Hence, by applying the concept of Knowledge Discover in Database (KDD), this study aims to build a graduates’ employment prediction model using classification task in Bayes and Tree Methods. The data utilized for this purpose are collected from the tracer survey conducted to Oman Tourism College alumni. Based on the graduates’ profiles, the generated model predicts whether a graduate is employed full-time, part-time, self-employed or unemployed. Using several classification techniques provided by Waikato Environment for Knowledge Analysis (WEKA), the findings revealed that RandomTree algorithm and REPTree algorithms, under decision tree methods yielded accuracy rates of 96.3636% and 88.1818% respectively. BayesNet algorithm, a variant of Bayes algorithm yielded an accuracy of 84.5455%, ranked third. Information gain and ranker method are also used for attribute ranking which showed occupation as the most influential factor for employability followed by job sector. Other attributes used in classifying the employment status of the graduates include occupation, job sector, specialization, degree, age, personality development skills, cultural competency, leadership, interpersonal skills, creativity, and problem-solving skills. This experiment concludes that a tree-based classifier is the most suitable algorithm for predicting tourism graduates’ employability in the tourism and hospitality sector of the Sultanate of Oman.","PeriodicalId":211080,"journal":{"name":"2023 IEEE/ACIS 21st International Conference on Software Engineering Research, Management and Applications (SERA)","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120992371","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}

Using knowledge graph is an effective way while the knowledge in the field of TCM is huge and messy. However, the structure of the TCM knowledge graph is often relatively sparse, which makes it highly limited. To this end, a rule-based compositional representation learning (RCRL) model is proposed. RCRL uses the implicit rules in the TCM knowledge graph, which solves the problem of poor representation learning due to the sparse structure of the TCM knowledge graph to a certain extent. Extensive experiments are conducted on the TCM knowledge graph and public datasets, and they are compared with other baselines. Experimental results show that RCRL is superior to other baselines, with improved learning accuracy and interpretability, and can be used for various downstream tasks.","PeriodicalId":211080,"journal":{"name":"2023 IEEE/ACIS 21st International Conference on Software Engineering Research, Management and Applications (SERA)","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127274082","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}

These data are fed into the Highway Performance Monitoring System used to assess the nation’s highway system performance. Classifying vehicles (i.e., identifying their types, e.g., passenger cars, trucks, etc.) during nighttime is quite challenging due to limited lighting. This study designed and evaluated three Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) models to classify vehicles using their thermal images. These three models have architectures that differ in the number of layers and, in the case of the third model, the addition of an inception layer. Of these, the second model achieves the best performance, achieving mean accuracy scores of greater than 97% for each of the three vehicle classes and f1 scores of greater than 98%. We proposed two training-test methods based on data augmentation to avoid over-fitting and to improve performance. The experimental results demonstrated that a data augmentation training-test method improves model performance further with regard to both accuracy and f1-score.","PeriodicalId":211080,"journal":{"name":"2023 IEEE/ACIS 21st International Conference on Software Engineering Research, Management and Applications (SERA)","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128226250","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}

With no prior knowledge of this disease, people have turned to the Internet including social media to search for available remedies. However, it is important to note that the Internet cannot replace primary healthcare providers as there is a significant amount of false information. This research proposes a system to identify fake news by combining the results from several ensemble learning methods (including bagging, boosting, stacking, & voting means) and recurrent neural network (RNN). Additionally, sentiment and emotional analyses are employed to determine whether the accuracy of fake news detection can be improved. Experiment results show the ensemble learning methods provide higher accuracy than standalone RNN model. Moreover, this study reveals that incorporating sentiment and emotional analyses in fake news detection improves the accuracy of misinformation identification.","PeriodicalId":211080,"journal":{"name":"2023 IEEE/ACIS 21st International Conference on Software Engineering Research, Management and Applications (SERA)","volume":"42 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124705227","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}

However, these systems are composed of massive hardware resources, which can easily cause their subcomponents to fail. Fault tolerance is a key attribute of such systems as they maintain availability, reliability and constant performance during failures. Implementing efficient fault-tolerant solutions in big data presents a challenge because fault tolerance has to satisfy some constraints related to system performance and resource consumption. To protect online computer systems from malicious attacks or malfunctions, log anomaly detection is crucial. This paper provides a new approach to identify anomalous log sequences in the HDFS (Hadoop Distributed File System) log dataset using three algorithms: Logbert, DeepLog and LOF. Then, it assess performance of all algorithms in terms of accuracy, recall, and F1-score.","PeriodicalId":211080,"journal":{"name":"2023 IEEE/ACIS 21st International Conference on Software Engineering Research, Management and Applications (SERA)","volume":"73 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133987951","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}

As a result, students can engage further in courses that will benefit them in terms of job readiness and preparedness. This leads students to earn badges associated with top in-demand skills required by the labor market. In turn, this can increase students’ opportunities to obtain jobs related to their skills.
