Out of theater: Interactive Mixed-reality Performance for Intangible Culture Heritage Glove Puppetry

Traditional puppetry is popular performing art in ancient time. However, as an intangible culture heritage, the traditional puppetry is facing the problem of losing audiences. In this paper, we present an interactive mixed-reality performance for intangible culture heritage glove puppetry. In details, we setup the performance in an history site and adopt the glove puppet performance robot to conduct the performance. Along with the interaction of professional puppeteers, audiences and the robot, the performance brings people with immersive performance experience. The mixed-reality interactions guide audiences to participate into the performance, and stir their interest in intangible culture heritage. We implemented our performance in four cases, and analyzed the immersive and interactive factors of our experiments. We hope our work can provide insights for designing culture heritage related mixed reality interactions.

High Integrity Localization of Intelligent Vehicles with Student's t Filtering and Fault Exclusion

High-integrity localization is a key element for safety-critical applications like autonomous driving. The navigation filter plays a crucial role in merging sensor data to estimate an accurate pose and calculate a confidence interval based on task requirements. This paper presents an end-to-end Student's <tex xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">$\mathbf{t}$</tex> information filter for accurate data fusion and non-pessimistic confidence domain computation. The filter incorporates a Fault Detection and Exclusion stage based on the Kullback-Leibler Divergence. The degree of freedom of the <tex xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">$\mathbf{t}$</tex> distribution shapes the heavy tail to make the estimation process more robust against non detected outliers. We show that the adjustment of the degree of freedom can be done in real time using measurement residuals which give an indirect vision of the environment complexity. The accuracy and integrity of the proposed approach are evaluated with real data acquired with an experimental vehicle using GPS and Galileo pseudoranges merged with camera measurements after a map matching step with a High-Definition map. A comparative study with other classical methods based on Kalman filtering is also reported.
SAFE: Saliency-Aware Counterfactual Explanations for DNN-based Automated Driving Systems

The explainability of Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) has recently gained significant importance especially in safety-critical applications such as automated/autonomous vehicles, a.k.a. automated driving systems. CounterFactual (CF) explanations have emerged as a promising approach for interpreting the behaviour of black-box DNNs. A CF explainer identifies the minimum modifications in the input that would alter the model's output to its complement. In other words, it computes the minimum modifications required to cross the model's decision boundary. Current deep generative CF models often work with user-selected features rather than focusing on the discriminative features of the black-box model. Consequently, such CF examples may not necessarily lie near the decision boundary, thereby contradicting the definition of CFs. To address this issue, we propose in this paper a novel approach that leverages saliency maps to generate more informative CF explanations. Our approach guides a Generative Adversarial Network based on the most influential features of the input of the black-box model to produce CFs near the decision boundary. We evaluate the performance using a real-world dataset of driving scenes, BDD100k, and demonstrate its superiority over several baseline methods in terms of well-known CF metrics, including proximity, sparsity and validity. Our work contributes to the ongoing efforts to improve the interpretability of DNNs and provides a promising direction for generating more accurate and informative CF explanations.

Los puertorriqueños se les está cayendo la “a”

Abstract This study addresses a gap in the extensive literature on Spanish indirect objects by offering a study of unmarked datives (i.e., Ø eso le pones un papel de aluminio ‘ to that you put an aluminum foil’; PRESEEA 2001 ). Analyzed are the linguistic constraints on the variable absence of dative marker a ‘to’ in corpora of spoken Puerto Rican Spanish, in which the rate of marker absence is 33% ( n = 380). Results of logistic regression analysis reveal that unmarked datives occurred with low frequency, non-prototypical dative verbs. Inanimate referents favored the absence of the dative marker, as did complex DPs, where the dative phrase and the clitic pronoun+verb are not adjacent. The findings are discussed from the twin perspectives of analogy as a mechanism of change and frequency effects: unmarked datives seem to most affect items at the margins of the dative category, in terms of both verbs and referents.
Verified vintages: Leveraging blockchain to stop wine fraud

