AN ANALYSIS OF CONCEPTS AND TECHNIQUES CONCERNING THE USE OF HIDDEN MARKOV MODELS FOR SEQUENTIAL DATA

This A lot of machine learning concerns with creating statistical parameterized models of systems based on the data points that have been extracted from some underlying distribution depending upon the inductive bias.In probabilistic models, we model the joint probability of the input and the output or even the conditional probability of the output given the input (and vice versa using Bayes theorem).To elaborate, generative models determine the probability of the input given a particular output class if it is a classification task and discriminative models find the probability of the output class given the input.For a large class of models such as the standard ANNs, we assume the individual data points to be independent and identically distributed.However, when it comes to data such as rainfall measurements across successive days, there is an inherent sequential structure to the data which the previous assumption fails to take into consideration.Hidden Markov Models are used to model sequential data such as a time series where in for each sequence observed, the successive data points in that sequence are temporally related and are not independent, they are a part of a series of measurements and are evolving with respect to time-here, an independent variable.HMMs(Hidden Markov Models) are able to exploit this structure in the data and are used for a variety of tasks which are inherently sequential such as speech recognition, language modelling, time series etc.In this paper, we will understand and review the mathematics behind building and training an HMM, we will understand Latent Variables, Markov Chains, the forward backward algorithm and the Viterbi algorithm for HMMs.We will understand Lagrange Multipliers, the expectation maximization algorithm and see how it is applied for optimization in an HMM.We will also review some of the applications of an HMM.[3]

Pragmatic Practice on Students’ Interview: Exploring Students’ Speech Act and Maxim in English Specific Purposes Program

Abstract: This study aims to explore the speech act functions and types of maxim emerging in the speech performed by university students during interview; and to examine the accurateness of the students’ responses toward the interview question on English for Specific Purposes (ESP) program. This is qualitative study. The data was collected through documentation from the result of interview to the students of ESP Program. The result shows that the participants demonstrate all components of speech act function in answering the question. This implies that the students are able to answer the question properly although they could not always deliver accurate information because some of their utterances breached the maxim, such as violating the maxim and floating the maxim. It is suggested to do further research on Pragmatic studies related to students’ utterances and factors that make the students break the maxim in the process of teaching and learning; as well as to know the students’ need. Abstrak: Penelitian ini betujuan untuk mengetahui fungsi tindak tutur dan type maxim yang muncul dalam pernyataan mahasiswa selama wawancara dan untuk menilai keakuaratan jawaban mahasiswa selama wawancara tentang program ESP. Penilitian ini adalah penilitian qualitative yang datanya diambil dari document hasil wawancara terhadap mahasiswa program ESP. Hasil dari penilitian ini menunjukan bahwa partisipan menggunakan seluruh aspek fungsi tindak tutur dalam menjawab pertanyaan. Hal ini menujukkan bahwa mahasiswa mampu menjawab pertanyaan sesui dengan pertanyaan yang diberikan walaupun informasi yang diberikan tidak semuanya akurat, karena beberapa dari jawaban mereka melanggar maksim, seperti violating the maxim dan floating the maxim. Akhirnya penulis menyarankan untuk dilakukan penelitian lebih lanjut tentang pragmatic terutama pada ungkapan-ungkapan mahasiswa dan faktor-faktor yang mengakibatkan mahasiswa melanggar maxim untuk mengetahui kebutuhan mahasiswa dalam proses balejar dan mengajar.
EVALUASI PENGGUNAAN BANTUAN OPERASIONAL SEKOLAH (BOS) DI MADRASAH IBTIDAIYAH SWASTA LEBONG TAMBANG

This study aimed to find an overview as regards the evaluation concerning the use of school operational assistance funds (BOS) at MIS 01 Lebong Tambang by using a qualitative approach. The data were obtained using observation and interview techniques. After collected, the data were analyzed using the Miles, Huberman and Saldana’s approach extending to data selection, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. This study concluded that the evaluation of distribution and use of school operational assistance funds (BOS) conducted by the school became a very helpful medium for the school per se. Such evaluation was oriented towards increasing the resources of teaching staffs. Based on evaluation, it was found a mismatch between the budget ceiling of BOS and the teachers’ needs. School facilities and infrastructure such as the construction of new classrooms, let alone Worship facilities such as Musalla, could not use school operational assistance funds (BOS), so it was very difficult for the school because for RKB the budget had to be separated from the school operational assistance funds (BOS).

