A trustless architecture for blockchain-based IoT applications using constrained devices
Creators: name: Pincheira Caro, Miguel Rodrigo
Publisher: name: Universit� degli studi di Trento
Year: 2021

description: Despite the increasing interest in blockchain as a possible solution to replace centralized IoT architectures, previous work failed to provide a direct role for the sensing devices, i.e., direct interaction with the blockchain without additional components. Moreover, few studies focus on permissionless blockchains, even if it is the most secure platform for developing blockchain-based applications. This thesis presents an architecture that considers constrained sensing devices as direct actors on a public blockchain network. A public blockchain network allows the seamless inclusion of several unknown actors, and smart contracts provide a platform to develop complex IoT applications. The research followed an iterative DSR approach; designing, building, and evaluating new IT artifacts using two case studies in the agricultural IoT domain. These cases fostered two exploratory studies that diverged from the main IoT domain; however, they also provide novel contributions to blockchain-based applications. Thus, the novel architecture tackles three problems of current blockchain-based IoT systems i) constrained sensing devices as direct actors on a blockchain system, ii) permissionless blockchain networks and iii) smart contracts as an IoT application platform. Furthermore, the exploratory analyses examine two challenges of blockchain-based applications i) user experience and monetary costs and ii) data sharing and decentralized storage.

description: Purpose: This study aimed to (a) provide speech-language pathologists and researchers with a play-based procedure to measure the expression of spoken communicative intents by children aged 3 to 4.5 years and (b) present indicators of these children’s capacity to produce these intents in this context. Method: A method inspired by TRIAGE (Technique de Recherche d’Informations par Animation d’un Group d’Experts) allowed an advisory group of 16 speech-language pathologists to select and agree on definitions of intents to include in this procedure, among a set of 13 preselected intents based on the scientific literature. A longitudinal design including four measuring times was used to verify the production of these intents by 99 French-speaking children (46 boys; Mage = 36.09 months) at 36, 42, 48, and 54 months using the Neighborhood Game, a previously developed elicitation procedure of communicative intents conducted within the context of symbolic play. For each measurement time, the average percentage of children who had produced each intent at least 3 times was calculated with a 95% confidence interval. Nonparametric analysis of variance for longitudinal data was carried out to verify progression with age. Results: A finalized list of eight communicative intents was selected along with their definition and a standardized script to elicit them during symbolic play. The production frequency of most intents showed significant progression between the first and the fourth measurement time. Arguing is the only intent that is still not produced by more than 90% of children at the age of 54 months. Conclusions: This study led to the development of an assessment procedure, which presents ecological validity and elicits the expression of eight communicative intents among 3- to 4.5-year-olds. This procedure can support the work of speech-language pathologists and researchers. The accompanying indicators of children’s capacity to produce these intents at a given age in this kind of context are a notable addition to the knowledge on typical language development.

description: We develop quantum electrodynamics into a kinetic-theory-like evolution equation for electrons, positrons and photons. To keep the "collision rules" simple, we make use of longitudinal and temporal photons in addition to the usual transverse photons. For our explicitly time-dependent approach, we introduce proper time-correlation functions. We then develop a stochastic simulation technique for solving the resulting kinetic equation and we comment on the subtleties associated with gauge invariance, Lorentz invariance and divergent integrals. To illustrate the validity and power of the proposed ideas, we show how a very simple simulation of the dynamics of field quanta can be used to obtain the main contribution to the anomalous magnetic moment of the electron.

Educational assortative mating and the rise of hypogamy: causes and consequences
Creators: name: Corti, Giulia
Publisher: name: Universit� degli studi di Trento
Year: 2021

description: The dissertation explores recent trends in educational assortative mating in Western countries. In particular, the rise of hypogamy is analyzed, focusing on its causes and consequences. The dissertation aims at providing new evidence on issues concerning the rise of hypogamy at the individual level. As for its causes, changes in the partner market composition are analyzed in a life course perspective as a possible driver of hypogamy, underlining the dynamic nature of its role during the partner search. Moreover, elements from the social psychology field such as the activation of behaviors to find a partner are analyzed. Finally, the dissertation studies how partner choice shapes processes of social reproduction, and in particular educational reproduction. A penalty for hypogamy is found among higher educated women, but it does not persist across generations. The dissertation provides two main contributions to the literature. First, it provides evidence of the relevance of adopting a life-course approach when looking at dynamics of union formation, and in particular hypogamy. Second, it provides evidence of the importance of partner choice for social reproduction processes, especially among women.

