NeRF-In: Free-Form NeRF Inpainting with RGB-D Priors

Though Neural Radiance Field (NeRF) demonstrates compelling novel view synthesis results, it is still unintuitive to edit a pre-trained NeRF because the neural network's parameters and the scene geometry/appearance are often not explicitly associated. In this paper, we introduce the first framework that enables users to remove unwanted objects or retouch undesired regions in a 3D scene represented by a pre-trained NeRF without any category-specific data and training. The user first draws a free-form mask to specify a region containing unwanted objects over a rendered view from the pre-trained NeRF. Our framework first transfers the user-provided mask to other rendered views and estimates guiding color and depth images within these transferred masked regions. Next, we formulate an optimization problem that jointly inpaints the image content in all masked regions across multiple views by updating the NeRF model's parameters. We demonstrate our framework on diverse scenes and show it obtained visual plausible and structurally consistent results across multiple views using shorter time and less user manual efforts.
An Image Processing Pipeline for Camera Trap Time-Lapse Recordings

This pipeline includes machine learning models to assist human-in-the-loop video segmentation and animal re-identification. We present some performance results and observations on the utility of this pipeline after using it in a year-long project studying the spatial ecology and social behavior of the gopher tortoise.
Out of Sight, Out of Mind: A Source-View-Wise Feature Aggregation for Multi-View Image-Based Rendering

To estimate the volume density and color of a 3D point in the multi-view image-based rendering, a common approach is to inspect the consensus existence among the given source image features, which is one of the informative cues for the estimation procedure. To this end, most of the previous methods utilize equally-weighted aggregation features. However, this could make it hard to check the consensus existence when some outliers, which frequently occur by occlusions, are included in the source image feature set. In this paper, we propose a novel source-view-wise feature aggregation method, which facilitates us to find out the consensus in a robust way by leveraging local structures in the feature set. We first calculate the source-view-wise distance distribution for each source feature for the proposed aggregation. After that, the distance distribution is converted to several similarity distributions with the proposed learnable similarity mapping functions. Finally, for each element in the feature set, the aggregation features are extracted by calculating the weighted means and variances, where the weights are derived from the similarity distributions. In experiments, we validate the proposed method on various benchmark datasets, including synthetic and real image scenes. The experimental results demonstrate that incorporating the proposed features improves the performance by a large margin, resulting in the state-of-the-art performance.
STUDENTS’ PERCEPTIONS ON THE USE OF BAHASA AND ENGLISH IN CLASSROOM: A CASE STUDY IN ONE SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL IN MEDAN

This research was aimed to explore students’ perceptions on the use of language in EFL classroom. Researcher conducted this study in One Senior High School Medan. There were four twelfth graders participated in this study. Case study qualitative research was used in this study. Researcher collected the data through semi-structured interview and used interview protocol as the guideline. There were three major findings which categorized into themes such as 1) Students’ preferences on the use of Bahasa and English in EFL classroom, 2) Students’ perceptions on the language used in EFL classroom, and 3) Students’ expectations for the language choices in EFL classroom. From the findings, researcher found students’ perceptions on the use of language in classroom including their point of view and their expectations from their EFL teachers. Students prefered to use English fully, some wanted to use Bahasa because the lesson could be more comprehensible if the language used was in their own native language, and some expected that their EFL teachers could mix the language between Bahasa and English in the class.
CONDITIONS OF EFFECTIVENESS OF PEDAGOGICAL INTERACTION IN TEACHER-STUDENT RELATIONS SYSTEM

The article deals with the problem of pedagogical effectiveness conditions for interrelations of a lecturer and students under conditions of a higher pedagogical school
SOME FACTS ABOUT STUDENTS’ ASSESSMENT SYSTEM//Social Sciences: Achievements and Prospects Journal 1(14), 2022 (ISSN 2733-3825)/ Chief Editor Vitalii Vl. Klevtsov /OEAPS OU - Tallinn, Estonia (Open European Academy of Public Sciences): Berlin, Germany, 30.04.2022: OEAPS OU., 2022 - P. 72-76.

