Improving person re-identification performance by customized dataset and person detection

For person re-identification (re-ID), nearly all person re-ID algorithms use public person re-ID datasets, where these datasets all consist of predefined image crops containing a single person. Unfortunately, these image crops are not optimal for video analysis, so that the person detection becomes suboptimal and person re-ID obtains a lower performance score. In this work, several techniques are presented that customize the person images of a popular public person re-ID dataset. These techniques consist of customization algorithms based on postprocessing the person-detection bounding boxes using the original frames, resulting in several customized datasets to better facilitate person re-identification. We have evaluated five different ways for customization, based on widening the image crops, various aspect ratios and resolutions, and person instance segmentation. We have obtained a significant increase in performance with widened image crops, yielding a convincing performance increase of nearly 3% in the resulting Rank-1 score. Furthermore, when the applied random-cropping process is further optimized to this customization technique, an increase of even more than 4% is obtained. Both performance gains are a strong indication that any future person re-ID system may benefit from customizations based on the original video frames or from specializing the person detector.

Educación literaria: controversias pedagógicas entre el Ministerio de Educación y Ciencia y la Asociación de Profesores de Portugués

This paper addresses the conflict raised by the reformulation of the Portuguese language program in secondary education. This reform was put to the test by the Ministry of Education of Portugal in 2013. From the controversies raised by the changes made, we chose literary education and the criteria to choose literary works for school as a topic of discussion. The program’s design is subject to a lively discussion among credible actors. In this article, we combine a reflection and an exploratory research and chose the controversies incurred by the Portuguese Teachers Association in opposition to Government-issued guidelines. From the discussion, we highlight the opposition to the canon as a criterion for choosing the works and how inference can be operated in a massified school and with the compulsory length of school until the twelfth year.
Comparison of mathematics curriculum in the first and second educational period and the scope of mathematical content in education of future primary teachers in Slovenia, Latvia, Finland and Poland

Mathematical competence is one of the most important competences in life. Ways to get to it and how to upgrade it are different. Everything starts in pre-school, continues in primary school, secondary school, university and it never ends, as we learn all our lives. Mathematical knowledge is mostly obtained in schools. The success of obtaining this can be proven in life situations like understanding the world, taking responsibility and making decisions, and in various mathematics or science competitions, where our knowledge is comparable to that of children from other European and world countries.School systems differ in the field of mathematics, which is also reflected in the international survey TIMSS. The knowledge survey presents the achievements of pupils of the fourth and eighth grades of four European countries: Slovenia, Latvia, Poland and Finland. Differences in the students' achievements are the result of various factors. In the theoretical part, Slovenia, Latvia, Poland and Finland and their school systems are going to be presented. Then in the empirical part, the similarities and differences of the mathematics curriculum of the compared countries is going to presented using the comparative method. The curriculum analysis is going to cover the scope and structure of curriculum, the organization of content sections, the record of teaching objectives and standards as well as minimum standards of knowledge. The study is also going to include the scope of mathematical content in the education of future primary teachers. The understanding of the research findings is going to be connected to the theoretical part, which is going to explore the characteristics of the aforementioned countries and the similarities as well as the differences in their school systems.Through the theoretical part, the results of the research are going to show where our country stands on the European scale, and whether we could improve our school system and increase the mathematical competence among pupils of Slovenian primary schools.

Description of Picture with Application of Knowledge about Perspective during Teacher Training Practice at School

The article covers one of the aspects of teaching students a methodology of perspective analysis of paintings at classes of fine arts, as well as a possibility of applying the knowledge about perspective at lessons on writing and speech activity development dedicated to writing essays-descriptions of artistic canvases. The authors of the article introduce a sequence for analyzing perspective images. They suggest viewing pictures on the basis of determination of their main elements: right choice of viewpoint and of horizon line height, location of the interior, lighting and reflection conditions of the objects. All this allows revealing the plot of a work of art and defining its compositional center as an important component enhancing the emotional impact on a viewer. Particular attention has been paid to a verbal description - interpretation of artistic works. Meeting modern requirements on the arrangement of studies at secondary schools, this article offers a plan of a writing and speech activity development lesson devoted to writing essays-descriptions of pictures.
Revisiting Counter-model Generation for Minimal Implicational Logic.

