    Socio-Affective Computing 5 Erik Cambria Dipankar Das Sivaji Bandyopadhyay Antonio Feraco Editors A Practical Guide to Sentiment Analysis Socio-Affective Computing Volume 5 Series Editor Amir Hussain, University of Stirling, Stirling, UK Co-Editor Erik Cambria, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore This exciting Book Series aims to publish state-of-the-art research on socially intelligent, affective and multimodal human-machine interaction and systems. It will emphasize the role of affect in social interactions and the humanistic side of affective computing by promoting publications at the cross-roads between engineering and human sciences (including biological, social and cultural aspects of human life). Three broad domains of social and affective computing will be covered by the book series: (1) social computing, (2) affective computing, and (3) interplay of the first two domains (for example, augmenting social interaction through affective computing). Examples of the first domain will include but not limited to: all types of social interactions that contribute to the meaning, interest and richness of our daily life, for example, information produced by a group of people used to provide or enhance the functioning of a system. Examples of the second domain will include, but not limited to: computational and psychological models of emotions, bodily manifestations of affect (facial expressions, posture, behavior, physiology), and affective interfaces and applications (dialogue systems, games, learning etc.).

South Asia comprises of the countries- Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan and Sri Lanka. Southeast Asia, on the other hand, consists of Brunei, Burma, Cambodia, East Timor, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam. There thousands of languages that belong to different language families like Indo-Aryan, Indo- Iranian, Dravidian, Sino-Tibetan, Austro-Asiatic, Kradai, Hmong-Mien, etc. In terms of population, South Asia and Southeast Asia represent 34.94 percent of the total population of the world. Some of the languages of these regions have a large number of native speakers: Hindi (5th largest according to number of its native speakers), Bengali (6th), Punjabi (12th), Tamil (18th), Urdu (20th), etc. A characteristic of these languages is that they are under-resourced. But the words of these languages show rich variations in morphology. Moreover they are often heavily agglutinated and synthetic, making segmentation an important issue. The intellectual motivation for this workshop comes from the need to explore ways of harnessing the morphology of these Source (Lewis, 2009) languages for higher level processing.

  • Distributed Intra and Inter Cluster Chaining Framework for Energy-Efficient, Delay Bounded and Scalable Data Gathering Applications in Large Scale Sensor Network
    International Journal of Innovative Technology and Exploring Engineering (IJITEE) ISSN: 2278-3075, Volume-9 Issue-2, December 2019 Distributed Intra and Inter Cluster Chaining Framework for Energy-Efficient, Delay Bounded and Scalable Data Gathering Applications in Large Scale Sensor Network Biswanath Dey, Navajyoti Nath, Sivaji Bandyopadhyay, Sukumar Nandi Abstract: This paper proposes a scalable, energy-efficient and The key idea behind the inclusion of hierarchical routing scalable, energy efficient, delay bounded intra and inter cluster protocols is that these protocols impart high energy routing framework viz. GIICCF (Generalized Intra and Inter efficiency, higher scalability, and have effective data cluster chaining framework) for efficient data gathering in large scale wireless sensor networks. This approach extricates the aggregation mechanism. In the proposed approach, chaining benefits of both pure chain-based as well as pure cluster-based is done within the cluster as well as between CHs of different data gathering schemes in large scale Wireless Sensor Network clusters within the system. In the intra-cluster chain is formed (WSNs) without undermining with the drawbacks. GIICCF between the cluster nodes and CH, whereas in inter-cluster defines a localized energy-efficient chaining scheme among the chaining is performed within the CHs. This helps in member nodes within the cluster with bounded data delivery delay improving the efficiency of the protocols and converts into a to the respective cluster-heads (CH) as well as enables the CH to deliver data to the Base station (BS) following an energy-efficient more energy-efficient protocols with higher network multi-hop fashion. Detailed experimental analysis and simulation longevity.

  • Answer Validation Through Textual Entailment Synopsis
    Answer Validation through Textual Entailment THESIS SUBMITTED FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY (ENGINEERING) OF JADAVPUR UNIVERSITY BY PARTHA PAKRAY Department of Computer Science & Engineering Jadavpur University Kolkata 700032 UNDER THE ESTEEMED GUIDANCE OF PROF. (DR.) SIVAJI BANDYOPADHYAY & PROF. (DR.) ALEXANDER GELBUKH May, 2013 Answer Validation through Textual Entailment Synopsis 1. Introduction (Chapter 1) A Question Answering (QA) system is an automatic system capable of answering natural language questions in a human-like manner: with a short, accurate answer. A question answering system can be domain specific, which means that the topics of the questions are restricted. Often, this means simply that also the document collection, i.e., the corpus, in which the answer is searched, consists of texts discussing a specific field. This type of QA is easier, for the vocabulary is more predictable, and ontologies describing the domain are easier to construct. The other type of QA, open-domain question answering, deals with unrestricted topics. Hence, questions may concern any subject. The corpus may consist of unstructured or structured texts. Yet another way of classifying the field of QA deals with language. In monolingual QA both the questions and the corpus are in the same language. In cross- language QA the language of the questions (source language) is different from the language of the documents (target language). The question has to be translated in order to be able to perform the search. Multilingual systems deal with multiple target languages i.e., the corpus contains documents written in different languages. In multilingual QA, translation issues are thus central as well.

  • Named Entity Recognition for a Resource Poor Indo-Aryan Language
    Named Entity Recognition for a Resource Poor Indo-Aryan Language A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Padmaja Sharma Enrollment No. CSP-09006 Registration No. 059 of 2010 Department of Computer Science and Engineering School of Engineering, Tezpur University Tezpur, Assam, India - 784028 September, 2015 Dedicated to my P A R E N T S ii Abstract Named Entity Recognition which is a subfield of information extraction is one of the most important topics of Natural Language Processing. It is a process through which the machines understand the proper nouns in text and associates them with proper tags. NER has made significant progress in European languages, but in Indian languages due to the lack of proper resources, it is a challenging task. As natural language is a polysemous, ambiguity exists among the name references. Recognizing the ambiguity and assigning a proper tag to the names is the goal of NER. Thus NER is a two stage process i.e., identification of the proper nouns and the classification of these nouns into di↵erent classes such as person, location, organization and miscellaneous which includes date, time, year, etc. The main aim of our work is to develop a computational system that can perform NER in text in the Assamese language which is a resource poor Indo-Aryan language. Our thesis discusses the di↵erent issues related to NER in general and in Indian languages, along with the di↵erent approaches to NER. We discuss the di↵erent works carried out by di↵erent researchers in di↵erent Indian languages along with the datasets and the tagsets used by them.
