On the Dynamic Effect of Bilateral Concessional Debts on Living Standards in Sub-Saharan Africa

This article assesses the effectiveness of bilateral concessional debts on living standards in 29 sub-Saharan African (SSA) countries over the period 1999-2017 using the system generalized method of moments (SGMM). The SGMM linear estimate is based on a two-step procedure, which controls for heteroscedasticity. The results provide evidence that bilateral concessional debts had positive and significant impact on living standards as proxied by the human development index (HDI) within the period. It is observed that 1% change in bilateral concessional debts is associated with about 8.4% improvement in living standards. Gross domestic savings are positively and significantly related to living standards and account for 3.1% increase in living standards. However, gross domestic investment and population growth exerted a negative influence on living standards during the period, whereas a 1% increase in gross domestic investment and population led to approximately 1.40% and 1.63% decline in living standards in the region, respectively. We therefore conclude that, although bilateral concessional debts have yielded the desired effect on living standards in the SSA, there is need for improvements in aid effectiveness. Thus, improved donor effort and collaboration with beneficiary governments in determining development needs and priorities in the region is critical.
Real-Time Variational Fisheye Stereo without Rectification and Undistortion

Dense 3D maps from wide-angle cameras is beneficial to robotics applications such as navigation and autonomous driving. In this work, we propose a real-time dense 3D mapping method for fisheye cameras without explicit rectification and undistortion. We extend the conventional variational stereo method by constraining the correspondence search along the epipolar curve using a trajectory field induced by camera motion. We also propose a fast way of generating the trajectory field without increasing the processing time compared to conventional rectified methods. With our implementation, we were able to achieve real-time processing using modern GPUs. Our results show the advantages of our non-rectified dense mapping approach compared to rectified variational methods and non-rectified discrete stereo matching methods.

From Gaussian Blobs to Natural Scenes: Comparable results for saccade-pursuit interactions across stimuli of different complexity

Saccadic and smooth pursuit eye movements are used to bring objects onto our foveae and to keep them there. Both have been intensively studied, but mainly in isolation and with highly controlled stimuli. Our goal was to compare eye movements to reduced stimuli and natural videos. We investigated how the relative angle between sequential saccade and pursuit eye movements affects saccadic position error and pursuit gain. We calculated both measurements in different experiments with varying levels of experimental control and stimulus complexity. We used a large set of natural videos, the GazeCom dataset, for which we additionally hand-labeled pursuit targets to extract their trajectories. In experiment 1, we presented these trajectories with an isolated Gaussian blob, lacking any context information. In experiment 2, moving objects followed the same trajectories in natural scenes extracted from the videos. In both experiments an initial fixation cross was presented at a fixed distance to the start of the movement. It was collinear with the direction of the movement or shifted by 30° up- or downwards. In experiment 3 participants just watched the whole set of natural videos without any constraints and we extracted saccade-pursuit combinations comparable to experiment 1 and 2. For all experiments we found a ~10 % reduction in saccadic position error and a ~10% increase in pursuit gain for collinear saccade-pursuit combinations. While the benefit for pursuit eye movements could possibly be explained by simple muscular constraints, like the inertia of the eye, the benefit for saccades indicates a direct influence of the upcoming pursuit on the saccadic eye movement. Despite some small absolute differences in the magnitude of some measurements like the saccade position error (~1 deg with isolated blobs vs. ~1.5 deg in natural videos), we observed comparable results for highly-controlled lab stimuli and free viewing of natural scenes.

Humans performing the actions in the video is automatically cognized and designating their actions is the prime purpose of astute video systems. Its motive is to acknowledge the actions and objectives of one or more multiple objects from a series of examination on the action of objects and their environmental condition. Human action recognition has gained popularity because of its wide applicability varying from Content-based Video Analytics, Visual Surveillance and Video Indexing etc. This paper depicts survey on person to person interaction, single person and multiple people action recognition and deciphers the methodologies and limitations of diverse methods for human action recognition are explored.
Survey on Intelligent Answering System using Similarity Model based Learning

Machine Learning (ML) is an artificial intelligence (AI) area that is a set of statistical techniques to solve problems. ML techniques can be applied to a wide range of unlimited problems-vision-based research, fraud detection, price prediction, and even natural language processing (NLP). A smart, user-friendly automatic response system is developed with the ability to detect and answer questions in English. There are many response systems that use the concept of natural language processing to answer the questions, but they are not so accurate in finding the right answer. Specific predefined queries with specific format are also required. Users need to ask the questions in the given format only for such systems. Users can enter the queries as they wish in the proposed system. No specific format is required. If the query fails to match any predefined query, the user will be suggested the best matched query. The domain expert keeps the answers to such questions in a database. The best matched response searched from the database is returned to the user during the retrieval of answers. A template matching technique isused to perform this match.Thus the system is more efficient and accurate from all the perspectives.