Stopover? Non-fiction movies in the first decade after the millennium

The article presents new conditions for the production of national documentary movies at the beginning of 21st century, as well as the creative atmosphere and style searches of filmmakers in the field of studying the inner world of our contemporary. The traditional film portrait of a documentary hero used to present them as part of a holistic public space and therefore the relationship between an individual and the society was the key issue in the documentary of previous decades. New times have primarily focused on the private space of a particular person, distanced from the help of or confrontation with the society. The conflict between good and evil unfolds on the material of the individual’s independent choice. The form of relations between the filmmaker and the hero changes, instead of the traditional observation, a dialogue of peers appears, giving rise to new forms of stylistic and genre solutions. The article offers a wide panorama of thematic searches for a documentary portrait, as well as a study of style innovations: manifestation, construction, composition, docudrama. Among the movies revealing the new artistic moves of documentary filmmakers of the first decade of the 21st century: “Mother” by P.Kostomarov and A.Katten, “Last Bow. Victor Astafiev” by M. Litvyakov, “Sister” and “Lisa” by P.Fattakhutdinov, “G.Zhzhenov. Russian Cross” by S.Miroshnichenko, “War and Peace of Colonel Kersky” by M.Rezvushkina and others.
The Reconsideration of V+Vd+NP+lai

Based on the theory of grammaticalization, this paper will discuss whether ‘V+Vd+NP+lai’ has the identity as ‘V+Vd+lai’. ‘V+Vd+NP+lai’ is a structure created through different grammaticalization processes from ‘V+Vd+lai’ as follows: V+Vd+NP+lai : V+NP+lai &gt; Vd+NP+lai &gt; V+Vd+NP+lai V+Vd+lai : Vd+lai &gt; V+Vd+lai According to the above diagram, the syntactic structure of ‘V+Vd+NP+lai’ is a combination of ‘lai’, which represents completion (realization), behind the V-D Structure in which a simple directional complement is combined. On the other hand ‘V+Vd+lai’ corresponds to V-D Structure having a compound directional complement. Therefore there is no identity between these two structures. This non-identity not only makes a difference in meaning between the two structures, but also creates different constraints in terms of syntactic. In particular, the difference in object components clearly reflects the absence of identity of the two structures. Specifically, in ‘V+Vd+NP+lai’, only ‘V+Vd’ is the predicate part, so the object ‘NP’ is mainly in charge of noun components. On the other hand, ‘V+Vd+lai’ is a kind of V-D Structure in which the entire sentence serves as a predicate, and if necessary, it can have an object after it. At this time, not only nouns (non-locative components) but also verbs and even clauses can appear as the object.

The Reshaping of My Compositional Approaches by the Application of Improvised Components

Author(s): Wang, Qingqing | Advisor(s): Liang, Lei | Abstract: My interest in composition in the past two years focuses on exploring the possibility, flexibility, potential, and expressiveness of conduction and improvisation. The relationship between improvisation and composition makes me reconsider my compositional approach and my artist’s status.Conduction, a unique system using the symbolic vocabulary of ideographic signs and gestures to create real-time composition, was created by Lawrence D. “Butch” Morris (1947- 2013). I review conduction as a real-time composition in terms of timbre, orchestration, and structure. My orchestral piece Between Clouds and Streams (2018) explores the relationships, including musical materials, dynamics, times, and interpretations between the inspiration from specific gestures in conduction, yunshui (clouds and streams) in Chinese landscape painting, and composition. It illustrates how I consider my own musical identity through culture and conduction, a new way of making music.The second part of the dissertation emphasizes the application of improvised components, and my status transformation from composer to performer to collaborator by improvisation, through the comparison of my three pieces for electronics and solo instrument. It consists of the comparison of notation and collaboration in the three pieces including Blossom Singing for trumpet solo and fixed media (2019), To Wuhan: Weeping Eyes and Strong Tears for prepared piano solo and 8-channel live electronics (2020), and Sparks for percussion solo and 8-channel live electronics (2020).

