Scene graph generation with award-punishment strategy

The scene graph can provide a structured representation for downstream tasks given an image. To generate a fine-grained one, many researchers have attempted to alleviate the long-tailed dataset bias by energy-based learning, causal reasoning or other mechanisms. Nevertheless, they are still restricted to the biased dataset because of the redundancy of head information and the lack of tail information. In this work, we propose a comprehensive and ground-breaking model called Balanced Award-Punishment Model (BAPM) to tackle the problem. The BAPM consists of the stochastic strategy module (SSM), the knowledge transfer module (KTM) and the lateral inhibition loss (LIL). Concretely, the SSM takes dropout to form two different domain spaces for KTM, enhancing the tail information of the object level by constantly learning from another domain. The KTM aims to acquire abundant knowledge of tail predicates by transferring the fine-grained information from one domain to another. The SSM and KTM can be regarded as knowledge awards (KA) due to the incentive for tail data. The LIL mimics the competitive mechanism of neurons to smoothly adjust the weight of each object or each predicate by focal strategy. We regard the LIL as redundancy punishment (RP) owing to taking the restriction for head data into account. Under the joint award-punishment scheme, our approach has achieved state-of-the-art performance on two complementary metrics. The quantitative and qualitative experimental results on Visual Genome dataset show that our BAPM further reduce the dataset bias and generates more diverse scene graphs.
Partial randomized benchmarking

Abstract In randomized benchmarking of quantum logical gates, partial twirling can be used for simpler implementation, better scaling, and higher accuracy and reliability. For instance, for two-qubit gates, single-qubit twirling is easier to realize than full averaging. We analyze such simplified, partial twirling and demonstrate that, unlike for the standard randomized benchmarking, the measured decay of fidelity is a linear combination of exponentials with different decay rates (3 for two qubits and single-bit twirling). The evolution with the sequence length is governed by an iteration matrix, whose spectrum gives the decay rates. For generic two-qubit gates one slowest exponential dominates and characterizes gate errors in three channels. Its decay rate is close, but different from that in the standard randomized benchmarking, and we find the leading correction. Using relations to the local invariants of two-qubit gates we identify all exceptional gates with several slow exponentials and analyze possibilities to extract their decay rates from the measured curves.
Spatial Analysis of Liquid Pollutant Potential in Industrial Type UKL-UPL Documents In Jombang Regency

Background: The establishment of new industries is often associated with potential waste to be produced and environmental problems that may arise due to the activities carried out by the industry in the future. One of many environmental problems due to industrial waste is the pollution of water, air, and soil in the area around where the industry is located. The number of industrial types UKL-UPL submissions in Jombang Regency from 2006-2020 is unstable but tend to increase from 2015-2020. Jombang Regency is a downstream area of the Brantas River which its Water Quality Index has decreased from 49.17 in 2015 to 47.68 in 2016.Objectives: The purpose of this study was to analyze spatially the location of the industry that had the potential for liquid pollutants and river distribution in Jombang Regency.Methods: This study uses observational research design with a quantitative descriptive approach with a spatial analysis model. The data used is secondary data, namely the submission data of Jombang Regency UKL UKL document in 2006-2020, coordinate data of the location of the industry, and spatial river data.Results: Industrial establishment plans on Jombang Regency are mostly centered around it’s regency seat. The length of rivers in Jombang tend to be longer in the northen and sourthern sub-districts. There is no significant difference on the location of industrial establishment plan to the nearest river for industries with and without liquid pollutant potentials (0.912 &lt; 0.05).Conclusion: Even thought sub-districts with high industry counts has shorter river length, regular river water quality monitoring is required to be done so that it doesn’t exceed environmental quality standards and cause health problems.
Needs Analysis of English Language Use in Tourism Industry in Selangor, Malaysia

