Intelligent opinion mining and sentiment analysis using artificial neural networks
The article formulates a rigorously developed concept of opinion mining and sentiment analysis using hybrid neural networks. This conceptual method for processing natural-language text enables a variety of analyses of the subjective content of texts. It is a methodology based on hybrid neural networks for detecting subjective content and potential opinions, as well as a method which allows us to classify different opinion type and sentiment score classes. Moreover, a general processing scheme, using neural networks, for sentiment and opinion analysis has been presented. Furthermore, a methodology which allows us to determine sentiment regression has been devised. The paper proposes a method for classification of the text being examined based on the amount of positive, neutral or negative opinion it contains. The research presented here offers the possibility of motivating and inspiring further development of the methods that have been elaborated in this paper.Stuart, KDC.; Majewski, M. (2015).

On the role of pre and post-processing in environmental data mining
The quality of discovered knowledge is highly depending on data quality. Unfortunately real data use to contain noise, uncertainty, errors, redundancies or even irrelevant information. The more complex is the reality to be analyzed, the higher the risk of getting low quality data. Knowledge Discovery from Databases (KDD) offers a global framework to prepare data in the right form to perform correct analyses. On the other hand, the quality of decisions taken upon KDD results, depend not only on the quality of the results themselves, but on the capacity of the system to communicate those results in an understandable form. Environmental systems are particularly complex and environmental users particularly require clarity in their results. In this paper some details about how this can be achieved are provided. The role of the pre and post processing in the whole process of Knowledge Discovery in environmental systems is discussed
Splitting hybrid Make-To-Order and Make-To-Stock demand profiles
In this paper a demand time series is analysed to support Make-To-Stock (MTS)
and Make-To-Order (MTO) production decisions. Using a purely MTS production
strategy based on the given demand can lead to unnecessarily high inventory
levels thus it is necessary to identify likely MTO episodes.
This research proposes a novel outlier detection algorithm based on special
density measures. We divide the time series' histogram into three clusters. One
with frequent-low volume covers MTS items whilst a second accounts for high
volumes which is dedicated to MTO items. The third cluster resides between the
previous two with its elements being assigned to either the MTO or MTS class.
The algorithm can be applied to a variety of time series such as stationary and
non-stationary ones.
We use empirical data from manufacturing to study the extent of inventory
savings. The percentage of MTO items is reflected in the inventory savings
which were shown to be an average of 18.1%.Comment: demand analysis; time series; outlier detection; production strategy;

A systematic review of data quality issues in knowledge discovery tasks
Hay un gran crecimiento en el volumen de datos porque las organizaciones capturan permanentemente la cantidad colectiva de datos para lograr un mejor proceso de toma de decisiones. El desafĂo mas fundamental es la exploraciĂłn de los grandes volĂșmenes de datos y la extracciĂłn de conocimiento Ăștil para futuras acciones por medio de tareas para el descubrimiento del conocimiento; sin embargo, muchos datos presentan mala calidad. Presentamos una revisiĂłn sistemĂĄtica de los asuntos de calidad de datos en las ĂĄreas del descubrimiento de conocimiento y un estudio de caso aplicado a la enfermedad agrĂcola conocida como la roya del cafĂ©.Large volume of data is growing because the organizations are continuously capturing the collective amount of data for better decision-making process. The most fundamental challenge is to explore the large volumes of data and extract useful knowledge for future actions through knowledge discovery tasks, nevertheless many data has poor quality. We presented a systematic review of the data quality issues in knowledge discovery tasks and a case study applied to agricultural disease named coffee rust
Experiences in Mining Educational Data to Analyze Teacher's Performance: A Case Study with High Educational Teachers
Educational Data Mining (EDM) is a new paradigm aiming to mine and extract
knowledge necessary to optimize the effectiveness of teaching process. With normal
educational system work itâs often unlikely to accomplish fine system optimizing due to
large amount of data being collected and tangled throughout the system. EDM resolves
this problem by its capability to mine and explore these raw data and as a consequence of
extracting knowledge. This paper describes several experiments on real educational data
wherein the effectiveness of Data Mining is explained in migration the educational data
into knowledge. The experiments goal at first to identify important factors of teacher
behaviors influencing student satisfaction. In addition to presenting experiences gained
through the experiments, the paper aims to provide practical guidance of Data Mining
solutions in a real application
The Requirements for Ontologies in Medical Data Integration: A Case Study
Evidence-based medicine is critically dependent on three sources of
information: a medical knowledge base, the patients medical record and
knowledge of available resources, including where appropriate, clinical
protocols. Patient data is often scattered in a variety of databases and may,
in a distributed model, be held across several disparate repositories.
Consequently addressing the needs of an evidence-based medicine community
presents issues of biomedical data integration, clinical interpretation and
knowledge management. This paper outlines how the Health-e-Child project has
approached the challenge of requirements specification for (bio-) medical data
integration, from the level of cellular data, through disease to that of
patient and population. The approach is illuminated through the requirements
elicitation and analysis of Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA), one of three
diseases being studied in the EC-funded Health-e-Child project.Comment: 6 pages, 1 figure. Presented at the 11th International Database

Understanding Opportunities in Social Entrepreneurship: A Critical Realist Abstraction
The file attached to this record is the author's final peer reviewed version. The Publisher's final version can be found by following the DOI link.This paper extends social entrepreneurship (SE) research by drawing upon a critical realist perspective to analyse dynamic structure/agency relations in SE opportunity emergence, illustrated by empirical evidence. Our findings demonstrate an agential aspect (opportunity actualisation following a path-dependent seeding-growing-shaping process) and a structural aspect (institutional, cognitive and embedded structures necessary for SE opportunity emergence) related to SE opportunities. These structures provide three boundary conditions for SE agency: institutional discrimination, an SE belief system and social feasibility. Within this paper, we develop a novel theoretical framework to analyse SE opportunities plus, an applicable tool to advance related empirical research
