Modeling the structure and evolution of cultural information as Quasispecies
Authors: Stevenson David
Published: May 2023

We present a novel model of culture that directly relates biological evolution with modern aspects of cultural evolution. The model considers the high rate of error in communication and builds on structural and evolutionary similarities between biological molecules and written language. Firstly, both written language and biological molecules are modular. Within RNA and polypeptide molecules there are structural domains that may be recombined while maintaining their function. Likewise, sentences are structured as combinations of clauses, in which each clause contains a domain of information. The clausal structure permits the recombination of information to adopt different meanings, while allowing each unit to retain its identity. Secondly, we show that some, but not all, aspects of communicated culture have a high error rate, ensuring that information exists as rapidly evolving clouds within the population. Through their intrinsically high rate of mutation, clouds of cultural information are analogous to viral quasispecies and may be modelled as such. We then integrate these ideas with the application of Shannon Diversity Index to produce a more holistic view of culture that is centered on the evolution of information. Re-imagining culture, as evolving clouds of information, unifies the mode in which information is stored culturally and biologically, and opens up new avenues of comparative analysis.

A epistemologia de Frege e a atividade do diretor: Gedanke e Vorstellung na criação cinematográfica
Authors: Prado Lúcio Lourenço
Published: May 2023

O presente artigo aborda a atividade de criação do diretor de cinema à luz da epistemologia de Frege que distingue as faculdades relativas ao pensamento, entendido como compreensão de conteúdos objetivos comunicáveis, e à representação, que é a capacidade de produção de imagens mentais. A transposição do conteúdo informativo expresso objetivamente no roteiro, com sua sintaxe própria, para a sintaxe do filme propriamente dito, composta por tomadas, cenas e sequências, impõe a necessidade de uma etapa subjetiva no trabalho do diretor que deve produzir um filme mental prévio como paradigma próximo da obra cinematográfica final. Nesse sentido, busca-se compreender a natureza solitária do processo criativo do diretor e as contradições desta condição com o caráter essencialmente coletivo da produção cinematográfica.
Further Thoughts on Defining f(x) for Ethical Machines: Ethics, Rational Choice, and Risk Analysis
Authors: Peterson Clayton
Published: May 2023

There is a tendency to anthropomorphize artificial intelligence (AI) and reify it as a person. From the perspective of machine ethics and ethical AI, this has resulted in the belief that truly autonomous ethical agents (i.e., machines and algorithms) can be defined, and that machines could, by themselves, behave ethically and perform actions that are justified from a normative standpoint. Under this assumption, and given that utilities and risks are generally seen as quantifiable, many scholars have seen consequentialism (utilitarianism) and rational choice theory as likely candidates to be implemented in automated ethical decision procedures, for instance to assess and manage risks as well as maximize expected utility. Building on a recent example from the machine ethics literature, we use computer simulations to argue that technical issues with ethical ramifications leave room for reasonable disagreement even when algorithms are based on ethical and rational foundations such as consequentialism and rational choice theory. By doing so, our aim is to illustrate the limitations of automated behavior and ethical AI and, incidentally, to raise awareness on the limits of so-called ethical agents.

An Interactive Modelling Environment for Designing Warehouse Layouts Based on ASP
Authors: Thevapalan Andre , Wilhelm Marco , Kern-Isberner Gabriele , Kaiser Pascal , Roidl Moritz
Published: May 2023

In this paper, we apply answer set programming (ASP) to the task of planning warehouse layouts within the logistical domain. Warehouse layout planners have to take into account a vast number of aspects to come up with feasible layouts, especially the placement of logistical elements under specific conditions like the accessibility of warehouse elements. Also optimization criteria, e. g., minimizing the pathways, have to be considered. Out of a generally large number of feasible layouts, the layout planner has to decide which layout fits best. As this can be quite difficult and time-consuming, we propose an interactive modelling environment which creates all feasible layouts for a given planning problem by exploiting a logistical knowledge base as well as specific case data provided by the user, who can interactively review all optimal layouts and look for the most suited one. It allows for taking soft constraints and vague expert knowledge into account while leaving room for proposing novel ideas for layouts.
Analysis of Artificial Intelligence regulations for trustworthiness
Authors: Park Hyesung , Kwon Hun-yeong
Published: May 2023

