Suitable Data Representation for Abnormal Pattern Detection in Smart Home Environment.

Development in the area of sensor technologies and subsequently applications within the Internet of Things allows the implementation of systems for continuous monitoring of human's vital parameters and daily activities. This development is welcomed since the population aged 65 and over is constantly increasing. Moreover, the number of seniors living alone is also increasing. The monitoring systems can contribute to the safety and security of elderly people and allow them to stay at home where they are used to live as long as possible. Application of various sensor types raises questions on the most suitable sensor data representation, not losing useful information, and also on the design of detection and evaluation algorithms. In the paper, we briefly present several existing approaches and explain why we decided to use the basic ideas coming from the area of behaviour informatics.

A Spectral Approach to Unsupervised Object Segmentation in Video

We formulate object segmentation in video as a graph partitioning problem in both space and time, in which nodes are pixels and their relations form local neighbourhoods. We claim that the strongest cluster in this pixel level graph represents the salient object segmentation. We compute the main cluster using a novel and fast 3D filtering technique that finds the spectral clustering solution, namely the principal eigenvector of the graph's adjacency matrix, without building the matrix explicitly - which would be intractable. Our method is based on the power iteration for finding the principal eigenvector of a matrix, which we prove that it is equivalent to performing a specific set of 3D convolutions in the space-time feature volume. This allows us to avoid creating the matrix and have a fast parallel implementation on GPU. We show that our approach is also suitable for online processing of video streams, while being much faster than the classical power iteration applied directly on the adjacency matrix. Different from other works, our approach is dedicated to preserving object consistency in space and time at the level of pixels. For that it requires powerful pixel-wise features at the frame level. This makes it perfectly suitable for using as features the output of existing segmentation algorithms and fast improving over their solution, without any other supervision. In experiments, we obtain consistent improvement, using the same set of hyper-parameters, over the top state of the art methods on DAVIS-2016 dataset, both in unsupervised and semi-supervised tasks.
Virtual Reality Exercise on College Students' Mood and Rating of Perceived Exertion

PURPOSE: This study examined differences in college students’ mood and rating of perceived exertion (RPE) during immersive virtual reality (VR), non-immersive VR, and traditional biking sessions. METHODS: Forty-nine college students (34 females; Mage=23.6) completed three separate 20-minute biking exercise sessions: 1) immersive VR biking on VirZoom VR bike using PlayStation 4; 2) non-immersive VR biking on Gamercize bike using Xbox 360; and 3) traditional biking on Spirit Fitness XBU55. Their mood was assessed via the Brunel Mood Scale (anger, confusion, depression, fatigue, tension, and vigor) during each session. RPE was evaluated by the Borg Rating of Perceived Exertion every 4 minutes. Repeated measures ANOVA was used to compare the mean differences in mood and RPE among these 3 exercise sessions. RESULTS: Overall, significant differences were observed between biking sessions for mean RPE [F (2, 98) = 3.58, p = 0.03, η2 = 0.07)] and all mood variables [F (2, 96) = 3.84 - 278.56, p < 0.05, η2 = 0.07 - 0.85], except for tension (p > 0.05). Post hoc Bonferroni comparisons indicated immersive VR had significantly higher anger compared to non-immersive VR (1.09 ± 0.21 vs 1.5 ± 0.66, p < 0.01); non-immersive VR had significantly higher confusion compared to immersive VR (1.51 ± 0.69 vs 1.26 ± 0.53, p = 0.01) and traditional biking (1.51 ± 0.69 vs 1.20 ± 0.4, p < 0.01), respectively; immersive VR had significantly lower depression compared to traditional biking (1.07 ± 0.18 vs 1.34 ± 0.68, p = 0.03); both immersive VR (1.86 ± 0.72 vs 2.47 ± 0.87, p < 0.01) and non-immersive VR (1.81 ± 0.74 vs 2.47 ± 0.87, p < 0.01) had significantly lower fatigue compared to traditional biking; immersive VR had significantly higher vigor compared to non-immersive VR (3.70 ± 0.93 vs 1.30 ± 0.47, p < 0.01) and traditional biking (3.70 ± 0.93 vs 1.15 ± 0.38, p < 0.01), respectively; immersive VR had significantly lower mean RPE compared to traditional biking (10.18 ± 1.84 vs 12.86 ± 2.13, P < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS: Findings suggest a commercially-available VR-based exercise bike (VirZOOM) may be a motivating interesting and enjoyable physical activity promotion tool for healthy young adults.
Subpixel measurement of correlation algorithms based on a Gaussian spot

