Comparison of Analytical Method and Artificial Neural Network Method for Calculation of Optical Positioning

This paper compares two methods of passive determination of an object (camera) position, using the optical beacon. The LED light sources as a part of the optical beacon are placed at certain positions to create a specific geometric pattern. With the changes in mutual camera and beacon position, there are also changes in the pattern, which is determined in the camera-captured picture. Due to a change of the camera position against the beacon, there is also a change in the mutual position of the light sources in the image captured by the camera. The first method is based on analytical expression of the beacon range and azimuthal angle in dependence on mutual positions of the light sources in the picture. The second method uses an artificial neural network instead of analytical expression. A description of both methods together with comparison of experimental results are presented in this paper.
Semantic Localization through Propagation of Scene Information in a Hierarchical Model

The success of mobile robots, and particularly these coexisting with humans, relies on the ability to understand human environments. Representing the world and analysing spaces in a similar way to humans will enhance their comprehension and enable higher abstraction capabilities and interactions. The purpose of this work is to develop a localization framework that takes into account the different scenes common in a human environment and a hierarchical model of the environment. A probabilistic model for recognizing scenes is employed to determine the scene in which the robot is located. To allow that, the information about the objects and the relationships between them are considered. Besides that, a hierarchical model formed by different topological representations according to different levels of abstraction is proposed. Localization is performed at different levels to improve the localization accuracy. In this work, scene information is used to improve the localization of a mobile robot in a hierarchical model using hidden Markov models. The experiments of our framework working in real environments uphold the usefulness of the inclusion of the understanding and abstraction of the environment in localization.
Quantum States of Heralded Photons

Summary form only given. In the last decades much attention has been attracted to the photon heralding technique [1], which consists in generating a photon pair in two modes and detecting a photon of one (idler) mode, preparing thus the other (signal) mode in a single-photon state. In this work we consider spontaneous parametric downconversion (SPDC) as a source of photon pairs and find the density matrix of the signal mode conditioned by a photon detection in the idler one. We take into account three physical parameters of the scheme: the degree of two-mode squeezing r produced by SPDC, the transmittance of the idler channel η, which includes the quantum efficiency of the photodetector, and the transmittance of the signal channel μ, see Fig. 1(a). We show that the conditional state of the signal mode is a weighted difference of two thermal states ρ <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">(-)</sup> (q,p,γ) = \mathscrN ([(ρth (q))/(1-q)] - γ[(ρth(q p))/(1-qp)] ) = \mathscrN Σ <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">∞</sup> n=0 (d <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">n</sup> - γ(qp) <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">n</sup> ) |n 〉〈n |, (1).
Experimental Multiphase Estimation in an Integrated Reconfigurable Multi-Arm Interferometer

Phase estimation represents one of the most notable examples in the context of the quantum metrology. The aim is to improve the capabilities to measure an unknown phase shift between the arms of an interferometer with respect to classical strategies by adopting quantum resources. Applications of the phase estimation task can be found in different contexts, such as imaging, measurements on biological systems, or gravitational wave detection [1]. While the theoretical and experimental frameworks for the single parameter case are well established, several open questions arise when extending the scenario to multiparameter estimation. Indeed, when the number of parameters to be estimated is larger than one, it is not trivial to saturate the ultimate bounds for all parameters simultaneously [2]. Hence, it becomes crucial to identify and implement experimentally a suitable platform to develop appropriate protocols for efficient multiphase estimation protocols.
Caves and cave art

