• Abstract summary: This study analyzes app reviews of the Uber mobile application (a popular taxi/ride app) We propose a novel approach that leverages a knowledge graph (KG) model to extract software requirements from app reviews. Our framework consists of three main components: developing an ontology with relevant entities and relations, extracting key entities from app reviews, and creating connections between them.

• Abstract: As mobile applications become increasingly integral to our daily lives, concerns about ethics have grown drastically. Users share their experiences, report bugs, and request new features in application reviews, often highlighting safety, privacy, and accountability concerns. Approaches using machine learning techniques have been used in the past to identify these ethical concerns. However, understanding the underlying reasons behind them and extracting requirements that could address these concerns is crucial for safer software solution development. Thus, we propose a novel approach that leverages a knowledge graph (KG) model to extract software requirements from app reviews, capturing contextual data related to ethical concerns. Our framework consists of three main components: developing an ontology with relevant entities and relations, extracting key entities from app reviews, and creating connections between them. This study analyzes app reviews of the Uber mobile application (a popular taxi/ride app) and presents the preliminary results from the proposed solution. Initial results show that KG can effectively capture contextual data related to software ethical concerns, the underlying reasons behind these concerns, and the corresponding potential requirements.

• Beyond Keywords: A Context-based Hybrid Approach to Mining Ethical Concern-related App Reviews [0.0]
  App reviews related to ethical concerns generally use domain-specific language and are expressed using a more varied vocabulary. This study proposes a novel Natural Language Processing (NLI) based approach that combines Natural Language Inference (NLI) and a decoder-only (LLaMA-like) Large Language Model (LLM) to extract ethical concern-related app reviews at scale.

  We introduce Ethical-Lens, a framework designed to facilitate the value-aligned usage of text-to-image tools. Ethical-Lens ensures value alignment in text-to-image models across toxicity and bias dimensions. Our experiments reveal that Ethical-Lens enhances alignment capabilities to levels comparable with or superior to commercial models.

  App store reviews allow practitioners to collect users' perspectives, crucial for identifying software flaws. We collected five million user reviews, developed a set of ethical concerns representative of user preferences, and manually labeled a sample of these reviews. We found that users highly report ethical concerns about censorship, identity theft, and safety.

Then, we propose a sentiment prediction task that guides the sentiment learner to extract sentiment-aware features via explicit sentiment labels.