A theoretical study of the general interpolation method is given, and different correlation algorithms based on a Gaussian spot are compared. By using a correlation algorithm combined with general interpolation, we can achieve the best interpolation method for different correlation algorithms. Meanwhile, we find that the best interpolation method is related to the equivalent Gauss width of a Gaussian spot under ideal conditions.

GL at SemEval-2019 Task 5: Identifying hateful tweets with a deep learning approach.

This paper describes the system we developed for SemEval 2019 on Multilingual detection of hate speech against immigrants and women in Twitter (HatEval -Task 5).We use an approach based on an Attention-based Long Short-Term Memory Recurrent Neural Network.In particular, we build a Bidirectional LSTM to extract information from the word embeddings over the sentence, then apply attention over the hidden states and finally feed this vector to another LSTM model to get a representation from de data.Then, the output obtained with this model is used to get the prediction of each of the sub-tasks with models based on neural networks and linguistic characteristics.
RARE COLLECTIONS OF THE RESEARCH LIBRARY OF THE ONU NAMED AFTER I. I. MECHNIKOV

The rare collections of the Research Library. The basic stages of formation of book collections in one of the best libraries of the South of Ukraine are revealed. The Research Library has a long history, during which the funds of rare book collections were formed. She takes her beginning from the book collection of Richelieu Lyceum. It is shown that research of rare collections as an integral part of social communications is one of the main tasks for today. Rare collections occupy a special place in any library of the world. During the historical development, the Research Library was replenished with various collections. The book collections of famous figures of Odessa of different periods were analyzed, among them there were state figures, university professors and scientists, and their significance for the development of communication and information processes was shown. Among the most prestigious collections is the collection of the Vorontsov Fund. In the collection of Alexander Stroganov, a large number of publications printed in France are concentrated. The role and place of book collections in the informational space are determined. Rare collections of the Research Library are valuable bearers of socially important information. By studying such publications we see the influence of the results of human civilization on the formation of personality of different historical periods.
Computational Investigations of Pragmatic Effects in Natural Language

Semantics and pragmatics are two complimentary and intertwined aspects of meaning in language. The former is concerned with the literal (context-free) meaning of words and sentences, the latter focuses on the intended meaning, one that is context-dependent. While NLP research has focused in the past mostly on semantics, the goal of this thesis is to develop computational models that leverage this pragmatic knowledge in language that is crucial to performing many NLP tasks correctly. In this proposal, we begin by reviewing the current progress in this thesis, namely, on the tasks of definiteness prediction and adverbial presupposition triggering. Then we discuss the proposed research for the remainder of the thesis which builds on this progress towards the goal of building better and more pragmatically-aware natural language generation and understanding systems.

The Current State and Tasks of Research and Organization of Old Manuscripts of Gangwon Region

