Survey on Advancements in Knowledge-Based Visual Question Answering using Large Language Models
Creators: name: JUNNUBABU, NOORBHASHA

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2024

description: Visual Question Answering (VQA) merges computer vision and natural language processing to enable systems to answer questions about images. It involves analyzing visual content to identify objects and scenes, interpreting the natural language question to understand its context, and integrating this information to generate accurate answers. Recent advancements leverage Large Language Models (LLMs) such as GPT-4, which enhance the system's ability to understand questions and improve reasoning, leading to more precise and contextually relevant answers. This comprehensive survey aims to explore the recent strides made in knowledge-based VQA leveraging LLMs, elucidating methodologies, challenges, and future directions. To comprehend the landscape of knowledge-based VQA, we first establish the foundational concepts of VQA and underscore the indispensable role played by LLMs in enhancing its performance. As the comprehension of visual content becomes increasingly intertwined with textual understanding, the incorporation of external sources such as knowledge graphs and textual corpora emerges as a critical strategy to enrich the semantic understanding capabilities of VQA systems. The survey begins by elucidating the foundational principles of  VQA and the pivotal role of LLMs in augmenting its capabilities.

description: Spectroscopic and theoretical investigations of the self-assembly of a particular 1,3,5-benzene trisamide-based low molecular weight hydrogelator are described. This trisamide is pH-sensitive, and surprisingly forms a photoluminescent supramolecular hydrogel. Controlled gel formation in combination with the luminescence properties allows studying the self-assembly process in detail. The experimental results are confirmed by Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations, revealing that the photoluminescence originates from the formation of a supramolecular chromophore.

Elle a, de plus, offert une contribution sur les plans methodologiques et pedagogiques. Meme si un grand nombre de recherches ont porte sur l'immersion francaise, peu se sont interessees a l'ecriture des diplomes de ce type de programme. La presente etude a chereche essentiellement a jeter de la lumiere sur les prises de decision lors du processus d'ecriture en L1 et en L2 chez les diplomes d'immersion francaise. Une partie d'un projet de recherche anterieur portant sur lecriture d'apprenants d'anglais L2 (Cumming, 1989) a ete reprise, ce qui a permis d'evaluer la pertinence des interpretations de l'auteur avec un groupe d'apprenants de L2 avances diplomes d'un programme d'immersion francaise. A cette fin, un groupe de diplomeses d'immersion francais a ete choisi en fonction de certains criteres (la L1 anglaise, le genre de programme d'immersion, le nombre d'heures d'enseignement en L2, etc.). Les dix-sept participants ont ete regroupes en fonction du niveau de savoir-ecrire en L1 (deux niveaux) et de competence globale en L2 (deux niveaux). Les prises de decision lors du processus d'ecriture en L1 et en L2 chez les memes participants ont ete comparees a l'aide d'une approche directe. Ces derniers ont redige un texte argumentatif en L1 lors d'une premiere recontre et un text argumentatif en L2 au moment d'une deuxieme rencontre. Un protocole verbal a ete produit pendant la redaction des deux textes afin qu'il soit possible de cerner le type de decisions prises pendant l'activite redactionnelle. Quatre questions de rechereche ont ete posees afin de permettre l'etude de l'ecriture des diplomes d'immersion sous differents angles, a savoir leur production ecrite en L2, leurs processus d'ecriture en L1 et en L2, et enfin le lien entre leur processus d'ecriture et leur production ecrite en L2.

description: Although crucial for the translation as a process and as a phenomenon, reading is not systematically examined in the translation studies: the main issue considered and analyzed is the existence or not of a particular mode of reading during the translation process. Most academics concur in the fact that reading in order to translate is different from ordinary, silent reading and this paper deals with this particularity in order to stress the professional aspect of the translator's reading. An effort is made to show, through the examination of multiple forms of professional reading and concrete examples, that the translator's reading is mainly professional and marks the whole reading activity of the translator, who cannot read even for pleasure without identifying translation difficulties and solutions.

