Evaluation of quality scalability techniques for video transmission

The significant increase of the transmission of multimedia content over Internet are demanded new delivery strategies to assure a good quality of experience of the users. Transmission of video over packet networks is not an easy task due to multiple fluctuations of the network conditions. One possibility to improve the quality of some video streaming services is the combinate use of the scalable video coding and cross layer mechanisms that allow applications to adapt its traffic stream to the resources network that are available. In this paper, it is presented a performance evaluation of the three main scalability techniques: CGS (Coarse-Grained Scalability), FGS (Fine Grain scalability) and MGS (Medium Grain Scalability). In particular, we focus on determining what method is more appropriated for video transmission taking into account some video quality metrics like PSNR (Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio) and decoded frame rate. The results reveal that the rate-adaptive strategy and the MGS technique help avoid or reduce the congestion in networks obtaining a better quality in the received videos.
POLYCODE TEXT AS A MEANS OF IMPLEMENTATION OF THE TEXT-CENTRIC TEACHING TECHNOLOGY

Formation of spoken and written professional language of students is connected with the increase of the level of a set of their competences. The efficiency of this process largely depends on usage of the potential of the text-centric technology in the process of teaching the Ukrainian language for professional purposes because text is the main means for creation of professional context. The aim of the article is determination of directions of implementation of the textcentric teaching technology of the Ukrainian language for professional purposes at pedagogical institutions of higher education, and analysis of the functional load of polycode text in this context. A set of methods has been used in the research process: the theoretical methods (reflexive analysis and generalization of literary sources for clarification of the level of solving the issue in the modern scientific area), the methods of visualization and generalization (for elucidation of the ways of usage of polycode texts while teaching the course). On the basis of analysis of scientific definitions of the concept “text” and its main features, there has been formulated a linguo-didactic definition of educational text and vectors of implementation of the text-centric teaching technology of the Ukrainian language for professional purposes at pedagogical institutions of higher education. Research of polycode text as a means of implementation of the text-centric teaching has been conducted, the main kinds of polycode texts and their functional load in the course of the Ukrainian language for professional purposes have been defined and analyzed. The exceptional didactic potential of hypertext as a modern form of organization of material, which is becoming especially important in conditions of distant education, is emphasized. The most efficient organizational forms of working with hypertext have been defined. Considering the features of the structure of polycode text (combination of the verbal and nonverbal components), document has been defined as its specific form. The holistic view of the studied issue is illustrated by the constructed model of the textcentric teaching technology of the Ukrainian language for professional purposes at pedagogical institutions of higher education.
2020 계룡세계군문화엑스포 성공적 개최방안

From the early 1980s, military families and military-related facilities moved to Gyeryong City, Chungcheongnam-do with the relocation of the Army Headquarters, Navy Headquarters and Air Force Headquarters which are the backbones of the Republic of Korea''s national defense.As Korea is the only divided country in the world that overcame the pain of the Korean War, the city of Gyeryong has held an annual military culture festival on military culture since 2007 to bring together the hopes of the people who aspire to end the war and to create a place of harmony and peace.In 2016, based on the experience of the military culture festival, the organizing committee has been in full swing to prepare for the event after achieving the government’s approval of the “2020 Gyeryong World Military Culture Expo,” which had been the biggest project since the opening of Gyeryong City.The Gyeryong World Military Culture has a different purpose than the general festival. Marking the 70th anniversary of the outbreak of the Korean War, the event will be held with the aim of reflecting on the importance of peace and spreading consensus for the creation of world peace along with the meaning and lessons of the Korean War.Therefore, the preparation, operation, and follow-up measures should be successfully carried out to foster the security and veterans spirit of the Republic of Korea and to help create a consensus to participate in the maintenance of world peace. In this regard, I would like to propose a successful hosting of the 2020 Gyeryong World Military Culture Expo through this paper.
Construction and Evaluation of Empirical Model for Estimating UV Erythemal Irradiance using Global Horizontal Irradiance in South Korea

Ultraviolet (UV; 100~400 nm) radiation, which is a short-wavelength part of the solar spectrum, has harmful effects on the human body, such as skin aging, sunburn, and skin cancer.Because overexposure to UV causes erythema in human skin, the UV erythemal irradiance (UVER) is provided to people as an index of the risks of UV irradiation.In this study, statistical empirical models for estimating surface UVER were developed and evaluated at Gangneung, Pohang, Mokpo, and Gosan sites in South Korea, where UVER and global horizontal irradiance (GHI) observation data have been collected for a long period.For the establishment of an empirical model, the clearness index of the GHI (  ), total column ozone, and solar zenith angle were used as independent variables.The underestimations of the empirical models were improved by grouping the dataset with   .The improved models exhibited an average R 2 of 90% at the four sites during the validation period.The atmospheric transmittance of the UVER was reconstructed using the empirical model at the GHI observation network during past 5 year data in South Korea, and the monthly variation showed seasonality with high values in May-August and low values in December-January.

