Network Pruning via Annealing and Direct Sparsity Control

Artificial neural networks (ANNs) especially deep convolutional networks are very popular these days and have been proved to successfully offer quite reliable solutions to many vision problems. However, the use of deep neural networks is widely impeded by their intensive computational and memory cost. In this paper, we propose a novel efficient network pruning method that is suitable for both non-structured and structured channel-level pruning. Our proposed method tightens a sparsity constraint by gradually removing network parameters or filter channels based on a criterion and a schedule. The attractive fact that the network size keeps dropping throughout the iterations makes it suitable for the pruning of any untrained or pre-trained network. Because our method uses a $L_0$ constraint instead of the $L_1$ penalty, it does not introduce any bias in the training parameters or filter channels. Furthermore, the $L_0$ constraint makes it easy to directly specify the desired sparsity level during the network pruning process. Finally, experimental validation on extensive synthetic and real vision datasets show that the proposed method obtains better or competitive performance compared to other states of art network pruning methods.
Learning the Women's Independence Movement Using Memoirs from a pluralistic view

In this study, we analyzed the activities of women independence activists and the meaning of their lives in the memoirs of women who participated in the independence movement. In the memoir, the life of a women independence activist can be divided into three types. First, they personally participated in the independent struggle. They participated in the patriotic struggle and raised funds or gathered soldiers for the independence war. Through propaganda Activities, they promoted anti-Japanese sentiment and encouraged participation in the independence movement as well. Second, the social base of the independence movement was established. They strived to take care of families of those who participated in the independence movement and to maintain the Korean community in economic and educational aspects. It was the role of women''s independence activists to cultivate national consciousness and to maintain the sustainability of the independence movement by organizing education and social events of Korean community. Also it was their responsibility to support the key figures in the Provisional Government of the Republic of Korea and to take care of the independence activists and their families. Third, they show the social role and gender recognition of male and female. It was the role of women to keep the household economy or to support the family. This shows that male-dominated patriarchal attitudes persisted in families and societies in which they lived during the independence movement. After identifying various aspects of the women''s independence movement in the memoir, this study developed the teaching program for students to understand the women''s independence movement. The results of applying history class plan are as follows. First, students were able to find various aspects of the women''s independence movement through memoirs. Second, through the activities of imagining the reason for selecting the behaviors and thoughts of historical figures in the memoirs, pluralistic views could be developed. Third, in the process of constituting the meaning of independence movement, its value could be internalized.
Code2Que: A Tool for Improving Question Titles from Mined Code Snippets in Stack Overflow

Stack Overflow is one of the most popular technical Q&A sites used by software developers. Seeking help from Stack Overflow has become an essential part of software developers' daily work for solving programming-related questions. Although the Stack Overflow community has provided quality assurance guidelines to help users write better questions, we observed that a significant number of questions submitted to Stack Overflow are of low quality. In this paper, we introduce a new web-based tool, Code2Que, which can help developers in writing higher quality questions for a given code snippet. Code2Que consists of two main stages: offline learning and online recommendation. In the offline learning phase, we first collect a set of good quality <code snippet, question> pairs as training samples. We then train our model on these training samples via a deep sequence-to-sequence approach, enhanced with an attention mechanism, a copy mechanism and a coverage mechanism. In the online recommendation phase, for a given code snippet, we use the offline trained model to generate question titles to assist less experienced developers in writing questions more effectively. At the same time, we embed the given code snippet into a vector and retrieve the related questions with similar problematic code snippets.
THE CRITICS AND POLITICAL EDUCATION OF THE FICTIONAL PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES, NURHADI & ALDO (IN THE PERSPECTIVE OF CRITICAL DISCOURSE AND SEMANTICS)

The emergence of a fictitious presidential candidate, Nurhadi and Aldo, in the internet, potentially becomes the breaker of society’s polarization, as well as a media to criticize the government and some political elites. This research is talking about 1) the aims behind the emergence of Nurhadi & Aldo as alternative candidates in the presidential election, and 2) the strategies of Nurhadi & Aldo to get those aims through the perspective of semantics and critical hypothesis analysis. The data of this qualitative study are collected from the instagram account of @nurhadi_aldo and some of its derivative accounts. The result of the study shows that the purposes or aims behind the emergence of Nurhadi & Aldo as fictitious presidential candidates are 1) the medium of critics towards the government and some political elites, 2) the mode of political education through politics of leisure, and 3) the suggestion for the society to put national unity first, in the middle of societal polarizations. To get those aims, the accounts are using strategies such as 1) the usage of figures of speech, such as comparison, satire, contradiction, and affirmation, 2) the usage of polysemy , 3) the usage of sylogism, and 4) the usage of abbreviations.
Bit-level Parallelization of 3DES Encryption on GPU