Artificial intelligence emerged as a powerful technology using data in the 4th Industrial Revolution. As a result, artificial intelligence is currently being considered for use in many fields due to its efficiency and function. In this situation, to actively utilize artificial intelligence, society must accept artificial intelligence as a technology that can be used in the community. In other words, trustworthiness in artificial intelligence is needed within society. Currently, many countries are preparing various measures, such as policies and laws, to secure the trustworthiness of artificial intelligence. This paper analyzes acts or bills of artificial intelligence prepared in the country based on ensuring artificial intelligence trustworthiness. Through this, this paper tries to understand the characteristics of ways to secure the trustworthiness of artificial intelligence through acts for each country and to find the legal contents that can more effectively ensure trustworthiness.
Capturing Preferences of New Users in Generative Tasks with Minimal Interactions Collaborative Filtering Using Siamese Networks and Soft Clustering
Authors: Sarkar Subharag , Huber Manfred
Published: May 2023

Prediction of user preferences is a challenge, in particular when the objective is to learn them without requiring the user to provide a profile or a significant number of interactions. Many collaborative filtering algorithms exist but all of them require the availability of huge datasets of user information and expensive computations. In this paper, a novel architecture is introduced which aims to predict a new user’s interests in the context of previous users’ interactions with minimal feedback interactions. Here, a Siamese Network is used to generate an embedding space for data from existing users. This information is then used in a Gaussian Mixture Model to generate multiple soft clusters. Based on the embedding space, system responses to the user are generated using a Conditional Generative Adversarial Network which uses a vector drawn from the Gaussian Mixture in embedding space from the Siamese Network as the conditional input. The predictive model then interacts with the new user and based on their feedback adjusts the Gaussian Mixture to find the distribution with the highest probability of generating the user’s preferred data. The approach is applied in the context of an image generation task where the goal is to learn to generate images that match the preferences of the user using only a minimal number of direct user interactions. Testing in this domain has shown promising results that exemplify the ability of the approach to capture the user’s preferences while presenting only a minimal number of image examples.
Learning Sensor Based Risk Map Augmentation for Risk Aware UAS Operation
Authors: Trivedi Bhaskar , Huber Manfred
Published: May 2023

Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) have become increasingly popular and have been identified as a good platform for a range of tasks from surveillance and inspection to delivery and maintenance. In many of these applications these systems have to operate in environments that are frequented by people or that contain sensitive infrastructure and in which the operation of UAS thus poses physical risk in terms of damage in case of vehicle failure or psychological or privacy risks which would make their operation less acceptable. To increase the use of these systems it is thus important that they can take into account these risks when determining navigation strategies. While this can sometimes be done based on prior information, such as street and building  plans in cities, a priori information is often not complete, making it essential that risk representations can be augmented in real time based on sensor information. This paper presents an approach to risk map augmentation that uses learned risk identification from aerial pictures to fuse additional information with prior data into a dynamically changing risk map that allows effective re-planning of navigation strategies.
Enhancing Knowledge Management in Healthcare: An Embedding Fusion Approach to Business Rule Representation
Authors: Berg Braeden , Agaram Mukundan , Mohindra Shikha , Thirupathi Abhinav Nadh
Published: May 2023

Enterprise Decision Management systems are vital for delivering efficient healthcare services. However, the ever-changing clinical terminology creates complex business rules, making healthcare IT systems difficult to maintain. In this study, we present an embedding fusion technique using unsupervised Natural Language Processing (NLP) to represent business rules as semantic vectors by incorporating multiple text data sources for each rule. We apply this method to a dental insurance administration case study and find that our approach is over 200 times more likely to identify redundant rule pairs compared to random pairs. This case study suggests that an embedding-based technique can significantly improve knowledge management efficiency in healthcare IT systems.
A Q-Learning Proposal for Tuning Genetic Algorithms in Flexible Job Shop Scheduling Problems
Authors: Perez Christian , March Carlos , Salido Miguel A.
Published: May 2023

Genetic algorithms (GAs) belong to the category of evolutionary algorithms and are frequently utilized for resolving challenging combinatorial problems. However, they typically require customization to suit a particular problem type, and their performance is heavily influenced by numerous hyperparameters and reproduction operators. In this work, we propose a Reinforcement Learning approach for fine-tuning Genetic Algorithms in Flexible Job Shop Scheduling problems (FJSP), where the main parameters involved in the genetic algorithm operators are trained to allocate the most promising values. The approach returns an optimized schedule taking into account given constraints specific to the scenario, such as the relationship among release date, due date, and processing time, which machines must be selected out of a set of alternative machines, or which sequence-dependent setup time can be filtered.