Portfolio optimization in presence of a self-exciting jump process: from theory to practice
Creators: name: Veronese, Andrea
Publisher: name: Universit� degli studi di Trento
Year: 2022

description: We aim at generalizing the celebrated portfolio optimization problem "� la Merton", where the asset evolution is steered by a self-exciting jump-diffusion process. We first define the rigorous mathematical framework needed to introduce the stochastic optimal control problem we are interesting in. Then, we provide a proof for a specific version of the Dynamic Programming Principle (DPP) with respect to the general class of self-exciting processes under study. After, we state the Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman (HJB) equation, whose solution gives the value function for the corresponding optimal control problem. The resulting HJB equation takes the form of a Partial-Integro Differential Equation (PIDE), for which we prove both existence and uniqueness for the solution in the viscosity sense. We further derive a suitable numerical scheme to solve the HJB equation corresponding to the portfolio optimizationproblem. To this end, we also provide a detailed study of solution dependence on the parameters of the problem. The analysis is performed by calibrating the model on ENI asset levels during the COVID-19 worldwide breakout. In particular, the calibration routine is based on a sophisticated Sequential Monte Carlo algorithm.
Knowledge Extraction from Biomedical Literature with Symbolic and Deep Transfer Learning Methods

Publisher: name: Universit� degli studi di Trento
Year: 2021

description: The available body of biomedical literature is increasing at a high pace, exceeding the ability of researchers to promptly leverage this knowledge-rich amount of information. Although the outstanding progress in natural language processing (NLP) we observed in the past few years, current technological advances in the field mainly concern newswire and web texts, and do not directly translate in good performance on highly specialized domains such as biomedicine due to linguistic variations along surface, syntax and semantic levels. Given the advances in NLP and the challenges the biomedical domain exhibits, and the explosive growth of biomedical knowledge being currently published, in this thesis we contribute to the biomedical NLP field by providing efficient means for extracting semantic relational information from biomedical literature texts. To this end, we made the following contributions towards the real-world adoption of knowledge extraction methods to support biomedicine: (i) we propose a symbolic high-precision biomedical relation extraction approach to reduce the time-consuming manual curation efforts of extracted relational evidence (Chapter 3), (ii) we conduct a thorough cross-domain study to quantify the drop in performance of deep learning methods for biomedical edge detection shedding lights on the importance of linguistic varieties in biomedicine (Chapter 4), and (iii) we propose a fast and accurate end-to-end solution for biomedical event extraction, leveraging sequential transfer learning and multi-task learning, making it a viable approach for real-world large-scale scenarios (Chapter 5). We then outline the conclusions by highlighting challenges and providing future research directions in the field.

description: Purpose: Poststroke communication deficits (PSCD) are common following stroke. Early and intensive speech and language therapy is recommended to maximize outcomes. We wanted to test the feasibility of providing telerehabilitation for patients with PSCD using mobile tablet-based technology to bridge the gap between acute stroke care and outpatient speech-language therapy (SLT) services. Method: This was a prospective, randomized, open-label, blinded end-point design. Patients were randomized to either the treatment arm (mobile tablet) or the control arm (standard of care). The study duration was either 8 weeks or when the patient was called to start outpatient SLT services, whichever occurred first. The primary outcome was feasibility, while secondary objective was to assess patient engagement and to explore improvement in communication ability. Results: We had a 38% recruitment rate, with a 100% retention rate for the treatment arm and a 50% retention rate for the control arm. Fifty percent of patients in the treatment arm adhered to the recommended 1 hr per day, whereas none of the control arm did. Patients were engaged in using the mobile tablet and feedback on the protocol was positive. Conclusions: SLT using telerehabilitation via mobile technology is feasible in the very early stages of acute stroke recovery. It is potentially an effective means of bridging the gap between discharge from the acute care setting to the start of outpatient SLT services.

description: In the context of dark energy solutions, we consider a Friedmann-Robertson-Walker spacetime filled with a non-interacting mixture of dust and a viscous fluid, whose bulk viscosity is governed by the nonlinear model proposed in [15]. Through a phase space analysis of the equivalent dynamical system, existence and stability of critical solutions are established and the respective scale factors are computed. The results point towards the possibility of describing the current accelerated expansion of the Universe by means of the abovementioned nonlinear model for viscosity.

