Inverse Policy Evaluation for Value-based Sequential Decision-making

Value-based methods for reinforcement learning lack generally applicable ways to derive behavior from a value function. Many approaches involve approximate value iteration (e.g., $Q$-learning), and acting greedily with respect to the estimates with an arbitrary degree of entropy to ensure that the state-space is sufficiently explored. Behavior based on explicit greedification assumes that the values reflect those of \textit{some} policy, over which the greedy policy will be an improvement. However, value-iteration can produce value functions that do not correspond to \textit{any} policy. This is especially relevant in the function-approximation regime, when the true value function can't be perfectly represented. In this work, we explore the use of \textit{inverse policy evaluation}, the process of solving for a likely policy given a value function, for deriving behavior from a value function. We provide theoretical and empirical results to show that inverse policy evaluation, combined with an approximate value iteration algorithm, is a feasible method for value-based control.

Adaptively Innovative Methods For Assessing The Achievements Of Secondary School Students

The article discusses the possibility of updating the school control and assessment system, taking into account the guidelines of the federal state educational standards of new generation general education. The uniqueness of the paths for updating the school control and evaluation system chosen by the authors is determined by the mechanisms that ensure its dynamic nature. Methods and tools for assessing students ’achievements in these conditions cannot be developed by theory without taking into account continuously changing practice, and at the same time they cannot be “transplanted” into practice in an un adapted form. The advantage of adaptive-innovative assessment methods and tools is that they provide an interactive mode that allows controlling and adjusting the educational process, and, as a result, creating conditions for the intensification and individualization of schoolchildren’s learning. The “Interactive platform” model is of practical importance, the principles of which are considered in the article: adequacy, isomorphism, generalization, autonomy, structurality. "Interactive platform" is, on the one hand, an electronic database - a bank of adaptive-innovative assessment methods and tools, and, on the other hand, an electronic (constantly updated) training manual used to master adaptive-innovative mechanisms and design methods. The methodological support of the “Interactive platform” creates the conditions for individual, group and collective online design of adaptively innovative methods and assessment tools in the interaction of subjects of the educational process in a synchronous exchange of information in real time.
Scientific and Methodological Foundation of Improvement of the Students` Coordination Abilities at the Table Tennis Training Lessons

The problems of physical education and health are very important due to the world situation. The article contains information about interests of students of higher educational institutions: we have noted the rising interest to the table tennis, as a spectacular kind of sport.&#x0D; Table tennis is one of the most popular kinds of sport among students. It helps to develop following skills: accuracy, speed and reaction speed, explosive power, sense of rhythm operational thinking, the ability to concentrate attention and coordination. Table tennis has been recommended as the most perspective kind of sport, which is available for health.&#x0D; The article provides an example of structure and content of physical education training lessons with students of higher educational institutions with the use of table tennis. Students of the experimental group worked at the increasing their coordination abilities at the table tennis lessons. The training was divided into three parts: preparation, the main part and the conclusion. Each part had the own differences. The preparation part took up 12-15% of the total time and was aimed to involve and warm up the big muscles.&#x0D; The main part of the lesson took up 75-80% of the total time. This part was divided into three: exercises without the ball, exercises with the ball and the racket, training games. The final part of the lesson was about 10% of the total time. Exercises were aimed at relaxing: breathing, flexibility exercises, jogging, walking.&#x0D; In order to improve the coordination skills it necessary to remember for methodological principles: coordination exercises should be at the beginning of the lesson, exercises should be difficult, limited of the number and duration, exercises should be at the defined time, using of the general physical exercises.
The Challenges of Pandemic on Elections and Democracies