MULTIMODAL CONTENT-BASED RECOMMENDER SYSTEM USING THREE-DIMENSION CONVOLUTION NEURAL NETWORK

Research on Recommender Systems has grown tremendously over the past few years; however, the quest to date for how user emotions can be used as implicit feedback to supplement these systems is sparse. Recommender Systems should take advantage of the high availability of digital data to collect input data of various types that allow the system to enhance its accuracy implicitly or explicitly. In this study, a Multimodal Content-Based Recommender System for image recommendation is built based on Implicit and Explicit Feedbacks. In order to obtain the Implicit Feedbacks, a Convolution Neural Network with Three-Dimensions constructed to predict the emotion of the user's face if it is positive or negative. The Convolution Neural Network making a mixture of spatial and temporal data in Three-Dimension Convolution in order to learn about a transition in consecutive frames. The results of predictions of Neural Network are used as Implicit Feedback for the recommendation algorithm. The Multimodal Recommender System is built by combining the output of two Content-based Recommender Systems using a binary Logistic Regression algorithm. Content-based Recommender System is built by training the Support Vector Machine classifier on features of item profile and Explicit or Implicit feedback The performance measures are computed based on predicted and ground truth feedbacks. The results show that using a Three-Dimension Convolution Neural Network contributes to Implicit Feedbacks prediction in the Recommender System. Also, the combination of the results of two Recommender Systems with different feedback techniques can enhance the performance of the proposed system.

Affect dynamics in data science practice

While data science is often imagined as a dispassionateand objective process of extracting information from data,ethnographic work has identified that affect and emotionplay an important role in shaping data science practice. Inthis paper, we consider how HCI/psychology approachesmight contribute to the further development of these exploratory findings, and inform the development of methodsto enhance data scientists’ awareness of when affect dynamics may be influencing their practice.
Model Transformation as Conservative Theory-Transformation.

Model transformations play a central role in model-driven software development.Hence, logical unsafe model transformation can result in erroneous systems.Still, most model transformations are written in languages that do not provide built-in safeness guarantees.We present a new technique to construct tool support for domain-specific languages (DSLs) inside the interactive theorem prover environment Isabelle.Our approach is based on modeling the DSL formally in higher-order logic (HOL), modeling the API of Isabelle inside it, and defining the transformation between these two.Reflection via the powerful code generators yields code that can be integrated as extension into Isabelle and its user interface.Moreover, we use code generation to produce tactic code which is bound to appropriate command-level syntax.Our approach ensures the logical safeness (conservativity) of the theorem prover extension and, thus, provides a certified tool for the DSL in all aspects: the deductive capacities of theorem prover, code generation, and IDE support.We demonstrate our approach by extending Isabelle/HOL with support for UML/OCL and, more generally, providing support for a formal object-oriented modeling method.
Textual Similarity Measurement Approaches: A Survey

Survey research is appropriate and necessary to address certain research question types. This paper aims to provide a general overview of the textual similarity in the literature. Measuring textual similarity tends to have an increasingly important turn in related topics like text classification, recovery of specific information from data, clustering, topic retrieval, subject tracking, question answering, essay grading, summarization, and the nowadays trending Conversational Agents (CA), which is a program deals with humans through natural language conversation. Finding the similarity between terms is the essential portion of textual similarity, then used as a major phase for sentence-level, paragraph-level, and script-level similarities. In particular, we concern with textual similarity in Arabic. In the Arabic Language, applying Natural language Processing (NLP) tasks are very challenging indeed as it has many characteristics, which are considered as confrontations. However, many approaches for measuring textual similarity have been presented for Arabic text reviewed and compared in this paper.
Collective trust estimation in multi-agent systems

In previous work, a multi-layered neural network trust model, dubbed NeuroTrust, was introduced. This trust model was also implemented in an autonomous vehicles convoy simulation, in which speed and gap distance depended on trust. It has been shown that, in time, through on-line reinforcement learning, this trust model produces better results for significant performance metrics in the respective autonomous vehicle convoy when compared to a baseline trust algorithm. In this paper, the NeuroTrust model is expanded to leverage the experience of multiple decision-making agents. A trust aggregation method is proposed for NeuroTrust and is simulated for multiple autonomous vehicle convoy scenarios. It is shown that the NeuroTrust model tends to optimize faster by leveraging each agent’s experience.
