Analysis of consumer reviews posted on social media is found to be essential for several business applications. Consumer reviews posted in social media are increasing at an exponential rate both in terms of number and relevance, which leads to big data. In this paper, a hybrid approach of two deep learning architectures namely Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) and Long Short Term Memory (LSTM) (RNN with memory) is suggested for sentiment classification of reviews posted at diverse domains. Deep convolutional networks have been highly effective in local feature selection, while recurrent networks (LSTM) often yield good results in the sequential analysis of a long text. The proposed Co-LSTM model is mainly aimed at two objectives in sentiment analysis. First, it is highly adaptable in examining big social data, keeping scalability in mind, and secondly, unlike the conventional machine learning approaches, it is free from any particular domain. The experiment has been carried out on four review datasets from diverse domains to train the model which can handle all kinds of dependencies that usually arises in a post. The experimental results show that the proposed ensemble model outperforms other machine learning approaches in terms of accuracy and other parameters.
Analyzing the structure of a social network helps in gaining insights into interactions and relationships among users while revealing the patterns of their online behavior. Network centrality is a ...metric of importance of a network node in a network, which allows revealing the structural patterns and morphology of networks. We propose a distributed computing approach for the calculation of network centrality value for each user using the MapReduce approach in the Hadoop platform, which allows faster and more efficient computation as compared to the conventional implementation. A distributed approach is scalable and helps in efficient computations of large-scale datasets, such as social network data. The proposed approach improves the calculation performance of degree centrality by 39.8%, closeness centrality by 40.7% and eigenvalue centrality by 41.1% using a Twitter dataset.
A microstrip line feed modified Sierpinski square fractal antenna for ultra-wide band (UWB) with band notch characteristics is presented. UWB operation (3.1–10.6 GHz) is achieved by increasing the ...numbers of iteration and rectangular grooved ground plane. The band rejection characteristic is realised by a ∩ -slot in the feed line. The proposed antenna has a volume 34 × 34 × 1.6 mm3 with a square shape structure and shows omnidirectional radiation patterns. The measurement results indicate that the antenna offers UWB operation and a notch at 5.5 GHz (5–6 GHz) for a reflection coefficient below −10 dB which covers the wireless local area network band. Acceptable agreement is obtained between the simulated and measured antenna performance parameters. These characteristics demonstrate that the proposed antenna is an attractive candidate for UWB applications.

In a social network, small or large communities within the network play a major role in deciding the functionalities of the network. Despite of diverse definitions, communities in the network may be ...defined as the group of nodes that are more densely connected as compared to nodes outside the group. Revealing such hidden communities is one of the challenging research problems. A real world social network follows small world phenomena, which indicates that any two social entities can be reachable in a small number of steps. In this paper, nodes are mapped into communities based on the random walk in the network. However, uncovering communities in large-scale networks is a challenging task due to its unprecedented growth in the size of social networks. A good number of community detection algorithms based on random walk exist in literature. In addition, when large-scale social networks are being considered, these algorithms are observed to take considerably longer time. In this work, with an objective to improve the efficiency of algorithms, parallel programming framework like Map-Reduce has been considered for uncovering the hidden communities in social network. The proposed approach has been compared with some standard existing community detection algorithms for both synthetic and real-world datasets in order to examine its performance, and it is observed that the proposed algorithm is more efficient than the existing ones.
