Water quality reliability based design of water distribution networks (2012)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Gupta, R., Hussain, A., & Bhave, P. R. (2012, May). Water quality reliability based design of water distribution networks. Presented at World Environmental And Water Resources Congress 2012, Albuquerque, New Mexico, United States

The performance of a water distribution network is affected by several factors, pipe failure being a major one of them. Several methodologies have been suggested for optimal design of water distribution networks (WDNs) to meet reliability criteria re...

Sentic PROMs: Application of sentic computing to the development of a novel unified framework for measuring health-care quality (2012)
Journal Article
Cambria, E., Benson, T., Eckl, C., & Hussain, A. (2012). Sentic PROMs: Application of sentic computing to the development of a novel unified framework for measuring health-care quality. Expert Systems with Applications, 39(12), 10533-10543. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.eswa.2012.02.120

Barriers to use health related quality of life measuring systems include the time needed to complete the forms and the need for staff to be trained to understand the results. An ideal system of health assessment needs to be clinically useful, timely,...

Isanette: A common and common sense knowledge base for opinion mining (2011)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Cambria, E., Song, Y., Wang, H., & Hussain, A. (2011). Isanette: A common and common sense knowledge base for opinion mining. In 2011 IEEE 11th International Conference on Data Mining Workshops (315-322). https://doi.org/10.1109/ICDMW.2011.106

The ability to understand natural language text is far from being emulated in machines. One of the main hurdles to overcome is that computers lack both the common and the common sense knowledge humans normally acquire during the formative years of th...

Sentic medoids: Organizing affective common sense knowledge in a multi-dimensional vector space (2011)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Cambria, E., Mazzocco, T., Hussain, A., & Eckl, C. (2011, May). Sentic medoids: Organizing affective common sense knowledge in a multi-dimensional vector space. Presented at ISNN 2011: 8th International Symposium on Neural Networks, Guilin, China

Existing approaches to opinion mining and sentiment analysis mainly rely on parts of text in which opinions and sentiments are explicitly expressed such as polarity terms and affect words. However, opinions and sentiments are often conveyed implicitl... Read More about Sentic medoids: Organizing affective common sense knowledge in a multi-dimensional vector space.
