Hand Kinesics in Indian Sign Language using NLP Techniques with SVM Based Polarity

With the advent of new technology every year, human beings continue to make clever innovations to benefit not only themselves but also those with some kind of impairment. Communication is carried out by talking to each other for regular people, but people who are deaf interact with each other through sign language. Taking this problem into account, we are proposing a methodology that allows to ease the communication with each other by translating speech into sign language. This paper explains a methodology that translates speech into the corresponding Indian Sign Language (ISL). In India, it is spoken in almost 28 different languages. So, language has always been a problem. Thus, we have come with a project just for India in which the person can communicate with the app in any Indian language they know, and it will convert it into Indian Sign Language. This is applicable to not just literate but also illiterate people across India. The idea is to take the speech input and translate to text, which will then undergo text-pre-processing using NLP for better analysis and will be connected to the HamNoSys data for the generation of sign languages. The polarity detection will also be included. It is implemented using the SVM algorithm for Sentimental Analysis. Thus, the main objective of this project is to develop a useful project which can be used to capture the whole vocabulary of Indian Sign Language (ISL) and provide access to information and services to mute people in ISL.
An Analysis of Application of Project-Based Learning to Improve Writing Skills of Mechanical Engineering Students

Based on previous research, students’ writing skills are considered too low especially in conveying ideas, choosing vocabularies, and arranging the vocabularies to build sentences. And then arrange the sentences as a complete paragraph. This research is motivated by the students’ low writing skills which significantly impacting the students’ skills to write research abstract, job applications, class presentations, and presentations for thesis defense in front of the board examiners. It is a descriptive-qualitative research that conducted with the research subject of 2nd semester students of Department Mechanical Engineering State Polytechnic of Malang. The method used for the research is writing some paragraphs using different tenses and then analyzing the basic writing mistakes of the written paragraphs. After that, students’ writen a set of instruction consisted of six or more sentences that indicate a process. The results are satisfying because the students' writing skills are increased compared to before conducting this research using project-based learning, even though there are still mistakes both in terms of language and from a grammatical point of view.&#x0D; Keyword :Project Based Learning, Writing Skill, Improving Writing
Reconstructing the Medical Image by Autoencoder with Stochastic Processing in Neural Network

The working on image to perform different operation is known as image processing. Digital Image is a collection of a defined number of pixels. Each feature has a particular pixel value at a specific position. Image restoration can be considered as an image enrichment where the final image is printed with more important features that create more appealing for the spectator but it is not essential to create genuine data from the point of a scientific vision. Autoencoder is one of the techniques in artificial neural network to analyze and predict a huge volume of data with different many features. This technique has three stages namely the first one is encoding, second one is compression and third one is decoding. Denoising autoencoder is an enhanced technique for image processing to reconstruct the damaged image to original image. Denoising autoencoder techniques are applying on the medical image to get the high quality image in digital image processing. In this paper, stochastic gradient descent algorithm is applied to predict the damaged pixel and replaced by new pixel values. The result is better than previous result in medical images.
Online Platform Application Design for Local Product

Web technology development is growing rapidly because all technology's core is to make it easier for other people to create a web or find any information via the web. This study aims to design an online application/website specifically for local products that focus on fashion, especially those that have not been touched by online media at all, such as in Pasar Baru and Pasar Andir, located in the city of Bandung. This research used descriptive with a qualitative approach. This study indicates that a website can be used as a promotional medium for local clothing stores to expand marketing reach. Besides that, it can also improve the image of the local clothing company. More than that, of course, visitors can find out the latest types of branded clothing products and make sales transactions with consumers without visiting the store in person. With this website, of course, it will make it easier for customers to make purchase transactions at local brand clothing stores that are not widely known.
Acousmatic Sound in Multimedia Installations

