Phenomenological Study on the Experience of Adult Learners of the 'Late Learner' Doctoral Program

본 연구는 박사과정에 도전한 “늦깎이” 성인학습자의 체험에 대한 의미와 본질을 탐색하고자 함을목적으로 하였다. 이를 통해 오늘날의 교육 현상에 대한 지평을 확장하는 한편, ‘늦깎이’ 박사과정이라는 교육 현상에 대한 실천적 시사점을 논의하고자 한다. 연구방법으로 van Manen의 해석학적 현상학을 기반으로 체험적 공간성, 체험적 신체성, 체험적 시간성, 체험적 관계성의 네 가지 실존체로분석하여 탐색하였다. 연구 참여자들의 심층면담을 통하여 ‘늦깎이’ 박사과정 성인학습자들의 체험은총 4개의 본질적 주제와 그에 따른 주제가 10개 도출되었다. 네 가지 본질적 주제는 ‘성장에 따른 성숙한 자아’, ‘초월적 학습자’, ‘인생 끝이 아닌 또 다른 시작’, ‘평생을 통해 이루어지는 학습’이었다. 이를 해석학적 현상학으로 기술하면 첫째, 연구 참여자들은 지적 호기심 충족과 심리적 만족으로 인해성숙한 삶을 영위하며 둘째, 나이 듦의 신체적 한계를 극복하는 지식을 향한 초월적 학습자의 특성을가지며 셋째, 업무와 학문의 만남은 연속성을 가진 직업으로 재탄생하여 자신의 발전을 넘어 사회발전에 이바지하고픈 본질적 의미를 확인하였다. 마지막으로 배움과 가르침의 순환적 삶을 통해 평생학습자로 스스로 체화된 기저를 가지고 있었다. 이를 통해 종합적으로 볼 때, ‘늦깎이’ 박사과정 체험의의미 기저에는 학습 그 자체에 대한 즐거움과 학습열정에 의한 현상임을 나타내고 있다. 이를 바탕으로 결론에서는 본 연구를 통해 나타난 교육현상에 대한 실천적 시사점을 논의한다.The purpose of this thesis is to explore the meaning and nature of the experience of a ‘late learner’ adult learner who challenged the doctoral program. This expands the horizon of today s educational phenomenon and discusses practical implications of the educational phenomenon of the “late learner” doctoral program. Based on van Manen s hermeneutical phenomenology, the research method was analyzed by analyzing four kinds of existent objects: lived space, lived body, lived time, and lived human relation. Through the in-depth interviews of the participants, the experience of ‘late learner’ doctoral course adult learners resulted in four essential themes and ten themes. The four essential themes were mature ego by growth , transcendental learners , another start, not the end of life , Learning done throughout life-long . In terms of hermeneutic phenomenology, first, research participants lead a mature life due to their intellectual curiosity and psychological satisfaction second, it has characteristics of transcendental learners toward knowledge that overcomes the physical limitations of aging. Third, the meeting between work and academic is reborn as a career with continuity and confirmed the essential meaning to contribute to social development beyond its own development. Finally, they had the basis of themselves embodied as lifelong learners through the cyclical life of learning and teaching. By this, when judging comprehensively, The meaning of ’late learner’ doctoral experience is based on the enjoyment of learning itself and the phenomenon of learning passion. Based on this, the conclusions discusses practical implications of educational phenomena through this study.
Machine Translation for Machines: the Sentiment Classification Use Case

We propose a neural machine translation (NMT) approach that, instead of pursuing adequacy and fluency (human-oriented quality criteria), aims to generate translations that are best suited as input to a natural language processing component designed for a specific downstream task (a criterion). Towards this objective, we present a reinforcement learning technique based on a new candidate sampling strategy, which exploits the results obtained on the downstream task as weak feedback. Experiments in sentiment classification of Twitter data in German and Italian show that feeding an English classifier with machine-oriented translations significantly improves its performance. Classification results outperform those obtained with translations produced by general-purpose NMT models as well as by an approach based on reinforcement learning. Moreover, our results on both languages approximate the classification accuracy computed on gold standard English tweets.
A Critical Analysis of ISO 17825 ('Testing methods for the mitigation of non-invasive attack classes against cryptographic modules').

The ISO standardisation of ‘Testing methods for the mitigation of non-invasive attack classes against cryptographic modules’ (ISO/IEC 17825:2016) specifies the use of the Test Vector Leakage Assessment (TVLA) framework as the sole measure to assess whether or not an implementation of (symmetric) cryptography is vulnerable to differential side-channel attacks. It is the only publicly available standard of this kind, and the first side-channel assessment regime to exclusively rely on a TVLA instantiation.
Understanding social perceptions towards interacting with on-skin interfaces in public.

