ATFR: Attribute based Trustworthy Friend Recommendations Online

Users today relay on social networking platforms for infor-mation retrieval. Information shared on the social networks will be cir-culated through their friend sharing them on their pro les. Thus making trustworthy friends in social networks is more important to maintain data privacy. Existing system compute friends based on their mutual friends which would not be e cient way of selecting friends online [1]. This allows user to get connected with strangers without any information of real friend or fake friend. To overcome this problem attribute based trustworthy friend recommendation system is proposed. Based on this, the attributes of each user is collected during pro le creation and these attributes are subjected to similarity between the users. Each user online are evaluated with their trust score with the help of Trust Score algo-rithm. Experimental result shows the number of friends recommended are trustworthy.

Message from Conference Chair

The Second International Conference on Mobile Data Management (MDM2001) is the continuation of the First International Conference on Mobile Data Access (MDA’99), which was also held in Hong Kong. Organizing MDM2001 was a very rewarding experience for me. It gave me an excellent chance to work with many fine colleagues both inside and outside Hong Kong, and the opportunity to interact with leading companies in the mobile industry. I am thankful to Mike Franklin of UC Berkeley and John Lui of the Chinese University of Hong Kong for putting together a world-class Program Committee, which worked very hard to bring an excellent technical program to the conference. MDM2001 includes an industrial track consisting of both invited and submitted papers. I would like to thank David Cheung of the University of Hong Kong and Wang-Chien Lee of Verizon, USA, for setting the program for the industrial track. Wang-Chien, in particular, is responsible for inviting speakers from the USA. I strongly feel that the interaction between academia and industry is of particular importance in the mobile area since ideas and applications cannot be realized if they do not fit into the mobile infrastructure built by the industry. I appreciate very much the support of the Hong Kong Polytechnic University for hosting the conference, colleagues in the Department of Computing, namely, Alvin Chan, Hong Va Leong, and Allan Wong, for taking care of every fine detail in the operation of the conference, Kian-Lee Tan of the National University of Singapore for his relentless effort in collecting the manuscripts and meeting the publication deadline, Victor Lee of the City University of Hong Kong and Jeffrey Yu of the Chinese University of Hong Kong for handling the publicity of the conference, and Joseph Fong of the City University of Hong Kong for raising funds for the conference. Last but not least, the conference would not have been possible without the generous support of our industrial sponsors, which include Hutchison Telecom, Nokia (HK) Ltd., and Oracle (HK) Ltd. At the time of writing, I am still expecting a few more industrial sponsors and invited presentations in the industrial track. Those whom I cannot acknowledge here by name, I would like to thank in advance in anticipation of their support!
Assessing the Exposure of Software Changes: The DiPiDi Approach

Context: Changing a software application with many build-time configuration settings may introduce unexpected side-effects. For example, a change intended to be specific to a platform (e.g., Windows) or product configuration (e.g., community editions) might impact other platforms or configurations. Moreover, a change intended to apply to a set of platforms or configurations may be unintentionally limited to a subset. Indeed, understanding the exposure of source code changes is an important risk mitigation step in change-based development approaches. Objective: In this experiment, we seek to evaluate DiPiDi, a prototype implementation of our approach to assess the exposure of source code changes by statically analyzing build specifications. We focus our evaluation on the effectiveness and efficiency of developers when assessing the exposure of source code changes. Method: We will measure the effectiveness and efficiency of developers when performing five tasks in which they must identify the deliverable(s) and conditions under which a change will propagate. We will assign participants into three groups: without explicit tool support, supported by existing impact analysis tools, and supported by DiPiDi.
Administrator’s Weekly Checklist

Perhaps no subject in server administration is as tedious and annoying as “preventive maintenance.” After all, you aren’t actually doing anything “cool” when you do this. You aren’t creating a new service that will make your life better, and you certainly aren’t going to be recognized for all of your hard work since the whole point of the exercise is to avoid anything that would be noticed later – namely, your system going down in a metaphorical puff of smoke. So it’s probably not surprising that I sat and stared at my screen for a few moments before getting the motivation up to write these opening words. After all, how can I make this sound exciting when it isn’t? Well, perhaps by sharing stories throughout the way of times when I’ve been burned profoundly by my lack of routine maintenance. For each of the following steps, I’ll try to give you my best horror story, so that you’re motivated to break out your calendar, schedule your maintenance windows, and set those recurring to-dos to alarm if you don’t check “server maintenance” off your list on a regular basis. Grab some time for comfort, because it’s going to get scary.
DIGITAL COMPETENCES OF UNIVERSITY EDUCATORS: A COMPARISON STUDY – PART 2