Previously, while studying at the university, a student could theoretically not show up for classes, but come to the exam, answer questions brilliantly and leave with an excellent mark in the credit book. This is roughly what the traditional knowledge assessment system looked like, with special attention paid to the «control point» — the session. Of course, it was difficult to cope with the session without deep immersion in the subject, so for the sake of cherished marks and high-quality knowledge, we had to work during the academic half-year, answer seminars, perform laboratory and test work, but the results of the session were of primary importance. At some point, it was decided that such a system does not meet the requirements for the quality of education and does not encourage students to work systematically and daily, which means that a new approach is needed. This was the point-rating system for evaluating student performance.
THE RESEARCH INTO ACME-FEATURES OF PRODUCTIVE SCIENTIFIC AND PEDAGOGICAL ACTIVITY OF HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS TEACHERS

The article presents the results of a study of the features of productive scientific and pedagogical activities of higher education institutions teachers. The research has been conducted on the basis of acmeological approach. The analysis of scientific and pedagogical activities of the teachers has been made being based on the study of scientific works and the selection of appropriate criteria (goal-motivational, cognitive, activities, communicative, reflective-productive ones). The three levels of their productivity are differentiated. The highly productive level is characterized by such aspects: teachers' scientific orientation, the interest in scientific knowledge, the constant need to generate new ideas, high-level research knowledge and skills, the desire for continuous self-development, high level of research competence. The productive level is characterized by such aspects: teachers' inherent need to acquire value-oriented innovative knowledge, pertinent skills, continuous self-improvement, significant effectiveness of scientific and pedagogical activities. Ineffective teachers are characterized by such aspects as low motivation and lack of interest in scientific research, low efficiency of scientific activity. The dependence of the motives for further scientific and pedagogical activity on the level of teachers' productivity has been proved in the process of the research of their acme-peculiarities. It has been proved that it is the creative nature of teachers' activity that allows to realize both their own natural potential and the natural talents of young researchers. Thus, the study of acme-features of productive scientific and pedagogical activities of the teachers of higher education has shown that a set of activating factors of motivation, satisfaction and research competence determine the creative orientation of teachers, their desire to reach the acme-pinnacles.

Public Library Digital Competency Mapping 2019: A Survey on Digital Skills of Library Professionals With Different Qualifications

Social science researchers rarely can repeat a representative empirical study on an essentially identical sample in a relatively short time; to confirm the validity or, on the contrary, the invalidity of initial results. In the framework of the EFOP-3.3.3-VEKOP-16-2016-00001 “Museum and Library Development for All” grant scheme in Hungary, the flagship project “My Library,” implemented under the auspices of the Szabó Ervin Library in Budapest, allowed for two surveys to be conducted 2 years apart to assess the digital competence status of library professionals working in public libraries. This study seeks to answer the question of the impact of different educational levels on digital competence levels. Furthermore, it asks whether the results of the 2019 survey confirm the finding from 2017 that a higher education librarian degree, the librarian diploma, has a strong competence-increasing effect on each of the digital competence areas. Both studies are representative of the Hungarian public library sector. In the 2017 survey, 1,786 library professionals from different municipal libraries participated and in the 2019 survey, 1,868. As a result of the survey, an extremely rich data set is available, which allows for an accurate understanding of the digital skills of library professionals and the identification of areas for improvement or even the organization of targeted professional training.
Dynaplex: Inferring Asymptotic Runtime Complexity of Recursive Programs

Automated runtime complexity analysis can help developers detect egregious performance issues. Existing runtime complexity analysis are often done for imperative programs using static analyses. In this demo paper, we demonstrate the implementation and usage of Dynaplex, a dynamic analysis tool that computes the asymptotic runtime complexity of recursive programs. Dynaplex infers recurrence relations from execution traces and solve them for a closed-form complexity bound. Experimental results show that Dynaplex can infer a wide range of complexity bounds (eg: logarithmic, polynomial, exponential, non-polynomial) with great precision (eg: $O\left({{n^{{{\log }_2}3}}}\right)$ for karatsuba). A video demonstration of Dynaplex usage is available at https://youtu.be/t7dhwZ7fbVs

