The exponential growth of the internet and a multi-fold increase in social media users in the last decade have resulted in a massive growth of unstructured data. Aspect-Based Sentiment Analysis (ABSA) is challenging because it performs a fine-grain analysis; it is a text analysis technique where the opinions group is based on the aspect. The Aspect Extraction (AE) task is one of the core subtasks of ABSA; it helps to identify aspect terms in the text, comments, or reviews. The challenge of the Arabic AE task increases due to the complexity of the Arabic language. This work aims to develop the Arabic AE task by proposing transfer learning using State-of-art pre-trained contextual language models. We concatenate the Bidirectional Encoder Representation from Transformers (BERT) language model and contextualize string embedding (Flair embedding) as a stacked embeddings layer for better word representation for Arabic language. Then, we extend it with different deep learning network architectures. For Arabic AE, the model is developed by concatenating the Arabic contextual language model, AraBERT, and Flair embedding as a contextual stacked embeddings layer with an extended layer, BiLSTM-CRF or BiGRU-CRF, for sequence labeling. Our proposed models are called BF-BiLSTM-CRF and BF-BiGRU-CRF. The proposed model is evaluated using the Arabic Hotel's reviews dataset. For performance evaluation, we used the F1 score. The experimental results show that the proposed BF-BiLSTM-CRF configuration outperformed the baseline and other models by achieving an F1score of 79.7%.

Various studies have shown that both hardware and software are subject to failures. However, the majority of the existing works have dealt with the problem by considering that either software is faultfree but hardware is subject to failure, or hardware is fault-free but software is subject to failure. Thus, techniques for dealing with both software and hardware faults must be developed.In this work, we propose an efficient integrated fault-tolerant approach for ultrareliable execution of tasks where both hardware and software failures, and on-line fault diagnosis are considered. The proposed approach called the Integrated FaultTolerant (IFT) approach. We also propose a scheduling algorithm called the Integrated FaultTolerant Scheduling (IFTS) algorithm based on the IFT technique.