The website Learn2MOOC https://learn2mooc.com/en/ was created by me to exchange professional experiences about online-learning and to measure digital competences of university educators worldwide. The following competencies were studied: 1) digital content creation; 2) communication and cooperation; 3) digital literacy. To achieve these goals (professional communication and digital competences estimation) the International Research Conference on Education and Online-Learning was held on Learn2MOOC website on December 22-23, 2020. Lectures from UK, France, Italy, South Africa, Philippines, Croatia, Lithuania and Georgia took part in the event. The results showed that 109 educators from different countries registered on the website https://learn2mooc.com/en/. It should be emphasized that the majority of educators were from Europe and from: Asia, Africa, USA, UK and Russia. The half of university educators worldwide (49,5%) have academic degree «Doctors of Philosophy» (N=109). Also, university educators have relevant work experience more than 25 years – 15,6%, 21-25 years – 23,9%, 16-20 years – 9,2%, 11-15 years – 12,8%, 6-10 years – 9,2%. Mostly educators (36%) teach humanities such as: Education, Online Learning, Foreign Language Teaching, Psychology and Linguistics. Other educators specialise in IT, Maths, Medicine, Marketing & Media and Business & Management. Most users (55%) used PC to register on the website and to take part in the survey (N=109).It should be concluded that digital and pedagogical competences of university educators worldwide are at the intermediate level. University professors showed the real interest in sharing ideas on online learning and actively participated in the mentioned International Online-Conference. Moreover, educators commented that they appreciated the collaboration, and also shared the educational ideas and acquired new information at the International Research Conference on Education and Online-Learning on the website Lear2MOOC https://learn2mooc.com/en/.
Algorithmicity of Evolutionary Algorithms

Abstract In the first part of our article we will refer the penetration of scientific terms into colloquial language, focusing on the sense in which the concept of an algorithm currently functions outside its original scope. The given examples will refer mostly to disciplines not directly related to computer science and to the colloquial language. In the next part we will also discuss the modifications made to the meaning of the term algorithm and how this concept is now understood in computer science. Finally, we will discuss the problem of algorithmicity of evolutionary algorithms, i.e. we will try to answer the question whether – and to what extent – they are still algorithms in the classical sense.
A Comparative Study of Face Recognition Classification Algorithms

Abstract Due to the different classification effects and accuracy of different classification algorithms in machine learning, it is inconvenient for scientific researchers to choose which classification algorithm to use. This paper uses the face data published by Cambridge University as an experiment. The experiment first reduces the dimensionality of the data through the principal component analysis (PCA) algorithm, extracts the main features of the data, and then respectively through linear logic classification, linear discrimination LDA, nearest neighbor algorithm KNN, support vector machine SVM and the integrated algorithm Adaboost are used for classification. By comparing the advantages and disadvantages of the classification performance and complexity of different algorithms, the final review reviews accuracy, recall, f1-score, and AUC as evaluation indicators.

Towards End-to-End Neural Face Authentication in the Wild -- Quantifying and Compensating for Directional Lighting Effects

The recent availability of low-power neural accelerator hardware, combined with improvements in end-to-end neural facial recognition algorithms provides, enabling technology for on-device facial authentication. The present research work examines the effects of directional lighting on a State-of-Art(SoA) neural face recognizer. A synthetic re-lighting technique is used to augment data samples due to the lack of public data-sets with sufficient directional lighting variations. Top lighting and its variants (top-left, top-right) are found to have minimal effect on accuracy, while bottom-left or bottom-right directional lighting has the most pronounced effects. Following the fine-tuning of network weights, the face recognition model is shown to achieve close to the original Receiver Operating Characteristic curve (ROC)performance across all lighting conditions and demonstrates an ability to generalize beyond the lighting augmentations used in the fine-tuning data-set. This work shows that an SoA neural face recognition model can be tuned to compensate for directional lighting effects, removing the need for a pre-processing step before applying facial recognition.
Hands-on Guidance for Distilling Object Detectors