Noise and Hotel Revenue Management in Simulation-based Optimization
Creators: name: Dalcastagn�, Manuel
Publisher: name: Universit� degli studi di Trento
Year: 2021

description: Several exact and approximate dynamic programming formulations have already been proposed to solve hotel revenue management (RM) problems. To obtain tractable solutions, these methods are often bound by simplifying assumptions which prevent their application on large and dynamic complex systems. This dissertation introduces HotelSimu, a flexible simulation-based optimization approach for hotel RM, and investigates possible approaches to increase the efficiency of black-box optimization methods in the presence of noise. In fact, HotelSimu employs black-box optimization and stochastic simulation to find the dynamic pricing policy which is expected to maximize the revenue of a given hotel in a certain period of time. However, the simulation output is noisy and different solutions should be compared in a statistically significant manner. Various black-box heuristics based on variations of random local search are investigated and integrated with statistical analysis techniques in order to manage efficiently the optimization budget.
Il sistema tavolare italiano: analisi comparata di un modello

description: Obiettivo della tesi di ricerca � lo studio comparato dei sistemi di registrazione immobiliare e, in particolare, del modello tavolare italiano. Tale sistema pubblicitario si caratterizza per essere vigente solo in alcuni territori del nostro ordinamento e, pi� precisamente, in quelli un tempo facenti parte dell'Impero Austroungarico, annessi al Regno d'Italia a seguito della Prima guerra mondiale. Il lavoro si propone di svolgere un'analisi strutturale del Libro fondiario, in comparazione con i sistemi italiano della trascrizione, austriaco e tedesco, al fine di individuare le peculiarit� del modello e studiarne la natura. A conclusione della ricerca si potr� verificare, infatti, come le principali caratteristiche di tale sistema siano in realt� riconducibili al processo di adattamento al diritto sostanziale italiano che il registro ha affrontato, oltre che alla natura di enclave normativa che tutt'ora esso assume nell'ordinamento italiano. La prima parte della tesi � dedicata ad una panoramica dei differenti modelli di registrazione dei sistemi facenti parte della tradizione giuridica occidentale, a cui segue un'analisi sui diversi meccanismi che disciplinano la trasmissione dei diritti reali per atto inter vivos, mortis causa nonch� a titolo originario per usucapione. L'ultima parte della ricerca si delinea invece in uno studio di tipo strutturale e ha lo scopo di analizzare i meccanismi di adattamento e di evoluzione dei singoli modelli. Dal punto di vista metodologico, il presente lavoro si basa sull'applicazione di uno dei principali strumenti della scienza giuridica comparatistica, ovvero la teoria dei formanti sviluppata da Rodolfo Sacco, a cui si affianca l'utilizzo di dottrine proprie della law and economics e analisi di carattere spiccatamente privatistico.
Advanced Methodologies for Planning and Scheduling Payload Operations for Planetary Exploration Missions

Publisher: name: Universit� degli studi di Trento
Year: 2022

description: Missions for planetary exploration are unique opportunities to provide very meaningful and high-valuable data about the analysed celestial bodies. These missions can characterize many aspects of them, thanks to the different remote sensing instruments included in their science payload. However, the observations in this context are influenced by complex constraints (e.g., limited resources, environment characteristics) and limitations, thus limiting the availability of acquisition opportunities. Hence, an accurate planning and scheduling of the acquisition operations by the science payload instruments of a Planetary Exploration mission is a crucial task in the mission design. This requires the development of automatic methodologies to aid this delicate phase, which are capable of considering all the different constraints, the science requirements and the characteristics of the instruments in order to produce feasible observation schedules that are optimized with respect to the acquisition quality. In this context, this thesis provides two main contributions related to: i) the analysis and the scheduling of the acquisitions by a single instrument and ii) the extension of the study to the simultaneous scheduling of the observations by multiple instruments. The first novel contribution presents a methodology for the automatic scheduling of the acquisition operations of a single instrument for planetary exploration missions. The presented methodology is based on 2 main phases and it uses a multi-objective optimization technique to produce an acquisition schedule, optimized with respect to the scientific requirements and the characteristics of the considered sensor and the mission constraints. The second contribution addresses the complexity of automatically generating and harmonizing observation schedules for multiple instruments simultaneously. The proposed method models the problem as a bilevel optimization task. At the lower level the acquisition schedule for each sensor is produced and evaluated, considering all the instrument-related requirements and limitations. At the upper level the harmonization of the individual sensor schedules is performed, considering all the mission- and resource-related constraints and maximizing the overall quality and science return. The proposed methods have been applied considering in detail the operations of radar sounder instruments. In particular, the first methodology has been tested on the observations by RIME, radar sounder of the JUICE mission and the second considered RIME and three other instruments of the same missions. The obtained results show the effectiveness of the proposed techniques, which aim at increasing the level of automation in the data acquisition planning and scheduling phase in Planetary Exploration missions.