Neuromorphic photonic computing based on wavelength-division multiplexing

Optical neural networks (ONNs), or optical neuromorphic hardware accelerators, have the potential to dramatically enhance the computing power and energy efficiency of mainstream electronic processors, due to their ultra-large bandwidths of up to 10’s of terahertz together with their analog architecture that avoids the need for reading and writing data back-and-forth. Different multiplexing techniques have been demonstrated to demonstrate ONNs, amongst which wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) techniques make sufficient use of the unique advantages of optics in terms of broad bandwidths. Here, we review recent advances in WDM-based ONNs, focusing on methods that use integrated microcombs to implement ONNs. We present results for human image processing using an optical convolution accelerator operating at 11 Tera operations per second. The open challenges and limitations of ONNs that need to be addressed for future applications are also discussed.
Sistem Pakar Mendiagnosa Gangguan Mental pada Diri Seseorang Mengunakan Metode Certainty Factor

People with mental disorders are very much starting in Indonesia, the results of health research in 2015, 1,193,151 people or 0.467% of the population who suffer from mental disorders. This mental disorder disease should not be silenced anymore, must be followed up or minimized in order to improve health conditions in Indonesia. The poverty rate in Indonesia until now is still relatively high and makes it difficult for people to deal with mental disorders. As for minimizing the handling of this mental disorder, it is very suitable to build an expert system using the certainty factor method, which is a method that defines a measure of capacity for a fact or rule, in expressing the level of confidence of an expert on a problem that is being faced by a patient or sufferer and can also be used as a benchmark of the results of the diagnosis of a disease suffered. By making this expert system, it can be useful for many people and can know clearly about mental disorders from symptoms and solutions based on a website and using PHP programming with a MySQL database. The results of the study using the certainty factor method with tests that have been carried out by the user or users are that the type of mental disorder suffered is the type of schizophrenia with a 56% certainty rate.&#x0D;
Decision Support System for High School Entrance Selection

Currently, when going to high school, a selection will be made to select students based on zoning alone. Admissions using zoning are very detrimental to students who are outside the zoning but have better grades. Schools also want to have quality students however, the existence of government regulations makes it a trick if only zoning is used as a reference. The existence of a decision support system using the SAW method helps to make alternatives by having several criteria that are used as a benchmark when making a decision. In making this decision support system can display the results of student rankings based on SAW calculations and the development method using waterfalls and making this system web-based using PHP MySQL and HTML.This research produced a decision support system that can help make it easier for schools to determine the selection of new students based on the existing zoning system and produce rankings. The results of testing accuracy increased from 56% to 100%.

Racial Discrimination in Novel We Cast A Shadow (2019) by Maurice Carlos Ruffin

AbstractThis study is aimed to seek how far the novel of We Cast A Shadow (2019) by Maurice Carlos Ruffin reflected the issues of racial discrimination. Racial discrimination refers to the character who face discrimination through mistreatment and violence that make a great impact in the future. The unnamed character had been through a difficult time since he was a child. This analysis is related to the postcolonial theory proposed by Pieterse and Powell (2016). The use of theory was based on the interpretation in the text and context of the novel. The data was collected from the quotation in the novel. The data collection was in the form of sentences and paragraphs. This research was a descriptive and content analysis study. The result of the study shows that the racial discrimination of African-American character can be seen through violence to African-American and arbitrary Policy on Economic Aspect. In conclusion, in this post-civil rights movement era, African-Americans still face racial discrimination.

Media for Teaching English to Children with Mental Retardation

Teaching English for children with mental retardation of course is a challenging experience. Even for the professional teacher, it is a challenge to teach English for children with mental retardation. This become an issue that teacher must provide good explanation especially the media. Media is considered as an important thing when teacher teach. The writer noticed this when I had an observation in SLB (School for Children with Special Need) Aisyiyah Tulangan. The observation conducted on 17, 18, 24 November and 1 &amp; 2 December 2021. Observations were carried out in the special SMPLB class for mentally retarded children. SLB Aisyiyah Tulangan still lacks of media for learning, especially for English. As previously stated, English is a local content which is not taught in schools every day. The school also does not have a special module for learning English. English is only taught when the teacher wants to teach English, the rest of the teachers are free to provide any material for students. The module for students is only limited to practice questions that are made independently by the teacher according to the existing curriculum, there are no supporting books such as textbooks for students. This is the weakness for this school, the lack of support from the school foundation to support learning in schools, even though the teachers have given their best for the students.