Elections involve a deliberate and purposeful action that translates the will of the masses and givesthe electorate a platform for political participation. Most countries are representative democraciesand therefore elect the representatives through elections. With the spread of the outbreak of COVID19, countries are left with few options to ensure the safety of voters. Thus, COVID-19 has hugefallouts not only in the field of health and economy but in elections and governance as well. Theelection process starts from registration of voters to timely declaration of results and auditing andevaluating the process. In the face of pandemic, election management bodies are either postponingor conducting elections as scheduled.The paper will study the different ways in which countrieshave responded to the crisis and managed elections with possible alternatives available to castvotes. The paper will also discuss in brief how coronavirus has put democracies under stress bystudying Poland and Hungary. These countries have resorted to excessive measures that havebecome a threat to the rights of the citizens. Case Study approach has been used to study responsesto conduct elections in challenging times.
Innovative teaching methods applicable at the classes of percussion instruments

About 100 years have passed since the first classes of percussion instruments appeared. In the early days, when professional training intended for percussion performers dated to, teachers faced a large number of problems, in particular, lack of a full set of percussion instruments in the classroom, the availability of instructive, educational, pedagogical and concert repertoire alongside scientific and methodological literature. As a result, the work of the first educators was based, first of all, on their personal pedagogical experience and many years of performing practice. In this regard, the appearance of the first teaching aids was a milestone in the development of professional training in playing percussion instruments. For a century-long period, not so much educational and methodological literature has appeared, which was conditioned by a number of objective and subjective factors. At the same time, each methodological manual has taken its rightful place in the development of teaching methods for playing the percussion instruments. However, time is relentlessly moving forward and, unfortunately, today, they have become less in demand, as they do not always meet the modern requirements and approaches to teaching how to play the percussion instruments. Today, Ukrainian scientists and teachers have free access to a large amount of information. Therefore, they have an opportunity to familiarise themselves with interesting developments of our foreign colleagues. However, in most cases, they cannot be used in domestic pedagogical practice, as they are not adapted to the current realities of the educational system of Ukraine due to various socio-economic and cultural factors. Thus, the issues related to the need to search for the most effective forms, methods, and approaches to teaching how to play the percussion instruments is of particular importance and relevance. The article is devoted to the methods based on the playing form of instructions which are used in schools of aesthetic education and, in particular, at the classes of percussion instruments. The purpose of the work is to present new promising areas in teaching percussion playing, based on the author’s pedagogical practice. These methods were used in the study: analysis, observation, deduction and induction. The following issues are considered in the article: the influence of learners’ age characteristics on the choice of teaching methods, the essence of the group form of training and its importance for activating the pedagogical process, traditional and non-traditional approaches to teaching / learning, as well as the analysis of the methods that are widely used in the author’s teaching practice at the classes of the percussion instruments playing. As a result of the study, some new ideas were proposed related to the training at the initial stage and the ways of their implementation by introducing the methods of collective listening, imitation, “playing with the ball”, “sweet tooth”, etc. into the pedagogical practice.
The Viability of Leap Motion Implementation in Controlling Drone using K-Nearest Neighbor Algorithm

ABSTRAK Pengendalian drone secara konvensional menggunakan joystik mengurangi fleksibilitas pergerakannya. Metoda pengendalian akan menjadi lebih bebas dan fleksibel dengan menggunakan pergerakan tangan. Metode pengendalian dengan pergerakan tangan ini menghasilkan data set dalam jumlah yang besar yang mengendalikan arah drone. Dengan alasan tersebut, Leap Motion Controller dibutuhkan untuk merekam dan mengenali contoh-contoh pose tangan dan mengekstrak data set. Metode pendekatan yang di lakukan adalah menggunakan algoritma K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN) untuk mengklasifikasikan nilai x, y, z, Pitch, Roll dan Yaw yang berdasarkan pergerakan pesawat konvensional. Riset ini fokus pada nilai akurasi dalam menerapkan peralatan Leap Motion dalam mengontrol arah drone dengan menggunakan algoritma KNN. Hasil eksperimen menunjukkan bahwa nilai k=3 menghasilkan tingkat akurasi sebesar 72.8%. Kata kunci: Drone Controller, Hand Gesture, K-Nearest Neighbor Algorithm, Leap Motion, K-value ABSTRACT Controlling a drone can be more entertaining and flexible by using a hand esture compare to the conventional mode by using a joystick. However, a drone controlling using the hand gestures produce a large number of data sets that drive the drone’s movements in particular. For this reason, a Leap Motion Controller is required to record and recognize the hand pose samples and extract the data sets. Our approach is to use the K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN) algorithm as our method in order to classify the x, y, z, Pitch, Roll and Yaw values which are based on the conventional aircraft motions. This research focuses on the accuracy value of implementing the Leap Motion device to control a drone with the KNN algorithm. The result shows that the k-values from 3 obtain 72.8% of accuracy Keywords: Drone Controller, Hand Gesture, K-Nearest Neighbor Algorithm, Leap Motion, K-value
Analysis and Improvement of General Methods in Infrared Image Detail Enhancement

