Pipelined Training with Stale Weights in Deep Convolutional Neural Networks

The growth in size and complexity of convolutional neural networks (CNNs) is forcing the partitioning of a network across multiple accelerators during training and pipelining of backpropagation computations over these accelerators. Pipelining results in the use of stale weights. Existing approaches to pipelined training avoid or limit the use of stale weights with techniques that either underutilize accelerators or increase training memory footprint. This paper contributes a pipelined backpropagation scheme that uses stale weights to maximize accelerator utilization and keep memory overhead modest. It explores the impact of stale weights on the statistical efficiency and performance using 4 CNNs (LeNet-5, AlexNet, VGG, and ResNet) and shows that when pipelining is introduced in early layers, training with stale weights converges and results in models with comparable inference accuracies to those resulting from nonpipelined training (a drop in accuracy of 0.4%, 4%, 0.83%, and 1.45% for the 4 networks, respectively). However, when pipelining is deeper in the network, inference accuracies drop significantly (up to 12% for VGG and 8.5% for ResNet-20). The paper also contributes a hybrid training scheme that combines pipelined with nonpipelined training to address this drop. The potential for performance improvement of the proposed scheme is demonstrated with a proof-of-concept pipelined backpropagation implementation in PyTorch on 2 GPUs using ResNet-56/110/224/362, achieving speedups of up to 1.8X over a 1-GPU baseline.
RETHINKING HIGHER EDUCATION AFTER THE SARS-COV-2 PANDEMIC

The purpose of this article is to make known the current problems posed by higher education derived - now - from the Covid-19 pandemic, the same epidemic that came to disrupt the world and that, to date, in Mexico, as well as in other countries it is not possible to define what the course of this educational level will be. Therefore, it is intended to contribute to its improvement by advocating for educational freedom, flexibility and restructuring of universities so that it reaches all students and gives them the opportunity to complete their studies, without leaving anyone out.
Social Aspects of Information System and Computer Technology Professionals’ Practice-oriented Training

The article describes the social and pedagogical aspects of training a computer specialist in the modern information space. The features of the virtual environment of activity are considered, attention is paid to the social directions of professional training of a computer specialist, in particular, ethical responsibility. Attention is focused on the nature and types of social consequences and spiritual and cultural changes generated by the informatization of society, determined by the social conditions in which the informatization process takes place, and the problem itself is due to the relationship between the man, computer, and society. The advantages and risks of training professionals in the given specialty are indicated and the main possible approaches are substantiated. It is shown that with the emergence of a new type of information life, which is considered as a general humanitarian philosophical problem, it is necessary to humanize professional education. The problems of the theoretical analysis and determination of the ontological status of virtual reality, the phenomenon of human computer dependence are described. It is indicated that a special responsibility lies with computer specialists, whose professional training should include not only the assimilation of educational material to ensure successful professional activity in the future, but it must take into account the social needs of society.
FROM RESEARCH SKILLS TO RESEARCHER’S TRANSVERSAL COMPETENCE

Different intellectual traditions imbedded in cultural and education settings and theoretical approaches to the understanding of skills, competencies, and transversal skills bring about many uncertainties in the conceptualization of research skills and competencies; together with the social demands towards the quality of graduates' competencies these draw heavily on the changing process of education, quality of educational provision, and interferes with the quality of the graduates’ achievements. Doctoral students usually face a large number of theoretical sources to analyze and make an appropriate theoretical underpinning of research; they also have to meet the uncertainties, experience incompetence that interferes with the allocated time and quality of investigation. While the shift to competence approach in education is thus more complex than many accounts suggest, it does have major implications for important aspects of studies and educators' work. This article aims to initiate doctoral students' thinking of the cultural background of different intellectual traditions in education and identify the most appropriate theoretical sources for their research. The article does not, however, provide final definitions or completed ideas. Based on the experience of the most popular projects in skills’development and theoretical analysis the published considerations might trigger new problems for doctoral students’ investigation and start their navigation in the enormous pool of literature. The article introduces some approaches to understanding and defining research skills, researcher’s competencies, and researcher’s transversal competencies, their structure, and experiences of measuring.

