Flexible mean field variational inference using mixtures of non-overlapping exponential families

Sparse models are desirable for many applications across diverse domains as they can perform automatic variable selection, aid interpretability, and provide regularization. When fitting sparse models in a Bayesian framework, however, analytically obtaining a posterior distribution over the parameters of interest is intractable for all but the simplest cases. As a result practitioners must rely on either sampling algorithms such as Markov chain Monte Carlo or variational methods to obtain an approximate posterior. Mean field variational inference is a particularly simple and popular framework that is often amenable to analytically deriving closed-form parameter updates. When all distributions in the model are members of exponential families and are conditionally conjugate, optimization schemes can often be derived by hand. Yet, I show that using standard mean field variational inference can fail to produce sensible results for models with sparsity-inducing priors, such as the spike-and-slab. Fortunately, such pathological behavior can be remedied as I show that mixtures of exponential family distributions with non-overlapping support form an exponential family. In particular, any mixture of a diffuse exponential family and a point mass at zero to model sparsity forms an exponential family. Furthermore, specific choices of these distributions maintain conditional conjugacy. I use two applications to motivate these results: one from statistical genetics that has connections to generalized least squares with a spike-and-slab prior on the regression coefficients; and sparse probabilistic principal component analysis. The theoretical results presented here are broadly applicable beyond these two examples.
The Influence of Organizational Commitment on Teacher Performance in Basic Education High Schools: Shwe Pyi Thar Township, Republic of the Union of Myanmar

This study aimed to measure the levels of organizational commitment of teachers and their performance and to evaluate the influence of organizational commitment on teacher performance in basic education high schools in Shwe Pyi Thar Township, Yangon Region in Myanmar. Survey research design was adopted. The descriptive statistics were used to described the individual demographic information of the participants in the study by frequency and percentage, and to evaluate the influence of organizational commitment of the teachers on teacher performance, Stepwise Multiple Regression Analysis (MRA) was applied.  Participants of the study were 210 teachers of four basic education high schools in Shwe Pyi Thar Township, Yangon Region in Myanmar. The result showed that the level of teachers’ organizational commitment is high, and the level of teachers’ performance is highest.

선교적 교회론 출현에 있어서 ‘교회와 선교’의 패러다임 변화에 관한 신학 논쟁: 에큐메니칼과 복음주의의 선교신학 논쟁을 중심으로

This study is a research on the historical debate about church and mission in ecumenical and evangelical mission theology in the beginning of missional ecclesiology. The theological positions and differences of the two camps not only produced different statements about the church and mission, but also resulted in different interpretations of the church's position and place of life in mission. While, the ecumenical focused on social participation and transformational life, the evangelical emphasized on evangelism, salvation of human being, and church planting. Nevertheless, the epistemological changes finalized to seek reconciliation. In mission, the church's place of life has been newly recognized that evangelism and social participation occur simultaneously. Above all, the two camps sought to pursue reconciliation to complement their mutual theological mission.
Survey of search area of ship in distress

The article describes the different types of maneuvering and search methods that require a clear organization. The scheme of survey of the search area of a ship in distress is considered. There have been illustrated the tactical techniques of search and rescue operations at sea characterized by the fact that the exact location of the ship in distress is unknown. The necessary elements and quantities to be calculated during the search and rescue operation are listed: location of search courses; ratio of the speed and detection range at which a ship in distress can be detected in a specified area of a given width; maximum width of the area to be surveyed; time required to survey the area. The scheme of the survey of the search area is presented. Two survey methods are considered: by a single vessel and by a group of vessels. It is noted that in the first case, the survey will be carried out by the rescue vessel moving over the entire area by longitudinal and transverse tacks in turn; the calculations are given. In the second case, when searching by a group of vessels, the possibilities of surveying an area of greater or lesser width can change. Formulas are presented for calculating the required ratio at which a ship in distress can be detected; the size of the transverse and longitudinal tacks; the maximum width of the area that can be surveyed by a group of vessels involved in the search operation. Using a specific example, the elements of the search and rescue process are calculated.

Pedestrian Movement Tracking Model in Road Environment Based on UAV Video

The development of science and technology provides new methods for traffic flow survey, the method based on UAV video is one of the widely used methods. UAV is widely used in many kinds of monitoring and measurement due to its advantages. In particular, its flexibility is more applicable to the pedestrian flow survey. However, due to the randomness and uncertainty of pedestrian movement, as well as the many obstacles on the pedestrian road, the UAV cannot accurately track and locate the pedestrian movement, resulting in poor application effect and low measurement accuracy. Based on this, this paper proposes a method of pedestrian tracking model in road environment based on UAV video, which can effectively track and locate pedestrians. The calculation model in this paper is compared with other algorithm models. The results show that the calculation results in this paper are better than other methods, and the accuracy of the model used in this paper can be effectively overcome. In order to overcome the obstacles in the process of tracking, accurate positioning can be carried out to improve the tracking accuracy, which can provide reference for the follow-up research.
Establish Fieldness—Experiential Artistic Measures of Game Strategy Reshapes the Commercial Space

