- Students’ feedback assessment became a hot topic in recent years with growing e-learning platforms coupled with an ongoing pandemic outbreak. Many higher education institutes were compelled to shift on-campus physical classes to online mode, utilizing various online teaching tools and massive open online courses (MOOCs). For many institutes, including both teachers and students, it was a unique and challenging experience conducting lectures and taking classes online. Therefore, analyzing students’ feedback in this crucial time is inevitable for effective teaching and monitoring learning outcomes. Thus, in this paper, we propose and conduct a study to evaluate various machine learning models for aspect-based opinion mining to address this challenge effectively. The proposed approach is trained and validated on a large-scale dataset consisting of manually labeled students’ comments collected from the Coursera online platform. Various conventional machine learning algorithms, namely Random Forest (RF), Support Vector Machine (SVM), and Decision Tree (DT), along with deep-learning methods, are employed to identify teaching-related aspects and predict opinions/attitudes of students towards those aspects. The obtained results are very promising, with an F1 score of 98.01% and 99.43% achieved from RF on the aspect identification and the aspect sentiment classification task, respectively.

- In recent years, significant progress has been made in text generation. The latest text generation models are revolutionizing the domain by generating human-like text. It has gained wide popularity recently in many domains like news, social networks, movie scriptwriting, and poetry composition, to name a few. The application of text generation in various fields has resulted in a lot of interest from the scientific community in this area. To the best of our knowledge, there is a lack of extensive review and an up-to-date body of knowledge of text generation deep learning models. Therefore, this survey aims to bring together all the relevant work in a systematic mapping study highlighting key contributions from various researchers over the years, focusing on the past, present, and future trends. In this work, we have identified 90 primary studies from 2015 to 2021 employing the PRISMA framework. We also identified research gaps that are further needed to be explored by the research community. In the end, we provide some future directions for researchers and guidelines for practitioners based on the findings of this review.

- Data imbalance in datasets is a common issue where the number of instances in one or more categories far exceeds the others, so is the case with the educational domain. Collecting feedback on a course on a large scale and the lack of publicly available datasets in this domain limits models' performance, especially for deep neural network based models which are data hungry. A model trained on such an imbalanced dataset would naturally favor the majority class. However, the minority class could be critical for decision-making in prediction systems, and therefore it is usually desirable to train a model with equally high class-level accuracy. This paper addresses the data imbalance issue for the sentiment analysis of users' opinions task on two educational feedback datasets utilizing synthetic text generation deep learning models. Two state-of-the-art text generation GAN models namely CatGAN and SentiGAN, are employed for synthesizing text used to balance the highly imbalanced datasets in this study. Particular emphasis is given to the diversity of synthetically generated samples for populating minority classes. Experimental results on highly imbalanced datasets show significant improvement in models' performance on CR23K and CR100K after balancing with synthetic data for the sentiment classification task.

Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Automatic text-based sentiment analysis and emotion detection on social media platforms has gained tremendous popularity recently due to its widespread application reach, despite the unavailability of a massive amount of labeled datasets. With social media platforms in the limelight in recent years, it’s easier for people to express their opinions and reach a larger target audience via Twitter and Facebook. Large tweet postings provide researchers with much data to train deep learning models for analysis and predictions for various applications. However, deep learning-based supervised learning is data-hungry and relies heavily on abundant labeled data, which remains a challenge. To address this issue, we have created a large-scale labeled emotion dataset of 1.83 million tweets by harnessing emotion-indicative emojis available in tweets. We conducted a set of experiments on our distant-supervised labeled dataset using conventional machine learning and deep learning models for estimating sentiment polarity and multi-class emotion detection. Our experimental results revealed that deep neural networks such as BiLSTM and CNN-BiLSTM outperform other models in both sentiment polarity and multi-class emotion classification tasks achieving an F1 score of 62.21% and 39.46%, respectively, an average performance improvement of nearly 2–3 percentage points on the baseline results.

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- With the rapid advancement in healthcare, there has been exponential growth in the healthcare records stored in large databases to help researchers, clinicians, and medical practitioner’s for optimal patient care, research, and trials. Since these studies and records are lengthy and time consuming for clinicians and medical practitioners, there is a demand for new, fast, and intelligent medical information retrieval methods. The present study is a part of the project which aims to design an intelligent medical information retrieval and summarization system. The whole system comprises three main modules, namely adverse drug event classification (ADEC), medical named entity recognition (MNER), and multi-model text summarization (MMTS). In the current study, we are presenting the design of the ADEC module for classification tasks, where basic machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) techniques, such as logistic regression (LR), decision tree (DT), and text-based convolutional neural network (TextCNN) are employed. In order to perform the extraction of features from the text data, TF-IDF and Word2Vec models are employed. To achieve the best performance of the overall system for efficient information retrieval and summarization, an ensemble strategy is employed, where predictions of the selected base models are integrated to boost the robustness of one model. The performance results of all the models are recorded as promising. TextCNN, with an accuracy of 89%, performs better than the conventional machine learning approaches, i.e., LR and DT with accuracies of 85% and 77%, respectively. Furthermore, the proposed TextCNN outperforms the existing adverse drug event classification approaches, achieving precision, recall, and an F1 score of 87%, 91%, and 89%, respectively.