The approach takes input data in the form of FJSP instances by varying the numbers of jobs and machines and then uses the NSGA-II algorithm to generate solutions. These solutions are stored in a Solutions module and they are analyzed using a Principal components analysis (PCA) to identify clusters of similar instances and solutions. The Q-Learning module then generates hyperparameters for each iteration of the NSGA-II algorithm based on information from the previous modules. A toy example is presented to better understand the behavior of the proposal and the results obtained for optimizing further instances of the problem in a more efficient way.
Semantics-based Framework for Incentivized Research Data Sharing
Authors: Adams Kacy , McGuinness Deborah , Seneviratne Oshani
Published: May 2023

We present a framework for incentivized research data sharing using an ontology called the Data Sharing Ontology (DSO). The DSO captures the semantics of academic research data sharing and provides an operational specification for data sharing between researchers. The DSO includes a two-part incentive mechanism to confirm citations and reward reproducible research methods. The proposed solution is demonstrated using a dataset-sharing decentralized application use case. The paper's contributions provide a scalable technique for creating, curating, publishing, and consuming web-based, structured, and reusable datasets, including semantically annotated knowledge graphs.
Enhancing Accuracy and Explainability of Recidivism Prediction Models
Authors: Babad Tammy , Soon Ae Chun
Published: May 2023

Predicting recidivism is a challenging task, but it helps support courts in their decision-making process. Automated prediction models suffer from low accuracy and are associated with criticism for biased and unexplainable decision-making. In this poster, we present different machine-learning models with just a few selected features that achieve accuracies as good as models that use larger sets of features. In addition, we investigate the influencing features that contribute to recidivism prediction, which can enhance the explainability of the learned models.
DanfeNER - Named Entity Recognition in Nepali Tweets
Authors: Niraula Nobal , Chapagain Jeevan
Published: May 2023

Twitter allows users to easily post tweets on any subject or event anytime, generating massive amounts of rich text content on diverse topics. Automated methods such as Named Entity Recognition (NER) are required to process the massive tweet data. Processing tweets, however, poses a special challenge as they are informal posts with incomplete context and often contain acronyms, hashtags, misspellings, abbreviations, and URLs due to length constraints. This paper presents the first systematic study of NER in Nepali tweets corresponding to five different entity types: Person Name (PER), Location (LOC), Organization (ORG), Date (DAT), and Event (EVT). We develop DanfeNER, the first human-labeled high-quality NER benchmark data sets for the low-resource language Nepali. DanfeNER contains 5,366 records and 3,463 entities in its train set and 2,301 records and 1,503 entities in its test set. Using this data set, we benchmark several state-of-the-art Nepali monolingual and multilingual transformer models, obtaining micro-averaged F1 scores up to 81%.
Tax Revolts in Yorubaland, 1925-1955
Authors: Afolabi Abiodun S.
Published: May 2023

Most researchers have generally regarded taxation as the main reason for the revolt in colonial Nigeria. There are good reasons to believe that there were other significant tax-related considerations, other than taxation, that were responsible for the revolts that were thrown up in late colonial southwestern Nigeria. Some scholars have also noted a comparative process that is currently unfolding; that it was the need to raise money that forced the hands of the colonial authority into democratization and that the despondency of the indigenous population was a major reason for the crises that enveloped Yorubaland from 1925 up to 1955. These claims have been fully tested. In the article ‘Tax Revolts in Yoruba land, 1925-1955’, questions are asked and arguments explored using archival and oral evidence. The study found that the high-handedness of the Native Authority and other social and economic considerations were genuine reasons for the discontent of the indigenous population. These were significant constraints that morphed into spontaneous violent responses across Yorubaland against British colonialism.
Representation of Fictional Characters with Disabilities in Selected Crime Novels of Oͅládèͅjoͅ Òkédìjí
Authors: Adéyeͅmí Oͅlálérè
Published: May 2023