Nowadays, China’s internet consumption and entity retail terminals interact with each other. And large shopping malls need to be differentiated from Internet consumption in terms of commercial operation. Reasonable and interesting experiential artistic measures can make the “old” commercial shopping mall become a new recreational area that attracts the surrounding crowd.The advantage of the entity consumption place lies in the transformation of spatial experience, the transformation of experience in different spatial levels from ordinary life. The setting of experience pursues a sense of wholeness and interactivity, which can create a continuous experience plot from four aspects of game strategy: mechanism, story setting, aesthetics, and technology. Create a continuous experience plot. With the visual content of the story, people come to this space to find a novel life experience. The experiential measures of strangeness art is a way to attract customers in commercial space. Experiential artistic measures can reset the leisure nature of the old commercial space. In the planning of the commercial space, we focus on increasing the perceived value of customers through image innovation, attracting the crowd to stay in the space, and cultivating the customer's attachment to the mall.

PENERAPAN PENEMPATAN VARIASI PRE-SATURATION PADA MRI VERTEBRAE CERVICAL POTONGAN SAGITAL SEKUEN T2 FAST SPIN ECHO (Tinjauan Pustaka)

MRI has an important role in the assessment of abnormalities in the cervical spine. Sagittal cervical spine MRI has an advantage in diagnosing abnormalities such as herniated disc and stenosis. However, there are occurrence of ghosting artifacts caused by swallowing, breathing, blood flow, and CSF flow which makes disadvantage of cervical spine MRI. This can be reduced by using re-saturation placed on anterior, inferior, and superior to the cervical spine. The purpose of this study was to determine the role of pre-saturation on MRI of cervical spine and placement of pre-saturation which can produce the most optimal image on MRI of cervical spine.This research applied a qualitative method with the study literature review such as collecting and analyzing literature related to pre-saturation on cervical spine MRI in sagittal slices of T2 FSE sequences with keywords “Pre Saturation”, Cervical spine MRI”, and “Ghosting artifacts”. This literature review study was conducted by collecting data published in 2001-2020. Obtained 5 journals that are considered relevant had been used as library sources and then analyzed.From the five journals explained that pre-saturation aims to suppress the signal from the network that is subjected to the pre-saturation. First, anterior pre-saturation (throat area) which can reduce artifacts due to swallowing movements. Second, inferior pre-saturation which can reduce artifacts due to breathing and blood vessels. Third, superior pre-saturation to reduce artifacts due to basilar artery blood flow on cervical spine MRI in sagittal fragments. Pre saturation can increase specific absorption rate (SAR) and scanning time. The conclusions from three journals that the optimal pre-saturation placement are placed in the two area of cervical spine MRI (anterior-inferior and anterior-superior) to minimize the ghosting artifacts.
Lees om te Leer om te Lewe: Reading Habits of Students at the University of Limpopo, South Africa

The importance of reading cannot be overstated. The persistent lack of a reading culture in South Africa has been reported by many scholars. Following the growing concern for the lack of reading habits of South Africans in general and students at the institutions of higher learning in particular, this quantitative study investigates the reading habits of students at the University of Limpopo, South Africa. The data were collected using a questionnaire which was completed by 98 students in the School of Education and Programme of Information Studies. The students were identified on the basis that they are being trained to encourage and promote the culture of reading in their work. Microsoft Excel was used to capture, calculate and organise the collected data for analysing. The major findings of this study were that the majority of the students at the University of Limpopo have poor reading habits and that they read for academic purposes only and not for pleasure. The study also revealed that the students were not reading for pleasure as a result of the unavailability of reading materials at the university. It is recommended that the library of the University of Limpopo introduce reading materials to accommodate students to read for pleasure and recreation. The development of lifelong reading interests and reading habits is a constant process which begins in the home, improves systematically in the school and is carried on in later life. Therefore, reading is not just for school, it is for life, as people have to “read to learn to live”.

Nongam(農巖) Kim Chang-hyeop(金昌協)’s Sentence Theory And The Implications of the Contents of University Writing Education

The purpose of this study is to look at the core of the Nongam Kim Chang-hyeop"s written theory, which contains the writing philosophy of the Joseon Dynasty, and to suggest what kind of education it can give to current university writing education, especially curtural and logical writing. The research method used the content analysis method to extract, classify, and analyze all of the data describing Kim Chang-hyeop"s theory of sentences from Nongamjip. The key point of his sentence theory was to write current writing with immutable truths, to write balanced writing with integrity, and to write core exploration of the whole heart. These three can be transferred to the educational content of curtural and logical writing at universities and can be used specifically in response to each other in terms of the nature, performance and attitude of writing. Presenting the training is as follows: First, he writes his own writings that fit the current era, embodied community values that do not change over time. Second, express one"s thoughts and experiences honestly, but write in a balanced way, depending on the type and situation of the writing, the characteristics and contents of the style and composition are not biased to one side. Third, it has the attitude of reflecting on words, sentences, paragraphs, and writings from various points of view, sorting out the key points and rewriting them with the most appropriate writing.

