Silent HMMs: Generalized Representation of Hidden Semi-Markov Models and Hierarchical HMMs

Modeling sequence data using probabilistic finite state machines (PFSMs) is a technique that analyzes the underlying dynamics in sequences of symbols. Hidden semi-Markov models (HSMMs) and hierarchical hidden Markov models (HHMMs) are PFSMs that have been successfully applied to a wide variety of applications by extending HMMs to make the extracted patterns easier to interpret. However, these models are independently developed with their own training algorithm, so that we cannot combine multiple kinds of structures to build a PFSM for a specific application. In this paper, we prove that silent hidden Markov models (silent HMMs) are flexible models that have more expressive power than HSMMs and HHMMs. Silent HMMs are HMMs that contain silent states, which do not emit any observations. We show that we can obtain silent HMM equivalent to given HSMMs and HHMMs. We believe that these results form a firm foundation to use silent HMMs as a unified representation for PFSM modeling.
CrypTFlow: Secure TensorFlow Inference.

We present CrypTFlow, a first of its kind system that converts TensorFlow inference code into Secure Multi-party Computation (MPC) protocols at the push of a button. To do this, we build three components. Our first component, Athos, is an end-to-end compiler from TensorFlow to a variety of semihonest MPC protocols. The second component, Porthos, is an improved semi-honest 3-party protocol that provides significant speedups for TensorFlow like applications. Finally, to provide malicious secure MPC protocols, our third component, Aramis, is a novel technique that uses hardware with integrity guarantees to convert any semi-honest MPC protocol into an MPC protocol that provides malicious security. The malicious security of the protocols output by Aramis relies on integrity of the hardware and semi-honest security of MPC. Moreover, our system matches the inference accuracy of plaintext TensorFlow.We experimentally demonstrate the power of our system by showing the secure inference of real-world neural networks such as ResNet50 and DenseNet121 over the ImageNet dataset with running times of about 30 seconds for semi-honest security and under two minutes for malicious security. Prior work in the area of secure inference has been limited to semi-honest security of small networks over tiny datasets such as MNIST or CIFAR. Even on MNIST/CIFAR, CrypTFlow outperforms prior work.

Prediction of hydrogen plasma induced modified anatase TiO$_2$ (001) surface with desirable water splitting performance

We show that exposing TiO$_2$ anatase (001) surface to hydrogen plasma causes a slight structural modification of the surface. On the modified surface the topmost TiO$_2$ layer is intact, but out of registry with the bottom layers. Nevertheless, the modified surface has significantly improved ability to split water under exposure to sunlight. First, we show by explicit calculation of the water splitting reaction that the energy barrier that exists on a pristine surface isn't present on the modified surface. Second, we show that the valence band maximum of the surface is raised relative to the pristine surface, which is a favorable way of adjusting the band gap in TiO$_2$ to the solar spectrum.

Detection of Driver’s Eye Fixation on a Moving Target by Using Line Fitting

This paper proposes a method of obtaining the sets of gaze points looking at the same object or portion in the situation, while driving a vehicle through a straight road, and that the relative speed of the vehicle and an object outside the vehicle is constant. The proposed method uses the lines fitted to the gaze points of a driver. It judges that a driver looks at the same object or portion when the sets of gaze points are on the same line. An example of the application of the proposed method to eye tracking data in simulated autonomous driving is shown in order to demonstrate the validity of the proposed method.
Reconfigurable Threshold Logic Networks in FPGA for Moving Object Detection

Threshold logic inspires from the principle of the firing of neurons mimicking synaptic connections of a binary neural network to create generalized logical functions for solving complex cognitive tasks such as object detection. We propose an implementation of modular and hierarchical threshold logic network in FPGA that aims to provide a low complexity near-sensor co-processing hardware solution for object detection in digital cameras. The proposed network has been designed and implemented on a Xilinx Zynq SoC. The solution is robust in terms of object detection even in the presence of high levels of occlusion, noise and illumination changes. The total power consumption of the design is estimated to be 8.6 W. Performance analysis of the detector IP core is thoroughly simulated on test databases for computer vision with real-world images. The object detection module ensures a high performance rate of about 5000 frames per second at 100 MHz clock frequency while processing 100 × 100 pixel images.

Colour processing in adversarial attacks on face liveness systems.

