description: Η παρούσα εργασία εξετάζει τον κρίσιμο ρόλο της ανάλυσης δεδομένων στον τομέα της υγείας και πώς αυτή μπορεί να συμβάλει στη βελτίωση της πολιτικής περίθαλψης και των αποτελεσμάτων υγείας. Η εκτενής χρήση των Μεγάλων Δεδομένων παρέχει νέες δυνατότητες για την αξιολόγηση των υπηρεσιών υγείας, τη λήψη τεκμηριωμένων αποφάσεων και τη βελτίωση της ποιότητας των παρεχόμενων υπηρεσιών και της αποτελεσματικότητας του συστήματος υγείας Τα Big Data στην υγειονομική περίθαλψη προκύπτουν από την αλματώδη αύξηση στη συλλογή και επεξεργασία μεγάλων όγκων δεδομένων, όπως ιατρικά αρχεία, απεικονιστικές εξετάσεις και πληροφορίες από συσκευές παρακολούθησης υγείας. Η ανάλυση αυτών των δεδομένων, μέσω προγνωστικών μοντέλων, επιτρέπει την εξαγωγή πολύτιμων συμπερασμάτων και προσφέρει νέες δυνατότητες για την υποστήριξη κλινικών αποφάσεων, τη παροχή εξατομικευμένων θεραπειών, τη πρόβλεψη μελλοντικών τάσεων υγείας και τη βελτίωση της ποιότητας των υπηρεσιών. Επιπλέον, η εργασία εστιάζει στη δυνατότητα που παρέχουν τα Big Data στη μείωση του κόστους της περίθαλψης, στον εξορθολογισμό των δαπανών, στη σωστή κατανομή των πόρων, στην αναγνώριση των πιο αποδοτικών ιατρικών πρακτικών και γενικότερα στη βελτιστοποίηση της υγειονομικής περίθαλψης. Παράλληλα, προσεγγίζονται και οι προκλήσεις που συνοδεύουν τη χρήση των Μεγάλων Δεδομένων, όπως η προστασία της ιδιωτικότητας και η διαχείριση της πληροφορίας με τρόπο που να διασφαλίζει την ακρίβεια και την εγκυρότητα των αποτελεσμάτων. Παρά τα θέματα που προκύπτουν, τα Big Data αποτελούν έναν καταλύτη για την καινοτομία και τη βελτίωση της αποδοτικότητας των υπηρεσιών υγείας, προσφέροντας τη δυνατότητα για πιο ενημερωμένες και αποτελεσματικές αποφάσεις. Ωστόσο, απαιτείται προσεκτικός σχεδιασμός και επενδύσεις σε τεχνολογία για την πλήρη αξιοποίηση των δυνατοτήτων τους. Η ανάλυση των Μεγάλων Δεδομένων στην υγειονομική περίθαλψη αποτελεί μια ανερχόμενη δύναμη που προωθεί τη διαμόρφωση καλύτερων πολιτικών υγείας και τη βελτίωση των κλινικών αποτελεσμάτων, επιδρώντας θετικά τόσο στους ασθενείς όσο και στο σύστημα υγείας συνολικά.

description: In self-supervised representation learning, Siamese networks are a natural architecture for learning transformation-invariance by bringing representations of positive pairs closer together. But it is prone to collapse into a degenerate solution. To address the issue, in contrastive learning, a contrastive loss is used to prevent collapse by moving representations of negative pairs away from each other. But it is known that algorithms with negative sampling are not robust to a reduction in the number of negative samples. So, on the other hand, there are algorithms that do not use negative pairs. Many positive-only algorithms adopt asymmetric network architecture consisting of source and target encoders as a key factor in coping with collapse. By exploiting the asymmetric architecture, we introduce a methodology to implicitly incorporate the idea of contrastive learning. As its implementation, we present a novel method guided stop-gradient. We apply our method to benchmark algorithms SimSiam and BYOL and show that our method stabilizes training and boosts performance. We also show that the algorithms with our method work well with small batch sizes and do not collapse even when there is no predictor. The code is available at https://github.com/bych-lee/gsg.

