A Survey Paper on Real-Time Sign Language Gesture Recognition

Sign Language Recognition has been used for serving deaf and dumb humans and is being researched for last previous years. It helps make communication between humans and computers. Recognizing sign gestures through continuous gestures was a very challenging research topic. There are many methods for recognizing these gestures like Data Acquisition Method, Hidden Markov Model (HMM), Recurrent Neural Network (RNN), gradient-based keyframe method. This paper aims to convert single-handed gestures into text in real-time. It will be a revolutionary development in establishing a communication path between the dumb and deaf people and the real world.
FORMATION OF SOCIAL CREATIVITY OF THE PERSONALITY THROUGH INCLUSION OF STUDENTS IN PROJECT ACTIVITIES

The article discusses current issues of inclusion of project activities in the educational process of a higher education institution, the need to form competencies of innovative project activities among students as a mechanism for the formation of social creativity of a future professional. The essence of the concept of «social creativity» is revealed, a model of the relationship of its components with the stages of project activity is proposed. The paper presents a study among students aimed at assessing the effectiveness of the formation of social creativity of a person through the inclusion of students in project activities. Methodological tools of the ascertaining stage of the experimental work are presented, designed to determine the level of students’ communicative and social creativity. The study established the relationship between the level of social creativity of students and the communicative difficulties that arise in their interaction – the higher the level of social creativity, the less communicative difficulties a student experiences. As part of the formative part of the experimental work, two ways to include students in project activities in the educational environment of the university are described: as the implementation of one of the disciplines of the educational programme and as part of extracurricular activities.
On the Impact of Partial Sums on Interconnect Bandwidth and Memory Accesses in a DNN Accelerator

Dedicated accelerators are being designed to address the huge resource requirement of the deep neural network (DNN) applications. The power, performance and area (PPA) constraints limit the number of MACs available in these accelerators. The convolution layers which require huge number of MACs are often partitioned into multiple iterative sub-tasks. This puts huge pressure on the available system resources such as interconnect and memory bandwidth. The optimal partitioning of the feature maps for these sub-tasks can reduce the bandwidth requirement substantially. Some accelerators avoid off-chip or interconnect transfers by implementing local memories; however, the memory accesses are still performed and a reduced bandwidth can help in saving power in such architectures. In this paper, we propose a first order analytical method to partition the feature maps for optimal bandwidth and evaluate the impact of such partitioning on the bandwidth. This bandwidth can be saved by designing an active memory controller which can perform basic arithmetic operations. It is shown that the optimal partitioning and active memory controller can achieve up to 40&#x0025; bandwidth reduction.
Quantifying the cumulative effects of sustained excitation on the vibrational response and radiated sound of violins: Preliminary results

There is a widely accepted belief among luthiers and performers that consistent playing of stringed instruments, especially in the violin and lute families, is associated with improved sound and playability. Because it is thought that a new instrument needs to be played for some time in order to achieve its performance potential, many luthiers “pre-vibrate” new instruments before they are sold or delivered to customers. Very few studies have been performed to investigate the effect of artificial stimulation of new stringed instruments and the phenomenon of “playing-in” is still poorly understood. A long-term project underway at Central Washington University seeks to measure changes in vibrational and acoustic response that can be attributed to sustained mechanical stimulus. Three new sibling violins (same model and month of manufacture) were recently acquired: one is a control, while the other two will be mechanically excited at the bridge with a broadband signal, each with a different amplitude, continuously for several months. Prior to initiating the sustained excitation, a thorough study was conducted of the variability and uncertainty in measurements of the vibrational and acoustic response of each violin; this will serve as a baseline for interpreting the significance of subsequent changes.

Preventing the Video Leakages from The Traffic Streaming

Video streaming takes up an increasing proportion of network traffic nowadays. Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP (DASH) becomes the defacto standard of video streaming and it is adopted by YouTube, Netflix, etc.Despite of the popularity, network traffic during video streaming shows identifiable pattern which brings threat to user privacy.In this paper, to proposea video identification method using network traffic while streaming. Though there is bitrate adaptation in DASH streaming, we observe that the video bit rate trend remains relatively stable because of the widely used Variable Bit-Rate(VBR) encoding. Accordingly, we design a robust video feature extraction method for eavesdropped video streaming traffic. Meanwhile, we design a VBR based video fingerprinting method for candidate video set which can be built using downloaded video files. Finally, to propose an efficient partial matching method for computing similarities between video fingerprints and streaming traces to derive video identities. To evaluate our attack method in different scenarios for various video content, segment lengths and quality levels. The experimental results show that the identification accuracy can reach up to 90%using only three minute continuous network traffic eavesdropping.
Multi-Scale Speaker Diarization With Neural Affinity Score Fusion

Identifying the identity of the speaker of short segments in human dialogue has been considered one of the most challenging problems in speech signal processing. Speaker representations of short speech segments tend to be unreliable, resulting in poor fidelity of speaker representations in tasks requiring speaker recognition. In this paper, we propose an unconventional method that tackles the trade-off between temporal resolution and the quality of the speaker representations. To find a set of weights that balance the scores from multiple temporal scales of segments, a neural affinity score fusion model is presented. Using the CALLHOME dataset, we show that our proposed multi-scale segmentation and integration approach can achieve a state-of-the-art diarization performance.

