It is challenging to handle missing pollutant values because they are collected at irregular and different times. Accurate estimation of those missing values is critical for the air pollution prediction task. Effective forecasting is a significant part of air quality modeling for a robust early warning system. This study developed a neural network model, a Temporal Convolutional Network (TCN) with an imputation block (TCN-I), to simultaneously perform data imputation and forecasting tasks. As pollution sensor data suffer from different types of missing values whose causes are varied, TCN is attempted to impute those missing values in this study and perform prediction tasks in a single model. The results prove that the TCN-I model outperforms the baseline models.","PeriodicalId":155438,"journal":{"name":"ICST Transactions on Scalable Information Systems","volume":"88 7","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141657663","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}

Improving teaching approaches and student involvement in the context of English language acquisition is an important issue that this study seeks to address. Even though there have been great strides in educational technology, conventional English classes still have a hard time meeting the demands of their different student bodies and offering individualized lessons. This is a major problem that prevents English language training from being effective, according to the material that is already available. In this study, we provide an approach to this issue called English Smart Classroom Teaching with the Internet of Things (ESCT-IoT). Utilizing data science techniques, artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms, and Internet of Things (IoT) sensors, ESCT-IoT intends to provide a personalized learning environment that is both immersive and adaptable. The fuzzy hierarchical evaluation technique is used to determine the assessment's final result, which measures the smart classroom's instructional impact. To overcome the limitations of conventional education, ESCT-IoT gathers and analyses data in real time to give adaptive material, individualized feedback, and learning suggestions. There are noticeable benefits as compared to traditional methods of instruction when it comes to evaluation metrics like student engagement, learning outcomes, and teacher satisfaction.

The integration of Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) with Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become paramount to address challenges in urban environments, particularly those involving obstacle collision risks. These UAVs are equipped with advanced sensor arrays, incorporating LiDAR and computer vision technologies. The AI algorithm undergoes comprehensive training on an embedded machine, fostering the development of a robust spatial perception model. This model enables the UAV to interpret and navigate through the intricate urban landscape with a human-like understanding of its surroundings. During mission execution, the AI-driven perception system detects and localizes objects, ensuring real-time awareness. This study proposes an innovative real-time three-dimensional (3D) path planner designed to optimize UAV trajectories through obstacle-laden environments. The path planner leverages a heuristic A* algorithm, a widely recognized search algorithm in artificial intelligence. A distinguishing feature of this proposed path planner is its ability to operate without the need to store frontier nodes in memory, diverging from conventional A* implementations. Instead, it relies on relative object positions obtained from the perception system, employing advanced techniques in simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM). This approach ensures the generation of collision-free paths, enhancing the UAV's navigational efficiency. Moreover, the proposed path planner undergoes rigorous validation through Software-In-The-Loop (SITL) simulations in constrained environments, leveraging high-fidelity UAV dynamics models. Preliminary real flight tests are conducted to assess the real-world applicability of the system, considering factors such as wind disturbances and dynamic obstacles. The results showcase the path planner's effectiveness in providing swift and accurate guidance, thereby establishing its viability for real-time UAV missions in complex urban scenarios.","PeriodicalId":155438,"journal":{"name":"ICST Transactions on Scalable Information Systems","volume":"111 12","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140724520","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 methodology involves employing data augmentation techniques to enrich a small dataset with audio recordings from five speakers, covering both male and female voices. Python programming language is utilized for data processing, and a convolutional autoencoder is chosen as the model. Spectrograms are used to convert speech signals into images, serving as input for training the autoencoder. The developed speaker recognition system is compared against traditional systems relying on the MFCC feature extraction technique. In addition to addressing the challenges of a small dataset, the paper explores the impact of a \"mismatch condition\" by using different time durations of the audio signal during both training and testing phases. Through experiments involving various activation and loss functions, the optimal pair for the small dataset is identified, resulting in a high success rate of 92.4% in matched conditions. Traditionally, Mel-Frequency Cepstral Coefficients (MFCC) have been widely used for this purpose. However, the COVID-19 pandemic has drawn attention to the virus's impact on the human body, particularly on areas relevant to speech, such as the chest, throat, vocal cords, and related regions. COVID-19 symptoms, such as coughing, breathing difficulties, and throat swelling, raise questions about the influence of the virus on MFCC, pitch, jitter, and shimmer features. Therefore, this research aims to investigate and understand the potential effects of COVID-19 on these crucial features, contributing valuable insights to the development of robust speaker recognition systems.","PeriodicalId":155438,"journal":{"name":"ICST Transactions on Scalable Information Systems","volume":"56 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140721753","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}
