Studying examples of working code is an excellent way for users of advanced computing resources to understand how to complete a task given a set of resources, constraints and goals. Expert users are adept at searching the Internet for examples that they can use or modify, yet novices can be easily overwhelmed by the quantity and variety of examples available online. Even when a relevant example has...
People in their 30s–40s are already used to changes and they are open for retraining in order to be more market able. We are not introducing anything new by saying that in today sigh demanding jobs, the schools are not only providing the knowledge necessary to be able to carry out a particular jib, but schools are also responsible for developing skills which will help the students to face and solve...
Today, multimedia-based materials are the most significant source of information. The first conference of a series called ‘Multimedia in Education’ was organised in the town of Keszthely, Hungary, more than 21 years ago, in 1995. This series of conferences has been organised annually ever since - by different institutions and at different locations, but with the same professional enthusiasm and effort...
The orientation is occupying an increasingly important role in the process of determining the future of the students, which leads to the obligation to make it automatic and accessible, both in terms of immediate accessibility throughout the world or in the offering of several languages that correspond to the language used by the majority of students or persons in need of guidance. These problems can...
This paper proposed a new kind of online education mode, MOOE (Massive Open Online Experiment). MOOE was produced based on the thoughts of the Internet thinking and the opening-and-sharing resources and was the organic combination of MOOC and experimental teaching. The main contributions were made: (1) Instructed MOOE's concept and characteristics. MOOE build a network laboratory with the advanced...
The generation and dissemination of digital educational materials in Universities is an issue that has generated interest and concern in Latin American academic community. The use of these educational resources has been conditioned to a specific number of barriers and factors from different nature, being the conceptual and pedagogical, one of the most important, in which, the teacher training plays...
Many graduate students from India are unaware of academic writing, plagiarism, ethical issues and research methodologies. Due to lack of appropriate or experienced teaching instructors in most of the institutions the standards of education and ethics in the education system are under serious threat. Such education system allows many students to practice unethical ways of pursuing an academic degree...
This paper studies the accuracy of a fully-distributed pattern recognition algorithm, namely the P2P-GN, with imbalanced datasets problem which is often neglected by most of the available distributed algorithms. A major distinction of the P2P-GN compared to the other approaches is that it forms a single global classifier, instead of building many local classifiers (one at every site). Fine-granularity...
As the access to Internet has been so much easier in the last decade or so, people are using online applications more than ever. Online marketing, in fact, the whole e-commerce is getting enormous day by day if not in every minute. Online Reviews play a very important role in this field and proving itself to be auspicious in terms of decision making from a customer's point of view. Even though these...
The induction to new college students is part of the training process that provides higher education, it represents a support service and a guidance. The test results applied to students of higher cycles, showed that they did not have enough knowledge about the mission, vision, campus, faculties, services, and regulations of the university. The information and communication technologies can produce...
Demographic attributes of customers such as gender, age, etc. provide important information for e-commerce service providers in marketing and personalization of web applications. However, online customers often do not provide this kind of information due to privacy issues and other security-related reasons. In this paper, we proposed a method for predicting the gender of customers based on their catalog...
A significant number of communities of bodybuilding drugs and Anabolic Androgenic Steroid users exist online (the term steroid forum on google returns over 140,000 results). However, very little is known about them as most research has traditionally focused on addiction recovery online communities. This work aims to provide an insight into understanding the on-line communities of bodybuilding drug...
This paper presents an overview of the 5th Competition on Recognition of Online Handwritten Mathematical Expressions (CROHME). As in previous years, the main task is formula recognition from handwritten strokes (Task 1). Additional tasks include classification of isolated symbols (Task 2a), classification of isolated valid and invalid symbols (Task 2b), a new task on parsing formula structure from...
In the scope of this study we observe the disruptive technologies which appear in the learning material of the higher education more and more frequently from the end of the 20th century, and we also investigate what effects the disruptive technologies have on the educational environment and the methods in the higher education. This article shows a remarkably good example of CogInfoCom [5], [6] as...
The new tools invading our digital world, such as tablets, smart phones are connected to the data centers through the internet and allows the introduction of new pedagogical tools. Among them, the Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs), available on internet sites, is inducing worldwide changes in the educative strategies. These tools are particularly well-suited to learn a good background, which is...
As Wikipedia became the largest human knowledge repository, quality measurement of its articles received a lot of attention during the last decade. Most research efforts focused on classification of Wikipedia articles quality by using a different feature set. However, so far, no “golden feature set” was proposed. In this paper, we present a novel approach for classifying Wikipedia articles by analysing...
In order to be able to successfully defend an IT system it is useful to have an accurate appreciation of the cyber threat that goes beyond stereotypes. To effectively counter potentially decisive and skilled attackers it is necessary to understand, or at least model, their behavior. Although the real motives for untraceable anonymous attackers will remain a mystery, a thorough understanding of their...
Zero shot learning (ZSL) provides a solution to recognising unseen classes without class labelled data for model learning. Most ZSL methods aim to learn a mapping from a visual feature space to a semantic embedding space, e.g. attribute or word vector spaces. The use of word vector space is particularly attractive as compared to attribute, it offers vast auxiliary classes with free parts embedding...
The recent popularity of smartphones causes significant increase of upskirt filming cases in many countries and regions. To search upskirt images in suspects' IT devices and block them on social media, an effective detector is demanded, but it is neglected by both academic and commercial communities. Three commercial pornographic image detectors and one detector distributed by the U.S. National Institute...
Information Extraction is an important task in Natural Language Processing research. Named Entity Recognition as one of the basic tasks of information extraction, the effect has a great impact on the subsequent tasks such as Relation Extraction. And a major difficulty of NER lies in the unknown word identification. For this issue, method of exploiting Wikipedia external information methods was studied...