The article is devoted to the study of acousmatic sound in installations – an actively expanding artistic phenomenon of contemporary culture formed within the framework of conceptualism in the 1960s. Its purpose is to show by means of specific examples the diversity of construction of acousmatic objects and their functions within the framework of a multimedia type of installations, to show work with various kinds of sound material – verbal, noise-generated and musical, to reveal the dynamics in the construction of such installation objects and the specificity of their impact on the listener and viewer. Installation is an art pertaining to the environment based on the idea of the relationship between the artistic object and the context. This phenomenon, which is synthetic in its nature, has been formed at the crossroads of various types of arts and artistic practices. Sound realities have also provided significant material for the creation of installationbased works of art. The path of incorporating music into installations stemmed from simple ornamentations of the installation space, capable of enhancing the aspect of suggestion, for the sake of comprehending the object-related essence of the sound realities. This process has been greatly stimulated by the development of computer technologies. With the emergence of the phenomenon of multimedia installations, sound has acquired an illusory object outline, adapting itself into the installations’ art space, along with physical realities and visual color and light objects. In these new conditions the principle of acousmatic sound has clearly demonstrated itself, having enhanced the performative essence of the phenomenon by means of actively involving the viewer into the process of mastering the media art space. Virtually any sound production, including the human voice, can become the physical foundation for artistic installations. Acousmatic voices are a type of material widely used in the installations of Heiner Goebbels, in which acousmatic speech is shown as a kind of verbal-sound magic, the suggestion of which makes the viewer produce his own semantic meaning on the basis of what he has heard, which demonstrates the essence of the installation as a space of interpretation. Musical installations may be categorized into the interactive types and those in which the audience remains the passive recipient, while being exposed to powerful audio or audio-visual impact. The examples of this kind can be found in the works by Volkmar Klien, Marian Mentrup, Daniel Tage and Robert Henke, among others. The multifunctionality of acousmatic sound objects in the space of multimedia installations has been revealed by the analysis of the aforementioned examples. Keywords: multimedia installations, computer music, acousmatic sound, suggestive possibilities of music, spatial art.
Learning from Subjective Ratings Using Auto-Decoded Deep Latent Embeddings

Depending on the application, radiological diagnoses can be associated with high inter- and intra-rater variabilities. Most computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) solutions treat such data as incontrovertible, exposing learning algorithms to considerable and possibly contradictory label noise and biases. Thus, managing subjectivity in labels is a fundamental problem in medical imaging analysis. To address this challenge, we introduce auto-decoded deep latent embeddings (ADDLE), which explicitly models the tendencies of each rater using an auto-decoder framework. After a simple linear transformation, the latent variables can be injected into any backbone at any and multiple points, allowing the model to account for rater-specific effects on the diagnosis. Importantly, ADDLE does not expect multiple raters per image in training, meaning it can readily learn from data mined from hospital archives. Moreover, the complexity of training ADDLE does not increase as more raters are added. During inference each rater can be simulated and a "mean" or "greedy" virtual rating can be produced. We test ADDLE on the problem of liver steatosis diagnosis from 2D ultrasound (US) by collecting \(36\,602\) studies along with clinical US diagnoses originating from 65 different raters. We evaluated diagnostic performance using a separate dataset with gold-standard biopsy diagnoses. ADDLE can improve the partial areas under the curve (AUCs) for diagnosing severe steatosis by \(10.5\%\) over standard classifiers while outperforming other annotator-noise approaches, including those requiring 65 times the parameters.
DEVELOPMENT OF VOCAL-PERFOMANCE SKILLS OF FUTURE TEACHERS-MUSICIANS IN THE STUDY OF EDUCATIONAL DISCIPLINE «METHODOLOGY OF WORK WITH FOLKLORE ENSEMBLES»

The professional development of a future teacher-musician involves not only the acquisition of knowledge, skills and abilities, but also personal self-improvement. The formation of a new type of teacher is possible only if the higher education approaches to real professional and pedagogical activities. Tasks of training of pedagogical staffs that meet modern requirements actualize the problem of development of vocal and performing skills of the future teachers-musicians during their studies at a higher education institution. To implement this task various forms of collective musical performance, aimed at integrating different areas of artistic life, are created. Among them vocal ensemble is one of the leading varieties of musical creativity. Educational discipline "Methodology of work with folklore ensembles" laid out for the master's students-degrees of musical separation of artistic faculty. Students can learn to manage their own voice, to develop creativity and have prospects for self-expression. Participation in the folk vocal ensemble helps not only to understand the musical material, but also learn to control voice, gestures, facial expressions, plastic body. In the process of activity of folk vocal ensemble developed the logical and creative thinking, musical talent, created some artistic images. Musical and theatrical activity contributes to the disclosure of the individual student identify his individual qualities, raising efficiency and discipline. Work on the culture of sound, breath, a sense of musical phrases possession of the breast and the main cavity, smoothing transitions register, development of natural sounding voice in contrast to imitate him – the basis of vocal and choral singers. This activates the creative process contributes to the education of various technical and performing skills, developing artistry, ability to transform in the performance of music of different genres, styles and character.
Energy redistribution in autonomous hybridization of agent-based computing

