Undergraduate and Graduate English Majors’ Attitudes toward Native and Non- Native English Accents and Their Role in Identity Formation (Accepted in the 19th Volume of Spectrum, Journal of Department of English, University of Dhaka)

This study examines the attitudes of undergraduate and graduate English majors toward ‘native’

and ‘non-native’ English accents and explores how these attitudes influence their identity

formation. It aims to determine participants’ perceptions of the status and importance of different

English accents, their self-assessment of their own accent, and the relationship between accent

and identity. Employing an explanatory sequential mixed-methods approach, the study integrates

a questionnaire administered to 105 students (54 first-year undergraduates and 51 M.A. graduates)

at a public university in Bangladesh, complemented by focus group discussions analysed through

grounded theory of the constructivist design. Quantitative data are analysed using descriptive

statistics and Levene’s t-test to identify differences between the two groups of participants, while

qualitative data are examined through manual coding. Findings show that participants generally

reject the notion of a ‘native’ English accent as the definitive ideal and do not regard a ‘non-

native’ English accent as inferior. Nevertheless, quantitative data indicate that participants

perceive a ‘native’ English accent as socially prestigious, suggesting a desire to acquire it.

Qualitative discussions reveal deeper power dynamics rooted in colonial history, with participants

expressing a preference for developing a 'standard regional accent' that preserves their linguistic

heritage and aligns with local vocal norms, rather than aspiring to emulate a 'native’ English

accent.

Threat and abusive language detection on social media in Bengali language

Abstract:
Threat and abusive languages spread quickly through social media which can be controlled if we can detect and remove them. Since there exist many social media like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram etc and a huge number of social media users, we need a robust and effective automatic system to identify threat and abusive languages. In our proposed system Machine Learning and Natural Language Processing techniques have been implemented to build an automatic system. Previous research on Bengali abusive language detection used Multinomial Näıve Bayes (MNB), Support Vector Machine(SVM) algorithms and considered Bengali Unicode characters to build their system. We considered both Unicode emoticons and Unicode Bengali characters as valid input in our proposed system. Besides MNB and SVM algorithm, we implemented Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) with Long Short Term Memory(LSTM). Among three algorithms, SVM with linear kernel performed best with 78% accuracy.

The Challenges and Approaches during the Detection of Cyberbullying Text for Low-resource Language: A Literature Review

Abstract:

Article information: Objective: The primary intent of this paper is to review related studies that are more corresponding to the detection of five variants of cyberbullying text, such as abusive, hateful, aggressive, bully, and toxic comments or texts of Bengali language as a sample of low-resource language, to gain a comprehensive understanding of the challenges and state-of-the-art approaches used to identify these types of text. Materials: We have searched the associated articles on cyberbullying text detection in the Bengali language published from 2017 to July 2021 since there was no research being detected before the year 2017 on this domain-specific paradigm. After that, we scrutinize the different levels of aspects by inspecting the title, abstract, and entire text to enlist the subsequent research in this review study. Results: After applying different levels of filtering, from the initial search results, 28 domain-centric papers are considered out of 2,745 documents. At first, we deeply analyze the context of each study and then narrate a clear comparative review in case of research challenges and approaches, as well as providing the direction for the future work on the road to the detection of cyberbullying text for the Bengali language. Conclusion: In this paper, we discuss five variants of cyberbullying text, such as abusive text, hateful speech, aggressive text, bully text, and toxic comments over the web, and their detection process by studying existing literature in this domain. We present advice on dataset preparation, pre-process and feature extraction tasks, and classier selection that may aid in comprehensive research for better detection.

Opinion Mining: Is Feature Engineering Still Relevant?

Abstract:

This paper manifests the experimentation with sentiment polarity detection over Stanford's IMDB movie review dataset using a Support Vector Machine classifier (SVM). Our prime motivation was to find out the best possible combinations of classic features and preprocessing techniques for the classification of positive and negative opinions. We also explored two variants of kernels with numerous parameter settings for the classifier in the hope of getting the best SVM model. Our best model achieved an accuracy score of 85.45%. The results indicate that a model with a non-linear Radial Basis Function (RBF) kernel leads to the highest accuracy. The features that contributed the most are stemmed word n-grams.

Automatic Regression Parameter Selection: A Divide and Conquer based Approach

Manually selection of optimal hyper parameter in regression (Lass, Ridge, Elastic net) is time consuming as well as error prone. In this work we introduce "divide and conquer" based approach here to select hyper parameter automatically and efficiently.