description: Η παρούσα έρευνα εξερεύνησε την ενσωμάτωση ψηφιακών εργαλείων, όπως το Canva και το ChatGPT, στη μαθησιακή διαδικασία, στο πλαίσιο της Μάθησης μέσω Έργων (PjBL), εστιάζοντας σε μαθητές ηλικίας 11 ετών, συμπεριλαμβανομένων αυτών με διάσπαση προσοχής. Τα ευρήματα έδειξαν σημαντικές βελτιώσεις στις ψηφιακές δεξιότητες, τη συνεργασία, την αυτόνομη μάθηση και τη γενική στάση των μαθητών απέναντι στη μάθηση. Το Canva αποδείχθηκε ιδιαίτερα αποτελεσματικό στην ενίσχυση της δημιουργικότητας των μαθητών και της ικανότητάς τους να εκφράζουν ιδέες οπτικά, ενώ το ChatGPT παρείχε πολύτιμη υποστήριξη για την αυτόνομη μάθηση, προσφέροντας άμεση ανατροφοδότηση και καθοδήγηση. Η έρευνα ανέδειξε επίσης τη θετική επίδραση αυτών των εργαλείων στη συνεργασία μεταξύ των μαθητών. Μέσα από την ομαδική εργασία, οι μαθητές αντάλλαξαν ιδέες πιο αποτελεσματικά και συνέβαλαν ισότιμα στην ολοκλήρωση των έργων, αναπτύσσοντας σημαντικές κοινωνικές και διαπροσωπικές δεξιότητες. Ωστόσο, η έρευνα είχε περιορισμούς, όπως το μικρό μέγεθος του δείγματος και η σύντομη διάρκεια της παρέμβασης, γεγονός που περιορίζει τη δυνατότητα γενίκευσης των ευρημάτων. Οι μελλοντικές μελέτες θα πρέπει να περιλαμβάνουν μεγαλύτερα και πιο ποικιλόμορφα δείγματα και να επεκτείνουν τη διάρκεια της παρέμβασης για να επιβεβαιώσουν αυτά τα αποτελέσματα. Παρά τους περιορισμούς, η έρευνα υπογραμμίζει τη δυνατότητα των ψηφιακών εργαλείων όπως το Canva και το ChatGPT να ενισχύσουν σημαντικά τη μαθησιακή εμπειρία, προάγοντας κρίσιμες δεξιότητες όπως η ψηφιακή εγγραμματοσύνη, η συνεργασία και η αυτόνομη μάθηση. Η περαιτέρω έρευνα θα πρέπει να εξετάσει την μακροπρόθεσμη επίδραση αυτών των εργαλείων, την αποτελεσματικότητά τους σε διάφορα εκπαιδευτικά περιβάλλοντα και την προσαρμοστικότητά τους σε διαφορετικούς τύπους μαθησιακών δυσκολιών. Συνολικά, η έρευνα προσφέρει ισχυρές ενδείξεις ότι η ενσωμάτωση ψηφιακών εργαλείων στην εκπαίδευση μπορεί να βελτιώσει την ποιότητα της μαθησιακής διαδικασίας και να υποστηρίξει τους μαθητές στην ανάπτυξη βασικών δεξιοτήτων του 21ου αιώνα.
Saint Spyridon, Kardamyli, southern Greece, postbyzantine church

description: The church of Saint Spyridon is located in Kardamyli, at the fortified compound of the MourtzinoiTroupakis local clan (local landlords called kapetanioi), in the region of messinian Mani, Peloponnese, southern Greece. It is one of the finest example of a single-aisled, barrel-vaulted domed basilica, dated in the 18th century, built of rubble masonry and in the south side, of massive poros blocks. The entrance door and window are framed by sculpted decoration. Parts of sculpture and masonry are of ancient and byzantine origin and dating, indicating re-use of older material in the monument. The impressive belltower is decorated by low relief motifs and its structure bear resemblance to western patterns. The church of Saint Spyridon is among the very rare cases of such dominant religious monuments associated with a "clan" and included within their fortification enclosure. It was never purposed to fulfill wide audience worship but only privately, the members of the clan. After the last descendants passed away, the building was left to decay. Some years ago it was restored; but still it only celebrates the patron Saint's day and at some other special occasions (baptisms, weddings).

