Sarcasm detection method based on fusion of text semantics and social behavior information by Zhaoyang FU, Zhikai CHEN, Li PAN

“…Sarcasm is a complex implicit emotion that poses a significant challenge in sentiment analysis, particularly in social network sentiment analysis.Effective sarcasm detection holds immense practical significance in the analysis of network public opinion.The contradictory nature of sarcastic texts, which exhibit implicit semantics opposite to the real emotions of users, often leads to misclassification by traditional sentiment analysis methods.Moreover, sarcasm in daily communication is often conveyed through non-textual cues such as intonation and demeanor.Consequently, sarcasm detection methods solely relying on text semantics fail to incorporate non-textual information, thereby limiting their effectiveness.To leverage the power of text semantics and social behavior information, a sarcasm text detection method based on heterogeneous graph information fusion was proposed.The approach involved the construction of a heterogeneous information network encompassing users, texts, and emotional words.A graph neural network model was then designed to handle the representations of the heterogeneous graph.The model employed a dual-channel attention mechanism to extract social behavior information, captured the deep semantics of text through emotional subgraphs, and ultimately combined text semantics and social behavior information.Extensive experiments conducted on the Twitter dataset demonstrate the superiority of the proposed method over existing approaches for sarcasm text detection and classification.…”

Cloud edge end network resource allocation for thermostatically controlled load aggregation regulation by Yi LIU, Xin WU

“…Thermostatically controlled load is a flexible load that controls temperature regulation, such as air conditioning and electric water heaters.As a crucial demand side resource, flexible aggregation and regulation of load clusters can fully mobilize clean energy consumption capacity and ensure the balance between supply and demand of the power grid.Due to the common occurrence of thermostatically controlled loads in commercial office buildings and residential areas, a relatively stable control and transmission method can be adopted.Therefore, an efficient hierarchical transmission network is introduced to achieve data transmission and information interaction between loads and the power grid, and to flexibly, real-time, and accurately utilize the adjustable potential of load clusters.Firstly, an information interaction architecture of load IoT which structured “central cloud-edge cloud-regional load controller-thermostatically controlled load”was proposed.Then, for the “end edge”part, considering the requirements of different aggregation control tasks, an improved clustering algorithm was used to classify the tasks and reduce transmission overhead.For the “end-side” part, an improved clustering algorithm was used to optimize the transmission distance.For the edge-cloud collaboration part, a subchannel resource allocation algorithm was designed based on stable matching and water injection algorithms.The binary particle swarm optimization algorithm was used to solve the task upload decision problem.Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed model and algorithm is verified through simulation, and comparative experiments are also conducted.…”
