By using the Scrapbox data log, it was possible to quantify and visualize how a knowledge network was constructed using online notes. In addition, deep learning with an awareness of the relationship between different types of knowledge enhanced self-assessment of understanding.","PeriodicalId":136474,"journal":{"name":"2019 8th International Congress on Advanced Applied Informatics (IIAI-AAI)","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115250003","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}

It is necessary to inform the air quality in time to the public in order to take measures in advance. Machine learning methods such as random forest are good at evaluating grades of air quality. We find the distribution of air data is imbalance, which leads to negative effect on random forest classifiers. We propose a random forest method based on samples grouped bootstrap to solve this problem. Then we design three sets of experiments to evaluate the performance of the proposed method. The results of experiments indicate that the proposed method presents an improvement of random forest when both apply on balance datasets. The improvement is very significant when they apply on imbalance datasets, where the new method is much better at classifying minority samples.","PeriodicalId":136474,"journal":{"name":"2019 8th International Congress on Advanced Applied Informatics (IIAI-AAI)","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114767396","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}

Deep learning usually takes lots of time to train. But with the advances in hardware and new algorithm proposed, the training time problem is gradually alleviated. The deep convolutional neural networks have good effect on images classification. In this paper, we use the deep convolutional neural networks to try to solve the problem of classification faces of different racial origin. Because the convolutional neural networks usually require a huge amount of data for training for good performance, such training set of real racial faces is not available to us. As a result of small set of real racial faces, this study proposes to incorporate synthetic facial images in our training set to sufficiently increase the size of the training set. To the best of our knowledge, this study is the first to propose to incorporate synthetic racial faces to train a deep convolutional neural network to classify real racial faces. We compare the performance of only employ synthetic facial images and mixtures of synthetic and real facial images in the training set. Our experiments show that training with only the real facial images (2,500 images) can achieve 91.25% accuracy in classifying faces of three different race origins. However, the classification when training with a mixture of 2,500 real facial images and 15,000 synthetic facial images can be further improved to 98.5% in accuracy.","PeriodicalId":136474,"journal":{"name":"2019 8th International Congress on Advanced Applied Informatics (IIAI-AAI)","volume":"49 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127635417","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}

A fall detection system includes data collection, data pre-processing, feature extraction, feature selection, and then activity classification. In this context the researchers have conducted studies on acceleration-based fall detection using external accelerometer or built-in sensors in smartphone. In this paper a novel approach for fall detection using machine learning technique is proposed, which employs a new pre-processing technique to remove noise from sensor data. It mainly consists of two processes: short-term smoothing to remove the short term vibration and long-term smoothing to smooth sensor readings captured in a longer time window. To detect falls, statistical models are proposed to extract the features. A public dataset, MobiFall, is used for performance evaluation, which contains the data of accelerometer and gyroscope with the orientation along each axis in the smartphone coordination system. With the selected features, the proposed scheme identifies falls from the activities of daily living with a high accuracy of up to 98.3%. Moreover, tFall dataset is also used to perform a cross verification of the proposed scheme.","PeriodicalId":136474,"journal":{"name":"2019 8th International Congress on Advanced Applied Informatics (IIAI-AAI)","volume":"80 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126635682","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}

This study uses learning analytics based on distance learning logs and learner information to build a learning support program that is suitable for learners in the field of nursing. Our findings show that frequency of logins to a distance-learning course for nurses was related to course completion, as was login frequency to an orientation course and after three months from the course start. These results have implications for implementing support. For instance, educators will check the learner's learning status and provide suitable support as advice and metering. Additionally, these supports were applicable not only nurses but also all health professionals who receive training through distance learning.","PeriodicalId":136474,"journal":{"name":"2019 8th International Congress on Advanced Applied Informatics (IIAI-AAI)","volume":"87 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122509023","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}

It also has step-forward and step-backward functions. This programming environment is a web application developed with JavaScript. For step-by-step evaluation of an expression, it converts the expression internally to reverse Polish notation and visualizes the change in the terms in the expression. To implement the step-backward function, it has a history-of-execution context. We determined experimentally that students who are not proficient in C can program more accurately and quickly in this environment than with text-based coding.","PeriodicalId":136474,"journal":{"name":"2019 8th International Congress on Advanced Applied Informatics (IIAI-AAI)","volume":"64 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131432728","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}