description: This paper describes a method to photometrically align registered and overlapping images which have been subject to vignetting (radial light falloff), exposure variations, white balance variation and nonlinear camera response. Applications include estimation of vignetting and camera response; vignetting and exposure compensation for image image mosaicing; and creation of high dynamic range mosaics. Compared to previous work white balance changes can be compensated and a computationally efficient algorithm is presented. The method is evaluated with synthetic and real images and is shown to produce better results than comparable methods.

description: The consistent use and further development of digital enabling technologies has become the driving force and foundation of entrepreneurial success in recent decades. The identification of drivers and barriers for the use of these technologies involves a detailed identification and subsequent analysis of influencing factors, with a focus on the study of technology acceptance and adoption research. However, the adaptation mechanisms associated with adoption and the implications of its use have not been adequately studied in the field of quality management. In this context, quality management occupies a special position within the corporate structure that is particularly worthy of investigation, as it maps process quality, work quality, and product and service quality across departments. Accordingly, we answer the research gap regarding the drivers and barriers for the use of innovative technologies in quality management in manufacturing companies.

A Constrained Alternating Optimization Framework for Feature Matching
Creators: name: Liu, Xiabi
name: Jia, Yunde
Publisher: name: International Conference on Computer Vision Systems : Proceedings
Year: 2007

description: This paper proposes a constrained alternating optimization framework to tackle the feature matching problem with partial matching and multiple matching. We model the difference between pairing features as the result of a transformation followed an uncertainty distribution. Based on this modeling, transformation estimation and feature matching are performed alternately from initial matching: the transformation is updated according to the matching, and the matching is updated according to the transformation and the uncertainty distribution. A pruning operation is further presented to reduce the search space of initial matching. In the proposed framework, we develop a B-spline curve feature matching algorithm for hand-gesture based text input, and a line feature matching algorithm which is tested for three applications: model-based recognition, image registration, and stereo matching. The experimental results for two algorithms are reported.

description: We report on an image classification task originated from the video observation of beehives. Biologists desire to have an automatic support to identify so called hygienic bees. For this it is important to know which brood cells are in a stadium of initial opening. To find these cells a prescreening process is necessary which classifies three types of cells. To solve this decision problem a number of classification techniques are evaluated. ROC-analysis for the given problem shows that the SVM classifier with RBF kernel outperforms linear discrimance analysis, decision trees, boosted classifiers, and other kernel functions.

description: Following the extended cognition of historical urban landscape, former concession areas are considered particular zones with certain historic and artistic values and undergo a tremendous conservative change. Current economic service-oriented transformation raised the issue of environmental rupture, gentrification and the decline of landscape diversity. Giving a glance at the variety of urban voids, this study analyses the neglected formation process of parks, boulevards, plazas as well as the Hang-Dao, and their morphological characteristic through history, integrates them into the general urban construction process meanwhile clarifies their dominating role in historic urban landscape image. Take the whole British concession area of Tientsin in modern time as the target, use historic maps as a discussion base, superimpose historical images and textual information to sort out continuous evolution and formative identities of urban voids. The results reflect in synthesis diagrams of urban void system which are constituted by a dominated crossing-axis and a hierarchical layering grid pattern in two morphological regions. These formative schemes could be further elaborated into conservation planning strategies for historical urban landscape.
Subunit Boundary Detection for Sign Language Recognition Using Spatio-temporal Modelling

Publisher: name: International Conference on Computer Vision Systems : Proceedings
Year: 2007

description: The use of subunits offers a feasible way to recognize sign language with large vocabulary. The initial step is to partition signs into elementary units. In this paper, we firstly define a subunit as one continuous hand action in time and space, which comprises a series of interrelated consecutive frames. Then, we propose a solution to detect the subunit boundary according to spatio-temporal features using a three-stage hierarchy: in the first stage, we apply hand segmentation and tracking algorithm to capture motion speeds and trajectories; in the second stage, the obtained speed and trajectory information are combined to locate subunit boundaries; finally, temporal clustering by dynamic time warping (DTW) is adopted to merge similar segments and refine the results. The presented work does not need prior knowledge of the types of signs and is robust to signer behaviour variation. Moreover, it can provide a base for high-level sign language understanding. Experiments on many real-world signing videos show the effectiveness of the proposed work.

