Composite scanning and position decoupling method of confocal profilometer for measuring large aperture optical surfaces

Traditional confocal profilometers (CPs) obtain the axial response signal (ARS) through the axial scanning (AS) method and extract the peak value of the ARS to obtain the axial position information of the measured point. When measuring large diameter surfaces with point-by-point AS method, the horizontal motion platform needs to move step by step repeatedly, which seriously affects the measurement efficiency. In this paper, a new method of composite scanning (CS) and position decoupling for CPs is proposed to improve the measurement efficiency of large aperture optical surfaces. For the CS of the proposed method, the velocity of the horizontal motion platform is kept constant during the whole measurement process, while synchronously, the intensity curve of the composite axial response signal (CARS) including light intensity, axial position, and horizontal position information is recorded. The peak value of the detected CARS is extracted, and the relative axial and horizontal position information of the measured point is obtained simultaneously. Experimental results indicate that the measurement efficiency is increased by 10 times for a 100 mm diameter optical element measurement using the CS method.

Emotional State Prediction Using Speech Signals

In this work, a methodology to estimate the emotional state of humans through the voice is presented using the anger, boredom, disgust, anxiety, fear, happiness, sadness, surprise and neutral emotions. The operation of our system is based on the Partially Observable Markov Processes better known as POMDP. POMDP main problem is to decide what policy-action to take in one iteration in order to approach from a source state to a goal while obtaining the maximum reward in each iteration. POMDP were used, because it allows us to know through states of beliefs how the emotions expressed in a conversation can influence the emotional state of a different person. To know the emotional levels of a person, we start with a uniform distribution on emotions. Each time new information is obtained an therefore the belief state must be updated. Finally, this paper presents two strategies to update the state of belief, which are divided into exact and approximate algorithms to obtain the best performance based on precision and speed in real time.
Towards real-time processors: Electro- and all-optical photonic neural networks (Conference Presentation)

While the data throughput of electronic processors is rather high (TFLOP range), the question arises whether optical neural networks (NN) enable a value proposition for zero-delay (real-time) processing? The answer might be ‘yes’, since once the network is trained, the time to perform an inference tasks is simply given by the time-of-flight of the photon through the processor’s NN. Here we discuss how the three functions of the perceptron (dot-product synaptic weighting, summation, and nonlinear thresholding) can be mapped onto a) optoelectronic [George et al. Opt.Exp. 2019], and b) all-optical hardware [Miscuglio et al. OMEx 2018]. The latter is realized via co-integration of phase-change-materials atop Silicon photonics. Once trained, the weights only require rare updating, thus saving power. Performance wise, such an integrated all-optical NN is capable of &lt; fJ/MAC using experimental demonstrated pump-probe [Waldecker et al, Nat. Mat. 2015] with a delay per perceptron being ~ps.
Using partial stages of Radon transform to detect non straight edges (Conference Presentation)

Radon transform, and more specifically the multiscale Discrete Radon Transform, is a valuable tool to find straight structures on images. But the straight lines that DRT finds are those traversing completely the image, and hence DRT is unable to detect non-straight structures. That limitation is normally adressed by evaluating Radon transform on non-overlapped subsquares of the image. In this work we will show that the initial partial transform stages of multiscale DRT contain enough information to detect non-straight edges. By stopping on initial stages of an already linearithmic transform that can be executed on integer arithmethics, the proposed method is found to be much faster than its alternatives. We will show its ability to process images at video acquisition rate on mobile phones.

Indonesian learners’ perception on the usage of mobile applications in writing skill

Nowadays, digital technologies play significant roles in daily life. In educational context, these technologies help learners to gain more knowledge. However, the learners mainly use mobile devices for non-academic purposes, like play game or open the social media applications rather than use the learning applications. In fact, mobile device is an effective media that can make the learners motivated and more interested in learning English. The further research needs to investigate students’ perception on the usage of mobile applications especially in creative writing skill. The participants of the research are 30 senior high school students consisting of 12 males and 18 females. The data is collected by using close-ended questionnaire. This research classified as case study research using randomized sampling. Descriptive data analysis was conducted. The results indicate that mobile applications generally give some advantages in learning English. The perceived benefits of mobile learning comprised opportunities to have ubiquitous learning, have so many exercises, analyze the specific mistakes the learner has made, and also explain the principles behind the correct answer. The learners should maximize the usage of mobile applications positively. The findings have several significant implications for educators, particularly for the use of mobile applications in academic purposes and the strategies to implement mobile learning.
La didattica della lingua francese, la linguistica dei corpora e l’inclusione Una proposta metodologica

One of the most obvious difficulties in a foreign language class is to generate interest and to actively involve all the students. Based on the hypothesis that DDL (Data-Driven Leaning) would be a good practice in teaching a foreign language also for middle school students, we proposed the learning of some linguistic phenomena concerning French grammar (morphology, syntax) through concordance analysis in FLE classes. Our DDL courses were held with the collaboration of our FLE colleagues. The students learned to use an adequate metalanguage to describe the discovered phenomena and they became aware of the importance of the linguistic cotext of a keyword.
비즈니스 중국어 학습수요에 관한 연구