description: Introduction:Achieving adequate retention rates in clinical trials is essential to ensuring meaningful results. Although financial reimbursement is an effective strategy to increase participant retention, current policies restrict the use of federal funds to reimburse U.S. active duty Service members for research participation. It is unknown whether permitting financial reimbursement among this population would improve trial retention rates. A recent randomized effectiveness trial received approval to provide reimbursement to Service member participants several months after recruitment began, creating a natural experiment to study the effects of financial reimbursement on retention. Materials and methods:Active duty Service members recruited from six U.S. military treatment facilities (N = 666) were enrolled in a collaborative care study and completed assessments at baseline, three-, six-, and 12-months. Data on study assessment completion rates at three- and six-months were analyzed using the mixed-effects binary logit model to determine the probabilities of completing assessments based on reimbursement status. Results:Participants who received reimbursement were significantly more likely to complete study assessments at both time-points than participants who did not receive reimbursement (p < 0.01). Survey completion was 5% and 4% greater among participants offered reimbursement at three- and six-month time-points, respectively. Conclusion:Results suggest that providing Service members with reimbursement for research participation is associated with modest increases in retention rates in clinical trials. Findings provide useful insight for researchers, funding agencies, and policy-makers in considering retention strategies to maximize the value and impact of military research.

description: The objective of this study (within TRESURE project) was to examine the effects of breed, tissue location and gender on the cholesterol content in different tissues of local Lithuanian pig breeds. The study was carried out on 24 Lithuanian White and 18 Lithuanian indigenous wattle pigs, 28 females and 14 castrated males. All pigs received a complete concentrate feed. Pork composition and properties were detected according to the EU reference methods. The cholesterol content was determined by HPLC analysis using the system Shimadzu 10Avp. The data were subject to the analysis of variance in general linear (GLM) procedure in SPSS 17. The model included the fixed effect of breed, gender, tissue location and feeding level. LSD significance test was used to determine the significance of differences of means between the groups. The comparisons of local conserved Lithuanian breeds showed negligible differences in the longissimus muscle fat content, however semimembranosus muscle of Lithuanian White pigs had higher fat content than the same muscle of Lithuanian indigenous wattle pigs (P<0.05). Although longissimus muscle from both Lithuanian pig breeds has lower contents of cholesterol (P<0.01) compared with the conventional hybrids, the differences between Lithuanian breeds were not large. Only the backfat of Lithuanian White pigs had higher content of cholesterol than the backfat from Lithuanian indigenous wattle pigs (P<0.05). The lowest contents of cholesterol were found in the backfat (P<0.001) and the highest contents in the semimembranosus muscle from both breeds, however, the differences between the muscles were not significant. The gender of pigs showed its effect on the semimembranosus cholesterol content (P<0.05): females had higher content of cholesterol than castrated males. Cholesterol contents in both muscles showed negative correlations with pig age (P<0.001). In the semimembranosus muscle cholesterol content showed negative correlation with pig weight (P<0.05). Negative correlations were also found between backfat thickness and cholesterol content in backfat. Funded by European Union’s H2020 RIA program (grant agreement no. 634476).

description: In a recent paper by Hellerstein [15], a tight relationship was conjectured between the number of strata of a Datalog${}^\neg$ program and the number of "coordination stages" required for its distributed computation. Indeed, Ameloot et al. [9] showed that a query can be computed by a coordination-free relational transducer network iff it is monotone, thus answering in the affirmative a variant of Hellerstein's CALM conjecture, based on a particular definition of coordination-free computation. In this paper, we present three additional models for declarative networking. In these variants, relational transducers have limited access to the way data is distributed. This variation allows transducer networks to compute more queries in a coordination-free manner: e.g., a transducer can check whether a ground atom $A$ over the input schema is in the "scope" of the local node, and then send either $A$ or $\neg A$ to other nodes. We show the surprising result that the query given by the well-founded semantics of the unstratifiable win-move program is coordination-free in some of the models we consider. We also show that the original transducer network model [9] and our variants form a strict hierarchy of classes of coordination-free queries. Finally, we identify different syntactic fragments of Datalog${}^{\neg\neg}_{\forall}$, called semi-monotone programs, which can be used as declarative network programming languages, whose distributed computation is guaranteed to be eventually consistent and coordination-free.