Evolutionary multi-agent systems (EMAS) are very good at dealing with difficult, multi-dimensional problems. Currently, research is underway to improve this algorithm, giving even more freedom to agents not only in solving the problem but also in making decisions on the behavior of the algorithm. One way is to hybridize this algorithm with other existing algorithms creating Hybrid Evolutionary Multi Agent-System (HEMAS). Unfortunately, such connections generate problems in the form of an unbalanced energy level of agents who have made the decision to use such an improvement. One of the solutions is the mechanism of redistributing the agents' energy in the form of an operator. The article presents several proposals of redistribution operators along with numerous experimental results.

On the Existence of XOR-Based Codes for Private Information Retrieval with Private Side Information

We consider the problem of Private Information Retrieval with Private Side Information (PIR-PSI), wherein the privacy of the demand and the side information are jointly preserved. Although the capacity of the PIR-PSI setting is known, we observe that the underlying capacity-achieving code construction uses Maximum Distance Separable (MDS) codes therefore contributing to high computational complexity when retrieving the demand. Pointing at this drawback of MDS-based PIR-PSI codes, we propose XOR-based PIR-PSI codes for a simple yet non-trivial setting of two non-colluding databases and two side information files at the user. Although our codes offer substantial reduction in complexity when compared to MDS-based codes, the code-rate marginally falls short of the capacity of the PIR-PSI setting. Nevertheless, we show that our code-rate is strictly higher than that of XOR-based codes for PIR with no side information. As a result, our codes can be useful when privately downloading a file especially after having downloaded a few other messages privately from the same database at an earlier time-instant.
Towards the closure of Collar’s triangle by optical diagnostics

An experimental methodology is proposed for the study of aeroelastic systems. The approach locally evaluates the forces involved in Collar’s triangle, namely aerodynamic, elastic, and inertial forces. The position of flow tracers as well as of markers on the object surface is monitored by a volumetric PIV system. From the recorded images, the flow tracers and surfare markers are separated based on their optical characteristics. The resulting images are then analysed by Lagrangian particle tracking. The inertial and elastic forces are obtained solely analysing the motion and the deformation of the solid object, whereas the aerodynamic force distribution is obtained via the pressure-from-PIV technique. Experiments are conducted on a benchmark problem of fluid-structure interaction, featuring a flexible panel installed at the trailing edge of a cylinder. A polynomial fit of the markers’ positions is carried out to determine the panel’s instantaneous shape, from which the inertial and elastic forces are evaluated. The pressure loads on the panel are determined via solution of the Poisson equation for pressure, imposing adaptive boundary conditions that comply with the panel. The simultaneous measurement of the three forces allows to assess the equilibrium of forces, and in turn to close Collar’s triangle.
The comparison of dual axis photovoltaic tracking system using artificial intelligence techniques

&lt;span&gt;In this paper, the efficiency of photovoltaic panels is improved by adding a sun tracking system. The solar tracking system is used for tracking the sun so that photovoltaic always faces the sun. This system uses a dual axis consisting of horizontal rotation axis and a vertical rotation axis. The horizontal rotational axis motion is to follow the azimuth angle of the sun from north to south. Then, to follow the sun's azimuth angle from east to west is the vertical axis motion. Both types of movements are controlled using a PID controller that is optimized with an artificial intelligence approach, namely particle swarm optimization (PID-PSO), firefly algorithm (PID-FA), imperialist competitive algorithm (PID-ICA), bat algorithm (PID-BA), and ant colony optimization (PID-ACO). Experiments of various approaches were carried out and the corresponding performance compared. The experimental results show that PID-BA performs best in terms of settling time and overshoot. The results also allow the comparison of different PID controller and the calculation of the fastest completion time.&lt;/span&gt;