Scholars of Yorùbá literary criticism have not done much in the area of disability studies; therefore, there is a paucity of critical works on the representation of people with disability in Yorùbá novels. This study intended to fill the gap.  The objectives of the study, therefore, were to examine the representation of fictional characters with disabilities in Oͅládèͅjoͅ Òkédìjí’s crime novels particularly Bínú ti rí and Àgbàlagbà Akàn; assess the message of the novelist, and the implications of those representations for the society within the social and charity models of disability theory. The findings of the study showed that Òkédìjí represents the blind and cognitively impaired persons in a positive manner through his modes of projected characterization. He identifies with the plights of a person with a disability, they are mostly victims of poverty, hunger, and crimes in the Post-colonial Nigerian society; and treats all the fictional characters with dignity and honor in line with Yorùbá thoughts and beliefs.  Òkédìjí rejects through his characterization technique and use of proverbs, the insidious kind of social categorization and stigmatization that carry with it a ‘devalued status’ for disabled people prevalent in the modern time as against the Yorùbá culture which regards those living with disability as ‘Eͅni-Òrìsà’ (offspring of the deity). The paper concluded that the message of the novelist about people with disabilities is that disability is not an element of inability; there is ability in disability if society projects a positive image of people with disabilities.

There are certain books that will continue to be relevant to contemporary discourse as it fashions themselves out of history, Toyin Falola’s book, Memories of Africa, Home, and Abroad in the United States, is one of those. In the abyss of ‘remembering’ and ‘recollecting’, Falola takes his readers through a seamless journey in the collection of essays and selected images that make up the entirety of his book by exploring the experiences of African migrants through a recount of their memoirs. Thus, memoir is the lens through which Falola challenges normative linear narratives of African history to provide a more complex understanding of the African continent through the creation of complicated stories of African migrants and their lived experiences.

Salah satu permasalahan yang terjadi pada motor induksi adalah gangguan yang diakibatkan oleh harmonisa. Harmonisa dapat menyebabkan getaran dan suara pada motor induksi 3 fasa. Jika didiamkan dalam kurun waktu yang lama akan mengurangi usia pakai dari motor induksi tiga fasa. Oleh karena itu dilakukan penelitian yang  bertujuan untuk mengurangi harmonisa yang terjadi pada motor induksi tiga fasa . Metode penelitian yang digunakan untuk mengetahui nilai harmonisa adalah dengan cara memasang kapasitor yang mempunyai nilai kapasitansi berbeda-beda yaitu 2µf, 4µf, 6µf, 8µf, 10µf dan pemberian variasi beban yang dilakukan dengan memberikan pengereman dengan menggunakan regulator. Tegangan regulator yang digunakan adalah 80V, 140V dan 200V. Hasil pengukuran akan diambil dengan menggunakan modul NI DAQ USB 6009 dan aplikasi LabVIEW. Berdasarkan hasil pengukuran nilai  THD arus dan THD tegangan menggunakan alat ukur NI USB 6009 diketahui bahwa nilai THD arus rata-rata pada motor induksi tiga fasa dengan beban tegangan regulator 80V adalah 0.08%, pada beban tegangan regulator 140V adalah 0.07% dan pada beban tegangan regulator 200V adalah 0.055%. Setelah dipasang kapasitor THD arus nilai THD arus tertinggi terjadi pada pemasangan kapasitor 10µf yaitu 0.24%. Sedangkan nilai THD tegangan rata-rata pada semua beban sebelum dipasang kapasitor adalah 0.027% dan THD tegangan rata-rata ketika dipasang kapasitor adalah 0.025% s/d 0.026%. Hal ini menunjukkan bahwa akibat pemasangan kapasitor nilai THD arus cenderung meningkat danTHD tegangan cenderung menurun.Kata kunci : Harmonik; Motor 3 fasa; NI DAQ USB 6009

