide range of natural language documents by constructing unique prompts and leveraging the model’s In-Context Learning to contextualize the statements.Then,the Iterated Dilated-Convolutions-Conditional Random Field(ID-CNN-CRF)model is used to annotate access control attributes within these extracted statements,including subject attributes,object attributes,and action attributes,thus reassembling new access control policies.Experimental results show that our method,compared to baseline methods,achieved the highest F1 score of 0.961,confirming the model’s effectiveness and accuracy.

文摘The exponential growth of literature is constraining researchers’access to comprehensive information in related fields.While natural language processing(NLP)may offer an effective solution to literature classification,it remains hindered by the lack of labelled dataset.In this article,we introduce a novel method for generating literature classification models through semi-supervised learning,which can generate labelled dataset iteratively with limited human input.We apply this method to train NLP models for classifying literatures related to several research directions,i.e.,battery,superconductor,topological material,and artificial intelligence(AI)in materials science.The trained NLP‘battery’model applied on a larger dataset different from the training and testing dataset can achieve F1 score of 0.738,which indicates the accuracy and reliability of this scheme.Furthermore,our approach demonstrates that even with insufficient data,the not-well-trained model in the first few cycles can identify the relationships among different research fields and facilitate the discovery and understanding of interdisciplinary directions.
文摘In recent years,large language models(LLMs)have made significant progress in natural language processing(NLP).These models not only perform well in a variety of language tasks but also show great potential in the medical field.This paper aims to explore the application of LLMs in clinical dialogues,analyzing their role in improving the efficiency of doctor-patient communication,aiding in diagnosis and treatment,and providing emotional support.The paper also discusses the challenges and limitations of the model in terms of privacy protection,ethical issues,and practical applications.Through comprehensive analysis,we conclude that applying LLMs in clinical dialogues is promising.However,it requires careful consideration and caution by practitioners in practice.
文摘With the rapid development of artificial intelligence, large language models (LLMs) have demonstrated remarkable capabilities in natural language understanding and generation. These models have great potential to enhance database query systems, enabling more intuitive and semantic query mechanisms. Our model leverages LLM’s deep learning architecture to interpret and process natural language queries and translate them into accurate database queries. The system integrates an LLM-powered semantic parser that translates user input into structured queries that can be understood by the database management system. First, the user query is pre-processed, the text is normalized, and the ambiguity is removed. This is followed by semantic parsing, where the LLM interprets the pre-processed text and identifies key entities and relationships. This is followed by query generation, which converts the parsed information into a structured query format and tailors it to the target database schema. Finally, there is query execution and feedback, where the resulting query is executed on the database and the results are returned to the user. The system also provides feedback mechanisms to improve and optimize future query interpretations. By using advanced LLMs for model implementation and fine-tuning on diverse datasets, the experimental results show that the proposed method significantly improves the accuracy and usability of database queries, making data retrieval easy for users without specialized knowledge.

文摘Sentiment analysis(SA)is the procedure of recognizing the emotions related to the data that exist in social networking.The existence of sarcasm in tex-tual data is a major challenge in the efficiency of the SA.Earlier works on sarcasm detection on text utilize lexical as well as pragmatic cues namely interjection,punctuations,and sentiment shift that are vital indicators of sarcasm.With the advent of deep-learning,recent works,leveraging neural networks in learning lexical and contextual features,removing the need for handcrafted feature.In this aspect,this study designs a deep learning with natural language processing enabled SA(DLNLP-SA)technique for sarcasm classification.The proposed DLNLP-SA technique aims to detect and classify the occurrence of sarcasm in the input data.Besides,the DLNLP-SA technique holds various sub-processes namely preprocessing,feature vector conversion,and classification.Initially,the pre-processing is performed in diverse ways such as single character removal,multi-spaces removal,URL removal,stopword removal,and tokenization.Secondly,the transformation of feature vectors takes place using the N-gram feature vector technique.Finally,mayfly optimization(MFO)with multi-head self-attention based gated recurrent unit(MHSA-GRU)model is employed for the detection and classification of sarcasm.To verify the enhanced outcomes of the DLNLP-SA model,a comprehensive experimental investigation is performed on the News Headlines Dataset from Kaggle Repository and the results signified the supremacy over the existing approaches.