Face Alignment by 2.5D Active Appearance Model Optimized by Simplex

Publisher: name: International Conference on Computer Vision Systems : Proceedings
Year: 2007

description: In this paper we propose an efficient algorithm to align the face in real time, based on Active Appearance Model (AAM) in 2.5D. The main objective is to make a robust, rapid and memory efficient application suitable for embedded systems, so they could align the pose rapidly by using less memory. Classical AAM is a high memory consumer algorithm, consequently transfer of this stored memory in an embedded system makes it a time consuming algorithm as well. Our 2.5D AAM is generated by taking 3D landmarks from frontal and profile view and 2D texture only from frontal view of the face image. Moreover we propose Nelder Mead Simplex technique for face search. It does not require large memory, thus becoming suitable for embedded systems by eliminating the excess memory and access time requirements. We illustrate 2.5D AAM optimized by Simplex for pose estimation and test it on three databases: M2VTS, synthetic images and webcam images. Results validate our combination of simplex and AAM in 2.5D.

Stochastic Attentional Selection and Shift on the Visual Attention Pyramid
Creators: name: Atsumi, Masayasu
Publisher: name: International Conference on Computer Vision Systems : Proceedings
Year: 2007

description: This paper proposes a computational model of visual attention which performs stochastic attentional selection and shift on the visual attention pyramid that is computed for each image frame of a video sequence. In this model, the visual attention pyramid is generated according to the rareness criteria by using intensity contrast, saturation contrast, hue contrast, orientation and motion energy on a Gaussian resolution pyramid. On this attention pyramid, stochastic attentional selection and shift is performed on mechanisms of the dynamic maintenance of IOR(Inhibition Of Return), the bottom-up spatial attention and the adaptive competitive filtering of attention. Experimental results show that this model achieves stochastic visual pop-out to artificial pop-out targets and stochastic attentional selection and shift, especially the whole-part attention shift and the motion-follow attention, in daily scenes.

description: The re-turn, like the repair, is a disruptive act. It pauses Azoulay’s forward thrusting, carving out space in the present. In this, the return and the repair become co-agents for temporal relationships between past, present, and future. If we always configure that temporality with a forward motion, then we fail to consider ways in which the future influences that which is ahead of itself and we set it always in the service of its past. Positing an altered temporal framework based upon the repair allows us to consider a future that is a co-producer of knowledge, understanding, and community. Here I want to use the practice of textile repair – the mend – to consider ways in which we might return to future art histories and thus reframe what we can understand by reparation. Rupture and mend are borne out of violence and hold the parts in tension. Colonial notions of reparation are driven by an urge to hide this damage and thus fail to consider mending as productive, plural, vulnerable, and affective ways of being. Here I want to propose the rough repair as an artistic practice, what Jack Halberstam terms ‘murky resistance’ (Halberstam 2020: 2), a space of alternatives, sometimes counterintuitive and refusing. The rough repair gives us scope to think of reparation through material entanglements that are wrought through violent acts and actions. Repair becomes an ethical space in which questions of differential edges, power structures, and the formation of art histories can become a point of re-turn. The wound and reparation are inherently violent and physical actions, and they are destructive. Within an ethics of care, this violence becomes necessary and important for future art histories. In this essay, I want to use this artistic practice to propose ways in which art histories can be regarded and observed, and thus entreat that repairs and reparations should not be rendered invisible.

A Real-time Algorithm for Finger Detection in a Camera Based Finger-Friendly Interactive Board System
Creators: name: Zhou, Ye
name: Morrison, Gerald
Publisher: name: International Conference on Computer Vision Systems : Proceedings
Year: 2007

description: This paper proposes an approach to finger detection for a type of camera based interactive board. In this approach, finger finding is confined within a stripe that is the projection of the edge of the board on the image plane with respect to a camera instead of using global search. The region where a finger intersects with the stripe is first detected and segmented from the background. A region growing algorithm is then applied to the region to segment the whole finger. This approach can detect multi-targets and be implemented efficiently, processing 30 or more 640×120 images per second even in a cheap DSP.