description: Purpose: Understanding what is known about the language profiles of children with hearing loss (CHL) is vital so that researchers and teachers can identify the specific complex syntactic structures that CHL may struggle to master. An understanding of which aspects of complex syntax pose difficulties for CHL is necessary to inform the kind of intervention that will facilitate learning complex syntax for this cohort of children. This scoping review aims to identify what is currently known about the complex syntax use of CHL who communicate through spoken language, and uncover gaps in the literature to guide further research. Method: Ascoping review was conducted following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses Extension for Scoping Reviews guidelines. The Covidence software was utilized to manage the initial and full-text screening process for the search. Results: From a total of 304 studies, 42 studies were identified that met the eligibility criteria. The review highlights the use of broad-based language assessments and limited use of specific descriptions of the types of complex syntactic structures and skills. Conclusions: Findings highlight the need for assessment protocols and analysis methods that better support the description of complex syntax profiles for CHL. School-age CHL continue to display challenges with complex syntax development. The review highlighted the need for further research to improve understanding of the complex syntax strengths and vulnerabilities of CHL. Further investigation is needed to better understand their ability to combine ideas and build complexity in their language use, which in turn can inform teaching in schools and interventions for children who require support.

description: The traditional raising system for Iberian pigs includes an open-air fattening period (montanera) where animals have a diet dominated by acorns. This system allows obtaining dry-cured products of unmatched quality. The most usual method for the verification of montanera products relies on assessing the particular backfat fatty acid composition after slaughter. Given that the advances on nutrition science makes feasible to emulate montanera meat products in an industrial farming environment, there is a growing need for the identification of complementary certification approaches. The objective of this study of TREASURE project was to evaluate the potential of gut microbiota composition analyses from faecal samples collected at slaughter as a new discrimination method of the montanera production system. Gut microbiota composition of 131 Iberian pigs (92 montanera and 131 commercial feeds) was determined by re-sequencing the bacterial 16S gene in an Illumina MiSeq device. Bioinformatic analyses were performed using Qiime’s subsampled open-reference OTU calling method. NMDS and PERMANOVA analyses performed using the Vegan R package showed significant effects of diet and sampling batch on gut microbiota composition. The microbiota of montanera-raised pigs showed a tendency towards a reduced microbial diversity. Differential abundance analyses performed with the metagenomeSeq R package confirmed these differences by identifying 997 out of 1,703 OTUs whose abundance was significantly different between both systems. Our results suggest that the gut microbiota composition of Iberian pigs sampled at the slaughter could be used as a supplementary certification tool of traditional montanera Iberian pigs.

description: We propose a real-time machine translation system that allows users to select a news category and to translate the related live news articles from Arabic, Czech, Danish, Farsi, French, German, Italian, Polish, Portuguese, Spanish and Turkish into English. The Moses-based system was optimised for the news domain and differs from other available systems in four ways: (1) News items are automatically categorised on the source side, before translation; (2) Named entity translation is optimised by recognising and extracting them on the source side and by re-inserting their translation in the target language, making use of a separate entity repository; (3) News titles are translated with a separate translation system which is optimised for the specific style of news titles; (4) The system was optimised for speed in order to cope with the large volume of daily news articles.
Bio-inspired materials for spinal cord regeneration

description: This work proposes minimally invasive solutions for spinal cord regeneration after trauma. In particular, injectable biomaterials can be precisely positioned in the lesion site, and eventually repetitively injected until the complete regeneration of the tissue. For this application, a silk fibroin functionalized with collagen type IV and laminin-derived peptides, called bio-inspired multifunctionalized silk fibroin (BMS), possessing piezoelectric properties, has been synthesized. Another approach that avoids damages to the spinal cord is proposed in the thesis as a multilayer hydrogel with piezoelectric properties that acts as a bridge between the healthy parts surrounding the injury. The multilayer hydrogel consists of i) a thin-layer of gelatin and fish collagen functionalized with VEGF for blood vessels formation, which helps the survival of the cells integrating with the pia mater of the spinal cord; ii) a BMS layer, which helps the adhesion, migration of neural stem cells and induces the sprouting of the axons thanks to the presence of Netrin (a chemoattractive protein); and iii) an adhesive layer of polydopamine (PDA) to fix the patch on the injured site. The adhesive patch exhibits a potential larger than an injectable hydrogel that could guarantee a long-term cell survival and help the axons to move towards a direction. The adhesive patch will be located on the surface of the spinal cord and the chemoattractive protein will induce the sprouting of the ascendant or descendant axons in the spinal cord to reach the axons present in the patch, restoring a signal connection. Even if not final, the results indicate that the above strategy could be explored further for the regeneration of the spinal cord.
Complex language use in CHL: A scoping review (Klieve et al., 2023)