To increase effectiveness and acquire better performance in infrared image visualization, several general methods and the mathematical principles used for detail enhancement are analyzed in this study. In split method, where adopts guided filter to split the image into detail components and base components. Its side effect in compression is brought by increasing detail components' gray value. Then a simplified local processing measure based on image matting is designed to lower the influence. In gradient domain method, a gradient gain factor function is revised resulting from gray value overflow. Meanwhile the method cited solves energy function with high computational complexity and great occupation in memory. In this paper, a matting method is proposed and tested to save more than 30% of time in solving system of linear equations and more than 70 times in matrix storage.

aspBEEF: Explaining Predictions Through Optimal Clustering

In this paper we introduce aspBEEF, a tool for generating explanations for the outcome of an arbitrary machine learning classifier. This is done using Grover&rsquo;s et al. framework known as Balanced English Explanations of Forecasts (BEEF) that generates explanations in terms of in terms of finite intervals over the values of the input features. Since the problem of obtaining an optimal BEEF explanation has been proved to be NP-complete, BEEF existing implementation computes an approximation. In this work we use instead an encoding into the Answer Set Programming paradigm, specialized in solving NP problems, to guarantee that the computed solutions are optimal.
Efficient Constant-Round MPC with Identifiable Abort and Public Verifiability.

Recent years have seen a tremendous growth in the interest in secure multiparty computation (MPC) and its applications. While much progress has been made concerning its efficiency, many current, state-of-the-art protocols are vulnerable to Denial of Service attacks, where a cheating party may prevent the honest parties from learning the output of the computation, whilst remaining anonymous. The security model of identifiable abort aims to prevent these attacks, by allowing honest parties to agree upon the identity of a cheating party, who can then be excluded in the future. Several existing MPC protocols offer security with identifiable abort against a dishonest majority of corrupted parties. However, all of these protocols have a round complexity that scales linearly with the depth of the circuit (and are therefore unsuitable for use in high latency networks) or use cryptographic primitives or techniques that have a high computational overhead.
Quality of Service (QoS): Measurements of Video Streaming

Nowadays video streaming is growing over the social clouds, where end-users always want to share High Definition (HD) videos among friends. Mostly videos were recorded via smartphones and other HD devices and short time videos have a big file size. The big file size of videos required high bandwidth to upload and download on the Internet and also required more time to load in a web page for play. So avoiding this problem social cloud compress videos during the upload for smooth play and fast loading in a web page. Compression decreases the video quality which also decreases the quality of experience of end users. In this paper we measure the QoS of different standard video file formats on social clouds; they varied from each other in resolution, audio/video bitrate, and storage size.
Ideas Of Continuous Education Forrural Teachers In The History Of Russian Education

