The collaborated universities developed an optimal curriculum to enhance and nurture students' \"Future Work Skills 2020\" defined by the Institute for the Future, such future human skills as Sense Making, Social Intelligence, Novel & Adaptive Thinking, Cross-Cultural Competencies, Computational Thinking, New Media Literacy, Transdisciplinarity, Design Mindset, Cognitive Load Management, and Virtual Collaboration. The curriculum fully employs PBL strategies in global teams, where teams for PBL are organized with students with heterogeneous cultural backgrounds in the virtual learning environment. The basic concept of such curriculum is based on COIL (Collaborative Online International Learning), originally developed by State University of New York. COIL makes full usage of IT to generate virtual learning environment for students worldwide. In order to go beyond the COIL concept incorporating the future skills defined by IFTF, the allied universities employed PBL in global AGILE teams to deepen insights from various cultural viewpoints in terms of consensus building through team discussions. Due to the spatial and temporal differences, enrolled students conducted their team learning activities in the virtual learning environment asynchronously, making use of IT technologies and cloud services in order to be on \"the same page\" in the progress of the project throughout the course. Further, the assessment strategies to enhance students' efficacy is the key factor in the course, which is also discussed with examples. This paper reports the global PBL active learning curriculum and environment collaboratively developed with the universities in Taiwan and Kansai University.","PeriodicalId":211734,"journal":{"name":"2018 Conference on Technologies and Applications of Artificial Intelligence (TAAI)","volume":"98 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":"116459414","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 makes it important to have an efficient mosquito classification system. In this paper, we implement a mosquito classification system which is capable of identifying Aedes and Culex (types of the mosquito) automatically. To facilitate the implementation of such Internet of Things (IoT) based system, we first create a trap device with a stable area for filming mosquitoes. Then, we analyze video frames in order to reduce the video size for transmission. We also build a model to identify different types of mosquitoes using deep learning. Later, we fine-tune the edge computing on the trap device to optimize the system efficiency. Finally, we integrate the device and the model into a mosquito classification system and test the system in wild fields in Taiwan. The tests show significant results when the experiments are conducted in the rural area. We are able to achieve an accuracy of 98% for validation data and 90.5% for testing data.","PeriodicalId":211734,"journal":{"name":"2018 Conference on Technologies and Applications of Artificial Intelligence (TAAI)","volume":"161 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":"115996337","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 performance of MCTS players is often leveraged in combination with offline knowledge, i.e., evaluation functions. In particular, recently AlphaGo and AlphaGo Zero achieved a big success in developing strong computer Go player by combining evaluation functions consisting of deep neural networks with a variant of PUCT (Predictor + UCB applied to trees). The effect of evaluation functions on the strength of MCTS algorithms, however, has not been investigated well, especially in terms of the quality of evaluation functions. In this study, we address this issue and empirically analyze the AlphaGo's PUCT algorithm by using Othello (Reversi) as the target game. We investigate the strength of PUCT players using variants of an existing evaluation function of a champion-level computer player. From intensive experiments, we found that the PUCT algorithm works very well especially with a good evaluation function and that the value function has more importance than the policy function in the PUCT algorithm.","PeriodicalId":211734,"journal":{"name":"2018 Conference on Technologies and Applications of Artificial Intelligence (TAAI)","volume":"25 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":"123502514","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 the increasing number of social media usage, a trend has been observed of users creating posts related to adverse drug reactions (ADR). Mining social media data for these information can be used for pharmacological post-marketing surveillance and monitoring. However, the development of automatic ADR detection systems remains challenging because the corpora compiled from real world social media were usually highly imbalanced resulting in barriers to develop classifiers with reliable performance. In this work, we implemented a variety of imbalanced techniques and compared their performance on two large imbalanced data sets released for the purpose of detecting ADR posts. Comparing with state-of-the-art approaches developed for the two dataset, based on much less features, the developed classifiers with implemented imbalanced classification techniques achieved comparable or even better F-scores.","PeriodicalId":211734,"journal":{"name":"2018 Conference on Technologies and Applications of Artificial Intelligence (TAAI)","volume":"1 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":"121063843","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 cluster problem has been proved to be an NP-hard problem. In this paper, a hybrid algorithm based on Whole optimization algorithm (WOA) and Crow search algorithm (CSA) is proposed, namely HWCA. The HWCA algorithm has the advantages of the search strategy of the WOA and CSA. In addition to, there are two operators used to improve the quality of solution, namely hybrid individual operator and enhance diversity operator. The hybrid individual operator is used to exchanges individuals from the WOA and CSA systems by using the roulette wheel approach. In other hand, the HWCA performs enhance diversity operator to improve the quality of each system. More over, the HWCA is incorporated with center optimization strategy to enhance diversity of each system. In the performance evaluation, the proposed MPGO algorithm was comparison WOA and CSA algorithm with six well-known UCI benchmarks. The results show that the proposed algorithm has a higher measure of accuracy rate with comparison algorithms.","PeriodicalId":211734,"journal":{"name":"2018 Conference on Technologies and Applications of Artificial Intelligence (TAAI)","volume":"26 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":"127210172","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 Q-Network (DQN), which is a model of reinforcement learning based on deep neural networks, succeeded in learning human-level control policies on various kinds of Atari 2600 games with image pixel inputs. Because an input of DQN is the game frames of the last four steps, DQN had difficulty on mastering such games that need to remember events earlier than four steps in the past. To alleviate the problem, Deep Recurrent Q-Network (DRQN) and Deep Attention Recurrent Q-Network (DARQN) were proposed. In DRQN, the first fully-connected layer just after convolutional layers is replaced with an LSTM to incorporate past information. DARQN is a model with visual attention mechanisms on top of DRQN. We propose two new reinforcement learning models: Deep Recurrent Q-Network with Truncated History (T-DRQN) and Deep Attention Recurrent Q-Network with Truncated History (T-DARQN). T-DRQN uses a truncated history so that we can control the length of history to be considered. T-DARQN is a model with visual attention mechanism on top of T-DRQN. Experiments of our models on six games of Atari 2600 shows a level of performance between DQN and D(A) RQN. Furthermore, results show the necessity of using past information with a truncated length, rather than using only the current information or all of the past information.","PeriodicalId":211734,"journal":{"name":"2018 Conference on Technologies and Applications of Artificial Intelligence (TAAI)","volume":"39 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":"116088324","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}