Statistical Modeling and Analysis of Satellite Failure Based on 2-Weibull Segmented Model

Statistical modeling and analysis of satellite failure is an effective way to master the satellite operating status, and the results can provide important theoretical basis for the performance improvement of satellite reliability. In view of the dual-period characteristics of satellite failure distribution, a 2-Weibull segmented model for statistical modeling of satellite failure has been proposed in this paper. In order to improve the robustness of the parameter estimation for 2-Weibull segmented model, a parameter estimation method for 2-Weibull segmented model based on least squares Hough transform algorithm is continued to be proposed in this paper. And the feasibility and effectiveness of the parameter estimation method are verified by simulation experiments. The 2-Weibull segmented model is used for statistical modeling of 1584 satellite failure samples. The results show that, compared with the traditional single Weibull distribution model, the 2-Weibull segmented model proposed in this paper improves the fitting accuracy of satellite failure distribution by 46.15%.
Some Approaches Based on Interval-Valued Images and L-Fuzzy Mathematical Morphology for Segmenting Images Reconstructed from Noisy Sinograms

Two-dimensional image reconstruction from projections is a well known research field with different applications and using different sources, e.g., varying from medical imaging to a synchrotron laboratory.In the mathematical sense, we are looking for a two dimensional piecewise function with compact support for which a set of signals -the measurements, so called projections or sinograms -are known a priori.After solving the corresponding inverse problem using an appropriate numerical scheme, a collection of reconstructed (gray-scale) images are provided for the final user for further analysis.In practice, the sinogram is often affected by various source of noise which lead to artefacts in the reconstructed images.In this paper, we first convert the resulting gray-scale image that can be viewed as an L-fuzzy set, where L is a finite chain, into an interval-valued image whose values are non-empty, closed intervals of L, so as to express the uncertainty about its values.Subsequently, we apply four approaches of morphological image segmentation, all of which make use of the interval values of the image.Each of these approaches employs some type of morphological gradient and the watershed algorithm.We only consider transmission sinograms for this paper, as emission problems are beyond the scope of this paper.
DIGITALISASI FOTO JURNALISTIK ANALOG HARIAN KOMPAS

Before in digital format like we have today, photographs were kept in celuloid film or what we called as analog photography. Beside the fact that celuloid films need storage space and have to be organized by content, analog photographs also have a limited lifespan before they fade, decomposed or damaged. Quality of images starts to decline after 45 years of storage.With such facts, film preservation and archival from analog photographs into digital is necessary to salvage these documents. Analog digitalizing is also important because it will allow old photographs to become accessible for public or wider audience. Kompas as a daily newpspaper has managed to digitalize their collection of analog photographs from 1965-2005.Digital archiving involves few stages: collecting photographs, selecting, scanning, inserting description, cataloging and storing. Up to February 2020, digitalization team has archieved 93,952 film envelopes (about 2 million photoraphs) into 340,965 photos uploaded to digital archive. There were 55,451 photographs left without caption. This research is to discuss Kompas’ film digitalization and its challenges as well as alternative model suggestion that may be used by other newspapers.