Wine fraud and counterfeiting is a problem that spans from entry level wines to cult bottles. It poses significant challenges such as impacting consumer trust and causing financial losses. The study explores potential blockchain-based applications used to prevent wine fraud. Responding to the research questions regarding how blockchain technology can help prevent wine fraud and what potential benefits and limitations may exist in this context, we performed a literature review and conducted an exploratory use case analysis of over 100 solutions. Our findings unveiled that only a few operationalized use cases exist. These are predominantly based on non-fungible tokens (NFTs), which are employed for verification of authenticity purposes. We also found that the adoption is at an early stage. While the benefits of using blockchain are promising, further research should be performed to address its potential limitations within the organizational, technical, as well as legal and regulatory realms.
Introducing teenage students of the children's art school to self-education

Based on the analysis of psychological and pedagogical literature, the relevance of the study of the problem of introducing adolescent students of the department of fine arts of the children's school of arts to self-education is substantiated. The article presents the theoretical and methodological foundations of the study, the results of the analysis of scientific papers that reveal the concept of «self-education», the essence of the phenomenon being studied and illuminating the experience of organizing self-education of students, the age characteristics of modern adolescents and the types of hobbies of adolescent students of the children's art school (intellectual, aesthetic, egocentric; hobbies of the bodily–manual type, informative and communicative) highlighted by the authors are characterized as prerequisites for their self-education. The authors have concretized the scientific content of the concept of «introducing adolescents to self-education», interpreted in the work as the inclusion of a student in a conscious activity aimed at self-knowledge, self-change associated with the development of their own strengths and abilities in accordance with beliefs and independently set goals for the benefit of themselves, society and the state. The results of an empirical study conducted by the authors of the process of introducing adolescent students of the department of fine arts of children's school of arts to self–education during the study of the discipline «Composition» are presented, and the methods of such research are characterized. In accordance with the purpose of the study, the structure of the teacher's activity to introduce adolescents to self-education is substantiated and experimentally verified (using the example of the implementation of the discipline program «Composition» as a process of solving pedagogical tasks, including a preparatory stage, which involves the nomination of a goal; initial diagnosis, forecasting of performance results, development of the content of the program for introducing students to self-education; the main or constructive transformative stage, including the implementation of the program in the process of pedagogical interaction, intermediate control of the results of work with pupils, organization of reflection of students; and the control and evaluation stage, the content of which includes the final control of the work carried out, evaluation and analysis of effectiveness pedagogical interaction, correction of the teacher's activity); technologies and teaching methods (information and communication technologies, the «inverted classroom» learning model and art pedagogical methods) have been identified and tested, which have the greatest impact on changes in adolescents' understanding of the meaning of self-education and knowledge about it; on the adequacy of students' self-assessment of artistic and creative skills; on the development of adolescents' desire for self-education.
The content of the motivational-evaluative component of the value attitude of cadets towards a person as a subject of pedagogical reflection

The article indicates the relevance of the problem of forming the value attitude of cadets of the law school of the Federal Penitentiary Service of Russia towards a person as a personal education that has a structure that includes cognitive, motivational-evaluative, emotional and activity components. The content of the motivational-evaluative component of the value attitude of a law school cadet of the Federal Penitentiary Service of Russia towards a person is substantiated as a set of values that take the form of motives for the implementation of the cadet’s value attitude towards a person and serve as criteria for assessing such an attitude. It is argued that the grounds for choosing values that form the content of the motivational-evaluative component of the cadet’s value attitude towards a person are, firstly, the orientation of the value towards another person; secondly, the requirements for an employee of the penal system, reflected in the Code of Ethics and Official Conduct of employees and federal civil servants of the penal system. The values that form the content of the motivational-evaluative component of the value attitude of cadets towards a person are identified: «goodness», «trust», «duty», «dignity», «mercy», «responsibility», «conscience», «justice», «benefit», «tolerance», «respect for another person», «honor». The characterization of these values is carried out in the context of the official activity of a penitentiary system employee, for the implementation of which cadets are being trained at the law school of the Federal Penitentiary Service of Russia.
Formation of mediation competence among secondary school students while teaching French