English proficiency is required in all professional areas, but it has become essential in the tourist industry because of its specific characteristics. Needs analysis plays a vital role in developing the curriculum in English for specific purposes. This studyidentifies the needs and the problems of English language usage among the tourism industry employees in Selangor, Malaysia. The questionnaire was used as the primary data focusing on speaking, listening, reading, and writing skills. Utilising a descriptive research design, a total of 50 respondents were randomly selected for the study. The findings showed that in general, the respondents’ overall needs of English language skills were rated at a high level. Meanwhile, regarding the employees’ problems in using English at work were found at a moderate level. The problems encountered were less high compared to their English language needs. The necessities resonated what English skills are essentials for them to use in their job and to know the elements of each skill to be improved when they learn English. The implication of the findings will be helpful to develop and expand existing English for Tourism curriculum or ESP courses, particularly in Malaysia and Indonesia, to create a more effective English for tourism course based on the needs of the tourism industry employees in the future.
Physics and Philosophy Interview with Thomas Schiicker

The famous French physicist Thomas Schiickeг, the author of numeгous articles and books on theoгeti­ cal and mathematical physics, talks about his reseaгch work in such агеаs of theoretical and mathemati­ cal physics as grand unification theoгies, gravitational anomalies, application of noncommutative geom­ etгy to the Standard Model of paгticle physics and beyond, cosmology. The state of modern physics and, in paгticulaг, the fundamental discoveгies made in high-energy physics and cosmology over the past decades, as well as the relationship between physics and philosophy and а numbeг of related philosophi­ cal proЬlems аге discussed. In paгticular, we are talking about the Standard Model of elementaгy paгticle physics and the Standard cosmological model, about dark eneгgy and daгk matter, about such funda­ mental physical theoгies as stгing theoгy, noncommutative geometгy, loop quantum gгavity and others. Promising directions in the development of physics, according to Т. Schiicker, include the furtheг study of gгavitational waves and quantum entanglement. As for the philosophy of physics, the following are discussed: гealism and anti-realism, the concepts of scientific theoгy and truth, the nature of quantum reality, inteгpгetations of quantum mechanics, and the role of the aesthetic cгiterion of beauty in phys­ ics. Pгofessoг Т. Schiickeг does not think that modern physics is in crisis. In fact, оvег the past decades, significant theoгetical and expeгimental pгogгess has been made in physics, а number of fundamental pгedictions and discoveгies, and, in particular, the discoveгy of the acceleгated expansion of the universe, the Higgs boson, gravitational waves, and many others. As noted in the interview, many modern researchers work simultaneously in the field of theoretical physics and in the field of philosophy of physics, they believe that physics and philosophy need each other.
ANALISA DAN IMPLEMENTASI JARINGAN WIRELESS MAC ADDRESS MENGGUNAKAN FILTERING PADA PT. FAYA KUNTURA AGUNG KONSULTINDO

The evolution of this era is become advancing as well for Technology Information and Telecommunications. This evolution has been explored in Wireless Technology, even in all devices such as smartphones, tablets and laptops can use it. The Internet has tremendously impacted culture and it become a daily necessity by people in the world, as the internet can support the process of communicating, learning, and data transfer. Places that use wireless networks have started a lot such as schools, universities, and companies. Yet, wireless networks still have security that is quite vulnerable because it can be misused by other parties. To minimize this problem we can use MAC Address Filtering. MAC Address Filtering is a technique for prevents access to a network if the MAC Address of the devices attempting to connect does not match any addresses marked as allowed. MAC Address Filtering has 2 tasks of verification so before it does filtering, the user must log in first using the MAC Address that has been registered and then enter the username and password if it matches the MAC Address then the login will be successful, otherwise, it will be rejected. This wireless MAC Address Filtering security can avoid hackers who can enter the wireless network which makes a slow network.
The Implementation of Literature Teaching Approaches in the ESL Classroom: A Systematic Review

According to Widowson (1984), teachers are having dilemmas in choosing the right teaching method for the non-native learners. Thus, the methods to teaching literature are constantly changing to suit learners’ needs and differences (Padurean, 2015). This paper aims to highlight on two main objectives. Firstly, it aims to describe the literature teaching approaches applied by teachers in the ESL classroom. Secondly, it intends to elaborate on the challenges in applying appropriate literature teaching approaches in the lesson. This research employs thematic analysis of 22 journal articles related to the teaching and learning of literature in the ESL settings through the use of systematic review approach. Specific samples’ inclusion and exclusion criteria are applied during the screening process of article search and the main platform for sample collection are Scopus and Google Scholar. The distribution of year for the article sampling is set between the years of 2003 to 2021. Important keywords such as ESL teaching strategies, literature teaching approaches, challenges in teaching literature, ESL teaching and learning, and second language pedagogy were used to search for relevant samples. The findings show that there are six approaches to teaching literature that may be applied by the ESL teachers in their classroom, which are the information-based, paraphrastic, stylistic, language-based, reader response and moral philosophical approach. Meanwhile, previous research shows that the challenges to implement appropriate literature teaching approaches are the examination-oriented system, large class size, time constraint, learners’ attitude, poor language competence, and inappropriate texts selection.
A thumb on the scale: measures short of a prohibition to combat hate speech