Creative and Innovative Education-Based Free Illiteracy Cottage: An Effoert to Eradicate Illiteracy Among Suku Anak Dalam in Batanghari Regency

Suku Anak Dalam (SAD) in Kotoboyo Village, Batanghari Regency is an isolated community group that is currently in a transition phase towards modern life. Guided Village Service activities are carried out to bridge the transition process by providing creative and innovative education-based learning facilities to improve their quality of life. This service is aimed to foster and teach the importance of science by developing the ability to read and write. Therefore, this service establishes the illiterate-free cottage and education group as a means of creative and innovative learning. The learning process involves creating appropriate teaching aids and modules so they can be easily accepted by the target children. In the end, this creative and innovative education-based learning succeeded in increasing cognitive knowledge and learning motivation. Foster children who initially did not know letters and numbers become able to recognize and even write letters and numbers even though they are still in the initial stages. For families and parents of Suku Anak Dalam, the service team finally managed to direct them to actively participate in learning activities and have insight into healthy and clean lives. Many children have also understood the importance of hygiene so that the lives of the inner tribe children are expected to be better.
Seni Kreatif Dengan Penggunaan Medium Sisa Dalam Era Norma Baharu

Creativity involves thinking skills and thinking that conveys ideas, while critical thinking is thinking that assesses ideas. Creative thinking terminology also carries the meaning of thinking outside the box. The current scenario does not limit us to work, but rather become more creative in thinking of an idea. The creative idea in this artwork arose when a situation asked us to always stay at home, and barred us from going out looking for the material. The uniqueness in its process is the use of materials that replace canvas, acrylic or watercolor, and drawing tools. This is due to the difficulty in obtaining art supply sources due to the Movement Control Order (MCO/PKP) which is still in force. Referring to the scenario, why don't we look around to get an idea? What is the impact if we use existing materials around to be used as a medium? Have we ever considered taking such action when faced with this situation? Isn't that called creativity? Could this be what the New Norm means? This artwork has a back to the basic concept. When the new norm takes place, it is like a baby who needs to learn the norms of life. The abstract paintings created feature basic shapes such as squares and oval that we often see everywhere in our day. It describes the basic concepts as we begin to learn to draw. This is very much related to the new norm that we need to get used to and start from the basics. It’s not just about art, it’s about creativity.
IMAGE ENCRYPTION FOR SECURE INTERNET TRANSFER

Security is a crucial side to preserve the confidentiality of information such as pictures and text. The probability of an assailant attempting to access the image in the course of transferring process is high as assailant may get hold of important data. Therefore, encryption methods are used for securing the data. A novel image encryption algorithm that is a combination of the AES algorithm and the chaos sequence is proposed in this paper. The project will use AES for encryption and decryption of the image transfer because AES is capable of solving problem that cannot be resolved by different algorithms. The original image is transformed into cipher-image using a share secret key and this process is called encryption while the reverse of encryption process is known as decryption. This method’s sensitivity to the initial values and input image, even the tiniest changes within these values will result in significant changes in the encrypted image. We show that this approach can shield the image against different attacks exploitation using histogram analysis.
"Let's Consider What has Been Done" — the Limits of Admissibility in Simulation Learning

Practical preparation for primary specialized accreditation is not always available to the trainees of the professional retraining cycle. Most of the specialists undergo independent training using video tutorials posted on Internet resources. The analysis of the quality of the video manuals created according to the passport of the OSCE "emergency medical aid" station in the most cases showed the formality of the implementation of practical skills in the provision of emergency assistance. As a result, the accredited did not demonstrate the fulfillment of practical skills, but only indicated it, being guided by the principle "Let's consider that has been done".
BOARD RACE GAME AS AN ALTERNATIVE STRATEGY IN TEACHING VOCABULARY

Like other components of language in teaching, vocabulary needs special teaching strategy from teacher in order to make the students enrich the number of their vocabulary. This paper aims to discuss board race game as an alternative teaching strategy of vocabulary. Many experts and researchers have conducted studies about this game in teaching vocabulary and the results show significant improvement toward the enrichment of vocabulary after implementing board race game. The board race game has exciting steps in which they can encourage the students to become more active in teaching vocabulary. This game also presents new atmosphere in teaching and learning since it motivates the students to compete one another fairly