Mediative competence defines the relevant skills of interaction, mediation and cooperation, which is important in the modern world due to international integration and globalization. However, insufficient attention is paid to it in the Russian methodology and the education system as a whole. There are no tasks for the development of mediation competence in French textbooks for secondary schools. The article examines the essence of the concept of «mediative competence», as well as the pecularities of its development while teaching schoolchildren. The article presents the author's set of mediative exercises. The methodological basis of the experimental research was the theoretical provisions of the development of mediative competence through interactive technologies. The study was conducted from November 2022 to January 2023 in the form of experimental lessons/parts of French lessons in the 8th grade of Petrozavodsk gimnasium № 17. 20 students took part in the experiment. The results of the study demonstrate the presence of positive dynamics in the development of mediative competence of students of the experimental group. According to the results of the study, it can be concluded that little attention is paid to the development of mediative competence in Russian schools. It is necessary to introduce more tasks for the formation of mediative competence into the learning process and ensure that they are performed on a regular basis.
Artificial Intelligence — a New Form of Using Special Knowledge in Investigating and Solving Cybercrimes

The number of cybercrimes has grown considerably in recent years and now poses a serious threat for the national security of states, information systems and personal data of citizens. The reasons for this considerable increase in cybercrime are the change of global policy, the special military operation, and the restrictions connected with the COVID-19 pandemic. The authors examine the importance of using special knowledge and artificial intelligence (AI) in the investigation of cybercrimes. They research the concept of a cybercrime, and analyze the ideas of scholars on strengthening the counteraction to such criminal activities, which have been spreading rapidly in recent years. The authors conclude that cybercrimes are understood as socially dangerous unlawful behavior, carried out with the use of information technologies and inflicting considerable damage on the economic and reputational interests of people, organizations and the state. They present a classification of the most common types of cybercrimes and key methods of carrying them out. They also analyze the research discussion on the contents of special knowledge, which allows the authors to conclude that in modern legal conditions AI, being a new form of special knowledge, requires a new understanding in view of the use of this knowledge in criminal proceedings. Taking into consideration that this format includes machine self-learning, neural networks, evolutionary algorithms, etc., the authors attempt to outline how they can be used for solving complex criminalistic tasks that require a preliminary analysis of large volumes of forensically relevant information, identification of images and regularities, and argumentation of making organizational-procedural decisions. The authors examine the cyberspheres where special technical knowledge is used, such as cybersecurity, computer architecture, reverse engineering, digital forensics, system administration. AI has a tremendous potential for the modern criminal process, its use will make it possible to enhance the effectiveness of investigatory work as it will considerably improve the speed and effectiveness of procedural actions and pre-court proceedings for criminal cases in general. It is, however, necessary to take into account the existing risks and limitations connected with its use in court-investigative practice. The authors conclude that in order to ensure the adequate use of opportunities offered by AI in the criminal process, it is necessary to develop ethical and legal principles of its inclusion in the sphere of special knowledge used in criminal court proceedings for acquiring forensic evidence on criminal cases.
Pluralization of the Impersonal Verb <i>Haber</i> on Twitter

The pluralization of the existential haber verb is prevalent in Caracas, Venezuela. The present study provides insights into this variant on Twitter, a novel source for this research. Data consisted of 1,157 Caracas tweets published between June 2018 and June 2021. The binomial logistic regression revealed a decrease of 21.68 percentage points in pluralization rates. Tense and mood with the imperfect and the present perfect conditioned the use of plural forms while the preterit level, the affirmative clause, and the argument’s frequency conditioned singular forms’ use. The results support the stabilization of linguistic change and the variability of the phenomenon. Due to the imperfect and the present perfect still being the only two plural tenses, linguistic change is stabilized. Furthermore, pluralization proved a variable phenomenon the rates of which depend on the corpus style (oral vs. written) and, if written, whether it is informal or edited (or a combination). The Twitter corpus yielded lower rates than interview corpora and higher than a source comprising magazines, newspapers, and film scripts. Finally, the present study does not probably reflect Caracas’ total pluralization rate due to the possibly reduced number of speakers with lower socioeconomic status who produce more plural haber forms than those with higher socioeconomic status.