While debates on hate speech often focus on the case for banning certain types of expression, this article will focus on less restrictive alternatives. The article will consider the denial of a benefit normally granted to speakers, media regulations and government sponsored speech to counter messages of hate. Such measures, it is argued, are more proportionate than an outright ban and do not exclude any particular viewpoints from political debate. However, such measures also depart from expectations of even-handedness from public bodies in relation to political viewpoints. With these factors in mind, the discussion explores the potential for some types of speech to occupy a grey area, in which messages of hate or extremism do not meet the threshold for prohibition but are still subject to viewpoint-based treatment that would not normally be compatible with freedom of expression.
Multitudes: Widening the research agenda for personal informatics design

The personal informatics field claims many potential benefits for users, from self-reflection to self-improvement.However, despite this focus on the self, the personal informatics literature has given little attention to how the self is conceptualised in tool design.From a starting point that all notions of the self are socially constructed, we draw on critiques of the PI literature to track three key conceptualisations of the self that are prevalent in the personal informatics literature -the unitary self, the lacking self, and the knowable self.For each of these, we suggest a possible design space opened by embracing an alternative conception of the self: design for fluidity and fragmentation; design for "human-ness"; and dialogical design.These design spaces offer some future directions for personal informatics that take seriously recent critiques of the field and, in centering how the self is conceptualised, provide alternative research approaches for personal informatics.
Analysis of the Problems of the Teaching Object-Oriented Programming to Students

Today, the university faces a new urgent task - to prepare the future teacher of computer science for teaching this topic, to equip him with sufficient subject and methodological tools. This article provides an analysis of the problems of teaching object-oriented programming to students.
A virtual instrument for physics-based musical gesture: CHON

Physical metaphor provides a visceral and universal logical framework for composing musical gestures.Physical simulations can aid composers in creating musical gestures based in complex physical metaphors.CHON (Coupled Harmonic Oscillator Network) is a new cross-platform application for composing musical gestures based in Newtonian physics.It simulates a network of particles connected by springs and sonifies the motion of individual particles.CHON is an interactive instrument that can provide complex yet tangible and physically grounded control data for synthesis, sound processing, and musical score generation.Composers often deploy dozens of independent LFOs to control various parameters in a DAW or synthesizer.By coupling numerous control signals together using physical principles, CHON represents an innovation on the traditional LFO model of musical control.Unlike independent LFOs, CHON's signals push and pull on each other, creating a tangible causality in the resulting gestures.In this paper, I briefly describe the design of CHON and discuss its use in composition through examples in my own works.

Children and the Mediated City. Place Attachment Development Using Augmented Reality in Urban Spaces

Nowadays technology has become an essential component in our urban environments. The mediated city is a concept that takes advantage of various kinds of technology to enhance the functional efficiency of daily urban life. Augmented spaces are one of the main elements of mediated cities which use Augmented Reality (AR) to facilitate communication and interaction between digital and physical spaces. Children, as users of augmented spaces, have the potential to explore mediated cities using various AR-enabled accessories. This ability gives children the opportunity to get a closer sense of connection to their city and experience place attachment which is the emotional bond formed between themselves and the place. This paper explores three case studies that exhibit how children use AR technology to develop various skills. Our goal is to promote AR as a contemporary tool that helps children better perceive and experience the feeling of place attachment in their city.
E-LIBRARY BERBASIS WEBSITE MENGGUNAKAN METODE ALGORITMA APRIORI DAN SEQUENTIAL SEARCH