Knowledge distillation can lead to deploy-friendly networks against the plagued computational complexity problem, but previous methods neglect the feature hierarchy in detectors. Motivated by this, we propose a general framework for detection distillation. Our method, called Hands-on Guidance Distillation, distills the latent knowledge of all stage features for imposing more comprehensive supervision, and focuses on the essence simultaneously for promoting more intense knowledge absorption. Specifically, a series of novel mechanisms are designed elaborately, including correspondence establishment for consistency, hands-on imitation loss measure and re-weighted optimization from both micro and macro perspectives. We conduct extensive evaluations with different distillation configurations over VOC and COCO datasets, which show better performance on accuracy and speed trade-offs. Meanwhile, feasibility experiments on different structural networks further prove the robustness of our HGD.
FEATURES OF THE APPLICATION OF GAME TECHNOLOGIES DURING SOCIAL STUDIES LESSONS AT SCHOOL

The article focuses on the problems of teaching social studies at high school. The author tries to actualize the use of gaming technologies during lessons. The aim of the study is to determine the effectiveness of the game in teaching social studies to schoolchildren. During social studies lessons, it is necessary to use various teaching methods, one of which is the game. Thanks to the game, the theoretical knowledge gained during the lesson will be much better assimilated by students. Also, thanks to game technologies, it is possible to solve the problem of educational motivation of schoolchildren; it will be interesting for any student to participate in a game. Play activity today is of great importance in the development and education of the individual, as it gives each child an opportunity to feel themselves as a subject of a certain type of activity, to express themselves, to form thier own abilities. During the game, an intellectually passive student can perform such a volume of work that is completely inaccessible to them in a traditional educational situation. In scientific and other pedagogical studies related to play activities, one can find the concept of an "emotional accelerator" of learning. In addition to theoretical research, the article describes a pedagogical experiment, in which 20 students of 10th grades took part. The article says that using various play forms and methods it is possible to alternate between “serious” and “frivolous” work, and thereby ensure sustained attention to the studied material in the classroom, and the study of the course “Social Studies” at high school is a vital necessity. It is important to provide quality education using various active methods and techniques, in particular, using the form of business games.
Learners’ Perspective on Online Classes in ‘Vocational Courses’ in Specific to ‘Hotel Management’

As we are stepping into ‘new normal’ world, taking online sessions is becoming a part of lecturers’ life. Knowing the fact that the classroom teaching and online teaching are far apart from each other, we should also consider the student absorption and degree of their acceptance. This research is aimed to learn the students view point on online learning specifically in hotel management which is a vocational course. I choose quantitative research methodology as my sample size is going to be comparatively large. My sample consists of students pursuing hotel & hospitality related courses offered by various institutes/universities across India. The data has been collected through online questionnaire. The results show a scattered opinion of students on online learning. After analyzing the result, I can conclude that the learners of hospitality courses are not completely ready for online learning, though they are positively welcoming the change.

Analytic Non-Labelled Proof-Systems for Hybrid Logic: Overview and a couple of striking facts

This paper is about non-labelled proof-systems for hybrid logic, that is, proofsystems where arbitrary formulas can occur, not just satisfaction statements. We give an overview of such proof-systems, focusing on analytic systems: Natural deduction systems, Gentzen sequent systems and tableau systems. We point out major results and we discuss a couple of striking facts, in particular that nonlabelled hybrid-logical natural deduction systems are analytic, but this is not proved in the usual way via step-by-step normalization of derivations.

The process of cognition of the surrounding world by primary school students and the balance of the laws of scientific knowledge

The article examines the features of the development of mental processes in primary schoolchildren and how they manifest themselves in the knowledge and understanding of nature, thereby allowing their minds to be filled with information about the world or look at it differently and anticipate it. According to studies of scientific knowledge of the world, mental processes form the basis of the psyche, consciousness, personality of a person. In science, mental processes are a dynamic reflection of reality: emotions, perception, memory, thinking, imagination, emotions that provide a reflection of the surrounding world, the formation of knowledge and skills, life experience and activities.
MT3: Meta Test-Time Training for Self-Supervised Test-Time Adaption

An unresolved problem in Deep Learning is the ability of neural networks to cope with domain shifts during test-time, imposed by commonly fixing network parameters after training. Our proposed method Meta Test-Time Training (MT3), however, breaks this paradigm and enables adaption at test-time. We combine meta-learning, self-supervision and test-time training to learn to adapt to unseen test distributions. By minimizing the self-supervised loss, we learn task-specific model parameters for different tasks. A meta-model is optimized such that its adaption to the different task-specific models leads to higher performance on those tasks. During test-time a single unlabeled image is sufficient to adapt the meta-model parameters. This is achieved by minimizing only the self-supervised loss component resulting in a better prediction for that image. Our approach significantly improves the state-of-the-art results on the CIFAR-10-Corrupted image classification benchmark. Our implementation is available on GitHub.