In the context of face recognition systems, liveness test is a binary classification task aiming at distinguishing between inputimages that come from real people’s faces and input images that come from photos or videos of those faces, and presented tothe system’s camera by an attacker. In this paper, we train the state-of-the-art, general purpose deep neural network ResNet forliveness testing, and measure the effect on its performance of adversarial attacks based on the manipulation of the saturationcomponent of the imposter images. Our findings suggest that higher saturation values in the imposter images lead to a decreasein the network’s performance. Next, we study the relationship between the proposed adversarial attacks and correspondingdirect presentation attacks. Initial results on a small dataset of processed images which are then printed on paper or displayedon an LCD or a mobile phone screen, show that higher saturation values lead to higher values in the network’s loss function,indicating that these colour manipulation techniques can indeed be converted into enhanced presentation attacks.

학업부진 성인학습자를 위한 교수법 공유 사례 연구

The purpose of this study is to share strategies through know-how sharing and student management on cases shared between professors on teaching methods for understudy adult learners. To this end, a research group on teaching methods among professors of major was used to derive teaching methods suitable for adult learners. The research results show that first and foremost, in order to understand the differences between school-age learners and adult learners in major classes, and to promote understanding of major classes based on understanding, it should be conducted so that they can become two-way classes rather than one-sided ones by forming relationships, communicating adult learners' experiences and learning levels. Second, understanding of adult learners who complained of vague fears and difficulties in academic content, report writing and presentation has been effective in forming empathy, communication and relationships. Third, it was a time to share with each other that the degree of understanding of the professor's understanding of adult learners was different, and by reading and understanding prior research and data, evidence-based understanding was pre-existing, thus helping to proceed with the class for adult learners. Fourth, the effect of interviewing adult learners who considered middle school was to prevent them from dropping out of school through interviews and meetings as they were burdened by family and economic activities and academic activities.
Chiralities in topological vector spaces

Differential Linear Logic extends Linear Logic by allowing the differentiation of proofs. Trying to interpret this proof-theoretical notion of differentiation by traditional analysis, one faces the fact that analysis badly accommodates with the very basic layers of Linear Logic. Indeed, tensor products are seldom associative and spaces stable by double duality enjoy very poor stability properties. In this work, we unveil the polarized settings lying beyond several models of Differential Linear Logic. By doing so, we identify chiralities - a categorical axiomatic developed from game semantics - as an adequate setting for expressing several results from the theory of topological vector spaces. In particular, complete spaces provide an interpretation for negative connectives, while barrelled or bornological spaces provide an interpretation for positive connectives.

Immigrant Needs Analysis to Develop a Korean Language Textbook for Korea Immigration &amp; Integration Program

본 논문은 사회통합프로그램 한국어 교재 개발을 위해 교육에 참여하는 이민자를 대상으로 요구분석을 실시한 연구이다. 전국의 사회통합프로그램 참여자 2,521명을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하여 이민자들의 특성을 파악하고, 교재 만족도와 새 교재에 대한 요구를 파악하였다. 그 결과 교재 개발에 반영할 점들을 다음과 같이 도출하였다. 첫째, 사회통합프로그램 참여자들은 체류 자격에 따라 한국어 학습 목적에 차이를 보였다. 따라서 공통 교재에는 이민자들의 한국생활에 관한 일반적인 내용과 취업 및 직장생활을 다루는 것이 바람직하다. 그밖에 자녀교육 및 가정생활, 국적 취득 등은 결혼이민자에게만 해당되는 내용이므로 이민자 유형별 보조 자료를 별도로 개발하여 다루는 것이 필요하다. 둘째, 현재의 한국어 교재에 대한 만족도가 높은 편이지만 말하기, 발음 교육이 부족하다고 느끼고 있었다. 또한 어휘 학습에 대한 부담감이 크므로 어휘 양을 조절하고 효율적인 학습 방법을 마련할 필요가 있다. 셋째, 이민자들은 교재의 학습 내용과 실제 생활에서 사용하는 한국어와 괴리감이 있다고 느끼고 있으므로 좀더 생활에 밀접한 내용과 표현을 다루는 것이 필요하다. 넷째, 사회통합프로그램의 워크북은 수업 시간에 교재와 함께 사용할 수 있도록 하고, 자습용으로도 사용하도록 개발되어야 한다. 이러한 요구분석 내용은 사회통합프로그램 한국어 교재 개발을 위한 기초 자료로 유용하게 활용될 것이다.This study analyzes the needs of immigrants to develop a Korean language textbook for the Korea Immigration & Integration Program (KIIP). A nationwide survey was conducted with 2,521 participants from KIIP to identify the characteristics of immigrants, satisfaction with the current textbook, and the need for a new textbook. Based on the results, we identified the following issues that should be considered when developing a textbook. First, participants of KIIP have different reasons for learning Korean based on the status of their stay. Therefore, ideally the textbook should have general content pertaining to life in Korea and employment-related content. Information about childrearing, family life, and naturalization are pertinent only to marriage immigrants, hence such content should ideally be added to supplemental data that can be sorted by type of immigration status. Second, the participants were highly satisfied with the current textbook, but felt that it needs to be improved with respect to speaking and pronunciation. Moreover, immigrants found learning vocabulary overwhelming, hence the number of words should be adjusted and efficient learning methods should be devised. Third, immigrants felt that there is a considerable gap between the contents of the textbook and the language that is actually used for communication. Thus, the textbook should contain more practical contents and expressions. Fourth, there is a definite need for a workbook, but a workbook should be developed to be used alongside the textbook during class or for self-study. These results would be useful as baseline data for developing a Korean language textbook for KIIP.

