On the Fairness of Machine-Assisted Human Decisions

When machine-learning algorithms are deployed in high-stakes decisions, we want to ensure that their deployment leads to fair and equitable outcomes. This concern has motivated a fast-growing literature that focuses on diagnosing and addressing disparities in machine predictions. However, many machine predictions are deployed to assist in decisions where a human decision-maker retains the ultimate decision authority. In this article, we therefore consider how properties of machine predictions affect the resulting human decisions. We show in a formal model that the inclusion of a biased human decision-maker can revert common relationships between the structure of the algorithm and the qualities of resulting decisions. Specifically, we document that excluding information about protected groups from the prediction may fail to reduce, and may even increase, ultimate disparities. While our concrete results rely on specific assumptions about the data, algorithm, and decision-maker, they show more broadly that any study of critical properties of complex decision systems, such as the fairness of machine-assisted human decisions, should go beyond focusing on the underlying algorithmic predictions in isolation.

UNDERGERADUATES’ AWARENESS OF AND READINESS TO ADOPT AUGMENTED REALITY APPLICATIONS FOR LEARNING IN UNIVERSITY OF ILORIN, ILORIN, NIGERIA

ABSTRACTAugmented Reality (AR) is one of the emerging technologies which allow the co-existing of physical and virtual objects and support real time interaction. Augmented reality consists of merging live images with virtual layers of information. These layers of information consist of three-dimensional (3-D) models that include content, images, sounds, and videos. In addition, AR has been defined as a real time direct or indirect view of a physical real world environment that has been enhanced by adding virtual computer generated information to it. This study assessed undergraduates’ awareness and readiness to adopt augmented reality applications for learning in University of Ilorin, Nigeria. The study adopted descriptive research design of the survey type. A researcher-designed instrument was used to elicit responses from one hundred and sixty (160) undergraduates. Answers were provided to two research questions and one research hypotheses were tested at 0.05 level of significance.The findings of this study revealed that many undergraduates claimed that they have heard of augmented reality and its applications for learning. Undergraduates are ready to adopt augmented reality applications for learning. No significant differences in the male and female readiness to adopt augmented reality applications for learning. The study concluded that undergraduates’ readiness to adopt augmented reality applications for learning is high and so is their awareness of augmented reality applications for learning. AR will change the traditional classroom setting of one on one teaching to virtual learning. Thus, the study recommended that students should be encouraged to utilize more augmented reality applications thereby giving them more awareness of its wide range of applications.
A New Image Super-Resolution Reconstruction Algorithm Based on Hybrid Diffusion Model

In the process of image denoising based on anisotropic diffusion model, the problem of edge information loss and “staircase effect” often appear. On the basis of anisotropic diffusion model, this paper combines the fractional diffusion model with the gradient based integer diffusion model, and introduces washout filter as the control term of the model, a new image super-resolution reconstruction algorithm based on hybrid diffusion model is proposed. In our proposed model, the fractional derivative will adjust its size adaptively according to the local variance of the image, and because the threshold k in the traditional diffusion function requires a lot of data experiments to get the best results, we also propose an adaptive threshold k function, whose value changes adaptively with the gradient of the image. Simulation results show that, compared with other algorithms, the new model still has a strong ability to retain image details and edge information after image reconstruction, and the introduced washout filter will also speed up the rapid convergence of the system to a stable state, and improve the convergence speed and stability of the system.
The Impacts of Mobile Phone App on SLA Learning

With the gradual integration of information technology and traditional education, the online learning mode has gradually been accustomed to and widely used in teaching.With the expansion of the scope of education, the traditional education model sometimes dissatisfies the constraints of learners (e.g., time and space), while the emergence of online teaching has just overcome this gap.The large-scale development and application of online teaching has revolutionized the education industry.Meanwhile, the organic combination of online teaching and traditional teaching is a new and flexible way of learning that has been universally welcomed, which is a product of the development of the times.The continuous integration of traditional teaching and online teaching to explore and invent new teaching models is a matter of concern and interest not only for learners but also for contemporary educators.In this paper, we will discuss online education and traditional education as well as mobile online learning arising from online education in order to propose a better education development model in the future.Specifically, we compare online education and traditional education in terms of second language acquisition in order to identify the corresponding advantages and disadvantages of each other.Subsequently, the improvements and integration are identified that can be made after the collision of the two in order to get a new opportunity for the development of traditional education in China.These results shed light for the future development of online English applications.

The Significance of Studying the Features of Italian Philosophical Postmodernism for General Characteristics of this Phenomenon

The article reveals the results of the author’s research on the characteristic culturological and philosophical features of postmodernism in Italy. Among the expressive features of Italian postmodernism, the author names a contradictory attitude to the past, a mixture of styles and genres, introducing the concept of “weakened thinking”. Based on these features, the following statements are made: (a) the modern study of the phenomenon of postmodernism should take into account its cultural and regional features; (b) taking into account such features allow us to enrich our understanding of postmodernism and add new features to its general characteristics. A detailed study of postmodernism in Italy and comparative analysis of studies of this phenomenon in other countries gave rise to the assertion that geographical factor has an important influence on the formation of certain features of the phenomenon. As every country at one period or other lives through its unique history, it impacts social consciousness formation, hence the cultural basis for the world’s perception. And the fact that postmodernism doesn’t exist anymore as an active phenomenon in the socio-cultural arena only helps its cold and detailed study. It’s only now that scientists can single out the details that were not paid attention to during the peak of postmodernism popularity. The study of postmodernism as a whole, indivisible phenomenon, manifested everywhere in the same way, has led to specific errors and omission of important details. In our case, the approach of separation from the general, the consideration of postmodernism through the prism of a particular country and its history and culture, allows us to look at this phenomenon from another angle and see new scientific and philosophical opportunities.
ATIVIDADES DISCENTES NA PANDEMIA: ESTUDO DE CASO EM UM PEQUENO GRUPO NA UNIVERSIDADE FEDERAL DE OURO PRETO