A string representation is extracted from binary micro-calcification segmentation images. We extracted two different features from the strings and combined different machine learning techniques towards benign versus malignant classification. We evaluated our proposed method on the DDSM database and experimental results indicates a Classification Accuracy equal to 92%.
Stakeholders as a Factor of Quality Professional Training of Future Teachers

The article reveals the forms of extracurricular work of university students to ensure the cooperation of the graduation department with stakeholders. Extracurricular work with the participation of community representatives and stakeholders performs educational, regulatory, corrective, communicative, compensatory, evaluation and correction functions. The experience of the Department of Pedagogy and Education of the Mariupol State University regarding the organization of cooperation with representatives of the Mariupol community and stakeholders of the educational program “Primary Education” at the bachelor’s and master’s levels is described. The work is carried out in the direction of attracting external stakeholders (representatives of the Department of Education of the Mariupol City Council and the Centre for Career Development, heads and deputy heads of the city’s educational institutions, primary school teachers) and internal stakeholders (students of higher education) to participate in the scientific and methodological seminar “Pedagogical workshop of the future specialist”. The experience of reviewing and examining student scientific reports and presentations by stakeholders, presented within the framework of the seminar, is described. Emphasis is placed on the fact that such an examination provides a comprehensive impact on the motivational, intellectual, emotional and activity spheres of students. Based on the expertise, stakeholders formulate conclusions regarding the degree of readiness of future primary school teachers for pedagogical activity, the relevance and practical significance of qualification works in the speciality “primary education”; offer recommendations for improving educational and professional programs. An example of one of the seminar programs, which includes a pedagogical assembly and discussion platforms on the subject of student presentations, is given in the article. The analysis of the experience of conducting the ongoing scientific and methodological seminar “Pedagogical workshop of the future specialist” allowed us to draw a conclusion about its effectiveness as an active form of extracurricular work and a means of involving stakeholders in the process of ensuring high-quality professional training of specialists.
To the Problem of Improving the Education of Industrial Design Specialists in Ukraine

New world challenges increasingly require designers to solve social problems of humanity, so designers are entrusted with increasingly complex and impressive tasks. However, the modern system of design education does not always prepare students for these tasks. This article analyses how the educational process of training designers in European countries is built.&#x0D; The realities of the development of industrial design in Spain and Ukraine are given, with an immersion in the historical prerequisites for the formation of this field of activity. The development of industrial design in countries is demonstrated, taking into account historical, economic and political prerequisites. The training programs were considered and the content of the training of industrial design engineers in Spain and the content of the training of industrial design specialists in Ukraine were compared. In the process of studying the training programs, significant differences in the understanding of the field of activity and the content of the training of industrial designers in Ukraine and Spain were revealed. This fact is reflected in the demand of students to study in the relevant training programs.&#x0D; In order to demonstrate the shortage of industrial design engineers in the production sector of industry, the labour market requirements for these specialists in Ukraine are given. According to the results of the analysis, the inconsistency of the training content of industrial designers with the requirements of the labour market was demonstrated both at the legislative level and at the level of employers’ requirements&#x0D; In order to meet the needs of industry and bring Ukrainian education to European requirements, it is proposed to introduce a new interdisciplinary educational program for training engineers in industrial design in Ukraine, taking into account the experience of the Spanish School of Industrial Design, which has incorporated the best English and European practices.&#x0D; It should contain two main focuses of training: engineering and aesthetics. At the same time, business awareness and environmental awareness when making decisions should become a mandatory component of the training of industrial design engineers.
