Automatic detection of media bias is an important and challenging problem. We propose to leverage user comments along with the content of the online news articles to automatically identify the latent aspects of a given news topic, as a first step of detecting the news resources that are biased towards a particular subset of such aspects.

Analyzing, Detecting, and Exploiting Sentiment in Web Queries
Chelaru, Sergiu; Altıngövde, İsmail Sengör; Siersdorfer, Stefan; Nejdl, Wolfgang (Association for Computing Machinery (ACM), 2013-12-01)
The Web contains an increasing amount of biased and opinionated documents on politics, products, and polarizing events. In this article, we present an indepth analysis of Web search queries for controversial topics, focusing on query sentiment. To this end, we conduct extensive user assessments and discriminative term analyses, as well as a sentiment analysis using the SentiWordNet thesaurus, a lexical resource containing sentiment annotations. Furthermore, in order to detect the sentiment expressed in quer...
IMPORTANCE OF THE SPATIAL DATA AND THE SENSOR WEB IN THE UBIQUITOUS COMPUTING AREA
Akcit, Nuhcan; Tomur, Emrah; Karslıoğlu, Mahmut Onur (2014-04-10)
Spatial data has become a critical issue in recent years. In the past years, nearly more than three quarters of databases, were related directly or indirectly to locations referring to physical features, which constitute the relevant aspects. Spatial data is necessary to identify or calculate the relationships between spatial objects when using spatial operators in programs or portals. Originally, calculations were conducted using Geographic Information System (GIS) programs on local computers. Subsequently...
SPR2EP: A Semi-Supervised Spam Review Detection Framework
Yılmaz, Cengiz (2018-08-31)
Authenticity and reliability of the information spread over the cyberspace is becoming increasingly important. This is especially important in e-commerce since potential customers check reviews and customer feedbacks online before making a purchasing decision. Although this information is easily accessible through related websites, lack of verification of the authenticity of these reviews raises concerns about their reliability. Besides, fraudulent users disseminate misinformation to deceive people into act...
The Hitchhiker's Guide to Bias and Fairness in Facial Affective Signal Processing: Overview and techniques
Cheong, Jiaee; Kalkan, Sinan; Gunes, Hatice (2021-11-01)
Given the increasing prevalence of facial analysis technology, the problem of bias in the tools is now becoming an even greater source of concern. Several studies have highlighted the pervasiveness of such discrimination, and many have sought to address the problem by proposing solutions to mitigate it. Despite this effort, to date, understanding, investigating, and mitigating bias for facial affect analysis remain an understudied problem. In this work we aim to provide a guide by 1) providing an overview o...
Effective feature reduction for link prediction in location-based social networks
Bayrak, Ahmet Engin; Polat, Faruk (SAGE Publications, 2019-10-01)
In this study, we investigated feature-based approaches for improving the link prediction performance for location-based social networks (LBSNs) and analysed their performances. We developed new features based on time, common friend detail and place category information of check-in data in order to make use of information in the data which cannot be utilised by the existing features from the literature. We proposed a feature selection method to determine a feature subset that enhances the prediction perform...
