Sentiment analysis techniques are increasingly exploited to categorize the opinion text to one or more predefined sentiment classes for the creation and automated maintenance of review-aggregation websites. In this paper, a Malay sentiment analysis classification model is proposed to improve classification performances based on the semantic orientation and machine learning approaches. First, a total of 2,478 Malay sentiment-lexicon phrases and words are assigned with a synonym and stored with the help of more than one Malay native speaker, and the polarity is manually allotted with a score. In addition, the supervised machine learning approaches and lexicon knowledge method are combined for Malay sentiment classification with evaluating thirteen features. Finally, three individual classifiers and a combined classifier are used to evaluate the classification accuracy. In experimental results, a wide-range of comparative experiments is conducted on a Malay Reviews Corpus (MRC), and it demonstrates that the feature extraction improves the performance of Malay sentiment analysis based on the combined classification. However, the results depend on three factors, the features, the number of features and the classification approach.

Handwriting recognition refers to recognizing a handwritten input that includes character(s) or digit(s) based on an image. Because most applications of handwriting recognition in real life contain sequential text in various languages, there is a need to develop a dynamic handwriting recognition system. Inspired by the neuroevolutionary technique, this paper proposes a Dynamically Configurable Convolutional Recurrent Neural Network (DC-CRNN) for the handwriting recognition sequence modeling task. The proposed DC-CRNN is based on the Salp Swarm Optimization Algorithm (SSA), which generates the optimal structure and hyperparameters for Convolutional Recurrent Neural Networks (CRNNs). In addition, we investigate two types of encoding techniques used to translate the output of optimization to a CRNN recognizer. Finally, we proposed a novel hybridized SSA with Late Acceptance Hill-Climbing (LAHC) to improve the exploitation process. We conducted our experiments on two well-known datasets, IAM and IFN/ENIT, which include both the Arabic and English languages. The experimental results have shown that LAHC significantly improves the SSA search process. Therefore, the proposed DC-CRNN outperforms the handcrafted CRNN methods.

Online social media is used to show the sentiments of different individuals about various subjects. Sentiment analysis or opinion mining has recently been considered as one of the highly dynamic research fields in natural language processing, Web mining, and machine learning. There has been a very limited amount of research that focuses on sentiment analysis in the Malay language. This study investigates how feature selection methods contribute to the improvement of Malay sentiment classification performance. Three supervised machine-learning classifiers and seven feature selection methods are used to conduct a series of experiments for the effective selection of the appropriate methods for the automatic sentiment classification of online Malay-written reviews. Findings show that the classifications of Malay sentiment improve using feature selections approaches. This work demonstrates that all feature reduction methods generally improve classifier performance. Support Vector Machine (SVM) approach provide the highest accuracy performance of features selection in order to classify Malay sentiment comparing with other classifications approaches such as PCA and CHI square. SVM records 87% as experimental accuracy result of feature selection.

Indoor localization is a dynamic and exciting research area. WiFi has exhibited a tremendous capability for internal localization since it is extensively used and easily accessible. Facilitating the use of WiFi for this purpose requires fingerprint formation and the implementation of a learning algorithm with the aim of using the fingerprint to determine locations. The most difficult aspect of techniques based on fingerprints is the effect of dynamic environmental changes on fingerprint authentication. With the aim of dealing with this problem, many experts have adopted transfer-learning methods, even though in WiFi indoor localization the dynamic quality of the change in the fingerprint has some cyclic factors that necessitate the use of previous knowledge in various situations. Thus, this paper presents the maximum feature adaptive online sequential extreme learning machine (MFA-OSELM) technique, which uses previous knowledge to handle the cyclic dynamic factors that are brought about by the issue of mobility, which is present in internal environments. This research extends the earlier study of the feature adaptive online sequential extreme learning machine (FA-OSELM). The results of this research demonstrate that MFA-OSELM is superior to FA-OSELM given its capacity to preserve previous data when a person goes back to locations that he/she had visited earlier. Also, there is always a positive accuracy change when using MFA-OSELM, with the best change achieved being 27% (ranging from eight to 27% and six to 18% for the TampereU and UJIIndoorLoc datasets, respectively), which proves the efficiency of MFA-OSELM in restoring previous knowledge.

Online learning is the capability of a machine-learning model to update knowledge without retraining the system when new, labeled data becomes available. Good online learning performance can be achieved through the ability to handle changing features and preserve existing knowledge for future use. This can occur in different real world applications such as Wi-Fi localization and intrusion detection. In this study, we generated a cyclic dynamic generator (CDG), which we used to convert an existing dataset into a time series dataset with cyclic and changing features. Furthermore, we developed the infinite-term memory online sequential extreme learning machine (ITM-OSELM) on the basis of the feature-adaptive online sequential extreme learning machine (FA-OSELM) transfer learning, which incorporates an external memory to preserve old knowledge. This model was compared to the FA-OSELM and online sequential extreme learning machine (OSELM) on the basis of data generated from the CDG using three datasets: UJIndoorLoc, TampereU, and KDD 99. Results corroborate that the ITM-OSELM is superior to the FA-OSELM and OSELM using a statistical t-test. In addition, the accuracy of ITM-OSELM was 91.69% while the accuracy of FA-OSELM and OSELM was 24.39% and 19.56%, respectively.
