The Accuracy of Computer-Assisted Text Analysis Based on Standardized Sentiment Dictionaries

Computer-assisted text analysis is often used for the measurement of constructs based on word frequencies in texts, typically measured with standardized collections of content dictionaries (e.g. LIWC, DICTION) developed for the analysis of language in general. The purpose of this paper is to compare the results of a standardized dictionary of positive and negative sentiment against the results obtained by a dictionary of positive and negative sentiment developed by the researchers for a business/management context. We apply these two dictionaries to a sample of 419 corporate documents and a sample of 2,939 news articles and qualitatively examine their suitability for this kind of data, based on high-frequency words. Our results indicate that the standardized dictionary, which was not built for a business context, does not interpret business terms correctly. Our own dictionary, meanwhile, contains high-frequency words with positive or negative sentiment that are not found in the standardized dictionary. Since the standardized dictionary produces inaccurate results in a business/management context, our results suggest that management scholars should not apply standardized dictionaries blindly but should at least examine high-frequency words for false positives.
Terrorist Speech under Bills C-51 and C-59 and the Othman Hamdan Case: The Continued Incoherence of Canada’s Approach

It is argued that the neither the approach taken to terrorist speech in Bill C-51 or Bill C-59 is satisfactory. Both offences fail to deal with the problem of calls for people to engage in unspecified generic acts of terrorism as seen in Othman Hamdan’s calls for “lone wolves” “swiftly to activate”. An extensive case study of the Othman Hamdan case is provided including the use of immigration law after his acquittal for counselling murder and other crimes. Hamdan’s acquittal for counselling murder and other offences suggests that the new Bill C-59 terrorist speech offence will likely not reach Hamdan’s internet postings. One coherent response would be to repeal terrorist speech offences while making greater use of court-ordered take downs of such speech, programs to counter violent extremism and surveillance. Another coherent response would be to criminalize the promotion and advocacy of terrorist activities subject to defences specifically designed to protect fundamental freedoms. Unfortunately, neither Bills C-51 or C-59 pursue either of these options.
Multimedia Web-Based Constructivist Learning Application for Information Literacy Skills Development

The purpose of this study is to design and develop a multimedia web-based constructivist learning application known as WebOPAC Self Training Tool with Guided Exploration (WSTTG) which is expected to train and access individual’s information literacy skills. This tool has been designed and developed according to the constructivist instructional design theories and constructivist instructional development model. The process design consists of four level processes which were component design, single path prototype, alpha version and beta version. The development process ended with four activities which were summative evaluation, final packaging, diffusion and adoption. Throughout the design and development process, there were two instructional designers and two subject matter experts were participated to review and evaluate the design components of the WSTTG. Three potential learners were also participated to evaluate the beta version prototype whether it is appropriately apply to their learning context. The repetition of reviewing the alpha and beta version prototypes lasted when there were no comments found during the final evaluation. Overall, all experts and learners were satisfied with the interface, surface characteristics, scenario, and instructional strategies used in the prototype after consideration on comments and suggestions have been made accordingly. This tool was recommended to be commercialized as an instructional strategy for library orientation program and to be used by both the librarians and library users for WebOPAC teaching and learning purposes. The design and development of this tool could be a guideline to future instructional designers, web developers and e-learning content specialist in developing a multimedia web-based constructivist application in various fields.

The Future Is Metahistory:Using Spime-based Design Fiction As A Research Lens For Designing Sustainable Internet of Things Devices

A spime describes a device that could generate data about itself throughout its entire life-cycle and this ‘metahistory’ would be saved and remain searchable and mineable. Given growing Internet of Things (IoT) device e-waste and material scarcity issues, the concept of spimes provides a useful approach to addressing the current lack of consideration of sustainability in the IoT. Using Design Fiction, we generated a series of near future artefacts that help concretise a world in which the UK Government sanctions the use of blockchain technologies to sustainably manage spime metahistories. The Government’s so called ‘Open Traceability Protocol’ enables citizens to securely trade data-rich spime objects, use recycling apps to search for replacement spime components, and to access spime devices’ provenance information. The paper outlines the design of the artefacts that ask whether increased data transparency would place greater accountably upon designers and producers in relation to the resources they deplete to manufacture connected products, while at the same time making such issues explicit to users of IoT devices. We also discuss how reflecting upon our design process enabled us to develop a theoretical lens – IoT Design Ethics and IoT Data Ownership – through which aspects of IoT unsustainability can be more thoroughly considered. Finally, we argue that viewing this lens alongside two previously developed spime research lenses allows the formation of an overarching multidimensional lens for spimes, which we contend researchers and practitioners can harness in order to begin reframing IoT design culture as a more sustainable paradigm for design practice.