The article presents the results of a historical and pedagogical analysis of the theory and practice of preparing teachers for work in the specific conditions of a rural educational organization (rural school). The need for targeted vocational training and education of rural (public) teachers was indicated by K.D. Ushinsky and many other progressive figures in the education of Russiain XIX - early XX centuries. It is they who own the most important provisions and the first practices of vocational training and additional professional education for teachers of the domestic rural school. The professional pedagogical activity of a rural teacher has its significant specific features. At the same time, it is influenced by the current trends in the development of society and education as an institution that determines the future of this society, and should appropriately reflect these new developments. Such trends include ideas about the continuity of teacher education, the origins of which we can observe in reflections on the rural teacher among those who laid the foundations of Russian pedagogical science. The article discusses the theoretical provisions and practical recommendations set forth in the works of Russian scholars of the past, which, from the point of view of the authors, are relevant at present and in the future. The paper traces the sources of systemic approach, consistency and continuity, diversification and variability of continuing teacher education. The authors suggest strategic and tactical directions for promoting these ideas in the practice of preparing rural teachers.

Educating The Teachers To Design Students Individual Educational Results

The article is devoted to the problem of identifying ways of supplementary education teachers’ professional development as subjects of the educational process individualization. The new components of the content of teachers’ professional training, aimed to form their readiness for the design of individual educational results of students are substantiated. The design of students individual educational results requires the formation of special teachers competencies to analyze the social situation of students, goal-setting of their educational advancement, implementation of subject-subject interactions, evaluation of the results achieved in the event-activity formats. The article describes an interactive model of training aimed to identify and eliminate the deficiencies of professional pedagogical experience that prevent the effective development of the designing individual educational results of students’ technology. The main components of this model are described as the steps of a joint project aimed to develop the existing practice of supplementary education individualization. The novelty of the research results is that the design of students’ individual educational results is considered as an innovative mechanism of the educational process individualization, focused on the acquisition by students of new opportunities for personal and professional self-determination in the context of the social situation of development. The concept of educational process individualization illustrates its focus on meaning-formation and expanding the range of individual possibilities of each child in independent decision of a certain circle of creative tasks that define the prospects for its further promotion of an individual educational trajectory.
How Quantum Information Can Improve Social Welfare

It is known that quantum resources can allow us to achieve a family of equilibria that can have sometimes a better social welfare, while guaranteeing privacy. We use graph games to propose a way to build non-cooperative games from graph states, and we show how to achieve an unlimited improvement with quantum advice compared to classical advice.
A Novel Method for Sorting Radar Signal Based on Welch Power Spectrum characteristics

Abstract The accuracy rate of current sorting methods of radar emitter signal is not high and they are sensitive to the signal-noise-rate (SNR). To solve these problems, a novel sorting method is proposed. Firstly, Welch power spectrum of the received signal is analyzed and its energy is normalized. Then its complexity characteristics are extracted to reduce dimension and sort easily, and are used as the sorting parameters. The last sorting is accomplished by KFCM algorithm. According to simulation results, the Complexity characteristics of Welch Power Spectrum have excellent separability and stability in low SNR.
Long-term word frequency dynamics derived from Twitter are corrupted: A bespoke approach to detecting and removing pathologies in ensembles of time series

Maintaining the integrity of long-term data collection is an essential scientific practice. As a field evolves, so too will that field's measurement instruments and data storage systems, as they are invented, improved upon, and made obsolete. For data streams generated by opaque sociotechnical systems which may have episodic and unknown internal rule changes, detecting and accounting for shifts in historical datasets requires vigilance and creative analysis. Here, we show that around 10\% of day-scale word usage frequency time series for Twitter collected in real time for a set of roughly 10,000 frequently used words for over 10 years come from tweets with, in effect, corrupted language labels. We describe how we uncovered problematic signals while comparing word usage over varying time frames. We locate time points where Twitter switched on or off different kinds of language identification algorithms, and where data formats may have changed. We then show how we create a statistic for identifying and removing words with pathological time series. While our resulting process for removing `bad' time series from ensembles of time series is particular, the approach leading to its construction may be generalizeable.
