An Autonomous Emotional Virtual Character: An Approach with Deep and Goal-Parameterized Reinforcement Learning

We have developed an autonomous virtual character guided by emotions. The agent is a virtual character who lives in a three-dimensional maze world. We found that emotion drivers can induce the behavior of a trained agent. Our approach is a case of goal parameterized reinforcement learning. Thus, we create conditioning between emotion drivers and a set of goals that determine the behavioral profile of a virtual character. We train agents who can randomly assume these goals while trying to maximize a reward function based on intrinsic and extrinsic motivations. A mapping between motivation and emotion was carried out. So, the agent learned a behavior profile as a training goal. The developed approach was integrated with the Advantage Actor-Critic (A3C) algorithm. Experiments showed that this approach produces behaviors consistent with the objectives given to agents, and has potential for the development of believable virtual characters.
Low-Speed Injection Attack Detection on CAN Bus

The car CAN (Controller Area Network) bus message injection attacks seriously affects various functions of the safety of cars, life and property. However, low-speed injection attack is detection inconspicuous in a majority of existing researches. This paper proposes a self-contained low-speed injection attacks detection system including whole detection process and principle. This paper first analyzes the feasibility of low-speed injection attacks; then we propose to use LOF (Local Outlier Factor) to detect the injection attack, and compare with the previous detection algorithms. Experimental results show that our algorithm has obvious advantages in detection rate over the previous algorithms.
Blockchain-Based CP-ABE with Publicly Verifiable Outsourced Decryption in IoT

Attribute based encryption (ABE) was used to ensure confidentiality and access control in IoT as a preeminent cryptographic primitive. However, the traditional ABE with outsourced decryption cannot achieve public verifiability for decryption results. In this paper, blockchain technology is appplied to realize the publicly verifiability in our CP-ABE scheme. Furthermore, our scheme has many characteristics: white box traceability, malicious users revocability and updatability of ciphertext. Lastly, we present the security analysis and demonstrate the performance of our scheme. The results show that our scheme is IND-CPA secure under the standard model and also has high efficiency.
The occurrence of Hg, Se, S, Ni, Cr, and Th in Talc Ore: A scanning electron microscopy (SEM) study of historical samples from the Willow Creek Mine, Montana

Due to short timeframes over which small-scale talc mines operate (approximately 1 to 10 years), detailed characterization of their mineralogy and geochemistry in the peer-reviewed literature is limited. Investigation of sample 1497 of the Willow Creek Mine, Montana by scanning electron microscopy using back scatter detection (SEM-BSD) indicates a complex minor mineral assemblage. Hg-Se-S minerals are associated with graphite whereas Zn-Cr-Ni minerals and Th minerals are dispersed in the talc matrix. Notably, Hg, Se, Zn, Cr, and Ni are of human health concern. Minerals with these elements are ~ 20 to 0.4 µm in diameter, and all have examples in the PM10 or PM2.5 size fraction. These minerals would likely not be separated out during processing of talc ore and would be inhalable. Results indicate a need for detailed SEM-BSD investigations of historic talc products from the Willow Creek Mine and for investigating ore from similar settings in Montana.
Increasing Learning Efficiency of Self-Attention Networks through Direct Position Interactions, Learnable Temperature, and Convoluted Attention

Self-Attention Networks (SANs) are an integral part of successful neural architectures such as Transformer (Vaswani et al., 2017), and thus of pretrained language models such as BERT (Devlin et al., 2019) or GPT-3 (Brown et al., 2020).Training SANs on a task or pretraining them on language modeling requires large amounts of data and compute resources.We are searching for modifications to SANs that enable faster learning, i.e., higher accuracies after fewer update steps.We investigate three modifications to SANs: direct position interactions, learnable temperature, and convoluted attention.When evaluating them on part-of-speech tagging, we find that direct position interactions are an alternative to position embeddings, and convoluted attention has the potential to speed up the learning process.
ShadowDancXR: Body Gesture Digitization for Low-cost Extended Reality (XR) Headsets

Low-cost, smartphone-based extended reality (XR) headsets, such as Google Cardboard, are more accessible but lack advanced features like body-tracking, which limits the expressiveness of interaction. We introduce ShadowDancXR, a technique that relies on the front-facing camera of the smartphone to reconstruct users' body gestures from projected shadows, which allows for wider range of interaction possibilities with low-cost XR. Our approach requires no embedded accessories and serves as an inexpensive, portable solution for body gesture digitization. We provide two interactive experiences to demonstrate the feasibility of our concept.

