Abstract: Abstract Zeroth-order (ZO) optimization is one key technique for machine learning problems where gradient calculation is expensive or impossible. Several variance, reduced ZO proximal algorithms have been proposed to speed up ZO optimization for nonsmooth problems, and all of them opted for the coordinated ZO estimator against the random ZO estimator when approximating the true gradient, since the former is more accurate. While the random ZO estimator introduces a larger error and makes convergence analysis more challenging compared to coordinated ZO estimator, it requires only O(1) computation, which is significantly less than O(d) computation of the coordinated ZO estimator, with d being dimension of the problem space. To take advantage of the computationally efficient nature of the random ZO estimator, we first propose a ZO objective decrease (ZOOD) property that can incorporate two different types of errors in the upper bound of convergence rate. Next, we propose two generic reduction frameworks for ZO optimization, which can automatically derive the convergence results for convex and nonconvex problems, respectively, as long as the convergence rate for the inner solver satisfies the ZOOD property. With the application of two reduction frameworks on our proposed ZOR-ProxSVRG and ZOR-ProxSAGA, two variance-reduced ZO proximal algorithms with fully random ZO estimators, we improve the state-of-the-art function query complexities from Omindn1/2ε2,dε3 to O˜n+dε2 under d&amp;gt;n12 for nonconvex problems, and from Odε2 to O˜nlog1ε+dε for convex problems. Finally, we conduct experiments to verify the superiority of our proposed methods.

Abstract: Communication in English has long been recognised as one of the most challenging skills for pupils learning the language. Many studies in recent years have also emphasised the relevance of English communication abilities. With the advancement of technology in our current day, kids may learn communication skills through a variety of tools. As a result, determining the learning approaches used by pupils to build their English communication talents is crucial. A systematic literature review is undertaken in this study to investigate the prevailing language learning approaches utilised by Malaysian pupils acquiring English as a Second Language (ESL). Four databases were utilised to obtain the publications that were analysed: Scopus, Science Direct, Web of Science (WoS), and Google Scholar. The articles that met the eligibility criteria were published between 2020-2023. Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) is the methodology utilised in this review. Metacognitive and cognitive processes were the most frequently utilised methods for improving speaking abilities, followed by compensatory and social approaches, according to the data. Memory and emotive methods, on the other hand, were the least used by pupils. The new study might assist teachers in selecting the best teaching method for future modern classrooms. The applicability of learning strategies for different learning skills may be extensively studied in future studies.

Abstract: Digital forensics is facing new challenges with rise in new anti-forensics techniques and tools including virtualization. Virtualization can be used as shield against different types of attacks, at the same time it can be leveraged by attackers as anti-forensics tool. Forensic investigators face enormous challenges while collecting the digital evidences in case where virtualization is used by an attacker. Virtualization comes in different forms, one of the difficulty form is light weight virtualization. Microsoft windows operating system offers sandbox light weight virtualization. Microsoft windows sandbox is an isolated testing environment to run programs or open files without affecting the application, system, or platform on which they run. After closing the sandbox nothing persists on the device, everything is discarded. This paper reveals the anti-forensics capabilities of sandbox and possible solutions to collect the forensics artefacts using windows registry. Registry analysis revealed that only use of sandbox on host operating system is discoverable and activities and data inside the sandbox are discarded permanently.

Abstract: With its recent release, the Apple Vision Pro (Apple Inc., Cupertino, CA) represents a promising technological advancement of mixed reality in the field of neurosurgery and medicine more broadly. With all new technologies, it is critical to facilitate early use and assessment of the technology to facilitate adoption by the larger medical community. A 44-year-old female with a history of ruptured intracranial aneurysm status post anterior communicating artery aneurysm clipping presented with worsened confusion and intermittent headache. CT imaging revealed evidence of hydrocephalus due to the malfunction of a previous right parietal ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt. Prior to the case, the Apple Vision Pro was used in the operating room to visualize and interact with a 3D model of the patient's anatomy for the patient undergoing a VP shunt placement. A visualization of the 3D model through the headset was used to plan the approach and entry point. At the conclusion of the procedure, all clinicians and operating staff who used the technology for planning completed a survey about their initial impressions of the headset. Overall, users felt the 3D models felt realistic (4.5/5), that the display of the user's real-world view felt natural (4.3/5), and that the headset did not cause eye strain or fatigue (4.5/5). The majority of users responded that they would continue to use the headset for cases (4/5). This represents one of the first known clinical uses of the Apple Vision Pro. It is a cutting-edge technology that will likely provide immense value for healthcare providers as it becomes more integrated into clinical care.

Abstract: Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a disorder of the nervous system from birth and during infancy. This disorder affects children's development, making it difficult for nerve function to develop, and causes the child concerned to have difficulty in fostering social relationships. Early detection of children with ASD is needed so that treatment is fast and on target. Currently, facilities and research on early diagnosis of ASD patients through EEG signals are still very few, requiring much cost and more effort to analyze EEG signals in examinations related to ASD detection cases. This study proposes a mobile phone application that can distinguish people living with ASD and normal data signals based on asynchronous EEG brain signals. This research also produces a preprocessing algorithm and BCI2000 EEG data signal so that it can be automated using Python. This research also produces an output model, namely the Deep Learning Convolutional Neural Network, which is deployed using Python-Flask so that the diagnosis of EEG signals with ASD and normal patients can be used on various platforms through restAPI. This research is also expected to help the community and support the diagnosis of ASD sufferers so that they can be handled appropriately. Data for ASD sufferers and normal data were correctly classified into the appropriate class. Handling this disease requires close and integrated cooperation, so this ASD classification will be very helpful for patients and can make a diagnosis in a faster time, enabling patients to receive targeted treatment and therapy.