This paper aims to discuss the impact and importance of the karstic caves, which are effective on the emergence and development of cave art and the rocks that generate them. The origin of cave traces to 40 thousand years and the creation of many more works of art and the importance of the rocks to the present day is very important. In particular, carbonate rocks such as limestone and marble became important spaces and raw materials in terms of art history and development. Carbonate deposits placed in the large ocean bowls during geological periods have been elevated and altered land during orogenesis periods. The fact that the carbonate rocks are soluble due to environmental conditions has led to the formation of a large number of caves depending on the size and distribution of the masses forming them. These karstic caves, which constitute a significant part of the caves in the world, have been the habitat of old people for almost 1-1.5 million years. The caves have been very important shelters for life, which became difficult due to the cold climatic conditions during the glacial periods, which were effective during the last 2 million years (Pleistocene). Under the challenging conditions of the Paleolithic period, human societies have tried to survive on the one hand and, on the other hand, achieved their symbolic thinking skills with their developing brain capacities 100,000 years ago. In the following period, the human communities that continued to develop have left very important ruins, which dates back to 40-10 thousand years ago and are regarded as works of art. Structural features of the caves and the rocks forming them are of great importance in the emergence of these works, which are interesting in their techniques as well as their thought style. Karst caves are very suitable for processing in terms of scraping, embossing and various painting techniques depending on the mineral structure of limestone. Besides, since these caves are difficult to access and are prevented from external dangers and risks, they are of great importance for the emergence of this art and reaching to the present day.&#x0D; &#x0D; Keywords: Cave, Karstic rock, Cave art

Pebbling In Watkins Snark Graph

The pebbling theory is a study of a mathematical game that is played over a graph.In this game, a pebbling movement means removing two pebbles from a given vertex and adding one pebble to one of its neighbors and removing the other pebble from the game.The pebbling number of a graph G is defined a smallest positive integer required to add a pebble at any target vertex of the graph.It is denoted as. Every vertex of the graph is pebbled irrespective of the initial pattern of pebbles.Cubic graph is also called a 3-regular graph which is used in a real time scenario.In this paper, we have determined the pebbling number of Watkins Snark by constructing a Watkins Flower Snark of vertices, edges, cycles and disjoint sets which are present in the Watkins Snark.It is a connected graph in which bridgeless cubic index is equal to 4 with 75 edges and 50 vertices.

Interactive Natural Language Processing for Clinical Text

Free-text allows clinicians to capture rich information about patients in narratives and first-person stories. Care providers are likely to continue using free-text in Electronic Medical Records (EMRs) for the foreseeable future due to convenience and utility offered. However, this complicates information extraction tasks for big-data applications. Despite advances in Natural Language Processing (NLP) techniques, building models on clinical text is often expensive and time-consuming. Current approaches require a long collaboration between clinicians and data-scientists. Clinicians provide annotations and training data, while data-scientists build the models. With the current approaches, the domain experts - clinicians and clinical researchers - do not have provisions to inspect these models or give direct feedback. This forms a barrier to NLP adoption and limits its power and utility for real-world clinical applications.Interactive learning systems may allow clinicians without machine learning experience to build NLP models on their own. Interactive methods are particularly attractive for clinical text due to the diversity of tasks that need customized training data. Interactivity could enable end-users (clinicians) to review model outputs and provide feedback for model revisions within an closed feedback loop. This approach may make it feasible to extract understanding from unstructured text in patient records; classifying documents against clinical concepts, summarizing records and other sophisticated NLP tasks while reducing the need for prior annotations and training data upfront.In my dissertation, I demonstrate this approach by building and evaluating prototype systems for both clinical care and research applications. I built NLPReViz as an interactive tool for clinicians to train and build binary NLP models on their own for retrospective review of colonoscopy procedure notes. Next, I extended this effort to design an intelligent signout tool to identify incidental findings in a clinical care setting. I followed a two-step evaluation with clinicians as study participants: a usability evaluation to demonstrate feasibility and overall usefulness of the tool, followed by an empirical evaluation to evaluate model correctness and utility. Lessons learned from the development and evaluation of these prototypes will provide insight into the generalized design of interactive NLP systems for wider clinical applications.
Investigating Quantum Computation

Advancements in computer science and technology make quantum computation increasingly possible, which would result in unprecedented computational efficiency and allow quantum physicists and chemists to completely model complex quantum mechanical systems. Quantum algorithms have already shown significant advantages over classical algorithms in terms of both runtime and power. Quantum computation opens up new research opportunities in areas such as machine learning, mathematics, and cryptography. However, quantum computation could also pose a danger to online data security.

