A Study on the Technological Trends of the Fourth Industrial Revolution for the Hotel Industry and Their Effect on Business Performance

The results of this study can be summarized as follows. First, the analysis of the structural relationship between Information and Communications Technologies (ICT) and big data confirmed that ICT has a significantly positive (+) effect on all the four sub-factors of big data: cumulativity, diversity and flexibility, real-time analyticity and convergence, and understandability. Second, the structural relationship between ICT and platform was examined, and it was found that ICT has a significantly positive (+) effect on all the 3 factors of platform. Third, according to the verification of the structural relationship between big data and business performance, the real-time analyticity, convergence, and understandability of big data were found to have a positive effect on a company’s business performance— financial and non-financial performance. Fourth, the structural relationship between platform and business performance was analyzed, and it was found that only information reliability, which is a sub-factor of platform, has a significant effect on financial and non-financial performance, which are sub-factors of business performance, and that interactivity, information provision, and convenience in use do not have a significant effect on business performance.
Cross-lingual Diachronic Distance: Application to Portuguese and Spanish

The aim of this paper is to establish a corpus-based methodology for automatically measuring the cross-lingual distance between historical periods of two languages using perplexity. The corpus of both has been constructed adhoc with the closest spelling to the original representing chronologically and in a balanced way fiction and non-fiction. The methodology has been applied to two related languages, Portuguese and Spanish, and measured their diachronic distances both in original orthography and in an automatically transcribed spelling. |
A graphical language for flexible inference in robotics and vision (invited talk)

In robotics and computer vision, there are many inference problems that come down to fusing the information from many different sensors, or a small number of sensors deployed over time. Dellaert will review how these and other problems can be posed in terms of factor graphs, which provide a graphical language in which to develop and collaborate on such problems. The talk will emphasize the advantages and intuition that come with these graphical languages, leading to both offline and online sensor fusion algorithms. One of Frank Dellaert’s current research directions is exploring the use of code generation to create high-performance, certifiable code to support autonomous systems in the real world.
A Scalable Method for Quantifying the Role of Pitch in Conversational Turn-Taking

Pitch has long been held as an important signalling channel when planning and deploying speech in conversation, and myriad studies have been undertaken to determine the extent to which it actually plays this role.Unfortunately, these studies have required considerable human investment in data preparation and analysis, and have therefore often been limited to a handful of specific conversational contexts.The current article proposes a framework which addresses these limitations, by enabling a scalable, quantitative characterization of the role of pitch throughout an entire conversation, requiring only the raw signal and speech activity references.The framework is evaluated on the Switchboard dialogue corpus.Experiments indicate that pitch trajectories of both parties are predictive of their incipient speech activity; that pitch should be expressed on a logarithmic scale and Z-normalized, as well as accompanied by a binary voicing variable; and that only the most recent 400 ms of the pitch trajectory are useful in incipient speech activity prediction.
The Use of New Technologies for Mindo Birdwatching

The growing acceptance of new technologies, along with trends focused on reducing the use of paper and facilitating access to information, make mobile applications increasingly important. In order to solve current demands, we want to create an attractive way to share information and offer a tool to educate people at the same time.The main objective of this work is to provide tourists and users in general with a mobile application that provides information about the birds that inhabit the town of Mindo. This mobile application will provide multimedia content and with the use of Augmented Reality the user will be given the option to interact between the virtual objects and the environment, it also will provide the option to share this experiences with other people via social networks to enrich user experience when practicing birdwatching.To develop the prototype application, we used native android, ARCore as the AR engine, geolocation services with Google’s maps API, cloud services with Firebase to store the data and, in the mobile device, internal storage and SQLite to work offline.
To perceive or to compute? Comparison of impressionistic and computer-aided vessel shape classification based on completely preserved late Neolithic pottery of Central Europe.

Since 2016, in the SNSF-project 'Mobilities, entanglements and transformations in Neolithic societies on the Swiss Plateau (3900-3500 BC)', we have been using a computer-aided classification of vessel shapes to investigate completely preserved Neolithic pottery of Swiss wetland sites and neighbouring regions from the 4th M BC beyond classical typologies and cultural assignments. We follow a holistic approach in which the entire vessel body is understood as a rotational body. One side of the rasterized, filled and equally scaled profile is extracted, and via a simple transfer of the image information into a matrix, the profile line is converted into 400 measuring points. The profile information, enriched with nominal as well as metric values, can be evaluated using various multivariate methods. We opted for a combination of t-sne as ordination and dimension-reducing method and HDBSCAN as cluster algorithm for this analysis. This approach was accompanied by a impressionistic classification by hand. We found that both methods complement each other meaningfully: While computer-aided classification was able to work out more general, cross-cultural trends, which can be interpreted with regard to the function of the vessels and a consumer perspective, impressionistic classification leads to an identification of different styles, which rather open up a producer perspective. The juxtaposition of both methods on the same material can be used to overcome existing stereotypes in the ceramic classification. Furthermore the results also serve to identify yet unresolved shortcomings of the computer-based approach, which will be addressed in the future.
Pixel-wise infrared tone remapping for rapid adaptation to high dynamic range variations