description: Speech is the most natural way for human communication, carrying the emotional state of the speaker that plays an important role in social interaction. Currently, many instant messaging apps offer the possibility of exchanging voice audios with other users. As a result, a great amount of voice data is generated every day, representing a new challenging approach for speech emotion recognition in real environments. In this study, we investigated emotion recognition from voice messages recorded in the wild using machine-learning algorithms. Unlike most research in this field, which use databases based on emotions evoked in lab environments, simulated by actors or subjectively selected from radio or TV talks, we created an ecological speech dataset with audios from real WhatsApp conversations of 30 Spanish speakers. Four external evaluators labelled each audio in terms of arousal and valence using the SelfAssessment Manikin (SAM) procedure. Pre-processing techniques were applied to the audios and different time and frequency domain features were extracted. Supervised machine learning classifiers were computed using feature reduction and hyper-parameter tuning in order to recognize the affective state of each voice message. The best recognition rate was obtained with Support Vector Machines, achieving 71.37% along the arousal dimension and 70.73% along the valence dimension. These results support the use of emotion recognition models on daily communication apps, helping to understand social human behavior and their interactions with devices in the real world.
Evaluation of selective strategies for the prevention of criminal homicide in China.
Creators: name: Li, Hui-Yu.
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 1993
Subjects: subject: Sociology, Criminology and Penology.

description: The legal theory of crime causation postulates three main strategies for crime control: (a) increasing inhibitory factors (those which might prevent actualization of criminal behaviour). Here the death penalty plays a part. (b) reducing facilitating factors (decreasing the availability of the prerequisites for the offence). Gun control legislation may be employed to this end, since it decreases the availability of lethal weapons. (c) controlling predisposing factors. If these are known, medical intervention is supposed, in some points of view, to be able to rectify them. Prevention of criminal homicide, like the prevention of most crime, takes two forms: first, the offender may be prevented from repeating an act; second: the non-offender may be prevented from ever committing his first criminal act. Two different types of strategies may be adopted: specific deterrence, directed at the offender after the act, and general deterrence, directed at potential offenders before acts are perpetrated. The death penalty operates as specific deterrence. The principle of general deterrence rests on the assumption that all persons are similar, and that threat of the death penalty will affect all members of a society equally. Gun control legislation is a strategy of reducing facilitating factors, directed at the general population and designed to prevent the commission of the act. Here, again, is the assumption that all persons are similar and that non-availability of prerequisite weapons will prevent the homicide. Medical interventions have been utilized, for offenders as well as for potential offenders. In both cases, however, a diagnosis of the anomaly must be first made. In the case of potential offenders, such a strategy requires investigating entire populations, an unrealistic and unfeasible project. The intent of this study is to determine which of these strategies would be most suitable for the control of homicide in China. (Abstract shortened by UMI.)
Benefits and risks of neonatal bacille Calmette-Guerin (BCG) vaccination among Aboriginal infants in Canada: Assessment by Markov model

description: Bacille Calmette-Guerin (BCG) vaccine is given to Canadian Aboriginal neonates in communities at high risk for tuberculosis (TB). However, severe reactions and deaths associated with the vaccine have been reported among infants born with immunodeficiency syndromes. A Markov model was developed to estimate the burden of TB among Canadian Aboriginal children, evaluate the effectiveness of BCG vaccination, and estimate threshold values for severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) incidence at which a BCG program will reduce quality-adjusted life expectancy. Estimated thresholds for SCID are lower than the rate reported in one North American Aboriginal population, regardless of the assumed risk of tuberculous infection. The possibility that Canadian Aboriginal children are at increased risk for SCID has serious implications for continued BCG use in this population. In this context, enhanced TB Control---including early detection and treatment of infection---may be a safer, more effective alternative.

description: Inclusive and sustainable industrial development implies environmental friendly industrial growth with positive implications for social targets such as employment generation. One of the most important options available to policymakers for reducing CO2 emissions is industrial energy efficiency, which is particularly relevant for the discussion on green industrialization. Despite this intuitive concept, the economics measurement toolkit still lacks a methodological framework to analyse the extent to which energy efficiency interventions can generate simultaneous economic, environmental and employment-related improvements to boost inclusive and sustainable industrial development. This study fills this gap by introducing an original approach based on input-output tables to estimate the impact of improvements in industrial energy efficiency on value added, employment and energy savings among industries in the Republic of North Macedonia. The results show that triple dividends are possible in terms of inclusive and sustainable industrial development. Whereas a positive impact on employment is found in every scenario, a positive outcome in terms of value added essentially depends on the country’s capacity to produce goods that accommodate firms’ increasing demand from their use of energy cost savings.

