Spiteful, One-Off, And Kind: Predicting Customer Feedback Behavior On Twitter, Agus Sulistya, Abhishek Sharma, David Lo

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Social media provides a convenient way for customers to express their feedback to companies. Identifying different types of customers based on their feedback behavior can help companies to maintain their customers. In this paper, we use a machine learning approach to predict a customer’s feedback behavior based on her first feedback tweet. First, we identify a few categories of customers based on their feedback frequency and the sentiment of the feedback. We identify three main categories: spiteful, one-off, and kind. Next, we build a model to predict the category of a customer given her first feedback. We use profile and …

On Profiling Bots In Social Media, Richard J. Oentaryo, Arinto Murdopo, Philips K. Prasetyo, Ee Peng Lim

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

The popularity of social media platforms such as Twitter has led to the proliferation of automated bots, creating both opportunities and challenges in information dissemination, user engagements, and quality of services. Past works on profiling bots had been focused largely on malicious bots, with the assumption that these bots should be removed. In this work, however, we find many bots that are benign, and propose a new, broader categorization of bots based on their behaviors. This includes broadcast, consumption, and spam bots. To facilitate comprehensive analyses of bots and how they compare to human accounts, we develop a systematic profiling …

How Do Family Background And Self-Esteem Affect An Individual’S Perception Of Gender-Role Portrayal In Online Advertisements?, Cera T. Crowe, Aimee P. Meader Dr.

The Winthrop McNair Research Bulletin

The purpose of this study is to further understand the relationship of family background and how it affects self-esteem and the perception of gender roles in online imagery. This study focuses on how our history serves as a lens to see gender roles. The schema theory, created by Robert Axelrod, is a model suggesting that people have a “pre-existing assumption about the way the world is organized” (Axelford, 1974). Furthering this theory is Bem's (1981) Gender Schema Theory, which proposes that one's sexual self-concept affects how one structures items in memory. These theories, applied to the understood roles and activities …

Designing The Haptic Interface For Morse Code, Michael Walker

USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations

Two siblings have a muscular degenerative condition that has rendered them mostly blind, deaf and paraplegic. Currently, the siblings receive communication by close range sign language several feet in front of their vision. Due to the degenerative nature of their condition, it is believed that the siblings will eventually become completely blind and unable to communicate in this fashion. There are no augmented communication devices on the market that allow communication reception for individuals who cannot see, hear or possess hand dexterity (such as braille reading). To help the siblings communicate, the proposed communication device will transmit Morse code information …

College Health Care Providers’ Student-Centered Care, Cheryl Ann Lambert, Julie Donovan

The Qualitative Report

Patient care in the university setting is indelibly connected to college health care providers. College health care providers adapt to a specific set of circumstances unique to the university context in their patient care roles. The authors therefore sought to investigate the patient care phenomenon from college health care providers’ lived experiences. The patient care phenomenon was explored via in-depth interviews with 11 college health care providers at universities in the Midwest and Northeast regions of the United States. The phenomenological theoretical framework of the study revealed five themes of patient care during data analysis: health education, behavioral health, student …

Cloud Computing And Enterprise Data Reliability, Luan Gashi

UBT International Conference

Cloud services offer many benefits from information and communication technology that to be credible must first be secured. To use the potential of cloud computing, data is transferred, processed and stored in the infrastructures of these service providers. This indicates that the owners of data, particularly enterprises, have puzzled when storing their data is done outside the scope of their control.

Research conducted on this topic show how this should be addressed unequivocally. The provided information on the organization of cloud computing models, services and standards, with a focus on security aspects in protecting enterprise data where emphasis shows how …

Security Analysis Of Wireless Ban In E-Health, Romina Muka, Sule Yildrim-Yayilgan, Kozeta Sevrani

UBT International Conference

The Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN) has gained popularity as a new technology for e-Health, and is considered as one of the key research areas in computer science and healthcare applications. WBAN collects patients’ data, monitors constantly their physiological parameters, using small implantable or wearable sensors, and communicates these data using wireless communication techniques in short range. WBAN is playing a huge role in improving the quality of healthcare. Still, due to sensitive and concurrent nature of e-Heath systems, current research has showed that designers must take into considerations the security and privacy protection of the data collected by a …

Descriptive Analysis Of Characteristics: A Case Study Of A Phone Call Network Graph, Orgeta Gjermëni, Miftar Ramosaco

UBT International Conference

Nowadays, systematic collection of data has necessitated a detailed statistical analysis as a necessary tool to make a mathematical characterization of them with the purpose of gathering information about the present or the future. Our aim in this paper is to analyze a landline phone call network graph from the perspective of descriptive analysis. We explore the characteristics and structural properties of the network graph constructed using an anonymous collection of data gathered from a Call Data Records of a telecommunication operator center located in south of Albania. The R statistical computing platform is used for network graph analysis.

A Summary Of Classification And Regression Tree With Application, Adem Meta

UBT International Conference

Classification and regression tree (CART) is a non-parametric methodology that was introduced first by Breiman and colleagues in 1984. CART is a technique which divides populations into meaningful subgroups that allows the identification of groups of interest. CART as a classification method constructs decision trees. Depending on information that is available about the dataset, a classification tree or a regression tree can be constructed. The first part of this paper describes the fundamental principles of tree construction, pruning procedure and different splitting algorithms. The second part of the paper answers the questions why or why not the CART method should …

Development Of Airships Stratospheric Platform Systems (Sps), Dimov Stojce Ilcev

UBT International Conference

In this paper are introduced airships as part of new Stratospheric Platform System (SPS) in function of space communications. Airships are the latest space techniques with advanced technology for fixed and all mobile applications, including military and rural solutions. This SPS employ unmanned or manned, solar or fuel energy airships or aircraft carrying payloads with transponders and antennas. The airship SPS can be considered as a novel solution for providing communication and navigation services. The research and development of airships for putting the system in to practical use is ongoing in some countries. The remote controlled-solar powered airships or aircraft …

Improving Non-Native English Students’ Communicative Competence And Collaboration Skills Through Virtual Simulations, Alisa Sadiku

UBT International Conference

Knowing how to communicate in the target language is the main goal of most language learners. Furthermore, it is very challenging for teachers to bring real world communication experiences in classroom settings where English is not the native language. Hence, in this paper I explore the role of virtual simulations in promoting communicational and collaboration opportunities to non-native speakers of English. In my research, I describe how virtual worlds improve communicative and collaborative skills of non-native speakers of English. Moreover, I investigate how virtual worlds can create a learner centered environment where students take control of their own language production. …