文摘A variety of neural networks have been presented to deal with issues in deep learning in the last decades.Despite the prominent success achieved by the neural network,it still lacks theoretical guidance to design an efficient neural network model,and verifying the performance of a model needs excessive resources.Previous research studies have demonstrated that many existing models can be regarded as different numerical discretizations of differential equations.This connection sheds light on designing an effective recurrent neural network(RNN)by resorting to numerical analysis.Simple RNN is regarded as a discretisation of the forward Euler scheme.Considering the limited solution accuracy of the forward Euler methods,a Taylor‐type discrete scheme is presented with lower truncation error and a Taylor‐type RNN(T‐RNN)is designed with its guidance.Extensive experiments are conducted to evaluate its performance on statistical language models and emotion analysis tasks.The noticeable gains obtained by T‐RNN present its superiority and the feasibility of designing the neural network model using numerical methods.
文摘One of the critical hurdles, and breakthroughs, in the field of Natural Language Processing (NLP) in the last two decades has been the development of techniques for text representation that solves the so-called curse of dimensionality, a problem which plagues NLP in general given that the feature set for learning starts as a function of the size of the language in question, upwards of hundreds of thousands of terms typically. As such, much of the research and development in NLP in the last two decades has been in finding and optimizing solutions to this problem, to feature selection in NLP effectively. This paper looks at the development of these various techniques, leveraging a variety of statistical methods which rest on linguistic theories that were advanced in the middle of the last century, namely the distributional hypothesis which suggests that words that are found in similar contexts generally have similar meanings. In this survey paper we look at the development of some of the most popular of these techniques from a mathematical as well as data structure perspective, from Latent Semantic Analysis to Vector Space Models to their more modern variants which are typically referred to as word embeddings. In this review of algoriths such as Word2Vec, GloVe, ELMo and BERT, we explore the idea of semantic spaces more generally beyond applicability to NLP.