Biological vision systems can perform target selection, pattern recognition, and dynamic range adaptation at capability levels far beyond that of human-designed methods. This paper applies a two-stage Biologically-Inspired Vision (BIV) model for image pre-processing and infrared tone remapping, derived from the visual pipeline of the hover y. The first stage performs spatially invariant, pixel-wise, intensity normalization, to intelligently compress scene dynamic range and enhance local contrasts using an adaptive gain control mechanism. The second stage of the model applies adaptive spatio-temporal filtering to reduce redundancy within image sequences. Our experiments demonstrate the strengths of the model on four practical tasks. For large targets, the model acts as a sophisticated edge extractor. The examples show the ability to retrieve the complete structure of a boat from sea clutter, increasing the global contrast factor by 165%. Secondly and thirdly, for small and weak-signature targets, segmentation is demonstrated. A filter is applied to track a 2x2 pixel dragon y without interruption, and a small maritime vessel, extracted as it passes in front of a larger vessel of similar emissivity. Finally, the power of the BIV model to rapidly compress dynamic range and normalize sudden changes in scene luminance is validated by means of incandescent pyrotechnic pellets launched from an aerial platform.
Research on Innovation of Modern Network Distance Education Model based on Web

In view of the low degree of visualisation of the current network distance education model, this paper proposes an innovative research on the modern network distance education model based on web. Firstly, the physical structure of the network distance education model is elaborated and the architecture of the network distance education model is constructed. Taking the examination of network question bank under the mode of distance education as an example, this paper designs the implementation process of the examination of network question bank, in order to realise the innovative research on the mode of network distance education. The experimental data show that the CPU time of this method is about 0.1 hours shorter than that of the traditional method and the flexibility coefficient is close to 1 when the number of users is increased by 200 at a time. This shows that the method is more flexible and intelligent.
Interoperable Health Care System Using Blockchain Technology

The need for integration is not new but it existed since applications moved from central processors to distributed systems and networks. This need has emerged as disparate Information Systems (IS) that automate business processes which run on different computer platforms and have been based on a diversity of standards, operating systems and computer languages. In healthcare, interoperability is the important because of different information systems (IS) to communicate, interchange data, and use of the exchanged information among systems. Blockchain technology can address the interoperability challenges in healthcare systems; it can help healthcare providers, healthcare stakeholders and researchers to share health data in secure way. In this paper, we have proposed a Blockchain based healthcare systems which can address the interoperability issues in healthcare in secure in transparent way.

Make Potatoes Great Again

Image matching by using keypoint detectors and descriptors is used in many image processing and computer vision tasks. While many detectors and descriptors result in accurate matching, they have difficulties on images that are blurry and out of focus like the ones obtained on the so called potato cameras. Most detectors and descriptors work on grayscale images and in this paper new grayscale channels are learned for maximizing the number of correct feature matches. In contrast to the usual grayscale channel, with the new channel the keypoints and descriptors produce up to 3% more correct matches on regular images and well over 100% more of them on low quality images without adding any additional computation cost. It is also shown how only using new channel grayscale definitions can improve the accuracy of ORB-SLAM2 without changing any of its other steps. The experimental results are presented and discussed.
Test coverage and impact analysis for detecting refactoring faults: a study on the inline method

Using refactoring techniques is known as a good practice to enhance the software quality either by decreasing the complexity or enhance the behaviour of the software. Here, we conduct a study using inline method refactoring technique to investigate the significance of this technique, in order to examine how this kind of refactoring affect the coverage of the test suite by applying impact analysis of test coverage. We apply inline method refactoring on one package of JGAP; open source java project and make some experiments. The results show the inline method refactoring has essential benefit in decreasing complexity. On the other hand the results reveal that this refactoring technique has a negative impact on coverage from testing perspective.

Initial findings on the evaluation of a model-based testing tool in the test design process

Background: One way to reduce test cost is to automatise testing tasks. Model-based testing (MBT) tools use system behaviour models as inputs to automatically generate tests. In the literature, few experiments evaluate the impact of using an MBT tool in test case productivity, test coverage, and bug detection rate.Aims: This work consists of the first part of the evaluation of the impacts of using an MBT tool whose input model is based on natural language, the TaRGeT. This MBT tool uses as inputs use case models authored using natural language. We assess the effects of using an MBT tool in test case productivity (number of test steps produced per hour).Method: A quasi-experiment was carried out for evaluating test case productivity when creating functional tests manually vs the productivity when designing tests using TaRGeT. The application size and subjects experience were controlled, and the collected data statistically analysed.Results: The results show the mean productivity when using TaRGeT is 30% higher when compared to the mean productivity when designing tests manually. Despite this difference, it was not possible to detect statistical differences in productivity when using TaRGeT or not.Conclusions: We discuss possible reasons for this behaviour and other findings, moreover we present lessons learned for future experiments.
A self-organizing cascade neural network for nonlinear system modeling

This paper proposes a self-organizing cascade neural network (SCNN) for nonlinear system modeling. An objective function based on orthogonal least squares (OLS) method is proposed to select the input units and hidden units. After the new hidden unit is added to the network, its input weight remains unchanged in the subsequent training process and the output weights are updated in an incremental way. A stop criterion based on test error is proposed to select the optimal network structure. Finally, the proposed SCNN is tested on two benchmark nonlinear systems and an actual problem. The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm is efficient.
