These two techniques have been used as analytics by several e-commerce communities. For example, vendors such as Amazon and eBay have adapted these techniques to significantly advance in innovative and highly recommended scalable e-commerce platforms and product systems to target potential customers thus increasing business revenues. In a similar context, the health community have experienced not only more complex and large data content, but also information systems that contain a large number of data sources with interrelated data. Furthermore, due to the increasing diversity and differentiation of expansions by service providers in the form of primary or nursing care, a variety of service organisations in the public and private hospital networks including new medical specialist facilities have resulted in challenging, and highly dynamic environments resulting in the creation of big data with its enumerate complexities, for instance sharing information with expected security requirements of stakeholders. Therefore, the health community will have to adapt the concept of big data analytics in order to solve major issues that have occurred due to complex shared information.","PeriodicalId":142561,"journal":{"name":"2015 Fifteenth International Conference on Advances in ICT for Emerging Regions (ICTer)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128745898","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}

The objective is to test if Twitter is opening communication between parties and enabling new leaderships or if it is reducing them to representatives of the same party or ideology and empowering party leaders. The study is based on a dataset spanning from 1 January 2013 to 31 March 2014 which covers following-followers relationships (4,516), retweets (6,045) and mentions (19,507) of Catalan parliamentarians. We use social network analysis and Gephi visualizations, jointly with multiple regression in order to explain which individual and network characteristics trigger a centrality position in the network. The data sustain that the political polarization is deeper in the relationship and retweet networks than it is in the mention and that even if party leaders are still at the center of communication flows, other parliamentarians are taking the floor and becoming network leaders.","PeriodicalId":142561,"journal":{"name":"2015 Fifteenth International Conference on Advances in ICT for Emerging Regions (ICTer)","volume":"53 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115836737","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}

Initially, the Hidden Markov Model and the associated Hidden Markov Toolkit (HTK) is used as the speech recognizer. While real time decoding is obtained by the Julius decoder a three-states Bakis HMM topology is used to build the acoustic model. The normalized Mel frequency cepstral coefficients with zeroth coefficient as the feature vector is used to recognize speech. Although a single person is used during the training session, an average accuracy of 85% is obtained for both speaker dependent and speaker independent speech recognition. Performance evaluation shows the capabilities of the proposed system to convert discrete Sinhala speech to Sinhala Unicode in both quiet and noisy environments.","PeriodicalId":142561,"journal":{"name":"2015 Fifteenth International Conference on Advances in ICT for Emerging Regions (ICTer)","volume":"119 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124378894","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 paper addresses the problem of finding all roots of a given univariate nonlinear equation with real and complex roots using a modified firefly algorithm (MOD FA). The appropriate modifications are applied to the existing firefly algorithm (FA) by introducing an archive. Better fireflies are noted and stored in the archive during the iteration process and then their positions are replaced by new random ones. A comparison was carried out with the original firefly algorithm and also with the genetic algorithm (GA) which has a similar behaviour to the firefly algorithm. Computer simulations show that the proposed firefly algorithm performs well in solving nonlinear equations with real and complex roots within a specified region. The suggested method can be further extended to solve a given system of nonlinear equations.","PeriodicalId":142561,"journal":{"name":"2015 Fifteenth International Conference on Advances in ICT for Emerging Regions (ICTer)","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127623842","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}

The availability of lexical resources is vital to many natural language processing in the field of computation linguistics. But only few languages in the world have the advantage of having enough lexical resources. Though Sinhala language has a long history, Natural Language Processing and computational linguistic aided development of the language is far behind compared with other languages. Researches on NLP for Sinhala language can be pushed by creation of required lexical resources and tools. In this paper we present our research work that was carried out for contributing to NLP based development of the language by developing a part of speech tagger for Sinhala language. The tagger we developed shows over 91% of an accuracy, and the tagger is available as RESTFul web service on the Internet that is freely accessible to the public.","PeriodicalId":142561,"journal":{"name":"2015 Fifteenth International Conference on Advances in ICT for Emerging Regions (ICTer)","volume":"61 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124197368","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}

Amount of criminal records piling up daily has made it cumbersome to manually process connections between crimes. These Crime series' possess certain attributes that are characteristic of the criminal(s) involved in them, which are useful in defining their modus operandi (MO). After a careful study in the grave crime category of House breaking and Theft in Sri Lanka, we have identified certain MO attributes which we have used to collect from past crime scene data from police records. Then we have explored whether it is possible to group suspects who have similar MO patterns through a machine learning approach and give a short list for a new crime from the existing data. The evaluation of the research presented an accuracy above 75% which proved that Machine Learning is capable of short listing criminals based on their Modus Operandi features.","PeriodicalId":142561,"journal":{"name":"2015 Fifteenth International Conference on Advances in ICT for Emerging Regions (ICTer)","volume":"196 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115543608","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}
