Abstract: This paper introduces an automated decision-making framework for providing controlled agent behavior in systems dealing with human behavior-change. Controlled behavior in such settings is important in order to reduce unexpected side-effects of a system’s actions. The general structure of the framework is based on a psychological theory, the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB), capturing causes to human motivational states, which enables reasoning about dynamics of human motivation. The framework consists of two main components: 1) an ontological knowledge-base that models an individual’s behavioral challenges to infer motivation states and 2) a transition system that, in a given motivation state, decides …on motivational support, resulting in transitions between motivational states. The system generates plans (sequences of actions) for an agent to facilitate behavior change. A particular use-case is modeled regarding children with Autism Spectrum Conditions (ASC) who commonly experience difficulties in everyday social situations. An evaluation of a proof-of-concept prototype is performed that presents consistencies between ASC experts’ suggestions and plans generated by the system. Show more

Abstract: Transformer-based neural machine translation (NMT) models have achieved state-of-the-art performance in the machine translation paradigm. These models learn the translation knowledge from the bilingual corpus through the attention mechanism automatically. This differs from the way human translators approach sentence translation, where prior knowledge plays a significant role. Inspired by this, a word translation augmentation (WTA) method is proposed to improve the Transformer-based NMT model. The main steps are as follows: Firstly, constructing the word alignment rules based on the training set. Next, generating the translation rules for source words according to the word alignment rules. Lastly, incorporating the potential translation …candidates for each source word into the NMT model during the training and testing procedure. In addition, the WTA method introduces the idea of Mixup for translation candidates of a source word and employs two augmentation strategies to augment the encoder. The results of experiments on several translation tasks with high-resource and low-resource indicate the effectiveness of the proposed method compared with the corresponding strong baseline, and the improvement in BLEU score achieved ranges from 0.42 to 0.63.

Abstract: Emotion detection in educational dialogues, particularly within student-teacher interactions, has become a crucial research area for improving the learning experience. In this paper, we employ two models, one generic Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers (BERT) and the Emotion detection model Robustly Optimized BERT Approach (EmoRoBERTa), to automatically classify emotions in a corpus of student-teacher chat interactions. Then subsequently, we validate these classifications using a scheme based on oracles, employing two generative large language models (ChatGPT and Bard). Experiments on emotion detection in dialogues between students and teachers revealed that EmoRoBERTa exhibited a reasonable level of agreement with the oracles, while …ChatGPT demonstrated the highest consistency with EmoRoBERTa’s predictions. Furthermore, we identified the impact of specific words on emotion classification, offering insights into the decision-making process of these models. The results not only highlight the prominent presence of emotions like approval, gratitude, curiosity, disapproval, amusement, confusion, remorse, joy , and surprise but also provide substantial support for the utilization of the proposed emotion detection model to enhance the student learning environment. Exploring the emotional aspects of educational dialogues holds the potential to enhance instruction methods, provide timely assistance to students in need, and create an improved learning atmosphere.

Abstract: With the rise of the fruit processing industry, machine learning and image processing have become necessary for quality control and monitoring of fruits. Recently, strong vision-based solutions have emerged in farming industries that make inspections more accurate at a much lower cost. Advanced deep learning methods play a key role in these solutions. In this study, we built an image-based framework that uses the ResNet-101 CNN model to identify different types of papaya fruit diseases with minimal training data and processing power. A case study to identify commonly encountered papaya fruit diseases during harvesting was used to support the results …of the suggested methodology. A total of 983 images of both healthy and defective papaya were considered during the experiment. In this study, we initially used the ResNet-101 CNN model for classification and then combined the deep features drawn out from the activation layer (fc1000) of the ResNet-101 CNN along with a multi-class Support Vector Machine (SVM) to classify papaya fruit defect detection. After comparing the performance of both approaches, it was found that Cubic SVM is the best classifier using the deep feature of ResNet-101 CNN, achieved with an accuracy of 99.5% and an area under the curve (AUC) of 1 without any classification error. The findings of this experiment reveal that the ResNet-101 CNN with the cubic SVM model can categorize good, diseased, and defective papaya pictures. Moreover, the suggested model executed the task in a greater way in terms of the F1- Score (0.99), sensitivity (99.50%), and precision (99.71%). The present work not only assists the end user in determining the type of disease but also makes it possible for them to take corrective measures during farming. Show more

Abstract: Modern image processing techniques are improving beyond old methods, which include advanced approaches, for example deep learning. Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) are excellent at automatic feature extraction, whereas Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) produce realistic images. Transfer learning uses pre-trained models, whereas semantic segmentation identifies pixels in images. Super-resolution, style transfer, and attention mechanisms can increase the quality of images and understanding. Adversarial defenses address purposeful manipulations, while 3D image processing handles three-dimensional data. These advancements make use of improved computational power and massive datasets to revolutionize image processing capabilities. Traditional image processing algorithms frequently fail to handle the complex and …multidimensional structure of color images, particularly when dealing with uncertainty and imprecision. In this study, the 3D-EIFIM frame work is extented and scaled aggregation operations 3D-EIFIM tailored for image data are proposed. By representing each pixel as an entry of 3D-EIFIM and applying aggregation techniques to enable more effective image analysis, manipulation, and enhancement. The practical implications of this research are significant, as it can lead to advancements in fields such as computer vision, medical imaging, and remote sensing. Show more

Abstract: China has emerged as one of the nations with the worst air pollution in recent years. The severe air pollution has caused a large number of population migration and also caused serious economic problems. Since the concentration of air pollutants can change quickly in a short amount of time, the study first tracked PM2.5 , PM10 , NO2 , CO, SO2 , and O3 as targets before using the particle swarm optimization algorithm to improve the PIO algorithm, which is based on the traditional pigeon swarm algorithm. To estimate the concentration of air pollutants, combine the wavelet packet decomposition …technique, MDS visualization method, and k-means algorithm. Then, apply the enhanced PIO algorithm to optimize the ELM algorithm. Finally, a new type of decomposition-optimization-clustering-integration hybrid learning model, namely DOCIAPC model, is constructed. The experimental findings indicate that, when predicting the concentration of various air pollutants, the DOCIAPC model’s average direction prediction accuracy is 90.37% . In conclusion, the model suggested in the study has excellent performance and applicability, and it can accurately predict the concentration of air pollutants, help the government take action to reduce air pollution, balance the environment and economy, as well as the allocation of labor and its resources in the city.
