A temporal encoding method based on expansion representation

Temporal encoding of visual stimulus based on the spiking neural networks is important and challenging. Inspired by the representation of neuron population in the sensory pathway, we propose a new hierarchical encoding method, which amplifies the difference among spike trains through the synaptic projection matrix and leaves the top neurons keeping active by a winner-take-all scheme. Finally, the neurons are assigned to positive and negative subthreshold membrane oscillation to fire new spike trains. In the optical character recognition task, we compare the readout performance of the proposed encoding method and the phase encoding method. When the image is severely destroyed, for example, at 25% noise, our method still maintains 88% recognition accuracy, which is 30% higher than the accuracy of phase encoding. The robustness of readout neurons to perform recognition tasks is enhanced through the proposed encoding method. We performed the benchmark two-class classification experiment on Caltech 101 dataset, and the accuracy can reach 99.4%, which is 17% higher than the phase encoding. Compared with the other spiking deep neural network, our method also shows great improvement and strong scalability.

Computer-Aided Detection Systems for Digital Mammography

Mammography is the typical diagnostic test for early detection of breast cancer. The presence of microcalcifications and masses in the images may be an indicator of the disease. The microcalcifications size is very small, so, in many cases, they are not visible from medical images by radiologists. On the other hand, masses can be also undetectable if image contrast is not good enough. The computer-aided detection (CAD) systems are useful tools in facilitating the physician´s diagnosis. The CAD system proposed in this work is aimed at improving image quality based on image processing. On these improved images, it segments the mammary gland and highlights the presence of microcalcifications and masses. The system improves image contrast by means of convolution filters, it also eliminates artifacts by means of morphological opening and closing and Laplacian filtering, and uses entropy-based methods for segmentation of the gland and morphological filtering and histogram readjustment to enhance microcalcifications in the image. Masses are detected using an iterative contrast increase method. The system was tested with an annotated database (DB) MIAS, in oblique lateral views of glandular, glandular-dense and predominantly adipose breasts, which included images of malignant and benign lesions and other breast images without them. The system was evaluated with respect to the DB annotation, for a sample of 115 images. The performance of the system revealed a sensitivity of 93.2%, a specificity of 85.3%, a precision of 90.4% and an accuracy of 92%.
A Better Method for Evaluating Learning Performance Based on Information Entropy and Dynamic Accumulation Level

In general, most of the learning assessment measures students' learning effectiveness by arithmetic average score or weighted average score.Although the assessment process is simple and easy to understand, it is not flexible and tends to ignore the real situation in the learning process.Therefore, it is unable to effectively describe whether progress, regression or grade distribution is stable in the learning process.This study puts forward "dynamic accumulation level" for learning evaluation, calculates the dynamic accumulation of the examination results through exponential smoothing method, and introduces "information entropy" to measure students' learning stability and learning level.Moreover, this paper promotes the thesis of dynamic stability evaluation method, which analyzes more realistically and precisely on students' learning condition and performance.With the dynamic stability evaluation method, teachers may timely adjust their teaching skills and counsel students in a more effective way to enhance the quality of learning.
A novel particle swarm optimisation with search space tuning parameter to avoid premature convergence

Particle swarm optimisation is a trendy optimisation technique that is inhaled from the space navigational intelligence of birds. The optimisation technique is popular among the researchers for several decades because of the fact that it is inspired by the zonal and universal best members in all the generations. The optimisation by PSO is found better than few other optimisation techniques, in several trials with the optimisation of the mathematical benchmarks and real-time applications. But the more-than-modest orientation style of the algorithm often leads the population to premature convergence. Inertia weight parameter is used to tune the explorability of the population. In this paper, a zonal monitor (based on success in the recent iterations)-based inertia weight tuning is redressed by including universal monitors (based on the success with a universal fitness perspective). The proposed algorithm excels the conventional PSO, the PSO with zonal monitors alone. The inertia weight of the PSO with zonal monitor is also not dynamic whereas the proposed PSO's inertia weight are found to be more dynamic with tuning the explore ability with regard to zonal and universal context of fitness.
The Implementation of Match Words Game in Teaching English Vocabulary For The Students at SMP Penda Tawangmangu

This descriptive study aims to describe the implementation of using match words game in teaching English vocabulary for the students at SMP Penda Tawangmangu. The problem in this study focuses on the games used, the vocabulary teaching process, then the problems faced by teachers and students, and problem solving by the teacher. Games are tools that make it easy for children to learn new things. The students very enjoyed learning while playing. The author takes the students from seventh grade (VII A) and eighth grade (VIII D) students as research subjects. Data is taken from classroom observations and interviews with students. The researcher acts as a teacher in implementing match words games. Based on the research findings, it can be concluded that the problem faced by teacher in teaching vocabulary is that the class is not conducive and the problem faced by students is the lack of vocabulary they know, making students difficult when carrying out the game. Problem solving applied by the teacher in teaching vocabulary is to create a good relationship between teacher and student. The teacher admonishes students smoothly and patiently in dealing with student behavior. The teacher collaborates the teaching and learning process with the game and must be calm to teach vocabulary one by one from easy material. The use of games can increase students' motivation and interest in learning new vocabulary. The students also give positive views about teachers’ teaching vocabulary though match words game

Leadership and Education for National Security.

This paper attempts to explain the influence of leadership and Education on national security. Leadership is a vital phenomenon in the life of any nation or organization. When a leader is focus, proactive progress minded and security conscious, the subjects enjoy lasting peace and harmony as well as security and progress. The saying that “when the righteous is on the throne, the people rejoice” is a well thought out proposition which also applies in the case of a good leader. Education on the other hand provides opportunity for individuals to take their rightful places in the society due to its transformative power. knowledge, skills values, believes and habit so acquired help individuals to improve their living standard and be self dependent thereby reducing unemployment and its attendant negative consequences on national security Nelson Mandella put it succinctly when he stated that Education is the most powerful tool which can be used to change the world. Denmark, Ireland, New Zealand and Finland provide Education as a common good and used it to achieve not only the Nations‟ social needs but also political, moral and economic aspirations as they also inculcate in their citizens the necessary knowledge skills, dexterity, Character and desirable virtues that foster self actualization, national development and security. These countries especially Finland with 100% literacy rate unarguably have one of the best standard of living and the least crime rate in the world. Therefore good leadership and sound, accessible and functional Educational system of a country have strong correlation with a nations economy and security situation. A strong economy anchored on good leadership and Education reduces unemployment, general crime rate, promote patriotism and guarantee national, regional and international security.
