The objective of our re-search is to implement a pronunciation training system with minimal language specific data. Our proposed system consists of an Android application as a front-end, and a pronunciation evaluation and mispronunciation detection framework as the back-end hosted on a cloud. We conduct our experiments on spoken isolated words in Kannada. Our pronunciation evaluation(for spoken word) implementation on the cloud involves training a classifier with features from Dynamic Time Warping (DTW) with Mel Frequency Cepstral Coefficients (MFCC) and Line Spectral Frequencies (LSF) and, without directly on LSF (without DTW). We study the performance of different machine learning algorithms for pronunciation rating. We propose a novel semi-supervised approach for detecting mispronounced segments of a word using Self Organizing Maps (SOM) that are also deployed on the cloud. Our implementation of SOM learns the features of an automatically segmented reference speech. The trained SOM is then used to determine the deviations in the learner's pronunciation. We evaluate our system on 1169 Kannada audio samples from students around 18 to 25 years of age. The Kannada words considered are taken from textbooks of first and second grade (considering learners as beginners who do not know Kannada) and include 2 to 5 syllable words. We report accuracy on binary classification and multi-class classification for different classifiers. The mispronounced segments detected using SOM correlate with the human ratings. Our approach of pronunciation evaluation and mispronunciation detection is based on minimal data and does not require a speech recognition system.","PeriodicalId":156315,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE International Conference on Cloud Computing in Emerging Markets (CCEM)","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121280703","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 patient data consisting of various features and diagnostics related to disease should be entered with the utmost care to provide quality services. As the data stored in medical databases may contain missing values and redundant data, mining of the medical data becomes cumbersome. As it can affect the results of mining, it is essential to have good data preparation and data reduction before applying data mining algorithms. Prediction of disease becomes quick and easier if data is precise and consistent and free from noise. One of the key specialty of Naive Bayes classifiers is that they are highly scalable, requiring a number of parameters linear in the number of variables (features/predictors) in a learning problem. Evaluation of closed-form expression can be achieved by Maximum-likelihood training. Which requires linear time, rather than by expensive iterative approximation as used for many other types of classifiers. This research uses data science approach to diognize the medical data. In this article, a study has been conducted by using naïve Bayes classifier to classify the medical data. The suitability of the classifier and the accuracy of the classifier are measured using different performance criteria. This study is useful for researchers and developers in understanding and using a classification technique in medical diagnosis.","PeriodicalId":156315,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE International Conference on Cloud Computing in Emerging Markets (CCEM)","volume":"173 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114680621","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}

Virtualization and cloud technologies have given rise to Software-Defined Data Center (SDDC) where the main data center infrastructure viz. compute, networking, storage and security are virtualized. The provisioning and operation of the SDDC infrastructure is completely automated by software and each of the infrastructure is delivered as a service. Despite the proliferation of SDDC, the adoption of SDDC with IoT is still at its very beginning. Especially there are a lack of intelligent resource management techniques covering the end-to-end IoT and IT fabric. In an attempt to bridge this gap, we present a resource modelling framework based on semantic technologies using ontologies. To that end, the key contribution of this paper lies in being one of the first attempts in the modelling the IoT ecosystem comprising of IoT and SDDC using semantic based approaches and derive a cohesive/unified ontology. The usefulness of the cohesive ontology is demonstrated with solutions to certain problems pertinent in the Operational Technology (OT)/Information Technology (IT) convergence space and resource allocation.","PeriodicalId":156315,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE International Conference on Cloud Computing in Emerging Markets (CCEM)","volume":"37 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131477019","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 infrastructure services must be adapted dynamically to accommodate customer demands and yet, operate within offerings of the CSP. Although multiple approaches for homogeneous clouds are available, more realistic platforms based on heterogeneous resources and virtual machines (VMs) present unique challenges. Our resource management algorithm allocates memory, network and computational resources to heterogeneous VMs, in order to provide customized fine-grained control for the scalable capacity planning of data centers. Weighted fair-share (WFS) queues: high, medium and low are used to classify the incoming jobs in buckets of appropriate length based on priority. The highest priority jobs with aggressive deadlines are allowed to progress at a similar pace using round-robin scheduling, while lowest priority jobs are allocated on Low Queue with First-Come-First-Serve (FCFS) scheduling. The proposed algorithm performs better on throughput related metrics: number of instructions executed (30% more), turn-around and waiting times (on an average of about 10% less) w.r.t. standard policies such as shortest job first (SJF) and FCFS.","PeriodicalId":156315,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE International Conference on Cloud Computing in Emerging Markets (CCEM)","volume":"74 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121592705","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 India alone, 35% of field crops are lost to pathogens and pests causing losses to farmers. Indiscriminate use of pesticides is also a serious health concern as many are toxic and biomagnified. These adverse effects can be avoided by early disease detection, crop surveillance and targeted treatments. Most diseases are diagnosed by agricultural experts by examining external symptoms. However, farmers have limited access to experts. Our project is the first integrated and collaborative platform for automated disease diagnosis, tracking and forecasting. Farmers can instantly and accurately identify diseases and get solutions with a mobile app by photographing affected plant parts. Real-time diagnosis is enabled using the latest Artificial Intelligence (AI) algorithms for Cloud-based image processing. The AI model continuously learns from user uploaded images and expert suggestions to enhance its accuracy. Farmers can also interact with local experts through the platform. For preventive measures, disease density maps with spread forecasting are rendered from a Cloud based repository of geo-tagged images and micro-climactic factors. A web interface allows experts to perform disease analytics with geographical visualizations. In our experiments, the AI model (CNN) was trained with large disease datasets, created with plant images self-collected from many farms over 7 months. Test images were diagnosed using the automated CNN model and the results were validated by plant pathologists. Over 95% disease identification accuracy was achieved. Our solution is a novel, scalable and accessible tool for disease management of diverse agricultural crop plants and can be deployed as a Cloud based service for farmers and experts for ecologically sustainable crop production.","PeriodicalId":156315,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE International Conference on Cloud Computing in Emerging Markets (CCEM)","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133843507","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}