Wearable devices have evolved towards intrinsic human augmentation, unlocking the human skin as an interface for seamless interaction. However, the non-traditional form factor of these on-skin interfaces, as well as the gestural interactions performed on them may raise concerns for public wear. These perceptions will influence whether a new form of technology will eventually be accepted, or rejected by society. Therefore, it is essential for researchers to consider the societal implications of device design. In this paper, we investigate the third person perceptions of a user's interactions with an on-skin touch sensor. Specifically, we examine social perceptions towards the placement of the on-skin interface in different body locations, as well as gestural interactions performed on the device. The study was conducted in the United States and Taiwan to examine cross-cultural attitudes towards device usage. The results of this structured examination offer insight into the design of on-skin interfaces for public use.

The main developments in the education system in Russia in 2018

In 2018, the main developments in the education system can be divided into the two unequal phases: one before the President’s May 2018 Decree and the other after it. Before May 2018, the main attention was focused on teachers’ salaries; the “struggle” to raise them to the average pay in a relevant region was already waged for six years running. Average salaries of higher-education teaching personnel attract less attention though by 2000 their value was to be equal to 200 percent of the average salary in a relevant subject of the Russian Federation where the higher educational institution was situated. From May 2018, the main focus in education was switched over to development of the “Education” national project and the volume of budget funding to be allocated on the specified goals. In addition, in the higher education system serious debates started on the issue of state accreditation of higher educational establishments.
The Formation Process and Current Issues of Regional Centers for Children

Since the amendment of Child Welfare Law in 2003, the regional centers for children have been a part of the child welfare system, providing child-care services for families in poverty. In Korea, the regional centers for children were established during the poverty movement in the 1970s and have been developed as childcare providers for poor children since the financial crisis. However, the identity of regional centers for children is being threatened as the universal perspective on caring and the public values of caring services are being strengthened. There has raised a controversy around the role of regional centers for children that provide child-care services for vulnerable families. In addition, the survival of the regional centers for children is being threatened due to some issues regarding the content of their program as it is similar to those of other child-care agencies, the lack of cooperation among the ministries of government addressing public needs for child-care services, the poor working conditions of center employees, and the poor quality of services. The purpose of this study is to examine the formation process of the regional centers for children. After that, we discuss the current issues of the regional centers for children and seek alternatives that can settle the problems and respond properly to social changes.

Examining how pupil-mutiny constitutes a security-threat for secondary school teachers

The paper interrogates how current secondary school teachers contain pupil-mutiny, as it constitutes a security–threat for them and others. The paper is both conceptual and empirical in nature. This is the qualitative case study design. Interviewing technique and document analyses were used to collect data from three selected secondary schools that have very recently faced an unabated pupil-mutiny. Research findings reveal that firstly, pupil-mutiny could come in the form of irregular lesson attendance by pupils. Secondly, pupil-mutiny could assume an ongoing lesson disruptions by pupils. Thirdly, that the hostile schooling environment could incubate pupil-mutiny. Fourthly, adolescence stage engulfing myriad secondary school pupils has an impact on their mutinous behaviour. Lastly, uninspiring lesson delivery inside the classroom instigates pupil-mutiny. The researcher recommends that to salvage the future of myriad pupils, all forms of pupil mutinous behaviour have to be opposed and defeated.Keywords: Adolescence, Disruptions, Hostile, Irregular, Pupil-mutineers, Uninspiring

An Image Denoising Method Based on P-M Model with Phase Congruency

This paper proposes a novel method for noise reduction based on Perona-Malik model. Traditional Perona-Malik model computes the diffusion coefficient by using image gradient, while in this paper, we use the phase congruency. The phase congruency is an illumination and contrast invariant method for detecting features of interest in an image, such as edges and corners. In fact, it not only enhances the features of interest in images but also can compensate for noise. Compared to the classical P-M method, as well as the bilateral filtering and non-local means algorithm, the experiments on real natural images demonstrated that the proposed method is effective at removing noise with great edge preservation.

