ABC Versus PSO: A Comparative Study and Analysis on Optimization Aptitude

Many real-world optimization problems can be solved very efficiently by evolutionary algorithms. There exist many solutions in this field to solve multi-dimensional optimization problems, which is an important issue in today’s world. Swarm-based algorithms are very popular to solve these types of problems because of its effectiveness and quality of solutions. All swarm-based algorithms have different advantages and disadvantages. This paper has discussed two such mostly used algorithms, i.e., particle swarm optimization (PSO) and artificial bee colony (ABC). A fair comparison has been done between these two algorithms by implementing those to minimize five different standard benchmark functions. Results have been recorded and the performance of both the algorithms is analyzed with corresponding to the quality of solutions. It has been observed from the simulation results that ABC outperforms PSO in most of the cases corresponding to solution quality but it requires more time to converge than PSO.
Lattice-Based Proof of Shuffle and Applications to Electronic Voting.

A verifiable shuffle of known values is a method for proving that a collection of commitments opens to a given collection of known messages, without revealing a correspondence between commitments and messages. We propose the first practical verifiable shuffle of known values for lattice-based commitments.
Unsupervised Scale-consistent Depth Learning from Video

We propose a monocular depth estimator SC-Depth, which requires only unlabelled videos for training and enables the scale-consistent prediction at inference time. Our contributions include: (i) we propose a geometry consistency loss, which penalizes the inconsistency of predicted depths between adjacent views; (ii) we propose a self-discovered mask to automatically localize moving objects that violate the underlying static scene assumption and cause noisy signals during training; (iii) we demonstrate the efficacy of each component with a detailed ablation study and show high-quality depth estimation results in both KITTI and NYUv2 datasets. Moreover, thanks to the capability of scale-consistent prediction, we show that our monocular-trained deep networks are readily integrated into the ORB-SLAM2 system for more robust and accurate tracking. The proposed hybrid Pseudo-RGBD SLAM shows compelling results in KITTI, and it generalizes well to the KAIST dataset without additional training. Finally, we provide several demos for qualitative evaluation.
El ecosistema digital: un corpus de estudio del español

espanolEl espanol es la tercera lengua mas utilizada en internet. Por ello, es necesario acudir al ecosistema de internet para estudiar el espanol tanto en la descripcion de nuestro sistema linguistico, como en el estudio de la relacion entre lenguaje y realidad. Son las grandes empresas de venta on line, y no los departamentos de linguistica de las universidades, quienes lideran los desarrollos de programas linguisticos de procesamiento del lenguaje natural (conversion de voz a texto escrito, y de texto a voz; analizadores morfosintacticos; desambiguadores, etc.). Al mismo tiempo, los usuarios generan en las redes sociales tal cantidad de textos escritos y orales que, hoy en dia, el ecosistema digital constituye el mayor corpus de estudio de los distintos usos linguisticos, por mucho que algunas voces contrarias a ese enfoque invaliden dicho corpus, al no estar regido por la correccion normativa. Por ambas razones, se hace necesario atender al ecosistema digital para estudiar el uso real que de nuestra lengua hacemos los hablantes de espanol y analizar asi, con fiabilidad y a partir de datos objetivos, campos tan dispares y complementarios, como, por ejemplo, el sesgo ideologico subyacente en cualquier texto; la manipulacion, consciente o no, de la vision del mundo transmitida en un mensaje; la reivindicacion de usos locales frente al panhispanismo mas oficial; o la distinta vision de la norma culta que se esconde detras del concepto de correccion, etc. EnglishSpanish is the third most widely used language on the Internet. It is therefore necessary to turn to the Internet ecosystem in order to study Spanish, both in the description of our linguistic system and in the study of the relationship between language and reality. Rather than linguistics departments in universities, it is the large online sales companies who are leading the development of language programmes for natural language processing such as converting speech to written text, and conversely, transforming written text to speech, as well as morphosyntactic analysers, de-ambiguators, and more. At the same time, users generate such a large quantity of written and oral text on social networks that today the digital ecosystem comprises the largest study corpus of the diverse linguistic use, even though some voices opposed to this approach discredit this corpus as being unregulated by rules-based correction. For both of these reasons, one must to pay careful attention to the digital ecosystem in order to study the real use that speakers of Spanish make of our language, thereby allowing for a reliable analysis based on objective data to be carried out with regard to such disparate and complementary fields as described in the following examples: the ideological bias underlying any text; the manipulation, conscious or not, of the vision of the world transmitted in a message; the demand for local uses as opposed to the more official panhispanism; or a different vision of the cultured norms that hide behind the concept of correction, etc.
Role of ICT and New Media in Bringing About a Change in Teacher's Approach to Schooling

