• 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.

  We propose a Sentiment-aware Interactive Fusion Network (SIFN) for review-based item recommendation.

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

• Sentiment Analysis of Users' Reviews on COVID-19 Contact Tracing Apps with a Benchmark Dataset [6.592595861973966]
  Contact tracing has been globally adopted in the fight to control the infection rate of COVID-19. Thanks to digital technologies, such as smartphones and wearable devices, contacts of COVID-19 patients can be easily traced and informed about their potential exposure to the virus. Several interesting mobile applications have been developed. However, there are ever-growing concerns over the working mechanism and performance of these applications. In this work, we propose a pipeline starting from manual annotation via a crowd-sourcing study and concluding on the development and training of AI models for automatic sentiment analysis of users' reviews.