The Interface Between Intellectual Property and Information Technology Law

Abstract Over the years, intellectual property (IP) law has developed an increasingly profound link with both technological developments and the rules governing them. IP law is constantly challenged by new waves of technologies as often called to provide protection for them. At the same time, new technologies offer new ways to exploit protected works. Indeed, the more technology has become an autonomous subject matter governed by specific provisions, the more IP law has engaged in a constant dialogue with these provisions. This interaction between IP law and technology has significantly affected the contours of the field. In this chapter, I address the relationship between IP and the rules adopted to govern the specific technologies that are designed to handle information—known as ‘information technologies (IT)’. This set of provisions goes under the name of ‘IT law’. I examine the interface between IP and IT law from the standpoint of the IP scholars who have an interest in technology. In particular, I investigate how the IP/IT interface is, or could be regulated and how the rules regarding IP and IT law interact with each other. There is a circular relationship between law and technology as the former, while governing the latter, is also shaped by it and vice versa.
Semiotic Representation of Gender in Google Emojis: A Liberal Feminist Perspective

Modern technology has undoubtedly changed the way we communicate. Emoji is the latest development that crosses all language barriers and serves as a global language. The present study seeks to investigate how gender is semiotically represented in Google female emojis. The study is interpretive and qualitative in nature. By using Kress & Leeuwen (2006) the Grammar of Visual Design model, the study analyzed the stereotypical and professional (newly introduced) Google emojis for female and attempted to spot the tenets of liberal feminist movement. The revision of emojis by Google, with a belief that ‘this will empower young women and better reflect the pivotal roles women play in the world’ bespeaks the flourishing global liberal feminist movement. This acknowledgement is a feather in liberal feminist movement’s cap in that gender roles are considered social constructs. The new emojis duly construct women as coming out of the stereotypical womanish stuff and entering into professions that were once male-dominant.
Evolutionary Time Lines, Hypothesis of an AI+ARBased Virtual Museum

The contribution related to the processes of knowledge and enhancement of cultural heritage, based on the potential offered by Artificial Intelligence and Augmented Reality, proposes an analysis of the situation of L'Aquila's buildings ten years after the 2009 earthquake.The research, conducted on the basis of integrated surveys carried out before and after the earthquake, focuses on the application of AR/ VR devices through the implementation of AI.The aim is to propose a solution able to promote the use of the historical buildings of L'Aquila, activating at the same time the dynamics of cultural regeneration in the area, through the use of an App that uses AR+AI systems; a tour that can show with immediacy the urban architectural evolution, solving in part the intrinsic difficulties posed by the current situation of precarious visibility and accessibility of some noble buildings, subject to restoration, with the aim of highlighting the evolution of transformations, stylistic and structural changes produced by the different and stratified post-earthquake reconstructions.
SORRY, BUT...: PLATFORM APOLOGIES, ABUSE, AND CONSTRUCTING THE CULPABLE SUBJECT

Apologies have become a prominent feature of online platforms’ corporate communications. Whether in response to instances of harassment, security lapses, or political manipulation, official expressions of remorse or regret—often coupled with vows to “do better”—work to reconcile or recover a platform’s commitments in the face of public relations, economic, or regulatory pressure. Despite their prominence, however, apologies have received comparably less critical attention in research on harassment and abuse than other corporate responses. In this work, we employ discourse analysis to explore three high-profile apologies: former Reddit CEO Ellen Pao’s July 2015 apology for missteps in addressing the site’s abusive climate; Riot Games’ 2018 apology for hostility and sexual harassment at the company; and Twitch’s June 2020 apology in response to allegations that some streamers had engaged in offline sexual harassment--leading to online harassment of the alleged victims. Throughout our analysis, we pay particular attention to how apologies 1) construct and reproduce particular ideals of platforms and attendant actors and 2) distribute or assign culpability for harassment and abuse. What emerges is an outline of how this genre of corporate apology is emblematic individualist approach to structural problems like online harassment, while offering pseudo-empowerment to end users through new online "tools" that $2 are primarily responsible for using.
