Attending the 14^th IEEE International Conference on Knowledge and Systems Engineering (KSE 2022) and the 36^th Asia Pacific Conference on Languages, Information, and Computing (PACLIC 2022), accomplished undergraduate and postgraduate student authors from the Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science of VNUHCM-University of Science have achieved excellent results.

1. “Runner-up Best Paper Award” at KSE 2022

• Subject article: “A New Approach for Vietnamese Aspect-Based Sentiment Analysis.”
• Team members: Lê Hoàng Bảo, Nguyễn Minh Hoàng, and Nguyễn Kiều Phương Nhi.
• Instructor: Nguyễn Thanh Bình
• Description of the article:

The service industry is playing a vital role in our lives, especially at a time when everything is more online. Manufacturers are also among them, especially in sectors related to online product sales – where they constantly receive customer feedback. Understanding that factor, the group of students, based on the provided data, optimised the results, from which they came up with a more effective predictive model than the previous algorithms to evaluate the overall content (products purchased) to more detail the emotional levels (satisfied, neutral, or unsatisfied). In addition to providing a general solution, the research team also sets out goals and directions for the future to help the problem achieve better results.

KSE is the most prestigious scientific conference in Viet Nam in information technology, held annually since 2008 in Japan and Thailand. The conference is technically sponsored by the world’s leading scientific and technical organisation, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), and accepted for publication on IEEE Xplore, a highly reputable electronic library system, that has well-represented references and citations in many studies in the fields of electronic technology and computer science. This year, KSE 2022 is organized by the University of the Pacific and the University of Technology (Viet Nam National University, Ha Noi) from October 19^th  to October 21^st  in Nha Trang, with the participation of 60 presentations from nearly 100 national and international scientists and researchers.

2. Award “The 1st Runner-Up Best Paper Award in Computing” at PACLIC 2022

• Article titled: “SEND: A simple and efficient noise detection algorithm for Vietnamese real estate posts.”
• Team members: Lê Hoàng Bảo, Nguyễn Minh Hoàng, Lê Huy Hoàng (Student of Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science), Huỳnh Thanh Sơn (Master of Science in Data Science)
• Instructor: Nguyễn Thanh Bình
• Description of the article:

Advertising information about online products (e-commerce, real estate, etc.) is increasingly popular in Viet Nam. The article presents simple and practical approaches to classifying helpful information on online advertising sites. The experimental results of the paper achieve high efficiency compared to previous methods.

The 36^th Annual Meeting of the Asia Pacific Conference on Languages, Information, and Computation (PACLIC 36) is one of the most prestigious international conferences (rank B – CORE) in the field of processing natural languages and was held in the Philippines from October 20^th  to October 22^nd, 2022. This 3-day conference was co-hosted by De La Salle University (Manila, Philippines), College of Computer and Information Technologies (CCIT), Manlia National University (Philippines), and Lasallian Institute for Development and Education Research (LIDER).
