Identifying Personal Narratives in Chinese Weblog Posts

Automated text classification technologies have enabled researchers to amass enormous collections of personal narratives posted to English-language weblogs. In this paper, we explore analogous approaches to identify personal narratives in Chinese weblog posts as a precursor to the future empirical studies of cross-cultural differences in narrative structure. We describe the collection of over half a million posts from a popular Chinese weblog hosting service, and the manual annotation of story and nonstory content in sampled posts. Using supervised machine learning methods, we developed an automated text classifier for personal narratives in Chinese posts, achieving classification accuracy comparable to previous work in English. Using this classifier, we automatically identify over sixty-four thousand personal narratives for use in future cross-cultural analyses and Chinese-language applications of narrative corpora.
Prediction and Proactivity in Real-Time Interactive Music Systems

We advocate for the use of predictive techniques in interactive computer music systems. We suggest that the inclusion of prediction can assist in the design of proactive rather than reactive computational performance partners. We summarize the significant role prediction plays in human musical decisions, and the only modest use of prediction in interactive music systems to date. After describing how we are working toward employing predictive processes in our own metacreation software we reflect on future extensions to these approaches.
Knowledge Compilation for Interactive Design of Sequence Control Programs

This paper presents a knowledge compilation method which improves the performance of planning-based interactive systems. The method automatically generates state space models from domain knowledge. It is generally difficult to adopt planning to aid interactive design because designers require quick response time in their work, and because design problems have more than several million states. We have been developing a planning-based visual Programming System for Sequence control program SpeciFiCation Design (VIPS/S-SFCD). The System addresses the difficulties by (i) dividing the state space models into the machine state space and the equipment state space, and by (ii) automatically generating the machine-level state space models from domain knowledge in short time without errors. The knowledge compilation also reduces search space in planning and the number of planning steps. Systems adopting our approach are capable of designing interactively, improving the reliability and quality of control specifications, and rapidly adapting with modification of a complex plant.

COMPACT STRUCTURE REPRESENTATION IN DISCOVERING FREQUENT PATTERNS FOR ASSOCIATION RULES

Frequent pattern mining is a key problem in important data mining applications, such as the discovery of association rules, strong rules and episodes. Structure used in typical algorithms for solving this problem operate in several database scans and a large number of candidate generation. This paper presents a compact structure representation called Flex-tree in discovering frequent patterns for association rules. Flex-tree structure is a lexicographic tree which finds frequent patterns by using depth first search strategy. Efficiency of mining is achieved with one scan of database instead of repeated database passes done in other methods and avoid the costly generation of large numbers of candidate sets, which dramatically reduces the search space.

Analysis of the Impact of Various Properties of High Voltage Discharge for Deactivation of Water Algae

This paper aims to assess the impact of high voltage discharge on Chlamydomonas algae. Chlamydomonas has been chosen as a sample in this study due to its availability in Bangladesh. It grows on the surface of the water and causes various adverse effects on humans, environment, and other animal beings. There are various methods to inactivate the harmful effects of algae. The use of chemicals (like chlorine) produces harmful by-products and also affects human health. The application of high voltage discharge is an effective technique, which has a great impact on removing harmful algae. It has been found that discharge starts as a streamer with thin light intensity, then spreads in the form of branching on the surface of the water, and then converts to spark discharge with increasing input voltage. The application of discharge results in the complete deactivation of Chlamydomonas algae. The results and findings of this study will lead to developing more accurate knowledge about the real-life application of high voltage discharge.
A content-based image retrieval scheme with object detection and quantised colour histogram

Content-based image retrieval (CBIR) is an active area of research due to its wide applications. Most of the existing CBIR schemes are concentrated to do the searching of the images based on the texture, colour, or shape features extracted from the query image. In this manuscript, we propose an object detection-based CBIR scheme with quantised colour histograms. In the proposed scheme, the meaningful objects will be identified from the query image by using you only look once (YOLO) object detection techniques and the quantised histograms of each of the object categories. The object lists, their count, and the area covered by the objects along with quantised colour histograms will be used during feature matching to retrieve the related images from the large image pool. The experiment of the proposed scheme is carried on the Corel 1K and Caltech image dataset. We have observed an average precision of 0.96 during the experimental study which is quite high while comparing the precision from the well-known existing schemes.
Controlar-Freeze: New Approach in Visual Screen Security

Shoulder surfing continues to be a serious privacy threat. Despite this, practical and efficient countermeasures against such attacks are still scarce. We are proposing a Controlar-Freeze as an original yet effective precaution against various types of shoulder surfing attacks in ATMs in Financial Technology (FinTech). We limit our review to: (1) Electronic screen protecting, and (2) Gaze tracking approaches. Our proposal consists of a face detection algorithm, which (a) detects if two or more people are in the scope of the camera; (b) shows an alert; (c) freezes the controls of the screen until the threat source is gone; and (d) captures the threat to be referred to as evidence. We implemented this approach on MatLab and Simulink Software. We then conducted preliminary evaluations to validate its performance and effectiveness. Controlar-Freeze is proven success for the proposed theory that included the studied cases of the common features. We reported few concerns about this this approach as well as suggestions for improvements.
