Text mining has emerged as one of the most important data processing activities over the last few decades. While it makes the life of millions of everyday users of digital plat- forms and applications much easier, it is a domain that also challenges researchers in numerous ways. The challenges are many fold - ranging from the volume of the data that needs to be processed, storage issues, language identi¿cation challenges and many more. The work in this thesis focuses on one particular aspect of text mining e.g. Key- word identi¿cation for a document. While this may seem to be quite a trivial activity for short passages, it is quite dif¿cult to successfully identify keywords for extremely long text documents. Doing so using an automated systems only adds to the challenge. Everyone in today's world understands the importance of data. In the context of business, data is used to analyze market trends or can be used to understand customer needs. It also helps to understand the user's perspectives and choices. There are var-ious ways that data plays a crucial role in our everyday lives. Most businesses would be bound to fail if they could not comprehend the data that was available. This data could vary from stock indices, to customer feedback, to worker sentiments and numerous other insights. Analyzing data also helps in advertisement noti¿cations or to suggest a piece of relevant information to the user. It also helps to understand the likes and dislikes of a user. It can make for a world with a better user experience in terms of an individuals needs, e.g., if a user is more interested in cricket, we can provide targeted insight to the user about cricket. A customized user experience for a user is more at- tractive than a bland user experience which is homogeneous for everyone. Everyone's needs are different from others as everyone has different perspectives and opinions. We offered examples of keyword extraction, the challenges involved and the major issues faced by designers of keyword extraction algorithms. Finally about some common application areas where keyword extraction is being used in real life scenarios. Attracting users and providing them with better services through relevant data also helps the system to understand the users' needs. A user consciously or unknowingly provides his information for use in business or expresses his views on various platforms. If a user expresses some political opinions, it helps us to tailor his experience better the next time he uses the system.
The general format of this book is I'll start with each concept, explaining it in a bunch of sections and graphical examples. I will introduce you to some of the notations and fancy terminologies that data scientists like to use so you can talk the same language, but the concepts themselves are generally pretty simple. After that, I'll throw you into some actual Python code that actually works that we can run and mess around with, and that will show you how to actually apply these ideas to actual data.
When you enter the world of time series analysis, you step into a labyrinth of numerical patterns, where each turn you take unveils another layer of complexity. Here, simple mathematical or statistical models struggle to keep pace.Reality is riddled with complex patterns in time series data, which, like cryptic pieces of a jigsaw puzzle, hold the key to unraveling insightful predictions. These complex patterns include non-linearity, non-stationarity, long memory or dependence, asymmetry, and stochasticity.But what creates these intricate patterns? Raghurami Reddy Etukuru, Ph.D., a distinguished and adaptable specialist in data science and artificial intelligence, delves into that question in this groundbreaking book, explaining that the factors are numerous and multifaceted, each adding their own measure of challenge. He doesn't just discuss problems but also addresses the forecasting of time series amidst intricate patterns.Take a deep dive deep into the world of numbers and patterns, so you can unravel complexities and leverage the power of artificial intelligence to enhance predictive capabilities. More than just a theoretical guide, this book is a practical companion in the often-turbulent journey of understanding and predicting complex time series data.

Prior to the events of February 2022, political interference was one of the most significant challenges in Russia-West relations. These proceedings reflect a series of discussions among U.S., Russian, and European Union nongovernmental experts who were convened in 2020-2021 to discuss mutual concerns regarding political interference and to find common ground on measures to address them. Even before February 2022, the European Union, the United States, and Russia had divergent interests, values, and worldviews, as well as significant mutual grievances. Despite these divergences and grievances, the assembled experts came to the view that all parties would have benefited from the establishment of mutually agreed-upon measures to mitigate the destabilizing impacts of political interference. In a text agreed on in January 2022, the expert group proposed the following measures: (1) increase transparency regarding interpretations of prohibited interference, (2) enhance dialogue on interference, (3) establish self-restraint commitments (regarding election-related infrastructure and hack-and-leak operations), (4) develop technical measures to demonstrate compliance with self-restraint commitments, (5) create guidelines to limit cross-border manipulation of social media, (6) relax restrictions on foreign broadcasters, and (7) formulate declarations of intent not to interfere.

The purpose of training and education in the United States Department of the Air Force (DAF) is to develop and sustain mission-critical knowledge, skills, and abilities (KSAs) among airmen, guardians, and civilians. The DAF must deliver effective training and education to fully use its human capital, provide warfighting assets to combatant commanders, and maintain asymmetric advantage over competitors. Yet training and education is costly. A recent budget request included more than $2 billion for training and education, and recent guidance has highlighted that the U.S. Air Force must transform all facets of training and education to field a highly capable force in an affordable manner. This report focuses on computational cognitive models, a class of training technologies with transformative potential. Computational cognitive models emulate psychological processes like knowledge acquisition and retention. These models have been used to develop empirically grounded training curricula and deliver personalized training in diverse domains. The primary benefits of using these models to deliver personalized training are enhanced learning gains and reduced training time. This report explores the feasibility of applying computational cognitive models to the acquisition and sustainment of mission-critical KSAs, with emphasis on second-language learning. The authors affirm that cognitive models can be integrated with training curricula in a variety of ways, and each of these potential courses of action (COAs) presents different levels of benefits along with different technical and logistical challenges.

The identification and interpretation of adverse event root cause is a critical function supporting the development of appropriate corrective actions in high-risk industries. Aviation Human Factors (HF) professionals are interested in identifying events caused by human error in aircraft and engine assembly and maintenance to develop solutions to systemic issues. Current event classification methods are heavily dependent on manual review of report narratives, which presents an opportunity to explore automated techniques using data science (DS), rule-based classification, and machine learning (ML). In this study, automated classification models were developed, combined, and compared, using multiple event report fields as model inputs. Based on the determination that event narratives are the most valuable source of root cause information, natural language processing (NLP) and feature engineering methods were explored to identify patterns in human language associated with error causal factors.