Range image compression.

Subjects: subject: Engineering, Electronics and Electrical.

description: Range Images, which are a representation of the surface of a 3-D object, are gaining popularity in many applications including CAD/CAM, multimedia and virtual reality. There is, thus, a need for compression of these 3-D images. Current standards for still image compression, such as JPEG, are not appropriate for such images because they have been designed specifically for intensity images. This has led us to develop a new compression method for range images. It first scans the image so that the pixels are arranged into a sequence. It then approximates this sequence by straight line segments within a user-specified maximum tolerance level. The extremities of the straight-line segments within a user-specified maximum tolerance level. The extremities of the straight-line segments are non-redundant points (NRPs). Huffman coding, with a fixed Huffman tree, is used to encode the distance between NRPs and their altitudes. A plane-filling scanning technique, known as Peano scanning, is used to improve performance. The algorithms performance is assessed on range images acquired from the Institute for Information Technology of the National Research Council of Canada. The proposed method performs better than JPEG for any given maximum tolerance level. The adaptive mode of the algorithm is also presented along with its performance assessment.

Structure, timing, and model of emplacement of the Rose Blanche Granites, southwestern Newfoundland.
Creators: name: Genkin, Mikhail B.
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 1997
Subjects: subject: Geology.

description: The Rose Blanche Granites are a suite of two-mica granites emplaced within amphibolite-grade metasediments of the Harbour Le Cou Group (Exploits subzone of the Dunnage Zone, Central Mobile Belt), in the Appalachians of SW Newfoundland. Regional D$\sb2$ is a result of oblique collision of the St. Lawrence and Cabot promontories, while D$\sb3$ is a result of orogen-parallel transpression. Bedding and bedding sub-parallel S$\sb1$ in the Harbour Le Cou wall rocks has been transposed and overprinted by S$\sb2$--the dominant regional fabric which contains a well-developed stretching lineation L$\sb2.$ The Rose Blanche Granite suite consists of a multitude of cm- to km-scale sheets and dykes, which are both concordant with, and cut across S$\sb2,$ and include xenoliths with S$\sb2$ fabrics. Some of the larger plutons are demonstrably laccoliths, and often occur in association with anatectic migmatites. Anisotropy of Magnetic Susceptibility analysis was carried out for 34 sites collected from three large-scale intrusions. Dominantly low values of magnetic susceptibility $\rm(K\sb{m}\le200$ SI) indicate that in the majority of samples it is dominated by biotite, although in some, accessory amounts of ilmenite and late magnetite make a contribution. In the majority of samples the Anisotropy of Magnetic Susceptibility fabric represents an indirect estimation of biotite shape preferred orientation. Microstructures observed in the Rose Blanche Granites are indicative of solid-state, amphibolite-grade deformation. The data support the interpretation that the suite was intruded syn-D$\sb2,$ during peak metamorphic conditions. (Abstract shortened by UMI.)
La fin des fréquentations avec violence chez les étudiantes universitaires : la prédiction de la rupture à partir de l'intention et de ses déterminants.