Look It Up: Bilingual and Monolingual Dictionaries Improve Neural Machine Translation

Despite advances in neural machine translation (NMT) quality, rare words continue to be problematic. For humans, the solution to the rare-word problem has long been dictionaries, but dictionaries cannot be straightforwardly incorporated into NMT. In this paper, we describe a new method for “attaching” dictionary definitions to rare words so that the network can learn the best way to use them. We demonstrate improvements of up to 3.1 BLEU using bilingual dictionaries and up to 0.7 BLEU using monolingual source-language dictionaries.

WER-BERT: Automatic WER Estimation with BERT in a Balanced Ordinal Classification Paradigm

Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) systems are evaluated using Word Error Rate (WER), which is calculated by comparing the number of errors between the ground truth and the transcription of the ASR system. This calculation, however, requires manual transcription of the speech signal to obtain the ground truth. Since transcribing audio signals is a costly process, Automatic WER Evaluation (e-WER) methods have been developed to automatically predict the WER of a speech system by only relying on the transcription and the speech signal features. While WER is a continuous variable, previous works have shown that positing e-WER as a classification problem is more effective than regression. However, while converting to a classification setting, these approaches suffer from heavy class imbalance. In this paper, we propose a new balanced paradigm for e-WER in a classification setting. Within this paradigm, we also propose WER-BERT, a BERT based architecture with speech features for e-WER. Furthermore, we introduce a distance loss function to tackle the ordinal nature of e-WER classification. The proposed approach and paradigm are evaluated on the Librispeech dataset and a commercial (black box) ASR system, Google Cloud's Speech-to-Text API. The results and experiments demonstrate that WER-BERT establishes a new state-of-the-art in automatic WER estimation.

Author(s): Scordilis, Emmanouel; Theodoulidis, Nikolaos; Kalogeras, Ioannis; Margaris, Basil; Klimis, Nikolaos; Skarlatoudis`, Andreas; Stewart, Jonathan P; Boore, David M; Seyhan, Emel; Savvaidis, Alexandros; Mylonakis, George; Pelekis, Panagiotis | Abstract: An updated Hellenic database of strong ground motion recordings together with the earthquake source properties and the site characterization of the recording stations are described here. The strong motion database consists of 2751 corrected recordings from 497earthquakes of focal depths hl45km and 338 recording stations, with source to site distances up to 300 km, covering the period from 1973-2015. The strong motion recordings were collected from Hellenic Strong Motion Networks operated by the Institute of Engineering Seismology and Earthquake Engineering (ITSAK), the Institute of Geodynamics, National Observatory of Athens (NOA-IG), as well as from the Civil Engineering Department, University of Patras (UPAN). All recordings were processed based on well-established routines and methodologies applied in worldwide strong motion databases such as the PEER, NGA-West2 database. The final database includes epicenter locations, focal depths, moment magnitudes (directly estimated or equivalently derived after a conversion procedure) for a significant number of earthquakes with Mg4.5and a number of finite fault plane solutions corresponding to earthquakes with Mg6.0. The data is compiled from existing catalogs published by Hellenic and international seismological centers. The properties for each recording station include surface geology, a measured or estimated time-averaged shear wave velocity in the upper 30m (VS30), and information on instrument housing. Out of the 338sites, 75 have in-situ shear wave velocity measurements while for the rest VS30 values are derived from proxy-based relationships based on terrain or geology combined with surface gradient.

Simpler Constructions of Asymmetric Primitives from Obfuscation

We revisit constructions of asymmetric primitives from obfuscation and give simpler alternatives. We consider public-key encryption, (hierarchical) identity-based encryption ((H)IBE), and predicate encryption. Obfuscation has already been shown to imply PKE by Sahai and Waters (STOC’14) and full-fledged functional encryption by Garg et al. (FOCS’13). We simplify all these constructions and reduce the necessary assumptions on the class of circuits that the obfuscator needs to support. Our PKE scheme relies on just a PRG and does not need any puncturing. Our IBE and bounded HIBE schemes convert natural key-delegation mechanisms from (recursive) applications of puncturable PRFs to IBE and HIBE schemes. Our most technical contribution is an unbounded HIBE, which uses (public-coin) differing-inputs obfuscation for circuits and whose proof relies on a pebbling-based hybrid argument by Fuchsbauer et al. (ASIACRYPT’14). All our constructions are anonymous, support arbitrary inputs, and have compact keys and ciphertexts.
Statistical Analysis of PD Sessions at Fujairah HCT Colleges, with R: How to teach statistical concepts by using R