Color Image Invariant Feature Extraction by a Topological Property Motivated PCNN Model

Topological invariant features take priority over other vision features in early visual perception stage, which is the core idea of topological perception theory. In order to improve the robustness and distinguishability of the invariant features extracted by pulse coupled neural network (PCNN), the topological properties are integrated into PCNN. The improved PCNN model is called as topological property motivated PCNN (TPCNN), which adopts the saliency map calculated by the spectral residual approach as the important topological properties (the connectivity, and the number of holes in target). In TPCNN, firstly, the normalized saliency map is used as a linking coefficient to enhance the importance of saliency object when we calculating the invariant features. Secondly, the entropy signature of the saliency map is treated as an additional new feature and merged into original features calculated by PCNN, then the final invariant feature is obtained. The proposed TPCNN is used to calculate the invariant feature of different kinds of fish in the paper. Experimental results show that TPCNN outperforms the state-of-art models on invariant features extraction.
Aplikasi Absensi Berbasis Android Menggunakan Differensi Fitur Biometrika Wajah

Technological developments have changed the way of works in a variety of human activities that were originally manual to digital where data and information can be processed anytime and anywhere. The development of mobile devices which is characterized by the increasing number of users of smart devices or smartphones has now made it possible to do a variety of jobs thanks to its quite high computing capability. Digital attendance is currently being developed on computer-based devices using authentication using fingerprint. This can cause a long queue if applied to an institution or company with a large number of employees and tight working hours. Digital attendance using smartphone devices especially Android has now begun to be developed to utilize smartphone devices as an alternative to recording employee attendance. The problem of digital attendance on smartphone devices especially Android is the fingerprint authentication facility is only available on devices with prices that are still relatively expensive, making it difficult to reach by employees, so cheap authentication that can be used today is using facial features. This study uses facial biometrics features to validate and authenticate the identity of the face owner using simple feature differentiation values so as to minimize the complexity of the authentication process while maintaining the accuracy of the authentication results. With a threshold difference of 30 - 50% the system built can detect the owner's face accurately with different lighting and positions.&#x0D; &#x0D; Keywords : Application, Attendance, Biometrics, Face.
The Concept of Creativity into the XXIst Century: One Equation, Unknown Degrees

The article states that creativity as a process, creative thinking for decades are in the field of scientific interests of many researchers.Today we have a number of different approaches to the interpretation of the essence of the creative process and understanding of its psychological mechanisms.Another vector in the space of scientific interests of researchers who are studying the creative process is the task of measuring and encouraging efforts in creative problem solving.Equally relevant is the problem of stimulating the development and implementation of creative potential of individuals.Some researchers find out a connection of a positive mood with the solution of creative problems, stating its convention.In general, according to the results of the analysis, the connection between positive mood and the level of the solution of the creative task has been proved.The analysis also shows the interest of researchers in the behavior of gifted children in the proximal zone.In general, it is concluded that the question of the essence of the creative process and its motivation can give the status of some of the most relevant scientific interests of the past decades.Along with them, it is undoubtedly possible to put research on certain aspects of scientific, technical, organizational and artistic creativity.In particular, the scientific discovery for a long time was due to the positions of existing theories.Some researchers offer a new approach to explaining the scientific discovery in which the tool plays a leading role.Other researchers highlight several aspects of creative work as part of a rational way to use the method of random research.It analyzes a number of processes that can be grouped under the obvious functionality.Most authors of scientific thinking publications emphasize the role of symbolic recombinations as sources of creativity.At the same time, the important role that the assimilative processes can play in the scientific activity is lost.In the analysis, it was concluded that studies on teaching inventiveness with the involvement of adolescents appear not often.Regarding organizational creativity, it is assumed that the use of the ability to think quickly, flexibly and originally allows negotiators to develop creative solutions, to find a compromise, and to maximize the overall benefit.The connection between creativity and success in the negotiation process is complemented by the dyadic nature of the negotiation situation.In the analysis analyzed also a number of aspects of artistic creativity.In general, it is concluded that one of the false concepts of creativity, which is common among teachers, is the idea that creativity is inherent in only a small number of students.