Formidable Challenges in Hardware Implementations of Fully Homomorphic Encryption Functions for Applications in Machine Learning

The concept of homomorphic encryption was introduced almost exactly same time as the first public-key cryptographic algorithm RSA, which was multiplicatively homomorphic. Encryption functions with additive and multiplicative homomorphisms allow us (at least in principle) to compute any function homomorphically, and thus are highly desired. Such encryption functions have applications in healthcare, machine learning and national security. Since the work of Craig Gentry [1], there have been several fully homomorphic encryption proposals, however, their time and space requirements do not give way to acceptably efficient implementations in real-world scenarios. The challenge comes from the fact that, while the encryption, decryption and homomorphic operations are simple arithmetic operations (such as polynomial addition and multiplication), the sizes of operands are beyond the usual operand sizes we have been used to in the standard public-key cryptography. For example, the polynomial operands (representing ciphertexts) used in the BGV algorithm [2] are supposed to have up to 16k terms, with each term up to 1k bits. About 1024-bit message is encrypted into one ciphertext that requires several million bits. In this talk, I will present some of formidable algorithmic and architectural challenges facing FHE implementors.
Proposing SVM and HOG Techniques for Effective Face Recognition in Video Surveillance

Face Recognition is an active topic among Machine Learning Researchers for two decades owing to its increasing demand in security monitoring applications. The present Techniques while being working has some constraints. The challenges emerge with the orientation, quality, and expression, variations in lightning, or facial occlusions, which has a direct impact on the facial captures using video-based surveillance. This results in performance and accuracy issues. The current surveillance applications require more computational complexity with less accuracy and performance. The proposed video surveillance system overcomes these limitations of existing systems and provides maximum effective security with minimum computational complexity. The proposed Video security monitoring system provides a complete face localization, detection, and recognition. The draw out facial image data is compared with facial dataset images. The facial data is obtained from the video dataset accessed from the real environment. The face image is authenticated if a match is found and is declared unauthenticated otherwise. The security alarm after the unauthenticated alerts the security personal for further action. Hence, the proposed system is more non-evasive, accurate and reliable.
Compact video fingerprinting via an improved capsule net

Robustness, distinctiveness and compactness are the three basic performance metrics for video fingerprinting, and the three factors affect each other. It is challenging to improve them simultaneously. For this reason, an end-to-end fingerprinting via a capsule net is proposed. In order to capture video features, a capsule net, based on a 3D/2D mixed convolution module, is designed, which maps raw data to compact real vector directly. A new designed adaptive margin triplet loss function is introduced, and it can automatically adjust the loss according to the sample distance. It is beneficial for reducing training difficulty and improving performance. Three open access video datasets FCVID, TRECVID and You Tube are composed to train and test, large experimental results have shown that the proposed fingerprinting achieves better performance than traditional and deep learning methods.
Image intelligent automatic processing analysis based on artificial intelligence vision generator

The image intelligent processing analysis technology uses a computer to imitate and execute some intellectual functions of the human brain, and realizes an image processing system with artificial intelligence, that is, an image processing analysis technology is an understanding of an image. The degree of intelligent automated analysis and processing is low, many operations need to be done manually, causing human error, inaccurate detection, and time-consuming and laborious. Deep learning method can extract features step by step in the original image from the bottom to the top. Therefore, based on feature analysis technology, this paper uses the deep learning method to intelligently and automatically analyse the visual image. This method only needs to send the image into the system, and then the manual analysis is not needed, and the analysis result of the final image can be obtained. The process is completely intelligent and automatically processed. First, improve the deep learning model and use massive image data to choose and optimize parameters. Results indicate that our method not only automatically derives the semantic information of the image, but also accurately understands the image accurately and improve the work efficiency.

Towards Robust Auto-calibration for Head-mounted Gaze Tracking Systems

Removing explicit user calibration is indeed an appealing goal for gaze tracking systems. In this paper, a novel auto-calibration method is proposed to achieve the 3D point of regard (PoR) prediction for the head-mounted gaze tracker. Our method chooses an RGBD sensor as the scene camera to capture 3D structures of the environment and treats salient regions as possible 3D calibration targets. In order to improve efficiency, the bag of words (BoW) algorithm is applied to calculate scene images’ similarity and eliminate redundant maps. After elimination, the translation relationship between eye cameras and the scene camera can be determined by uniting calibration targets with gaze vectors, and 3D gaze points are obtained by transformed gaze vectors and the point cloud of environment. The experiment results indicate that our method achieves effective performance on 3D gaze estimation for head-mounted gaze trackers, which can promote engineering applications of human-computer interaction technology in many areas.
Light Direction and Color Estimation from Single Image with Deep Regression

We present a method to estimate the direction and color of a scene light source from a single image. Our method is based on two main ideas: (a) we use a new synthetic dataset with strong shadow effects with similar constraints to SID dataset; (b) we define a deep architecture trained on the mentioned dataset to estimate direction and color of the scene light source. Apart from showing a good performance on synthetic images, we additionally propose a preliminary procedure to obtain light positions of the Multi-Illumination dataset, and, in this way, we also prove that our trained model achieves a good performance when it is applied to real scenes.