Pengajaran dan Pengaplikasian Bahasa Inggris Formal dan Informal Bagi Siswa Smp di Jalan Akasia

Teaching formal language is very important for children. In general, each person has the ability to acquire the first language, that is mother tongue based on the environt.  It greatly influences person to tend to use informal language. The language learning can be divided into two, namely the in the classroom and outside of it. A teacher has a big responsibility for language development, especially for the development of students' language knowledge, especially English. The formulation of the problem in this study is how to improve students' understanding of the use of formal and informal English and to know the function of the two types of language. Therefore, a teacher should be able to provide a good understanding of the use of formal and informal language in accordance with certain situations. Based on the survey results, it was known that there were still many mistakes in the use of formal and informal English that were incompatible with the function and situation of using the two types of language both in spoken and written language. This research was designed using qualitative research with descriptive methods. This research was conducted with the aim of knowing the students' ability to use formal and informal English. The results shows that there is an increase in understanding the use of both formal and informal types of English.

MGHRL: Meta Goal-Generation for Hierarchical Reinforcement Learning

Most meta reinforcement learning (meta-RL) methods learn to adapt to new tasks by directly optimizing the parameters of policies over primitive action space. Such algorithms work well in tasks with relatively slight differences. However, when the task distribution becomes wider, it would be quite inefficient to directly learn such a meta-policy. In this paper, we propose a new meta-RL algorithm called Meta Goal-generation for Hierarchical RL (MGHRL). Instead of directly generating policies over primitive action space for new tasks, MGHRL learns to generate high-level meta strategies over subgoals given past experience and leaves the rest of how to achieve subgoals as independent RL subtasks. Our empirical results on several challenging simulated robotics environments show that our method enables more efficient and generalized meta-learning from past experience and outperforms state-of-the-art meta-RL and Hierarchical-RL methods in sparse reward settings.

Nonlocal total variation system for the restoration of textured images

A new nonlocal total variation reaction–diffusion system is proposed, analysed and implemented for image denoising. In the way, it is obtained by analysing the case where p→1 in the nonlocal p-Laplacian reaction–diffusion system proposed in [F. Karami, D. Meskine, and K. Sadik, A new nonlocal model for the restoration of textured images, J. Appl. Anal. Comput. 9(6) (2019), pp. 2070–2095.]. We established the existence and uniqueness of the proposed model. Numerical and comparatives experiments are presented that illustrate the main features of the new model and that demonstrate its effectiveness as a denoising tool.
Robust control of quantum systems by quantum systems

Quantum systems can be controlled by other quantum systems in a reversible way, without any information leaking to the outside of the system-controller compound. Such coherent quantum control is deterministic, is less noisy than measurement-based feedback control, and has potential applications in a variety of quantum technologies, including quantum computation, quantum communication and quantum metrology. Here we introduce a coherent feedback protocol, consisting of a sequence of identical interactions with controlling quantum systems, that steers a quantum system from an arbitrary initial state towards a target state. We determine the broad class of such coherent feedback channels that achieve convergence to the target state, and then stabilise as well as protect it against noise. Our results imply that also weak system-controller interactions can counter noise if they occur with suitably high frequency. We provide an example of a control scheme that does not require knowledge of the target state encoded in the controllers, which could be the result of a quantum computation. It thus provides a mechanism for autonomous, purely quantum closed-loop control.

We try to form a mechanism, so as to further think about the promotion of school leadership from the theoretical and practical system construction as well as from the methodological level, and to make rational thinking and answers to some important issues in the development of school reform in China.
The impact of the adoption of international financial reporting standards on foreign direct investment in Africa

The goal of achieving a single set of financial reporting standards came into reality in 2001, when the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) developed the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). The expectation is that, with the adoption of uniform international accounting standards, it will enhance the quality and credibility of financial statements in terms of reliability, transparency, and comparability, thereby influencing the allocation of foreign capital and facilitating the inflow of foreign investments in the adopting countries. In this regard, the study examines the impact of the adoption of IFRS on FDI in Africa. Annual data of FDI were collected for the period 2005 to 2015. The study employs the panel data regression analysis using the system generalised method of moment (SGMM) to generate the parameter estimates to determine whether FDI inflows differ significantly between the adopting and non-adopting IFRS countries. Specific covariates that may influence the interpretation of the results were estimated along with the IFRS variables in the model. The findings provide empirical evidence about the effect of the adoption of IFRS on FDI and give more evidence about the impact of IFRS in Africa.