This article shows how educational activities in higher education underwent changes due to the pandemic caused by the coronavirus, in the year 2020.In the current scenario, academic activities are presently suspended throughout the country, reaching millions of students and with the rules of social distance , students and teachers had to reinvent themselves, overcoming daily challenges to fulfill their purposes, learning to use existing technologies and tools, but until then, little known by the academic community.At the Federal University of Ouro Preto (UFOP), classes were suspended on March 17 of the current year, and a special term (PLE), totally at a distance, started on August 24 of the same year.Throughout the article, an online survey prepared by the authors and applied to some UFOP students will be presented, addressing issues such as the difficulties faced, negative and positive aspects of the PLE, and whether they would participate in another distance learning course.It was observed that, despite the negative points, for most students the PLE was efficient and they would do other subjects at a distance again.Due to the uncertainty of what to expect in the face-to-face academic environment, distance education may become common in the coming months or years at universities and schools in our country, and the way classes and activities take place may never return as they were before.

Towards a Personalisation Framework for Cyber-Physical-Social System (CPSS)

A Cyber-Physical-Social System (CPSS) is an emerging paradigm often understood as a physical and virtual space of interaction which is cohabited by humans and sensor-enabled smart devices. In such settings, human interaction behaviour is often different from person to person and is guided by complex environmental and natural factors that are not yet fully explored. Thus, ensuring a seamless human-machine interaction in CPSS calls for efficient means of handling human dynamics and bringing interaction experience to a personal level. To this end in this paper, we propose a personalisation framework to support the design of CPSS in recognising and addressing human/social aspects.
Data Security Analysis in Mobile Cloud Computing for Cyber Security

This chapter focuses on the security challenges and risks people face with mobile cloud computing when people use our mobile devices. Over the past few years, computing technology is evolving at an extensively rapid rate, and the demand for storing data is reaching its peak. Mobile cloud computing is also one of the emerging storage technological transformations. Mobile devices, for instance, tablets and smartphones are now the new age necessity and are not restricted by location and time. Cloud storage also is the solution to storing data from mobile computing. Mobile cloud computing is a rich computation of resources bought down to mobile users via a blend of cloud computing, mobile computing, and wireless networks. Security issues concern both the end-users and cloud service providers because a third party may take part in misusing confidential data that can be malicious. Quantitative research is based on the measurement of quantity or amount.
Appearance-based gaze estimation with multi-modal convolutional neural networks

Existing methods on appearance-based gaze estimation mostly regress gaze direction from eye images, neglecting facial information and head pose which can be much helpful. In this paper, we propose a robust appearance-based gaze estimation method that regresses gaze directions jointly from human face and eye. The face and eye regions are located based on the detected landmark points, and representations of the two modalities are modeled with the convolutional neural networks (CNN), which are finally combined for gaze estimation by a fused network. Furthermore, considering the various impact of different facial regions on human gaze, the spatial weights for facial area are learned automatically with an attention mechanism and are applied to refine the facial representation. Experimental results validate the benefits of fusing multiple modalities in gaze estimation on the Eyediap benchmark dataset, and the propose method can yield better performance to previous advanced methods.
Team Cognition Approach in Agile Software Development

Crowdsourcing cognitive science (CCS) provides a cutting-edge development strategy for scientific advancement and innovation to leverage the positive features of the platform.Utilizing the positive qualities of the platform and mitigating risk is the prime decisive task.The crowdsourcing paradigm shortens software development time by increasing the parallelism of design, coding and testing through flexible implementation.Although software development tasks using traditional paradigms were more complex and interdependent, they can be made easy using the crowdsourcing.CCS offers a new way for scientific advancement in this field.The objective of this study is to build more adaptable quality software.As per WHO/World Bank, 15% people in the world have challenges due to disabilities.In the Mission 2030 for Sustainable Development, disability cannot be seen as a hurdle for the lack of digital access and for the achievement of their human rights.It is also important to reinforce the exogenous effect in order to sustain the internal development of human capital and technology for agile process convergence.Crowd-sourced design reduces development cost, time, and effort by involving intelligence, creativity, and critical thinking of people at different levels of society.In this study, internal consistency and reliability of team are also assessed with the help of Cronbach's alpha using IBM-SPSS.The given approach has been validated for its effectiveness and verified with the help of Smart India Hackathon (SIH-2019) datasets.

Klasifikasi Jenis Kendaraan Pada Jalan Raya Menggunakan Metode Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN)

Traffic congestion is a major problem that occurs in big cities in Indonesia. This can cause various negative impacts such as waste of fuel, waste of time, and air pollution. Therefore, the government divides the types of highways and only allows large cargo trucks to pass on arterial roads. So it is necessary to have a smart city to implement government policies in order to overcome the impacts caused by traffic congestion. Classification of the types of vehicles that pass on the highway needs to be done so that there are no vehicle violations outside the specifications that are allowed to enter certain highways. Classification of vehicle types using the Convolution Neural Network (CNN) method. The architecture used is in the form of an existing CNN architecture or an existing CNN architecture, namely googlenet and shufflenet. We fine tune Googlenet and Shufflenet to get maximum accuracy. The dataset used is data taken from several CCTV camera points in several cities in Indonesia in July 2021. The proposed method can classify vehicle types with an accuracy of 95.88% Googlenet and 96.48% Shufflenet. Thus, it is hoped that it can contribute to researchers to develop a better CNN so that it can be implemented for the benefit of road traffic in Indonesia in the future