文摘The recent developments in Multimedia Internet of Things(MIoT)devices,empowered with Natural Language Processing(NLP)model,seem to be a promising future of smart devices.It plays an important role in industrial models such as speech understanding,emotion detection,home automation,and so on.If an image needs to be captioned,then the objects in that image,its actions and connections,and any silent feature that remains under-projected or missing from the images should be identified.The aim of the image captioning process is to generate a caption for image.In next step,the image should be provided with one of the most significant and detailed descriptions that is syntactically as well as semantically correct.In this scenario,computer vision model is used to identify the objects and NLP approaches are followed to describe the image.The current study develops aNatural Language Processing with Optimal Deep Learning Enabled Intelligent Image Captioning System(NLPODL-IICS).The aim of the presented NLPODL-IICS model is to produce a proper description for input image.To attain this,the proposed NLPODL-IICS follows two stages such as encoding and decoding processes.Initially,at the encoding side,the proposed NLPODL-IICS model makes use of Hunger Games Search(HGS)with Neural Search Architecture Network(NASNet)model.This model represents the input data appropriately by inserting it into a predefined length vector.Besides,during decoding phase,Chimp Optimization Algorithm(COA)with deeper Long Short Term Memory(LSTM)approach is followed to concatenate the description sentences 4436 CMC,2023,vol.74,no.2 produced by the method.The application of HGS and COA algorithms helps in accomplishing proper parameter tuning for NASNet and LSTM models respectively.The proposed NLPODL-IICS model was experimentally validated with the help of two benchmark datasets.Awidespread comparative analysis confirmed the superior performance of NLPODL-IICS model over other models.
文摘This study presents a novel and innovative approach to auto-matically translating Arabic Sign Language(ATSL)into spoken Arabic.The proposed solution utilizes a deep learning-based classification approach and the transfer learning technique to retrain 12 image recognition models.The image-based translation method maps sign language gestures to corre-sponding letters or words using distance measures and classification as a machine learning technique.The results show that the proposed model is more accurate and faster than traditional image-based models in classifying Arabic-language signs,with a translation accuracy of 93.7%.This research makes a significant contribution to the field of ATSL.It offers a practical solution for improving communication for individuals with special needs,such as the deaf and mute community.This work demonstrates the potential of deep learning techniques in translating sign language into natural language and highlights the importance of ATSL in facilitating communication for individuals with disabilities.
文摘The original intention of visual question answering(VQA)models is to infer the answer based on the relevant information of the question text in the visual image,but many VQA models often yield answers that are biased by some prior knowledge,especially the language priors.This paper proposes a mitigation model called language priors mitigation-VQA(LPM-VQA)for the language priors problem in VQA model,which divides language priors into positive and negative language priors.Different network branches are used to capture and process the different priors to achieve the purpose of mitigating language priors.A dynamically-changing language prior feedback objective function is designed with the intermediate results of some modules in the VQA model.The weight of the loss value for each answer is dynamically set according to the strength of its language priors to balance its proportion in the total VQA loss to further mitigate the language priors.This model does not depend on the baseline VQA architectures and can be configured like a plug-in to improve the performance of the model over most existing VQA models.The experimental results show that the proposed model is general and effective,achieving state-of-the-art accuracy in the VQA-CP v2 dataset.
文摘Depression is a major public health problem around the world and contributes significantly to poor health and poverty. The rate of the number of people being affected is very high compared to the rate of medical treatment of the disease. Thus, the disease often remains untreated and suffering continues. Machine learning has been widely used in many studies in detecting depressive individuals from their contents on online social networks. From the related reviews, it is apparent that the application of stacking for diagnosing depression has been minimal. The study implements stacking based on Extra Tree, Extreme Gradient Boosting, Light Gradient Boosting and Multi-layer perceptron and compares its performance to state of the art bagging and boosting ensemble learners. To better evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed stacking approach, three pretrain word embeddings techniques including: Word2vec, Global Vectors and Embeddings from language models were employed with two datasets. Also, a corrected resampled paired t-test was applied to test the significance of the stacked accuracy against the baseline accuracy. The experimental results shows that the stacking approach yields favourable results with a best accuracy of 99.54%.
文摘This work is about the progress of previous related work based on an experiment to improve the intelligence of robotic systems,with the aim of achieving more linguistic communication capabilities between humans and robots.In this paper,the authors attempt an algorithmic approach to natural language generation through hole semantics and by applying the OMAS-III computational model as a grammatical formalism.In the original work,a technical language is used,while in the later works,this has been replaced by a limited Greek natural language dictionary.This particular effort was made to give the evolving system the ability to ask questions,as well as the authors developed an initial dialogue system using these techniques.The results show that the use of these techniques the authors apply can give us a more sophisticated dialogue system in the future.
文摘This paper attempts to approach the interface of a robot from the perspective of virtual assistants.Virtual assistants can also be characterized as the mind of a robot,since they manage communication and action with the rest of the world they exist in.Therefore,virtual assistants can also be described as the brain of a robot and they include a Natural Language Processing(NLP)module for conducting communication in their human-robot interface.This work is focused on inquiring and enhancing the capabilities of this module.The problem is that nothing much is revealed about the nature of the human-robot interface of commercial virtual assistants.Therefore,any new attempt of developing such a capability has to start from scratch.Accordingly,to include corresponding capabilities to a developing NLP system of a virtual assistant,a method of systemic semantic modelling is proposed and applied.For this purpose,the paper briefly reviews the evolution of virtual assistants from the first assistant,in the form of a game,to the latest assistant that has significantly elevated their standards.Then there is a reference to the evolution of their services and their continued offerings,as well as future expectations.The paper presents their structure and the technologies used,according to the data provided by the development companies to the public,while an attempt is made to classify virtual assistants,based on their characteristics and capabilities.Consequently,a robotic NLP interface is being developed,based on the communicative power of a proposed systemic conceptual model that may enhance the NLP capabilities of virtual assistants,being tested through a small natural language dictionary in Greek.
文摘One of the biggest dangers to society today is terrorism, where attacks have become one of the most significantrisks to international peace and national security. Big data, information analysis, and artificial intelligence (AI) havebecome the basis for making strategic decisions in many sensitive areas, such as fraud detection, risk management,medical diagnosis, and counter-terrorism. However, there is still a need to assess how terrorist attacks are related,initiated, and detected. For this purpose, we propose a novel framework for classifying and predicting terroristattacks. The proposed framework posits that neglected text attributes included in the Global Terrorism Database(GTD) can influence the accuracy of the model’s classification of terrorist attacks, where each part of the datacan provide vital information to enrich the ability of classifier learning. Each data point in a multiclass taxonomyhas one or more tags attached to it, referred as “related tags.” We applied machine learning classifiers to classifyterrorist attack incidents obtained from the GTD. A transformer-based technique called DistilBERT extracts andlearns contextual features from text attributes to acquiremore information from text data. The extracted contextualfeatures are combined with the “key features” of the dataset and used to perform the final classification. Thestudy explored different experimental setups with various classifiers to evaluate the model’s performance. Theexperimental results show that the proposed framework outperforms the latest techniques for classifying terroristattacks with an accuracy of 98.7% using a combined feature set and extreme gradient boosting classifier.

文摘Recent advancements in natural language processing have given rise to numerous pre-training language models in question-answering systems.However,with the constant evolution of algorithms,data,and computing power,the increasing size and complexity of these models have led to increased training costs and reduced efficiency.This study aims to minimize the inference time of such models while maintaining computational performance.It also proposes a novel Distillation model for PAL-BERT(DPAL-BERT),specifically,employs knowledge distillation,using the PAL-BERT model as the teacher model to train two student models:DPAL-BERT-Bi and DPAL-BERTC.This research enhances the dataset through techniques such as masking,replacement,and n-gram sampling to optimize knowledge transfer.The experimental results showed that the distilled models greatly outperform models trained from scratch.In addition,although the distilled models exhibit a slight decrease in performance compared to PAL-BERT,they significantly reduce inference time to just 0.25%of the original.This demonstrates the effectiveness of the proposed approach in balancing model performance and efficiency.