Reducing accidental clones using instant clone search in automatic code review

Accidental clones occur when developers are not familiar with the codebase. We propose changes in the developer code review workflow to leverage online clone detection to identify duplicate code during code review. A developer survey’s responses indicate that the proposed workflow change will increase the usage of clone detection tools and can reduce accidental clones.
Label-Similarity Curriculum Learning

Curriculum learning can improve neural network training by guiding the optimization to desirable optima. We propose a novel curriculum learning approach for image classification that adapts the loss function by changing the label representation.The idea is to use a probability distribution over classes as target label, where the class probabilities reflect the similarity to the true class. Gradually, this label representation is shifted towards the standard one-hot-encoding. That is, in the beginning minor mistakes are corrected less than large mistakes, resembling a teaching process in which broad concepts are explained first before subtle differences are taught.The class similarity can be based on prior knowledge. For the special case of the labels being natural words, we propose a generic way to automatically compute the similarities. The natural words are embedded into Euclidean space using a standard word embedding. The probability of each class is then a function of the cosine similarity between the vector representations of the class and the true label.The proposed label-similarity curriculum learning (LCL) approach was empirically evaluated using several popular deep learning architectures for image classification tasks applied to five datasets including ImageNet, CIFAR100, and AWA2. In all scenarios, LCL was able to improve the classification accuracy on the test data compared to standard training. Code to reproduce results is available at https://github.com/speedystream/LCL.

On this basis, the key technologies involved are elaborated, and it is concluded that high-performance cloud computing provides important technical support for information security emergency systems with powerful data processing capabilities.
BUT Text-Dependent Speaker Verification System for SdSV Challenge 2020

In this paper, we present the winning BUT submission for the text-dependent task of the SdSV challenge 2020.Given the large amount of training data available in this challenge, we explore successful techniques from text-independent systems in the text-dependent scenario.In particular, we trained x-vector extractors on both in-domain and out-of-domain datasets and combine them with i-vectors trained on concatenated MFCCs and bottleneck features, which have proven effective for the text-dependent scenario.Moreover, we proposed the use of phrase-dependent PLDA backend for scoring and its combination with a simple phrase recognizer, which brings up to 63% relative improvement on our development set with respect to using standard PLDA.Finally, we combine our different i-vector and x-vector based systems using a simple linear logistic regression score level fusion, which provides 28% relative improvement on the evaluation set with respect to our best single system.
A Bayesian Networks-Based Method to Analyze the Validity of the Data of Software Measurement Programs

Measures are essential resources to improve quality and control costs during software development. One of the main factors for having successful software measurement programs is measure trustworthiness, defined as how much a user can trust a measure to use it with confidence. Such confidence enables the users to interpret them and use them for supporting decision-making. ISO/IEC 15939:2007 describes four stages that influence such interpretability: measure selection, measure validation, threshold definition, and data validation. The literature is scarce in supporting data validation, which directly impacts the measure's trustworthiness value. This article aims to detail a method that uses Bayesian networks for supporting data validation and shows its application in practice to four software development projects from one company. The proposed method uses Bayesian networks to calculate the degree to which a collected number or symbol represents the real value for the measures and is integrated with GQM for assessing the measurement program's goals. First, the measurement users must create GQM model hierarchical structures, use it as input for constructing the Bayesian network, validate the Bayesian network, and, finally, use it to support decision-making. A tool to support the proposed method was developed and is freely available. Further, herein, the results of the case study are presented. We identified four benefits in using the proposed method: Externalization, Diagnosis support, Measure interpretation improvement, and Decision-making support. Given this, even though the initial effort to use the proposed method lasted, on average, one hour and fourteen minutes, the benefits of using it outweighed the effort of applying it. Therefore, our findings suggest that there was a positive intention in adopting the proposed method in practice.
Using Neural Networks to Identify Parameters of Autoregressive Model with Multiple Roots of Characteristic Equations

Number of neural networks was trained to determine the parameters of autoregressive models with multiple roots of characteristic equations. The text deals with special cases of such a model including the first and second order models. Efficiency studies were conducted for neural networks with back propagation of error, networks of cascade type and networks of generalized regression. The identification results by neural networks are compared with an identification algorithm based on correlation functions. The proposed algorithms are implemented both for one-dimensional random sequences based on such models, and for two-dimensional random fields. In addition, the parameters were identified for fitting models to real images.