description: La présente recherche porte sur les facteurs permettant de prédire la rupture d'une fréquentation de violence, utilisant comme cadre théorique la théorie du comportement planifié (Ajzen, I., 1985, 1988, 1991). Elle cherche à démontrer un lien entre l'intention de cesser la fréquentation et la rupture proprement dite, et à prédire l'intention à partir de trois déterminants: l'attitude comportementale, qui est l'attitude de la personne à l'égard de la cessation de la relation, la norme subjective, qui correspond à la perception que se fait la répondante quant à l'opinion des personnes importantes pour elle au sujet de la rupture, et enfin la perception de contrôles comportementaux, qui englobent les ressources et les obstacles associés à la rupture. L'étude a également pour objet de déterminer la relation entre les déterminants et les croyances. Finalement, elle explore l'influence de trois variables externes, soit l'intimité de la relation, la durée de la relation et la gravité de la violence sur la force de l'intention de cesser la fréquentation de violence. Les participantes ( n = 138) sont des étudiantes célibataires n'habitant pas avec leurs partenaires et qui se disent victimes de violence physique, de violence psychologique, ou d'agression à caractère sexuel, recrutées dans des cours d'introduction à la psychologie dans deux universités ontariennes. Les hypothèses sont vérifiées par des corrélations bivariées et des régressions multiples. Les résultats concordent, en partie, avec les prévisions tirées de la théorie du comportement planifié. Comme nous le supposions, la rupture d'une fréquentation de violence est prédite à partir de l'intention exprimée à cet égard. Cependant, seules l'attitude comportementale et la norme subjective sont prédictives de l'intention. Les corrélations entre les croyances et les déterminants sont positives et significatives. L'intimité de la relation améliore la prédiction de l'intention. L'intimité et la durée de la relation et la gravité de la violence sont associées à la rupture par l'entremise des croyances.

Mixed-marriage in the Code of Canons of the Eastern Churches and the particular law of the Syro-Malabar Church
Creators: name: Payyappilly, Sebastian

Year: 2008
Subjects: subject: Religion, General.
subject: Law.

description: This study, consisting of three chapters, is a systematic analysis of the canons on mixed marriage in CCEO and the particular legislation recently promulgated by the Syro-Malabar Major Archiepiscopal Church sui iuris. The study has two principle dimensions, namely juridical and pastoral. The juridical aspect focuses primarily on the legislative norms governing the canonical form of mixed marriage as found in legislation of Eastern Catholic Churches and the particular law of the Syro-Malabar Church and the pastoral aspect comprises mainly of practical inquiry. While recognizing the competence of the civil authorities with respect to the civil effects of marriage (cf. CCEO c. 780 §1; CIC c. 1059), the Church, through appropriate laws, shows its responsibility of protecting the natural and divine institution of marriage from possible dangers to the faith of the Catholic spouse and the children. The present legislation on mixed marriage is pre-eminently pastoral and ecumenical in its approach. In this regard this study examines different concrete or existential problems faced by those contracting mixed marriage, the study indicates approaches, which are more likely to respond effectively to the pastoral care of those contemplating mixed marriage and their families. It also offers a critical review of the existing legislation, both common and particular, and provides some pastorally useful suggestions concerning effective care of those who might plan on entering upon a mixed marriage or those who are already in a mixed marriage situation. The Syro-Malabar Church has taken courageous and commendable steps in bringing its governance in line with the Code of Canons of the Eastern Churches. This is particularly evident in the legislation the Syro-Malabar Church has enacted on mixed marriage and the pastoral care of the mixed marriage families.

description: In this chapter, I describe collaborative autoethnography—the methodology which was chosen for this book. In order to clearly explain this methodology, I explore my own journey as I moved into social science research, discovered autoethnography, and subsequently encountered collaborative autoethnography. Through my reflections, I highlight the knowledge which can be gained through purposeful exploration of personal experience. I also demonstrate how, when multiple autoethnographers work together, the resulting collaboration creates a profound synergy and harmony of voices which cannot be achieved by an individual alone. Finally, I present the specific framework used to apply the collaborative autoethnography methodology in this book.
Voice-enabled click and dial system

Subjects: subject: Engineering, System Science.