A Study on the Cases of Utilizing Lighting Devices for Unplugged Activities Software Education at Elementary and Middle School

The classic system in computing education that employs theory and practice in parallel has become unsuitable for diversified areas and convergent learning according to the increase in the school population and their diverse needs. Therefore, deep contemplation as to new education methodologies and class design is needed. By particularly investigating computational thinking and unplugged activities, this study aims to design the education contents utilizing lighting devices for unplugged software education of elementary and middle school students, and propose plans to apply them. It is expected that students will naturally experience connections between subjects and convergent learning on information, mathematics and basic electricity during the process of solving problems presented in these education contents.
Cyclic codes over the ring of 4-adic integers of lengths 15, 17 and 19

We present a new way of obtaining the complete factorization of $X^{n}-1$ for $n=15,17,19$ over the $4$-adic ring ${\mathcal O}_4[X]$ of integers and thus over the Galois rings $GR(2^e,2)$. As a result, we determine all cyclic codes of lengths 15, 17 and 19 over those rings. This extends our previous work on such cyclic codes of odd lengths less than 15.

Qualitative data clustering: a new Integer Linear Programming model

Qualitative data clustering is a fundamental data analysis task, with applications in many areas, like medicine, sociology, and economics. An appealing way to deal with this task is via Integer Linear Programming, as it avoids inappropriate inferences by the final user. This approach has two main advantages: the data are directly used, without the need of being converted to quantitative values, and the optimal number of clusters is automatically obtained by solving the optimization problem. However, it might create large and redundant models, which can limit the size of the problems it can be applied. Recently, models that are more compact and able to avoid some redundancy have been proposed in the literature. These models consume less memory and are faster to obtain the optimal solution set. In this study, a new model is introduced and compared with the state-of-the-art alternatives using datasets from different application domains. Empirical results show that the new model outperforms its predecessors, achieving the optimal solution set with lower computational time and memory consumption.
SpotLight on Dynamics of Individual Learning.

Averaging performance over a group of individuals implicitly assumes that there is only one set of methods for accomplishing the task and that all learners acquire those methods in the same sequence. We maintain that the average subject is a mythical beast and, rather than profiling a mythical beast, we ask how do different people each learn the same complex task? To answer our question, we use SpotLight-a tool for analyzing changes in individual performance as skill is acquired. Specifically, in this report, we use the SpotLight on 40 scores and measures of performance (some collected at millisecond level, others collected once per game), to investigate the skill acquisition of nine individuals each of whom devoted 31 h to becoming skilled players of the classic cognitive psychology game of Space Fortress (Mane & Donchin, 1989). Turning the SpotLight on our best and worst players reveals patterns of performance plateaus, dips, and leaps. Examining these patterns reveals differences as well as commonalities in the evolution of methods discovered and used by each individual across 31 hours of skill acquisition.
Memory Efficient Semantic Segmentation for Embedded Systems

Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have made rapid progress in the last years and in fields, such as computer vision, they are considered state-of-the-art. However, CNNs are very computationally intensive. This makes them challenging to use in embedded devices such as smartphones, security cameras and cars.This thesis investigates different neural network compression techniques to see which will result in least memory consumption with the least accuracy drop. The techniques tested are pruning (selectively removing parts of the network), quantization (storing network parameters with lower accuracy) and tiling (splitting the dataflow inside the network).The compression techniques are tested on DeepLab v3+, a neural network for semantic segmentation. Compared to other papers in neural network compression, our baseline, DeepLab, has significantly less parameters than the baseline used in other papers. We then selected a compressed version of DeepLab and tested it on an Axis P3227-LV network camera with two different implementations. One with TensorFlow Lite and the second one with a custom implementation of DeepLab written from scratch utilizing a novel memory allocation algorithm.We find that memory usage is reduced one third by pruning, one half with quantization and almost two thirds with our custom implementation. In total, when combining all tested compression techniques with our custom implementation, we managed to reduce the memory consumption from 170 MB (TensorFlow Lite) down to 20 MB with only a minor reduction in accuracy.
Efficient Learning Rate Adaptation for Convolutional Neural Network Training

Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) have been established as substantial supervised methods for classification problems in many research fields. However, a large number of parameters have to be tuned to achieve high performance and good classification results. One of the most crucial parameter for the performance of a CNN is the learning rate (step) of the training algorithm. Although the heuristic search to tune the learning rate is a common practice, it is extremely time-consuming, considering the fact that CNNs require a significant amount of time for each training, due to their complex architectures and high number of weights. Approaches that integrate the adaptation of the initial learning rate in the optimization algorithm, manage to converge to high quality solutions and have been embraced by the research community. In this work, we propose an improvement of the recently proposed Adaptive Learning Rate algorithm (AdLR). The proposed learning rate adaptation algorithm (e-AdLR) exhibits excellent convergence properties and classification accuracy, while at the same time is fast and robust.
