Digital preservation has become a popular method for safeguarding cultural heritage resources in recent years. The purpose of this chapter was to determine how digital preservation can be used as a strategy to promote access to cultural heritage for sustainable development of South African rural communities. Data collection was based on a critical review of literature in order to analyze policy and mechanisms being put in place for effective preservation of cultural heritage. Findings revealed that most of African rural communities do not have mechanisms for safeguarding their cultural heritage, and there is lack of technological tools for preservation of cultural heritage. Cultural heritage policy should also be implemented and better explained to the rural communities' authorities.","PeriodicalId":101845,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Computational Intelligence and Robotics","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126890515","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Previous methods have explored various metrics and optimization strategies. Good results have been previously achieved with simple metrics, requiring complex optimization, often with many unintuitive parameters that require careful tuning for each dataset. In this chapter, the problem is restructured to use a simpler, iterative optimization algorithm, with very few free parameters. The warps are refined using an iterative Levenberg-Marquardt minimization to the mean, based on updating the locations of a small number of points and incorporating a stiffness constraint. This optimization approach is efficient, has very few free parameters to tune, and the authors show how to tune the few remaining parameters. Results show that the method reliably aligns various datasets including two facial datasets and two medical datasets of prostate and brain MRI images and demonstrates efficiency in terms of performance and a reduction of the computational cost.","PeriodicalId":101845,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Computational Intelligence and Robotics","volume":"61 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114146663","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In Twitter, the messages are known as tweets. Tweets are mainly text-based posts that can be up to 140 characters long which can reach the author's subscribers. These subscribers are also known as followers. Such subscriptions form a direct connection. But these connections are not always symmetric. In this study, the authors have assumed that if two nodes are connected, then the tweet is propagated between them without any other conditions. But using sentiment analysis, the general opinion of people about various things can be figured. The Twitter data set analyzed includes almost 20k nodes and 33k edges, where the visualization is done with software called Gephi. Later a deep dive analysis is done by calculating some of the metrics such as degree centrality and closeness centrality for the obtained Twitter network. Using this analysis, it is easy to find the influencers in the Twitter network and also the various groups involved in the network.","PeriodicalId":101845,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Computational Intelligence and Robotics","volume":"68 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121262639","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Thus, educational practices are not indifferent to this reality. Consequently, several online platforms supporting the teaching-learning process have been developed. Additionally, several higher education institutions have a weekly attendance time, where teachers seek to clarify student's doubts physically in the institution. However, oftentimes, the students do not use that attendance time. In order to seek to improve this issue, a collaborative mobile web platform was developed: Higher M@t-EduTutor. This chapter starts by introducing a theoretical framework and then presents a broad study on collaborative web platforms in order to better relate them with the developed platform. This specific platform, to be used in mobile devices, with the objective of promoting students learning, allows students to clarify doubts with their teachers, collaboratively, in real time and at distance.","PeriodicalId":101845,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Computational Intelligence and Robotics","volume":"54 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116210724","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