description: This thesis is targeted at proposing a framework for building a voice-enabled web application which allows users to interact with the system through the Internet, using either speech (microphone, speaker) or traditional devices (such as keyboard or mouse). Several voice-related technologies are briefly described in the beginning of this thesis. The original design of the Click&Dial system was modified and enhanced in order to adopt a popular J2EE framework named Struts. Compared with SALT, XHTML plus Voice and Voice XML, SALT is chosen as the main technology for building the speech-enabled web application. The architecture of integrating voice into the web application is presented, and the framework is implemented. With the help of it, the speech-based components are demonstrated to be embedded easily into the system, and the simplicity of the migration is guaranteed as well. The proposed system, with both visual interface and voice interface, is designed and developed using Java-based technology combined with embedded speech engines. The implementation successfully verifies that the proposed framework meets the design requirements and is capable of supporting two kinds of user interfaces for a web application, and the targeted objective is achieved. Additionally, a possible solution for voice-activated Click&Dial system on Pocket PCs is recommended, which enables the voice-enabled application to be accessed easily from anywhere using hand-held devices in the future.

description: Des recherches récentes ont démontré que des stéréotypes négatifs relatifs aux habiletés des membres de certains groupes dans des domaines précis peuvent interférer avec leur performance par induction d'un sentiment de menace (voir Steele, 1997). Cette thèse a pour but de démontrer que le stéréotype concernant les habiletés des femmes en mathématiques interfère avec leur performance. De plus, cette thèse vise à verifier si l'infirmation de ce stéréotype peut être responsable d'une contre-performance des hommes. Un total de 132 participants ont été assignés soit à une condition neutre, de confirmation ou d'infirmation du stéréotype et ont été soumis à une tâche de vérification d'opérations arithmétiques. Les résultats démontrent qu'en condition de confirmation du stéréotype, la performance des femmes est affectée négativement, alors que celle de hommes se détériore lorsque le stéréotype est infirme. La discussion porte sur les implications de ces résultats dans l'identification des mécanismes enjeu en situation de menace du stéréotype.

description: In this chapter, I describe collaborative autoethnography—the methodology which was chosen for this book. In order to clearly explain this methodology, I explore my own journey as I moved into social science research, discovered autoethnography, and subsequently encountered collaborative autoethnography. Through my reflections, I highlight the knowledge which can be gained through purposeful exploration of personal experience. I also demonstrate how, when multiple autoethnographers work together, the resulting collaboration creates a profound synergy and harmony of voices which cannot be achieved by an individual alone. Finally, I present the specific framework used to apply the collaborative autoethnography methodology in this book.

description: With recent experimental evidence, it has been shown that RNA (ribonucleic acid) plays a greater role in various cellular functions than previously thought. With the increasing number of known RNA families a need arises to develop computational techniques to analyze RNA sequences. An array of evolutionary related RNA sequences believed to contain signals at both the sequence and structure levels can be exploited to detect motifs common to all or a portion of those sequences. Finding these similar structural features can provide substantial information as to which parts of the sequence are functional. Recently, Nguyen (M.A.Sc thesis, Electrical Engineering, University of Ottawa, 2004) introduced a novel approach for discovering consensus secondary structure motifs in a set of unaligned RNA sequences. The algorithm has been implemented in a software system called Seed. The aim of this thesis is to devise, implement and evaluate (3) scoring schemes for the software system. The first scoring scheme is based on the sum of the thermodynamics free energy, based on the nearest neighbor model. We then present a general framework for evaluation of RNA structures using statistical regression analysis. The third scoring scheme to be validated is based on the framework of minimum description length principle. We implemented and validated the above scoring schemes on four different data sets having varying range of complexity. The first two were derived from selected members of UTRdb database where the coding region is flanked by two untranslated regions (5' UTR and 3' UTR). The others were assembled using a subset of the sequences from Masoumi and Turcotte (IJBRA, 1(2), 230--245, 2005). By three measures, positive predicted value, sensitivity and Matthews correlation coefficient, our methods performed well on the data sets and showed significant ranking statistics. Also, our first method compares favorably with state-of-the-art tool, RNAprofile. For small motifs, the scoring methods are able to rank motifs with high PPV/sensitivity, often 100%. The top ranked motifs were used as input constraints for MFOLD, a widely used tool for RNA secondary structure determination. They showed improvements in both PPV and sensitivity measurements of the foldings made.