본고는 강원지역의 고문서 조사와 정리 과정을 살펴보고 수정 및 보완해야 할 사항을 논하였다. 강원지역을 대상으로 한 고문서 조사와 정리는 첫째 1980년대 문화재국에 의한 조사와 정리, 둘째 1990년대 지역연구자들에 의한 조사와 정리, 셋째 2000년대 고문서연구센터에 의한 조사와 정리, 넷째 2010년대 한국학자료센터에 의한 정리와 DB구축이 진행되었다. 이를 통해 일정한 성과를 거두어왔으나 기존의 조사와 정리 방식은 고문서의 특성과 독자층의 효율적인 이용을 고려하여 보완해야 할 부분이 존재한다. 고문서 조사는 전수조사를 원칙으로 보존 상태와 전래 과정에 대한 조사가 병행되어야 하며 강원 전역에 대한 지속적이고 체계적인 조사가 이루어져야 한다. 고문서 정리 방식은 고문 서의 종류와 형식에 맞추어 특성에 맞는 해제의 구성과 기술이 필요하며 중복된 서술을 피하고 핵심적인 내용을 독자층에 전달할 수 있어야 한다. 웹서비스 방식은 분류항목을 확대하고 다층적 선택 분류가 가능하여야 하며 고문서의 핵심 정보를 목록으로 제공하여 다운로드 기능을 추가해야 한다. 이와 더불어 앞으로 고문서 조사와 정리를 원활하게 진행하기 위해서는 고문서와 지역에 관한 이해도가 높은 전문인력을 양성하고 활용하는 데에 큰 관심과 실천이 필요하다.This thesis examined the processes of researching and organizing old manuscripts of Gangwon region, and also discussed the matters to be modified/complemented. The research and organization of old manuscripts of Gangwon region have been performed in four stages from the 1980s to a recent date. First, in the 1980s, the Office of Cultural Properties conducted the General Survey on Old Books of Korea to understand the actual conditions of privately-owned old books while there was also a research on the old manuscripts of Gangwon region. Second, with the increased interest in local history since the 1990s, the researches on old manuscripts were started by local researchers. Third, around 2010, a research on the old manuscripts was performed based on the support from the Academy of Korean Studies. Fourth, with the support from the Academy of Korean Studies, the Korean Studies Center for Gangwon Area has been built up since 2015. Like this, the research and organization of old manuscripts of Gangwon region have achieved the desired results by researchers’ efforts. However, in order to take a major step forward, it would be necessary to modify/complement some matters like research, organization, and web-service as follows. First, the research of old manuscripts should follow the principle of complete survey, on top of recording the state of preservation and the process of transmission of old manuscripts that could be only verified in holding institutions. Second, it would be needed to strengthen the researches on the region with the relatively-less frequency of research, and also to establish the measures for continuing the researches on old manuscripts. Third, the release completed by the Gangwon Center should be easy for readers to understand the necessary information. Fourth, in case when the documents with the same characters/forms are repeated, the efficiency should be promoted by improving the method of description. Fifth, the web-service should be reorganized, so that the classification items of old manuscripts are largely expanded and the multi-layered optional classification could be done. Sixth, the functions to provide/download the whole lists of key information about old manuscripts should be added.
The Relationship between the Use of Social Networking Sites and Intellectual security among Students of Social Work

This study aimed to determine the relationship between the use of social networking sites and intellectual security among students of social work. It also aimed to identify factors to support online intellectual security among social work students. We selected a purposive sample of (145) students (fourth year), the number of males (118), females (27). The study concluded that there are no statistically significant differences between the mean scores of social work students (males and females) using social networking sites and their impact on the social dimension of intellectual security. However, there were statistically significant differences between the mean scores of social work students (males and females) using social networking sites and their impact on the religious, political and economic dimension of intellectual security. The study also indicated that there are no statistically significant differences between the mean scores of social work students (living in rural and urban areas) using social networking sites on the intellectual security scale.
SPIRE Project: Beyond the Reading Vocabulary

Since the 60s, research on emergent literacy has presented empirical evidence for the links between storybook reading to young children, parental involvement and language development. Stories, which provide children with vast opportunities to hear new words in a meaningful context subsequently lead to the acquisition of a richer mental model of both the world and vocabulary. Albeit research findings point to the strong causal links between storybook reading, literacy and language, development and parental involvement, little effort appears to be made in Malaysian’s pre-schools to capitalise on storybooks as a vehicle to literacy development and engaging the young children’s first teachers as partners for a common purpose. A structured program that builds bridges between schools and homes is lacking and researched upon. In exploring this missed opportunity, the Smart Partnership in Reading in English (SPIRE) project was piloted in a private preschool. 25 young children, their parents and the class teacher were involved in the project. The mix-mode method was adopted to gather quantitative and qualitative data. Findings show improved reading vocabulary and beyond: receptive and expressive language skills, print awareness, knowledge of grammar, meta-linguistic awareness. Implication is clear; storybooks can be a springboard to develop English literacy skills, specifically reading in English skills. Young learner providers would want to capitalise on this springboard, making learning to read more meaningful and pleasant, and less structured. A serious consideration ought to be made in involving parents (first teachers) to scaffold young learners’ literacy development. Keywords : Smart partnership in reading in english, literacy development, vocabulary development, young learners, parental involvement.