The present paper is a conceptual analysis of the discussions on the changing role of the teacher in the classroom with the use of new media and its impact on the concept of schooling in the present times. The research is based on the study of articles and research papers available on the subject and case study conducted on three different teachers over a period of 3 months. The students were also asked about their responses to the teaching style of the teacher and the role of technology in bringing about learning in the classroom. The research clearly reflected the enhanced emphasis on creating an environment of learning using technological aids in class and a cost factor associated with it. The role of the teacher as a knowledge carrier and dissipater has changed in the present times to one of knowledge facilitator. In this role, it has almost become imperative for all teachers to groom themselves to the handiest tools of new media and thereby create better access to information outburst through the guided and controlled use of the new media and ICT. The research allowed us to bring about the ease to information access and to connect with the parents on one hand but it made schooling as a concept a big challenge, especially from the teacher’s perspective.

Moderating from Nowhere

We are living in the midst of a battle over online hate speech regulation, and the stakes could not be higher. Hate speech not only harms its intended victims, be they individuals or groups, it also polarizes and divides society in ways that undermine the health of democratic regimes. While there is widespread agreement that the current situation of online discourse is untenable, scholars and policymakers are deeply divided on the best way to improve it.Until recently, American free speech norms have dominated the content moderation policies of digital media platforms. First Amendment norms are extremely resistant to censorship and therefore very protective of offensive and hateful speech. However, in recent years, this influence has been gradually eroded by what could be called European free speech norms, which are significantly more comfortable with directly regulating speech to try to prevent social and political harm. The epitome of the European approach is Germany's Network Enforcement Act (NetzDG), which requires platforms to enforce domestic hate speech laws within that country's borders. This general transformation, and NetzDG especially, have been met by nearly unanimous rebuke by digital free speech scholars, who argue that such measures might steer the platforms into creating a public sphere in which speech is stunted, and the values of free speech are not upheld.While acknowledging (to some extent, at least) the strength of these critiques, this Article argues that they may well be outweighed by how laws like NetzDG respond effectively to one of the major challenges of the new digital platform public sphere: its detachment from civil society and the public discourse of particular democratic societies. Digital platforms are moderating the digital public sphere from nowhere. This disconnection between the new information gatekeepers (the platforms) and the circumstances and needs of democratic states undermines the social conditions necessary for a healthy democracy. Specifically, the rise of a transnational digital sphere dominated by major digital platforms undermines traditional media gatekeepers' capacity to moderate the public debate. Without this guiding hand and without any legal regulation, the public debate quickly devolves, as is evident from the increasingly divisive impact online hate speech has on democratic societies. When tried-and-true social mechanisms—such as traditional media—are rendered ineffective, it makes sense to counteract the effects of hate speech and stabilize public debate by turning to legal speech regulation such as NetzDG. In at least this sense, we are likely to be better off with an internet influenced by European norms.
Real-time arbitrary video style transfer.

Video style transfer aims to synthesize a stylized video that has similar content structure with a content video and is rendered in the style of a style image. The existing video style transfer methods cannot simultaneously realize high efficiency, arbitrary style and temporal consistency. In this paper, we propose the first real-time arbitrary video style transfer method with only one model. Specifically, we utilize a three-network architecture consisting of a prediction network, a stylization network and a loss network. Prediction network is used for extracting style parameters from a given style image; Stylization network is for generating the corresponding stylized video; Loss network is for training prediction network and stylization network, whose loss function includes content loss, style loss and temporal consistency loss. We conduct three experiments and a user study to test the effectiveness of our method. The experimental results show that our method outperforms the state-of-the-arts.
Pengaruh Diagram Venn dan Relasi dalam Meningkatkan Pemahaman Sistem Basis Data

This research aims to improve the understanding of database system learning using Venn diagrams and relation diagrams. The first stage of the research was by conducting a pretest that contained the material, questions, and solutions using the Venn diagram and the relation diagram. The post-test stage was in the same way so that it can be seen an increase in student understanding of the database system by using Venn diagrams and relations as tools. The primary object of this research is to increase students' understanding of the database system using Venn diagram operations and relation diagrams to solve database system questions. The method used was pre-experimental research with the design of one group pretest and post-test design. The samples used were 45 students in semester 5 of the Informatics Engineering Department for the 2020/2021 academic year of Indraprasta University PGRI. The instruments collected were in the form of pretest and post-test results. The percentage result (P) was that the pretest to post-test scores has increased from 64.33% to 86.33% based on the Venn diagram. The statistical hypothesis test using the Wilcoxon test obtained a sig value of 0.000 &lt;0.05, which concluded that there was an increase between the pretest and post-test results based on the Venn diagram compared to the relation diagram. Therefore, the author describes that the average Unindra PGRI students in semester five can understand database questions by applying the Venn diagram material between relationships.