Spectroscopic investigations of perfluoroarene: Arene interactions in solution involving hexafluorobenzene
Creators: name: Perry, Mark A
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2008
Subjects: subject: Chemistry, Physical.

description: This thesis focuses on common spectroscopic techniques to measure the photophysical consequences of perfluoroarene:arene interactions in solution. The perfluoroarene in these studies was hexafluorobenzene (C6F 6) since it structurally and electronically represents the simplest of all perfluorinated aromatic molecules. The goal of this thesis was to create a library of perfluoroarene:arene interactions and use them to influence chemical reactivity in the excited state both efficiently and predictably. The first chapter outlines the spectroscopic techniques employed, and explains the foundation of this project from solid-state applications. The remaining chapters detail perfluoroarene:arene interactions observed, spectroscopically, in solution. Chapter 2 is a thorough study on the pre-association of pyrene:C6F6 and the impact C6F6 had on the photophysics of dilute and concentrated pyrene solutions. The third chapter summarizes the photophysical results from a variety of rigid polyaromatic molecules, and one flexible polyaromatic (biphenyl). A practical application of this work was observed with nanosecond laser flash photolysis studies outlined in Chapter 4, while the search for other practical applications with quantum dots, oxygen- and carbon-centered radicals in the presence of C6F 6 is detailed in Chapter 5.

description: The production and consumption of animal source foods is central to the ongoing discussion of global food systems. The objectives of this report are first to describe the patterns and changing structures of the Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) livestock sector and secondly to explore innovations that can help to address the complex trade-offs involved in investing in the development of a sustainable livestock sector. The report reviews trends in consumption, production and trade of major livestock commodities and feed in the four subregions of SSA and presents an overview of key issues facing the sector. A scenario for the SSA livestock sector in 2030 is developed using the IMPACT model. It shows significant growth of production across all major livestock commodities with poultry and pork growing faster than ruminant meat production. A series of technical and institutional innovations show opportunities to address the challenges of sustainably intensifying livestock production in SSA. They include improved forages, improved fodder conservation, artificial insemination combined with estrus synchronization, intensive beekeeping, livestock masterplans, livestock asset transfer programs, indexbased livestock insurance and livestock market information systems. The report concludes that livestock plays multiple key roles in the food systems in SSA and will continue to do so in the coming years. The complexity of the system and the multiple trade-offs imply a need for policy makers to shift from frequent “benign neglect” to actively invest in the analytical capacity to understand the changing roles and issues in SSA livestock development. In spite of important divergences on the future role, opportunities and risks associated with livestock production and consumption, developed economies and SSA nations will benefit from international scientific cooperation to jointly tackle the complex issues facing livestock production as part of the envisaged global food system.

description: Climate change models predict an increase in the frequency of droughts and the intensity of hurricanes for the Caribbean. The objective of this study was to evaluate and contrast the macroinvertebrate assemblage response of a forested stream to drought and hurricane disturbances. Puerto Rico experienced a drought event in 2015 and two major category hurricanes in September of 2017 (hurricanes Irma and María; Categories 5 and 4, respectively). We evaluated macroinvertebrate richness and abundance of two headwater streams (Quebrada Prieta A and B) located in the El Yunque National Forest, Puerto Rico. Monthly macroinvertebrate sampling was carried out using corers in pool habitats from October 2016 – August 2019 in QPA and from February 2014 – August 2019 in QPB. Analysis of similarity (ANOSIM) was performed to compare macroinvertebrate assemblage structure among pre-drought, post-drought, pre-hurricane, post-hurricane, and short-term post-hurricane periods. Drought conditions resulted in an increase for both richness and abundance compared to the pre-drought and post-drought periods. Immediate hurricane impacts (September 2017) resulted in a decrease in both richness and abundance compared to other hurricane periods. The new environmental conditions created by the drought did not result in significant differences between the compared periods, while those created by the hurricanes did result in significant differences between the macroinvertebrate assemblage structures of the compared periods. Evaluating the biotic response of benthic communities to these disturbances is critical to understand how future climate change conditions will impact the fauna of protected tropical zones.