Diverse tunable dynamics of two quantum random walkers

Quantum walk research has mainly focused on evolutions due to repeated applications of time-independent unitary coin operators. However, the idea of controlling the single particle evolution using time-dependent unitary coins has still been a subject of multiple studies as it not only hosts interesting possibilities for quantum information processing but also opens a much richer array of phenomena including static and dynamic localizations. So far, such studies have been performed only for single quantum walkers. In case of multi-walker systems, time-dependent coins may generate measurable phenomena not described by the single-particle model, due to entanglement and interaction among the walkers. In this context, we present here a thorough numerical study of an one dimensional system of two quantum walkers exhibiting rich collective dynamics controlled by simple time-dependent unitary coins proposed in [Phys. Rev. A \textbf{80}, 042332(2009)] and [Phys. Rev. A \textbf{73},062304(2006)]. We study how the interplay of coin time-dependence, simple interaction schemes, entanglement and the relative phase between the coin states of the particles influences the evolution of the quantum walk. The results show that the system offers a rich variety of collective dynamical behavior while being controlled by time dependent coins. In particular, we find and characterize fascinating two-body localization phenomena with tunable quasiperiodic dynamics of correlations and entanglements which are quantities of quantum origin.
원어민 코퍼스와 고등학교 영어 교과서에 나타난 강조 부사 very의 패턴 비교

This study investigated the use of the amplifier very in high school English textbooks and native corpora by comparing its frequency distributions and collocation patterns. The native corpora, used as the reference of the study, were COCA and BNC, with their built-in sub-corpora further grouped into spoken and written corpora. The High School English Textbook Corpus (HSETC) was compiled from a total of 53 high school textbooks, with the spoken corpus (HSETC-S) from the texts in listening and conversation and the written corpus (HSETC-W) from the reading passages. Analyses using AntConc3.4.4 revealed no prominent differences between HSETC and reference corpora in the frequency of the amplifier very, while the written corpus (HSETC-W) had more occurrences contrary to the native corpora. The combination patterns and their occurrences of HSETC were slightly different from those of COCA and BNC with the gap increased with the spoken corpus (HSETC-S). Pedagogical implications and suggestions are made on ELT materials development and teaching practices.

Sentence similarity using weighted path and similarity matrices

Sentence similarity is the task of assessing how similar the two snippets of text are.Similarity techniques are used extensively in clustering, summarization, classification, plagiarism detection etc. Due to a small set of vocabularies, sentence similarity is considered to be a difficult problem in natural language processing.There are two issues in solving this problem: (1) Which similarity techniques to be used for word pair similarity and (2) How to generalize that to sentence pairs.We have used the weighted path, a WordNet-based similarity assessment, and the paraphrase database to obtain word pair similarity values.Thereafter, we extracted maximum values from the pairwise similarity matrix and computed a similarity value for a sentence pair.We have also incorporated a vector space model technique to form a robust similarity measure.Our method outperformed state-of-the-art methods on the STSS65 test dataset in Pearson's correlation of 87% compared to human similarity scores.Moreover, our approach performed on par with other methods on the STSS131 test data using the same test.Our approach outperforms all the other WordNet-based methods compared on both datasets.
Participatory Management of School Operational Assistance Funds Program in the State Junior High School, South Tinombo

This study aimed to investigate one of the policies of the Indonesian government in helping poor people to obtain an education through BOS (Indonesian: Bantuan Operasional Sekolah/the School Operational Assistance Funds Program). This program had raised students and student guardians suspicion due to the lack of transparent management. This study was conducted at two schools, the State High School SMPN 1 and SMPN Satap1, using a qualitative approach with descriptive techniques. The results indicated that community involvement in the management of BOS funds was quite effective. The management was in the form of direct involvement in school development meetings, preparation of RKAS (Rencana Kerja Anggaran Sekolah/School Activity and Budget Plans), and school committee meetings. Through the BOS meeting, the managers and those responsible for the BOS funds were appointed in a team which included the school principal, treasurer, teacher, and school committee. Disbursement of BOS funds was done every three months through the regional bank directly to schools for operational financing. The use of BOS funds always referred to the RKAS and required continuous supervision.
NON INVASIVE BLOOD GROUP DETECTION

Fast and accurate identification of blood types is very important during emergency situations before administering a blood transfusion. At present the blood culture is done using automated blood analyser. When blood is drawn for blood test it may cause bleeding under the skin, fainting, and infections at the particular region. The proposed idea is a non-invasive method for the identification of blood group of a patient without pricking the skin of the patient. This method is used to automatically determine human blood type by applying image processing algorithms to the optically captured images of superficial capillaries underlying the skin surface. The technique embeds Light scattering method, as light passes through the capillaries for dynamically classifying blood cells based on specific antigen shapes present on the Red Blood Cell (RBC) surface such as A antigen, B antigen and AB antigen. Optically sensitive web camera is used to capture the scattered light pattern, from the red blood cells to determine the blood type without drawing the blood samples from the body of patient. The process is simple and convenient to determine ABO blood group instantly, so it can be economically used for undertaking blood tests in hospitalized conditions, emergencies, war fields and it is more comfortable for infants.
Optimizing Through Learned Errors for Accurate Sports Field Registration

We propose an optimization-based framework to register sports field templates onto broadcast videos. For accurate registration we go beyond the prevalent feed-forward paradigm. Instead, we propose to train a deep network that regresses the registration error, and then register images by finding the registration parameters that minimize the regressed error. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our method by applying it to real-world sports broadcast videos, outperforming the state of the art. We further apply our method on a synthetic toy example and demonstrate that our method brings significant gains even when the problem is simplified and unlimited training data is available.