Cultural congruence of websites: conscious, unconscious or coincidental? The case of Honda Cars.

Introduction. This paper analyses the cross-cultural website design strategy of a division of a single multinational company, namely Honda Cars.Method. We conducted a content analysis of sixty-one Honda Cars websites, each targeted at a different country.Analysis. We perform t-tests and compute Pearson correlations to verify and quantify the cultural convergence of the Honda Cars websites. We use novel regression analyses to explain the deviations between the culture reflected in the websites and the culture of the country the sites are targeted at.Results. We find that the sites of Honda Cars are by and large culturally congruent – for all the dimensions of national culture originally proposed by Hofstede and Hall. The templates that some regional offices of Honda Cars provided to their branches thus do not appear to have overly constrained local developers in creating a culturally sensitive site. Finally, the sites show a higher degree of localisation when the Internet penetration in the country is high and a lower localisation degree when the country has an extreme score on a specific cultural dimension.Conclusions. Our results suggest that the observed cultural congruence is partly deliberate and partly accidental.
Scholarly Communication: What Everyone Needs to Know, by R. Anderson. New York: Oxford University Press, 2018. (280p. $16.95). ISBN 978-0-1906-3945-7

This study examined the Twitter streams and websites of 36 university innovation centers and identified 14 service categories the centers offered. Exploring the present Twitter use practices of innovation centers and the services the centers provide can inform the design and planning of service offerings at new innovation centers and support training for center staff in the use of this social media platform. In addition, existing innovation centers can benchmark their service offerings against those services. Furthermore, mapping the services the innovation centers offer to the activities in an innovation workflow model can help center managers optimize the information architecture of their websites and resource guides. In this way, students can easily be informed about the help and resources available for each activity or phase of the innovation process. A comparison of the tweet categories identified in the present study with those of academic libraries assembled in a previous study revealed significant overlap, but some differences as well. In contrast to the Twitter accounts of academic libraries, the Twitter accounts of innovation centers did not tweet about their information services even if they offered them. Innovation centers also did not use Twitter to provide Q&A services to their users. Furthermore, innovation centers tweeted not only about the technological resources they provided, but also about the human resources they recruited to serve as student mentors and advisors. Finally, technology use was more mediated in innovation centers than in libraries, and some centers offered their users fee-based assistance from professionals with their 3D design and printing tasks.
An analysis of factor influencing Korean university students' use of mobile-assisted language learning environment

The purpose of this study was to investigate the factors that influenced the mobile-assisted language learning (MALL) environment. To do so, seven constructs which included personal factors (attitude, metacognition), social factors (subjective norm, interactivity), and cognitive factors (perceived usefulness, perceived ease, content reliability) were selected. A questionnaire was developed to measure the constructs of MALL. A total of 194 university students were surveyed in the spring semester of 2018, and data were analyzed using exploratory factor analysis. The results of data analysis were classified into five influencing factors, which were different from the ones originated by previous studies, and the question items of each factor also showed a different aspect from the original question composition of previous studies. As a result of analyzing the correlation among the new factors, all factors except subjective norms showed more than medium levels of positive correlations, and the correlation of each pair was statistically significant. This study suggests the instructional ways to utilize influencing factors of MALL and develop measurement tools as well as offers pedagogical implication for language teachers, students, and system designers.