Crafting a CMMI V2 Compliant Process for Governance Practice Area: An Experiential Proposal

Noteworthy amount of systems and software development organizations deal with the Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI) for enhancements concerning relevant processes, performance, and products. Besides, lately, the CMMI Institute released the new version (V2) of the CMMI. CMMI V2 includes some new practice areas and the governance is one of the most chief practice areas owing to that it is a must for every other practice area and benchmark level ratings. In this paper, the author proposes an experiential craft process for the governance practice area. Explicitly, the author presents all-inclusive particulars concerning the process definition, process performance indicator, process inputs and outputs, process activities flow, governance meeting presentation template, governance minutes of meetings, and governance action items log. The author modestly thinks these specifics are going to be beneficial for organizations in defining and refining their own governance business processes and relevant assets to not only become compliant with CMMI V2, but also conspicuously reduce the cost of process implementations, to notably increase the likelihood of meeting objectives, and to firmly guarantee that the implemented processes support and contribute to the business success.
Exploiting Bluetooth to Enquire Close Contacts Without Privacy Leakage

An outbreak of infectious diseases does as much harm to human society as a war, and which is even more difficult to prevent. The prevention of infectious diseases needs to start from the source, meanwhile, to identify anyone in close contact. Finding the close contacts via Bluetooth search signals to better identify potential patients can help to reduce the impact on human society caused by droplet transmission of infectious diseases. In this study, we use Bluetooth search record and machine learning to identify close contacts on the premise of protecting patients’ privacy. We proposed a classification method based on privacy protection, which can store and calculate user’s private information without revealing it on an untrusted server, and without knowing the user’s plain text message of the saved information. This method can be carried out with acceptable computational overhead and achieve a higher accuracy.
Secure Data Duplication Checking with Backup Recovery in Big Data Environments

With the rapidly increasing amounts of data produced worldwide, networked and multi- user storage systems are becoming very popular. However, concerns over data security still prevent many users from migrating data to remote storage. The conventional solution is to encrypt the data before it leaves the owner’s premises. While sound from a security perspective,this approach prevents the storage provider from effectively applying storage efficiency functions, such as compression and deduplication, which would allow optimal usage of the resources and consequently lower service cost. Client-side data deduplication in particular ensures that multiple uploads of the same content only consume network bandwidth and storage space of a single upload. Deduplication is actively used by a number of backup providers as well as various data services. In this project, we present a scheme that permits the storage without duplication of multiple types of files. And also need the intuition is that outsourced data may require different levels of protection. Based on this idea, we design an encryption scheme that guarantees semantic security for unpopular data and provides weaker security and better storage and bandwidth benefits for popular data. This way, data deduplication can be effective for popular data, whilst semantically secure encryption protects unpopular content. We can use the backup recover system at the time of blocking and also analyze frequent log in access system.
PERSPECTIVE DIRECTIONS OF EDUCATIONAL AND PEDAGOGICAL DISCOURSE DEVELOPMENT: CONSTRUCTIVISM AND HERMENEUTICS

This article deals with the paradigms of constructivism and hermeneutics in modern educational and pedagogical discourse in order to justify the developing function of education. The theoretical provisions of constructivism, on the basis of which man constructs reality, and hermeneutic understanding, expressed through the concept of construction , are presented in the works of domestic and foreign researchers.The method of communication between the learner and teacher is considered as an awakening learning, as a construction based on reflection and understanding in the context of activity and deep ethics. An example of the use of constructivism in linguodidactics based on the fundamental concept oflearner autonomy is given.
Ordinal Regression with Fenton-Wilkinson Order Statistics: A Case Study of an Orienteering Race

In sports, individuals and teams are typically interested in final rankings. Final results, such as times or distances, dictate these rankings, also known as places. Places can be further associated with ordered random variables, commonly referred to as order statistics. In this work, we introduce a simple, yet accurate order statistical ordinal regression function that predicts relay race places with changeover-times. We call this function the Fenton-Wilkinson Order Statistics model. This model is built on the following educated assumption: individual leg-times follow log-normal distributions. Moreover, our key idea is to utilize Fenton-Wilkinson approximations of changeover-times alongside an estimator for the total number of teams as in the notorious German tank problem. This original place regression function is sigmoidal and thus correctly predicts the existence of a small number of elite teams that significantly outperform the rest of the teams. Our model also describes how place increases linearly with changeover-time at the inflection point of the log-normal distribution function. With real-world data from Jukola 2019, a massive orienteering relay race, the model is shown to be highly accurate even when the size of the training set is only 5% of the whole data set. Numerical results also show that our model exhibits smaller place prediction root-mean-square-errors than linear regression, mord regression and Gaussian process regression.