A Gradient Invariant DCT-Based Image Watermarking Scheme for Object Detection

In this paper, we proposed a novel DCT-based watermarking scheme for grayscale images, which utilizes the connection between discrete cosine transform (DCT) and the Histogram of Oriented Gradient (HOG) feature extraction operation. We embed messages into the low-frequency band, and correspondingly, an effective coefficients pair selection scheme is constructed. The proposed scheme not only maintains the superiority of compression robustness but also keeps good visual quality for the watermarked image. Moreover, the proposed method is insensitive to HOG feature extraction, which makes the watermarked image more suitable for further objection detection and recognition scenarios.

Advanced encryption standard (AES) and its hardware watermarking for ownership protection

In this era of consumer electronics, cyber security is one of the key challenges. Any security, privacy, or protection methods that are deployed rely on cryptography. Advance encryption standard (AES) is one of the heavily used cryptography algorithms for its advantages. This chapter is dedicated to the process of AES and its hardware design in the form of IP core. Several hardware security techniques rely on AES IP core as an important block. Additionally, since this is such an important core, its self-protection against forgery/piracy is also crucial. Thus, this chapter will also discuss about AES IP core protection using watermarking.
"When you Believe in Things that you don't Understand": the Effect of Cross-Generational Habits on Self-Improving System Integration

Humans experiencing unexpected feedback to certain actions which they are not able to explain, might develop superstitious behaviour. In this paper, we discuss that similar behaviour might also occur in engineered systems. We provide a thought-experiment regarding such behaviour in computational systems. In this paper, we propose a first step towards improved runtime systems integration based on a the ability to become aware of previously-unknown others and their actions, as described in networked self-awareness.
Semantic Similarities for Projects and Freelancers Profile Matching

People are more and more willing to become free-lancers and manage their personal projects. They hunt projects they can work at from home and for a short period of time. There are few portals that offer a richer filtering. Our application comes with a new approach, in order to offer a more appropriate filtering depending on each persons preferences. For that, our approach compares the data between the freelancer profile and the offered project, through a set of input parameters. These parameters are the skill, profession area and description. Texts are compared using semantic analysis, and the final score is displayed at the end of the process in the user interface.
Let’s burn a hole in the binomial state of the radiation field

In quantum optics, nonclassical properties of various quantum states of radiation field are frequently studied. Some of those states are finite dimensional and referred to as qudits. These states are important because of their potential applications in quantum information processing. Further, nonclassical states are those which do not have any classical counterpart. Consequently, to establish quantum supremacy, we always require nonclassical state. Recently, Sivakumar and Meher have studied the nonclassical properties of the number state filtered coherent state, and shown that the number state filtering introduces nonclassical features into coherent state which is otherwise classical. This observation motivated us to investigate the role of hole burning (state filtering) on a state which is already nonclassical. Specifically, we have selected a Binomial state which is known to be nonclassical as our test bed and burnt a hole at vacuum (equivalently filtered the vacuum state). To check the nonclassical properties of vacuum filtered binomial state, we have used Vogel’s criterion, criterion of higher- and lower-order antibunching, criterion of higher-order sub-Poissonian photon statistics, Linear entropy etc. The investigation results show that vacuum filtered binomial state studied here is highly nonclassical, and the hole burning process enhances the nonclassical depth.
The Influence of Body Position on Presence When Playing a Virtual Reality Game

In this study, we explore how proprioception relates to the sense of presence in a virtual environment. To investigate this objective, we compared three body conditions (Standing vs. Sitting vs. Half-Sitting) to examine whether body position influences the level of presence when playing a virtual reality (VR) game. The results showed that participants who played the game in a standing position felt greater presence than those who were sitting or half-sitting, while the degree of presence was higher for sitting than for half-sitting participants. In addition, a correlation analysis of the control, sensory, and attention factor associated with presence revealed a strong connection between control and sensory factor, whereas attention factor was moderately linked to control and sensory factor. Based on these results, we may assume that variations in movement related to body position influence proprioception, which consequently affects the sense of presence. Overall, this study has confirmed the important association between body position and presence in VR.
Images with hidden information data set for information retrieval usage