The data, which was collected from the Professional Development sessions that occurred at Higher Colleges of Technology, Fujairah campuses, UAE, in April 2017, is mainly categorical data describing demographic elements and general characteristics of members of the College. Many Faculty members, administrators and employees presented some sessions which were attended by other Faculty members and administrators. Thus, a total of 13 divisions were represented. A total of 41 talks was given. At the beginning of each talk, the attendees were asked to sign a form mentioning their names and departments. These forms are uploaded onto the portal of the College and are accessible to any member of HCT since they may constitute evidence for the performance evaluation of the instructors. Consequently, the demographic elements can also be used for statistical interest. The demographic elements of the attendees and presenters offered some interesting results about general behavior of attendees and some ideas about popular subjects and also decisions to be taken for future PDs. By studying this real world data, we present a convincing way to teach some basic statistical notions by using exclusively the statistical software package R, with no other teaching materials, which can be extended to more complicated statistical techniques.
Internet Voting Protocols: An Analysis of the Cryptographic Operations per Phase

Internet voting is a good option for Colombia thanks to the expansion of mobile technology throughout the country and the interest of the government to implement the e-voting. For this reason, we study the e-voting protocols to establish if any of them is suitable for Colombian elections. However some of them imply a great number of cryptographic operations and therefore a great computational cost for the devices, which sometimes exceed their capacity. In this paper, we determine the number of cryptographic operations per phase of four e-voting protocols: one based on blind signatures (Li, Hwang and Lai protocol), one based on mix nets (Meng protocol), one based on homomorphic encryption (EVIV protocol) and one used in real electoral processes (I-Voting for Estonian Elections). Then, we analyze the changes in the number of operations when the number of voters, number of votes, number of authorities and number of candidates increase for small, medium and large elections. Finally, we establish the protocol that imply a less number of cryptographic operations and is suitable for big electoral processes, such as congress elections in Colombia.
Online Refinement of Cartesian Abstraction Heuristics

In classical planning as heuristic search, the guiding heuristic function is typically treated as a black box. While many heuristics support refinement operations, they are typically only used for its initialization before search, but further refinement during search could make use of additional information not available in the initial state. We explore online refinement for additive Cartesian abstraction heuristics. These abstractions are computed through counter-example guided abstraction refinement, which can be applied online as well to further improve the abstractions. We introduce three operations, refinement, merging, and reordering, which are combined to a converging online-refinement algorithm. We describe how online refinement can effectively be used in A* and evaluate our approach on the IPC benchmarks, where it outperforms offline-generated abstractions in many domains.
On the (Non-)Movement of WHY: A Reply to Miyagawa (2017)

In this paper, we try to show that Miyagawa’s (2017) analysis is only partially on the right track. We believe that Miyagawa’s (2017) observation that WHY can be externally merged under TP is not completely wrong. The difference of our position from Miyagawa’s lies in our proposal that WHY be externally merged as a CP-modifier (Ko 2005) or as a VP-modifier (Tsai 2008). We will see that there are two types of WHY in Korean, and we will also encounter novel data concerning wh-less whquestions. Defending Ko’s (2005) CP-modifier hypothesis, we make a criticism of Miyagawa’s (2017) approach, and then try to come up with a (very tentative) alternative account which can explain the counterexamples to Ko’s CMH.
Proportional Controller from Control Theory for Tuning cooling scheme of Simulated Annealing algorithm

To solve difficult problems of combinatorial optimization, heuristic methods such as Simulated Annealing (SA) and Threshold algorithm (TA) have been proposed. Both SA and TA should have adequate characteristics to explore efficiently the space of solutions. The process to determine these characteristics is known as parameter tuning problem. There is a strong interest in developing techniques to adjust parameters correctly, since the heuristic algorithms have a great applicability in industrial problems. Given the quantitative nature of multiple parameters it is possible to propose the selection of the best parameters of a heuristic as a combinatorial optimization problem. In this paper, a new tuning method based on the proportional controller derived from classical control theory for tuning the cooling scheme in real time is presented. Experimentation shows that this method has a better performance than the classical one.

A Comparative Study of Long-term Economic Policies in Iran and the Russian Federation

Having a clear road map to achieve social, economic, and cultural excellence is essential and valuable for every country. Such a road map shows various priorities and main issues of a country to draw attention, promotion, and financial and social investment on these issues. Concerning the significance of this issue and usefulness of intercountry comparison, the primary purpose of this paper was to conduct a comparative study between macro policies of the Islamic Republic of Iran and long-term economic objectives of the Russian Federation. We applied a descriptive-analytical method in this research and compared two countries by using library method and overhead documents. The regional economic and political cooperation of two countries, as well as their sanctioned economies, highlights the necessity of familiarizing with mass economic policies of Russia. The findings of this research have practical aspect for Iranian policymakers and planners.JEL Classification: F51, F52