Triple DES (3DES) is a standard fundamental encryption algorithm, used in several electronic payment applications and web browsers. In this paper, we propose a parallel implementation of 3DES on GPU. Since 3DES encrypts data with 64-bit blocks, our approach considers each 64-bit block a kernel block and assign a separate thread to process each bit. Algorithm's permutation operations, XOR operations, and S-box operations are done in parallel within these kernel blocks. The implementation benefits from the use of constant and shared memory types to optimize memory access. The results show an average 10.70x speed-up against the baseline multi-threaded CPU implementation. The implementation is publicly available at https://github.com/kaanfurkan35/3DES_GPU

Collision avoidance based on prediction of collision with moving obstacles

When a mobile robot moves in an environment where there are moving obstacles such as pedestrians and other robots, the robot is required to avoid collisions with these obstacles. However, trying to avoid all the predicted positions on the trajectory of the moving obstacle would overly restrict the robot’s movement. In order to solve this problem, we should be able to generate trajectories in which the robot and moving obstacles do not approach at the same time in the future. However, an approach such as optimizing the robot’s trajectory for the predicted trajectory of a moving obstacle would result in a very large number of states to be considered. This paper proposes a method to generate a set of candidate trajectories based on the robot’s motion model and determine the trajectories considering the collision probability with the predicted trajectories of moving obstacles at each time. In the proposed method, the action of the robot is determined by the following process. First, candidate trajectories of the robot based on its motion model are generated. Next, at each time step of each candidate trajectory, the collision probability with each obstacle is calculated. The same calculation is made for all obstacles and the collision probability with one or more obstacles is calculated. If the maximum probability of a candidate trajectory is greater than the threshold, the trajectory is considered dangerous and is removed from the candidate list. Depending on the distance from the target, the robot selects a trajectory from among the remaining candidate trajectories and determines the next action. In a simulation environment with 30 moving obstacles, the performance is compared with other methods and shown to be comparable or better. In addition, experiments using a real robot were conducted to show the usefulness of the proposed method.
Cost Comparison for the Installation of Steel Frames vs Wooden Frames on a Traditional Wooden Fishing Boat in South Sulawesi

Abstract Traditional wooden fishing boats are still being produced by most of the traditional wooden shipyards in Indonesia specifically in the area of South Sulawesi. Nevertheless, the traditional wooden boat craftsman facing the difficulty of wooden log supply as the main wooden boat material especially for wooden frame construction despite the increasing demand for wooden material for the boat construction. The difficulty to acquire the specific wooden for wooden frame caused by the specific requirements of each wooden frame. They must be in the specific shape according to the specific curvature of each transversal boat section along the boat length. Hence, for the sustainability of wooden boat construction process, alternative material is needed for replacing the certain wooden boat construction component, especially for wooden frames. Fortunately, research relating to the use of alternative material for wooden boat construction have been conducted. The focus of the research is on the use of steel frame to replace the wooden frame on the wooden boat construction. This paper discusses the cost comparison for the fabrication and installation process as well as the material cost of the steel frame to the wooden boat construction with wooden frame to the wooden boat construction. The result shows that the cost for fabricating and installing steel frame is 13% higher to compare to the wooden frame. However, if the total wooden boat construction cost is being considered, the total difference is only 3%.

A Corpus-Based Comparative Analysis of CSAT English from 2015 to 2020 on the Basis of Criterion-Referenced Assessment

This study aims to examine whether there are linguistic differences in College Scholastic Ability Test (CSAT) English using corpus linguistic programs such as Readability Formulas and Lexical Complexity Analyzer (LCA) on the basis of the criterion-referenced assessment introduced in the 2018 academic year. The study compares CSAT English reading from 2015 to 2017 academic year (norm-referenced assessment) and 2018 to 2020 academic year (criterion-referenced assessment). There are no significant differences on any of the measures. As level of difficulty in CSAT English is to be maintained, we see that the exam purpose has been achieved. However, the results of evaluation with the Readability Formulas web-site indicate that the level of CSAT reading texts is too high for twelfth grade students in Korea. Previous studies have found that the policy of linking EBS and CSAT has produced difficult reading passages in CSAT English. In accord with the aim of the national curriculum to enhance students’ communicative skills, decreasing the difficulty level of reading texts and removing some word families or vocabulary at too high a level may cause teachers and students to focus more on speaking and writing; and speaking and writing skills need to be directly assessed.