The $\mathbf{LMT^{\rightarrow}}$ sequent calculus was introduced in 2016 by the same authors. This paper presents a Termination proof and a new (more direct) Completeness proof for it. $\mathbf{LMT^{\rightarrow}}$ is aimed to be used for proof search in Propositional Minimal Implicational Logic ($\mathbf{M^{\rightarrow}}$), in a bottom-up approach. Termination of the calculus is guaranteed by a rule application strategy that stresses all the possible combinations. For an initial formula $\alpha$, proofs in $\mathbf{LMT^{\rightarrow}}$ have an upper bound of $|\alpha| \times 2^{|\alpha| + 1 + 2 \times log_2|\alpha|}$, which together with the system strategy ensure decidability. $\mathbf{LMT^{\rightarrow}}$ has the property to allow extractability of counter-models from failed proof searches (bicompleteness), i.e., the attempt proof tree of an expanded branch produces a Kripke model that falsifies the initial formula.

Penataan Kampung Windan di Surakarta sebagai Kampung Gerabah Berbasis Wisata Halal dan Kreatif

In 1950, Windan Village was famous as the village that became the center of pottery in Kartasura and its surroundings. Pottery is a tool made of clay which is formed and then burned and can be useful in helping human life (usually in the form of crock). Because of the current development of technology, potteries are no longer in demand by the public because they are less economical and practical. Indonesia is the largest Islamic tourism industry market with the largest Muslim population in the world, which should be recognized by Indonesian tourism businesses. Shari’a Tourism is a form of culture-based tourism and promotes the values and norms of Islamic Shari'a as its basic foundation. The tours carried out also aim to get the pleasure of Allah SWT. The purpose of this final project is to organize Windan Village as a pottery village based on creative tourism, developing sustainable tourism villages based on public participation and halal tourism. Halal tourism is jihad to study and to see signs of the greatness of Allah SWT concerning the universe.

KALM: A Rule-based Approach for Knowledge Authoring and Question Answering

Knowledge representation and reasoning (KRR) is one of the key areas in artificial intelligence (AI) field. It is intended to represent the world knowledge in formal languages (e.g., Prolog, SPARQL) and then enhance the expert systems to perform querying and inference tasks. Currently, constructing large scale knowledge bases (KBs) with high quality is prohibited by the fact that the construction process requires many qualified knowledge engineers who not only understand the domain-specific knowledge but also have sufficient skills in knowledge representation. Unfortunately, qualified knowledge engineers are in short supply. Therefore, it would be very useful to build a tool that allows the user to construct and query the KB simply via text. Although there is a number of systems developed for knowledge extraction and question answering, they mainly fail in that these system don't achieve high enough accuracy whereas KRR is highly sensitive to erroneous data. In this thesis proposal, I will present Knowledge Authoring Logic Machine (KALM), a rule-based system which allows the user to author knowledge and query the KB in text. The experimental results show that KALM achieved superior accuracy in knowledge authoring and question answering as compared to the state-of-the-art systems.
SENI, DESAIN DAN KEBUDAYAAN DALAM SPIRIT REVOLUSI INDUSTRI 4.0

The arrival of the fourth wave of the industrial revolution, called the Industrial Revolution 4.0, which was supported by the development of digital information technology, has influenced the development of art, design and culture. At least, there are three main factors that influence this development. First, the development of digital information technology, and digitalization of almost all sectors of life, especially economic and industrial aspects. Second, the development of a network society, which makes networking work as the main way of working today. Third, the development of the workings of collaboration, as a logical consequence of the development of networking communities. This study aims to reveal the influence of these three main factors in the development of art, design and culture. The study shows the development of the Industrial Revolution 4.0, the power of digital networks and networking communities, the growth of the Internet of Things (IoT) and other modern digital information technologies, the phenomenon of technological disruption, the power of destruction of innovation, and the role of art and design in creating disruptive ideas, understood as an inseparable and interrelated unity. Everything must be understood as a set of interrelated and interconnected phenomena, which if they fail to understand one causes failure in understanding the other. Through comprehensive and integrated understanding, a big picture can be described about what radical changes and fundamentals are taking place.