Victim of an 'extraordinary conspiracy'? : Sir John Eardley Eardley-Wilmot Lieutenant-Governor of Van Diemen's Land 1843-46
Creators: name: Mickleborough, LC
Publisher: name: University of Tasmania
Year: 2024

description: This study examines the career of Sir John Eardley Eardley-Wilmot MP and Chairman of the Quarter Sessions, and his 1843 appointment as Lieutenant-Governor of Van Diemen's Land by Secretary of State Lord Stanley, despite Stanley's claim three months earlier, that Eardley- Wilmot was a 'muddle brained blockhead'. This comprehensive study first re-evaluates Eardley-Wilmot's extensive public career in Britain (which has been much neglected by Australian historians), especially his contribution to the reform of juvenile crime and the slavery controversy. Secondly, it explains his role and importance in the development of the probation system of convict management in the colony. Significantly, in 1846 Sir James Stephen admitted it was the British Government's 'illadvised' and 'non-considered pledge' to abandon transportation to New South Wales in 1840, and to throw the 'whole current' of convicts into Van Diemen's Land, which caused the colony's constitutional crises in which private members of the Legislative Council expressed their hostility and obstructed financial measures. Coinciding with the cessation of transportation to New South Wales, Britain replaced the assignment of convicts with the probation system and Eardley-Wilmot was required to place the annual arrival of between 4,000 and 5,000 convicts into probation gangs and stations. The expenses and demands of probation also impacted on the female houses of correction, hiring depots, orphan schools and Point Puer. This thesis provides a study of the British Empire's organisation as the system of convict administration and transportation changed, and supports Eardley-Wilmot's claim that he did not receive adequate Colonial Office support and was treated unfairly. It also reveals he was appointed, not only because of patronage and experience, but because he antagonised Stanley and Sir Robert Peel over his determination to end British slavery. Also challenged is William Ewart Gladstone's claim that Eardley-Wilmot failed to report problems with the convict system and incidences of 'unnatural' crime, and discusses information supplied to Gladstone which was influential in his decision to send both a public despatch and a 'Secret' letter advising Eardley-Wilmot of his dismissal. Eardley-Wilmot died in February 1847, eight days after the arrival of his successor, Sir William Denison, and on 3 June when news of his death reached England, his dismissal received further prominence. The matter was raised in the House of Commons and a vigorous and powerful debate exonerated him from the 'cowardly and malicious charges', and was 'ample proof' of the 'moral assassination of a good and worthy gentleman'.

View Independent Face Detection Based on Combination of Local and Global Kernels

Year: 2007

description: In this paper, local and global kernels are combined to use the detailed and rough similarities simultaneously. In recent years, many recognition methods based on local features were proposed. However, the combination of only local matching is not sufficient. Global viewpoint is also necessary to improve the generalization ability. Local feature matching measures the detailed similarity and global feature matching measures the rough similarity. Therefore, the error pattern is different in local and global features. If they are combined well, the generalization ability is improved. In the proposed method, local kernels and global kernel are combined by summation, and the combined kernel is used in SVM. The proposed method is applied to view independent face detection task. We confirm that the false positive is reduced by combining local and global kernels. The effectiveness of the proposed method is demonstrated by the comparison with only global and local kernel.

Fast Outdoor Robot Localization Using Integral Invariants

Year: 2007

description: Global Integral Invariant Features have shown to be useful for robot localization in indoor environments. In this paper, we present a method that uses Integral Invariants for outdoor environments. To make the Integral Invariant Features more distinctive for outdoor images, we first split the image into a grid of subimages. Then we calculate integral invariants for each grid cell individually and concatenate the results to get the feature vector for the image. Additionally, we combine this method with a particle filter to improve the localization results. We compare our approach to a Scale Invariant Feature Transform (SIFT)-based approach on images of two outdoor areas and under different illumination conditions. The results show that the SIFT approach is more exact, but the Grid Integral Invariant approach is faster and allows localization in significantly less than one second.

A Layered Active Memory Architecture for Cognitive Vision Systems

description: Recognising actions and objects from video material has attracted growing research attention and given rise to important applications. However, injecting cognitive capabilities into computer vision systems requires an architecture more elaborate than the traditional signal processing paradigm for information processing. Inspired by biological cognitive systems, we present a memory architecture enabling cognitive processes (such as selecting the processes required for scene understanding, layered storage of data for context discovery, and forgetting redundant data) to take place within a computer vision system. This architecture has been tested by automatically inferring the score of a tennis match, and experimental results show a significant improvement in the overall vision system performance --- demonstrating that managing visual data in a manner more akin to that of the human brain is a key factor in improving the efficiency of computer vision systems.