The main task in Optical Character Recognition (OCR) is to get and convert all the text characters on an image as a plain text data. However, if the image has low contrast and low exposure, an issue may occur. The characters may be hidden and can't be recovered completely. One solution that has been done and reported in 2017 is by applying histogram equalization as a pre-processing step in OCR. Here, we deliver a total of 30 sample data, some of which had been used on the research's experiment reported in 2017, and some others were added later.
Enhanced Geometric Techniques for Point Marking in Model-Free Augmented Reality

Specifying points in three-dimensional space is essential in AR applications. Geometric triangulation is a straightforward way to specify points, but its naive implementation has low precision. We designed two enhanced geometric techniques for 3D point marking: VectorCloud, which uses multiple rays to reduce jittering, and ImageRefinement, which allows 3D ray refinement to improve precision. Our experiments, conducted in both simulated and real AR, demonstrate that both techniques improve the precision of 3D point marking, and that ImageRefinement is superior to VectorCloud overall. These results are particularly relevant in the design of mobile AR systems for large outdoor areas.
From Selection to Shelf: A Process Improvement Experience

After Hillsboro Public Library (HPL) used design thinking to build a collaborative service model on the public floor, we wanted to extend it behind the scenes. How could we achieve our goal of getting items from door to floor in under 48 hours? How could we improve the workflow with selection, acquisitions, cataloging, and processing to create a 7-day-a-week operation? The library teamed up with the City’s Eureka! Project to use process improvement tools to analyze our systems and workflow. We involved non-library staff on the team to get an outsider’s perspective, and we asked the staff doing the work lots and lots of questions. After three days we identified short, medium, and long-term action items to meet our goals and ultimately provide better service to patrons.
Covariance Analysis for the Evaluation of English Teaching Effect

The knowledge basis of college students at the time of admission has a crucial impact on their future academic performance. Therefore, when evaluating the teaching effect of different groups of college students, the analysis of variance on the original data cannot ignore the influence of students' English foundation before entering a university on their English learning in college. This paper uses the method of covariance analysis to make a comparison and evaluation of the English learning effect of four colleges, which can exclude the influence of students' entrance basis on the teaching effect
Higher order nonclassicality in single photon added and subtracted binomial state of light

In the recent years, effect of photon addition and subtraction to a quantum state of light is explored for coherent state, thermal state, Schrödinger cat state, Gaussian state and many more. It is reported that the phenomena of photon addition or subtraction significantly affect nonclassical properties of the states of light. Here we wish to study the effect of photon addition and subtraction to the binomial start of radiation on the nonclassical properties of the state. We observed that the depth of nonclassicality increases with photon addition and decreases with photon subtraction in antibunching and squeezing phenomenon. We also report significant changes in photon number distribution and variable with depending parameters.
A study of Pareto-based methods for ensemble pool generation and aggregation

In the field of machine learning, the application of ensemble methods is one of the most successful techniques in order to achieve a good performance in classification tasks. The combination of multiple classifiers is able to achieve better results than a single model, and much effort has been put into applying multi-objective optimisation for improving results with diverse ensemble generation and classifier aggregation. Most recently, dynamic classifier selection and weighting has acquired relevance in the field of multiple-classifier systems. However, to the authors knowledge, there has not yet been a comparison study of Pareto based techniques and dynamic ensemble methods. Thus, this paper proposes a comparison of two ensemble member generation techniques (Pareto-based diverse ensemble generation and bootstrap aggregating) and five aggregation methods (selection of the best classifier, majority voting with all members, majority voting with members selected with multi-objective optimisation, dynamic classifier selection and dynamic classifier weighting), performed on six binary classification benchmark data sets. Results indicate that the combination of bootstrap aggregating and majority voting with multi-objective ensemble member selection achieves the best performance.
Towards Temporal URI Collections for Named Entities

Web archives represent crucial endeavors in preserving the Web from the past and provide a valuable resource for researchers of different disciplines. Due to their size, navigation in these collections is often limited to specifying an URI and the desired date. However, typical research questions often revolve around the evolution of entities instead of specific websites. Although full-text search often seems to be the first choice to look up web pages, while it provides a quick way to yield the best match with a keyword, its diversified ranking is not made for compiling reliable entity related collections. Further, it generally ignores the temporal relevance that is needed to find pages from the past, e.g., in web archives. In this paper, we present a collection of ranked resource identifiers, characterizing named entities over time. For this purpose, different datasets were collected and evaluated by comparing each with a combination of others. Benchmarked against web search engines, our approach achieves a remarkable precision of 83.3 % and shows promising results for high-quality lookups and temporal collection building. To not only rely on existing datasets, we have implemented an interactive platform to get humans in the loop to expand the collection by contributing URIs, metadata and temporal information as well as to correct errors.