The library is one of the facilities in schools, universities or in the office and in the development of an increasingly advanced technology era and also libraries must follow technological developments that have begun to use e-libraries by reading e-books. For research in the case of the Putra Bangsa High School library, it does not have a digital library. In this study, SMA Putra Bangsa wants to create an E-library website for online reading. This study aims to search for books by implementing the Sequential Search method on the e-library application used to search for book data based on book titles, book categories and publishers which are array data 1 dimensions. In addition, to classify Putra Bangsa SMA data to find books that are recommended to website visitors by using the apriori algorithm method, this method determines the item set of the most popular books. So that this application allows readers to read efficiently and even read digital books through various devices that support browsing facilities using the internet
‘Making the dust fly’: (A case study of) design research promoting health and sustainability in addressing household infections

Global health crises, such as antimicrobial resistance, threaten planetary health, as they have a direct impact on the environment, as well as to humans and animals.Personal and environmental hygiene form the best and most natural ways of reducing home infections and hence the need to take antibiotics.Despite this, our understanding of cleaning in the home and interventions on home cleaning are limited.In this paper we present a project, which combined design research with environmental microbiology, to address this issue and to co-design sustainable cleaning interventions for human and planetary health in Ghana.We focus on the design of a co-design workshop, which led to the development of cleaning interventions tested for a month by several households.We share the challenges faced and the lessons learnt, which we envisage will help guide design researchers moving into this exciting research field of planetary and human health.
Pedestrian User-Friendly Intelligent Crossing Advance For Improved Safety

The habit of pedestrians in using the road when crossing the road is in the spotlight because it will cause traffic jams so that they are prone to accidents. No road user wants to experience such an accident, whether it is a minor accident or an accident that is fatal and leads to death. Pelican crossings are made to minimize pedestrian accidents, but this facility does not guarantee that accidents will not occur. Problems arise when pressing the crossing button will create congestion and noise due to the notification sound of the crossing. When someone wants to cross it will result in the accumulation of vehicles around because they are waiting for irregular pedestrians to cross. The purpose of this research is to design a pedestrian Puffin Crossing advance simulation that is more adaptive and safe. The research was conducted by making a prototype using a microcontroller and several sensors which will later be used as a medium for interaction between drivers and pedestrians. The results of the prototype research can work well and in accordance with the function of each component. The recommended minimum number of pedestrians is 4 waders, the minimum required waiting time is 5 seconds, while the crossing time is conditioned based on pedestrian sensor readings at the zebra cross.
Central Bank Digital Currencies, Internet of Things, and Islamic Finance: Blockchain Prospects and Challenges

This paper introduces the need for blockchain technology integration for Islamic financial institutions. The article presents three main applications of blockchain technology. It explains how such technology can be used in the banking and financial sectors by providing examples for each application. Given its relevancy, the paper expands on Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) as one of the blockchain applications. The article then discusses salient points on how the banking sector would be affected by what is described as the future of money. Subsequently, an analysis of the use of blockchain in financial services and, in particular, the benefit of Islamic financial services is provided by examining examples of past successful implementations. The paper then introduces the Internet of Things (IoT) and illustrates the possible technology implementation in financial institutions. The inherent security weakness of IoT is summarized by the potential elimination of that weakness if combined with blockchain (BIoT). The paper concludes by providing a handful of suggestions and recommendations on the urgency of considering CBDCs for future daily operations, integrating Distributed Ledger technology, and using BIoT to safeguard the financial and clients' transaction records.
“Project smells” - Experiences in Analysing the Software Quality of ML Projects with mllint

Machine Learning (ML) projects incur novel challenges in their development and productionisation over traditional software applications, though established principles and best practices in ensuring the project's software quality still apply. While using static analysis to catch code smells has been shown to improve software quality attributes, it is only a small piece of the software quality puzzle, especially in the case of ML projects given their additional challenges and lower degree of Software Engineering (SE) experience in the data scientists that develop them. We introduce the novel concept of project smells which consider deficits in project management as a more holistic perspective on software quality in ML projects. An open-source static analysis tool mllint was also implemented to help detect and mitigate these. Our research evaluates this novel concept of project smells in the industrial context of ING, a global bank and large software- and data-intensive organisation. We also investigate the perceived importance of these project smells for proof-of-concept versus production-ready ML projects, as well as the perceived obstructions and benefits to using static analysis tools such as mllint. Our findings indicate a need for context-aware static analysis tools, that fit the needs of the project at its current stage of development, while requiring minimal configuration effort from the user.