A Portable Load Balancer with ECMP Redundancy for Container Clusters

Linux container technology and clusters of the containers are expected to make web services consisting of multiple web servers and a load balancer portable, and thus realize easy migration of web services across the different cloud providers and on-premise datacenters. This prevents service to be locked-in a single cloud provider or a single location and enables users to meet their business needs, e.g., preparing for a natural disaster. However existing container management systems lack the generic implementation to route the traffic from the internet into the web service consisting of container clusters. For example, Kubernetes, which is one of the most popular container management systems, is heavily dependent on cloud load balancers. If users use unsupported cloud providers or on-premise datacenters, it is up to users to route the traffic into their cluster while keeping the redundancy and scalability. This means that users could easily be locked-in the major cloud providers including GCP, AWS, and Azure. In this paper, we propose an architecture for a group of containerized load balancers with ECMP redundancy. We containerize Linux ipvs and exabgp, and then implement an experimental system using standard Linux boxes and open source software. We also reveal that our proposed system properly route the traffics with redundancy. Our proposed load balancers are usable even if the infrastructure does not have supported load balancers by Kubernetes and thus free users from lock-ins.
Geochemistry and rare-metal bearing potentials of pegmatites of Gbugbu, Lema and Bishewa areas of North Central Nigeria

The pegmatites of Gbugbu, Lema and Bishewa areas belong to the pegmatite belt of North-Central Nigeria which has been prospected for minerals since the early 1940's.Detailed geological mapping of the pegmatite bodies and sampling of muscovite extracts were carried out, while major, trace and rare earth elements geochemistry were achieved using ICP-OES and ICP-MS.Variation plots of major and trace elements were used to determine the geochemical characteristics of these pegmatite bodies.Structural features of the study area suggest fracture patterns in the Nigerian Basement rocks controlled the distribution of the pegmatites on a regional NW-SE, N-S and NE-SW and minor E-W trends.The pegmatites are peraluminous with major and trace elements pattern indicating similarities with granitic clan of igneous rocks.Qualitative assessment of the pegmatites using K/Rb vs Cs, K/Cs vs Rb, K/Rb vs Rb/Sr, variation plots suggest the majority of the pegmatites are mineralized with Na/K ratio>1 and belong to the rare metal bearing class with a compositional variation suggesting regional zonation of the pegmatites.Furthermore, these plots suggest the Lema pegmatite field is highly evolved and belong to the Li-Be-Ta Type (III) and Li-Cs-Be-Ta Type (IV) while majority of those in Gbugbu and Bishewa fields belong to the muscovite bearing Type (I) and Be bearing Type (II).It is concluded from this study that the pegmatites of Gbugbu, Lema and Bishewa pegmatite fields have the potentials for rare metal mineralization with alkali and rare alkali fractionation playing significant roles in the mineralization processes.Furthermore, field evidence and Rb vs Sr plot, suggests the pegmatites were emplaced at variable depths of between 20-30km indicating that the Gbugbu and Bishewa pegmatite fields have been extensively eroded and are close to the roots of the primary mineralization exposing mainly the interior pegmatites of the Types I-II.On the other hand, the Lema field which suffered lesser degree of erosion has Type III-IV pegmatite still remaining at the center of a regionally zoned pegmatite body.The significance of this study is that the pegmatites of Gbugbu, Lema and Bishewa areas have potentials for economic mineralization of tantalite, wolframite, cassiterite and columbite.