Perkembangan teknologi informasi di era revolusi 4.0 telah memberikan perubahan yang signifikan terhadap proses dan metode pembelajaran khusus nya pada kegiatan praktikum di laboratorium. Ada nya bermacam perangkat lunak yang mendukung terwujud nya suatu laboratorium maya  telah memberikan solusi terhadap permasalahan yang dihadapi penyelenggara pendidikan seperti biaya, ruang, dan waktu untuk membuat laboratorium yang memiliki peralatan yang mampu memberikan pengalaman belajar kepada mahasiswa sehingga tujuan pembelajaran tercapai. Selain itu selama pandemi Covid-19 menyebabkan mahasiswa tidak mendapatkan akses mengikuti kegiatan praktikum secara penuh di laboratorium. Untuk itu dalam penelitian ini dilakukan perancangan laboratorium virtual percobaan paralel generator sinkron yang digunakan dalam kegiatan praktikum mesin-mesin listrik menggunakan perangkat lunak LabVIEW. Rancang bangun laboratorium virtual melalui tahapan yaitu mengidentifikasi dan menetapkan data-data generator sinkron, menetapkan skenario percobaan, membuat antar muka, mensimulasikan hasil pemograman, dan menganalisa keterkaitan antara parameter pada saat percobaan dilakukan. Terdapat tiga jenis percobaan yaitu percobaan generator sinkron tanpa beban, percobaan paralel dan percobaan generator sinkron parallel berbeban. Hasil simulasi pada program LabVIEW menunjukkan bahwa pada percobaan pertama terdapat korelasi antara kecepatan putaran generator berbanding lurus dengan tegangan keluaran generator sinkron, percobaan kedua generator terlihat bahwa paralel generator hanya dapat dilakukan ketika seluruh syarat-syarat paralel terpenuhi, percobaan ketiga terlihat bahwa dengan penambahan beban terjadi kenaikan arus jangkar, penurunan tegangan terminal, kecepatan, dan frekuensi generator. Hasil simulasi tiga percobaan tersebut menunjukkan bahwa data yang didapatkan dari seluruh percobaan sesuai dengan data percobaan menggunakan peralatan ril sehingga dapat disimpulkan bahwa laboratorium virtual ini dapat dilakukan sebagai sarana pembelajaran untuk prakitkum paralel generator sinkron.   Kata kunci : laboratorium virtual; LabVIEW; paralel; generator sinkron

Industri farmasi merupakan salah satu industri yang sangat membutuhkan ruangan dengan kondisi suhu tertentu untuk menunjang keberlangsungan proses produksi maupun penyimpanan bahan baku dan bahan jadi dengan baik, seperti yang ditetapkan dalam CPOB (Cara Pembuatan Obat yang Baik) bahwa kondisi suhu ruangan harus dikendalikan, dipantau dan dicatat. Banyak industri farmasi melakukan proses pemantauan dan pencatatan kondisi ruangan dilakukan secara manual dengan survei langsung ke ruangan memeriksa thermohygrometer dan melakukan pencatatan pada formulir yang telah disediakan. Hal ini menimbulkan beberapa masalah diantaranya: ketika formulir pencatatan hilang, operator lupa mencatat, data tidak tersedia real time.  Oleh karena itu pada penelitian ini peneliti akan merancang dan mengimplementasikan internet of things pada sebuah sistem pemantauan suhu dan pengolahan data. Tujuan dalam penelitian ini yaitu menerapkan internet of things pada industri farmasi agar proses pemantauan suhu ruangan dan pengolahan data lebih efisien. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode model prototipe yang terdiri dari tahap Tahap pertama dengan membuat desain sistem. Tahap kedua   melakukan perancangan software Arduino IDE, thingspeak dan thingview dan hardware dengan membuat instalasi wiring dan layout panel.

Due to the high prevalence of different levels of memory disorders and amnesia, many psychiatry and psychology referrals are due to the fear of diseases that cause dementia, including Alzheimer's disease. However, many of these disorders have internal causes and can be classified as functional cognitive disorders. Although the diagnosis of cognitive disorder is made by ruling out organic causes, it is difficult to diagnose functional disorders, thus most of these disorders are not diagnosed. It has been determined that depression, anxiety and behavioral disorders can be precursors of mild cognitive impairment, but it has not been determined whether functional cognitive impairment can also be a trigger or precursor for organic cognitive disorders related to dementia. The typical form of functional cognitive disorder overlaps with the components of attention and concentration. The coexistence of these disorders with depression can make the diagnosis of functional cognitive disorders more difficult. Therefore, it is important to rule out pseudodementia due to depression before making such a diagnosis. Since functional cognitive impairment occur in the midlife period, these disorders are differentially diagnosed with early-onset neurodegenerative disorders. Regardless of the research conducted in the field of diagnosing functional cognitive disorders, no definitive diagnostic criteria have been determined for these disorders, and the long-term prognosis of these disorders is also unknown.