Since the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and South Korea, South Korean enterprises that trade with Chinese have grown rapidly. In order to better cooperate with Chinese people, Business Chinese Learning Demands are also growing. Business Chinese has become one of the essential skills of South Korean business people. Therefore, Business Chinese teaching has gradually become the focus of Chinese teaching in South Korea. The premise of teaching students well is to understand their learning needs. In this paper, 302 South Koreans with different Chinese proficiency, occupations and ages were surveyed. The surveys were conducted twice, in 2016 and 2019.The learning needs were divided into four aspects: material needs, psychological needs, language ability needs and curriculum needs. The purpose of the survey is to better understand the students’ learning needs and changes in demand. Based on the results, we can effectively guide students’ learning, optimize the classroom teaching and make the testing standards more reasonable.
가출청소년에 대한 경찰의 개입 및 일탈행위 제재에 관한 영국법제와 그 시사점

As we have seen, in England and Wales, youths are identified as the subject of rights and they are protected and supported through various means of intervention to ensure their right to development. Out-of-home youths are a representative type of subject that requires welfare intervention. In England and Wales, related laws and guidelines have been enacted to stipulate that multi-authorities such as local governments and police should cooperate and provide necessary protection and support. In particular, the police are the first to find out-of-home youths and have the authority to take necessary measures for foster care, emergency protection orders, etc. This process is secured by the establishment of a systematic cooperation including information sharing among related organisations.When out-of-home youths commit anti-social behaviour, the police have the authority to take measures to regulate their behaviour and to protect them. There are several criticisms relating to these measures such as the introduction of an ambiguous concept of anti-social behaviour and excessive control over the behaviour of youths. However, the police in England and Wales do not operate the system on a regulation-by-regulation basis, but they provide various support to them along with the related organisations in connection with the diversion.On the other hand, in Korea, the information sharing and cooperation system among the related agencies is not properly equipped, and it is difficult to protect youths outside the home at the police level due to limitations of laws. In this respect, the case of England and Wales police is helpful in improving our protection system.
Permissioned Blockchain Design for Integrated Healthcare Data Management

With increasing demand for collaborative work on healthcare data for research and effective healthcare management, the need for a distributed mechanism for resource sharing is inevitable. Common implementation for integrated healthcare data management usually rely upon a centralized data processing and repository, in which data is extracted as needed. However, such implementation is unscalable and prone to security and privacy issues, specifically when dealing with private and confidential health data. In this paper, we propose a preliminary design of permissioned blockchain application for integrated health data management. Our proposed scheme utilizes distributed ledger mechanism for data storage and verification, which allows participating entities to access and verify healthcare data in a distributed manner without depending on centralized facility. The proposed design reflected a simulated scenario involving medical institutions and military service in healthcare data management in national service recruitment.
Repairing highly corrupted speech and images with U-net autoencoders

Recovering data from high amounts of loss and corruption would be useful for a wide variety of civilian and military applications. Highly corrupted data (e.g., speech and images) has been less studied relative to the problem of light corruption, but would be advantageous for applications such as low-light imagery and weak signal reception in acoustic sensing and radio communication. Unlike milder signal corruptions, resolving strong noise interference may require a more robust approach than simply removing predictable noise, namely actively looking for the expected signal, a type of problem well suited for machine learning. In this work, we evaluate a variant of the U-net autoencoder neural network topology for accomplishing the difficult task of denoising highly corrupted images and English speech when noise floors are 2-10x stronger than the clean signal. We test our methods on corruptions including additive white Gaussian noise and channel dropout.

A Cognitive load assessment study of Three-dimensional Interactive Virtual Reality Interfaces

Advances in virtual reality (VR) open possibilities for novel three-dimensional (3D) graphical user interfaces (GUIs) to emerge for complex tasks and information visualisation.However, three dimensional GUIs do not have many design heuristics.Since 3D GUIs deal with a third dimension, understanding cognitive workload of such systems need to consider a set of different variables to make the interface more usable.Factors like the field of view, physical demand, and mental demand that increase the workload in interacting with three dimensional interfaces need to be considered.This paper reports an experiment by collating quantitative and qualitative responses from N = 30 users to explore usability problems that are likely to be encountered when a two-dimensional (2D) interface element such as number keypad is replaced with a 3D element interface in VR.Would an interface with 3D elements perform better than the existing 2D GUIs is a moot research question?The results indicate user likeliness towards the three dimensional interface.The paper discusses issues of interaction in 2D and 3D virtual spaces with their possible implications for upcoming 3D VR environments.

Sulla segmentazione delle parole in lettere di semicolti

This paper aims at describing and analyzing the word segmentation in texts of an Italian substandard variety commonly referred to as italiano popolare ‘popular Italian’ (De Mauro 1970, Cortelazzo 1972). Our corpus is made up of two epistolary collections: the First World War correspondence of the Italian prisoners of war (Spitzer 2016) and theletters, dating back to the sixties, written by Italian emigrants in Germany addressed to Radio Colonia (Sala / Massariello Merzagora 2008). After touching upon the linguistic debate on the notion of ‘word’, we address the graphic reanalysis processes of the spoken chain identified in the letters, i.e. agglutinations and deglutinations. We focus on the criteria regulating such processes and on the specific properties characterizing the words involved.