description: Purpose: Understanding what is known about the language profiles of children with hearing loss (CHL) is vital so that researchers and teachers can identify the specific complex syntactic structures that CHL may struggle to master. An understanding of which aspects of complex syntax pose difficulties for CHL is necessary to inform the kind of intervention that will facilitate learning complex syntax for this cohort of children. This scoping review aims to identify what is currently known about the complex syntax use of CHL who communicate through spoken language, and uncover gaps in the literature to guide further research. Method: Ascoping review was conducted following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses Extension for Scoping Reviews guidelines. The Covidence software was utilized to manage the initial and full-text screening process for the search. Results: From a total of 304 studies, 42 studies were identified that met the eligibility criteria. The review highlights the use of broad-based language assessments and limited use of specific descriptions of the types of complex syntactic structures and skills. Conclusions: Findings highlight the need for assessment protocols and analysis methods that better support the description of complex syntax profiles for CHL. School-age CHL continue to display challenges with complex syntax development. The review highlighted the need for further research to improve understanding of the complex syntax strengths and vulnerabilities of CHL. Further investigation is needed to better understand their ability to combine ideas and build complexity in their language use, which in turn can inform teaching in schools and interventions for children who require support.

Strategies for addressing performance concerns and bias in designing, running, and reporting crowdsourcing experiment

description: Crowdsourcing involves releasing tasks on the internet for people with diverse backgrounds and skills to solve. Its adoption has come a long way, from scaling up problem-solving to becoming an environment for running complex experiments. Designing tasks to obtain reliable results is not straightforward as it requires many design choices that grow with the complexity of crowdsourcing projects, often demanding multiple trial-and-error iterations to properly configure. These inherent characteristics of crowdsourcing, the complexity of the design space, and heterogeneity of the crowd, set quality control as a major concern, making it an integral part of task design. Despite all the progress and guidelines for developing effective tasks, crowdsourcing still is addressed as an ``art'' rather than an exact science, in part due to the challenges related to task design but also because crowdsourcing allows more complex use cases nowadays, where the support available has not yet caught up with this progress. This leaves researchers and practitioners at the forefront to often rely on intuitions instead of informed decisions. Running controlled experiments in crowdsourcing platforms is a prominent example. Despite their importance, experiments in these platforms are not yet first-class citizens, making researchers resort to building custom features to compensate for the lack of support, where pitfalls in this process may be detrimental to the experimental outcome. In this thesis, therefore, our goal is to attend to the need of moving crowdsourcing from art to science from two perspectives that interplay with each other: providing guidance on task design through experimentation, and supporting the experimentation process itself. First, we select classification problems as a use case, given their importance and pervasive nature, and aim to bring awareness, empirical evidence, and guidance to previously unexplored task design choices to address performance concerns. And second, we also aim to make crowdsourcing accessible to researchers and practitioners from all backgrounds, reducing the requirement of in-depth knowledge of known biases in crowdsourcing platforms, experimental methods, as well as programming skills to overcome the limitations of crowdsourcing providers while running experiments. We start by proposing task design strategies to address workers' performance, quality and time, in crowdsourced classification tasks. Then we distill the challenges associated with running controlled crowdsourcing experiments, propose coping strategies to address these challenges, and introduce solutions to help researchers report their crowdsourcing experiments, moving crowdsourcing forward to standardized reporting.

description: We discuss issues of problem formulation for algorithms in real algebraic geometry, focussing on quantifier elimination by cylindrical algebraic decomposition. We recall how the variable ordering used can have a profound effect on both performance and output and summarise what may be done to assist with this choice. We then survey other questions of problem formulation and algorithm optimisation that have become pertinent following advances in CAD theory, including both work that is already published and work that is currently underway. With implementations now in reach of real world applications and new theory meaning algorithms are far more sensitive to the input, our thesis is that intelligently formulating problems for algorithms, and indeed choosing the correct algorithm variant for a problem, is key to improving the practical use of both quantifier elimination and symbolic real algebraic geometry in general.
