In this paper, we propose an alternative way to prove someone’s address using a decentralized social trust solution. Because our design choices, this solution is able to work offline and does not need a logically centralized repository of all issued proof-of-address, in oppose to what would be achieved by using existing accretionary ID solutions. We validated this proposal by building a mobile application, using it in a real experiment in a Brazilian favela, and collecting mobile data. We also interviewed 20 people to complement our validation and help to guide the next steps of this work. The experiment showed that the solution is viable and easy to use. It is possible to adopt an approach like the one proposed to prove other facts, like gender, sex and income. These proofs may be used for different initiatives, like social programs, purpose-driven lending or other decentralized finance services.","PeriodicalId":265412,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE 13th International Conference on Software Engineering and Service Science (ICSESS)","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122352249","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, few comparisons and evaluations of labelling techniques have been made in this field. To address this problem, the effectiveness of three labelling methods Raw Return (RR), Fixed Time Horizon (FTH), and Triple Barrier (TB) methods have been studied and compared on Nasdaq 100 Index (NDX) with Multivariate Long Short-term Memory (LSTM) Fully Convolutional Network (MLSTM-FCN) deep learning model. The results are then compared using the confusion matrix and classification report. Experiment results demonstrate that the TB method achieves the highest F1 score on buying signal due to TB being an advanced method that adds two horizontal barriers defined by stop-loss and take-profit. Additionally, the model utilizing the FTH method has the highest overall accuracy, and the model using the RR method generates more accurate predictions of selling signals. The result, therefore, demonstrates that TB method can utilize its additional two barriers to improve price prediction accuracy.","PeriodicalId":265412,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE 13th International Conference on Software Engineering and Service Science (ICSESS)","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127542323","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, there are many difficulties in providing information to visitors, such as the occupation of human resources, language barriers and inaccurate answers, etc. By developing a chatbot to answer the questions from visitors instantly and consistently, helps to save human resources and increase the efficiency of work. An intelligent chatbot can not only provide accurate and appropriate responses but also bring a great communication experience to the visitors. This research uses Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Deep Learning (DL) techniques to develop a chatbot that can engage in interactive conversations with visitors for the MPU open day. A high-performance neural network is built to learn from the given dataset and can accurately answer questions about the MPU open day. Besides, STT (Speech-to-Text) and TTS (Text-to-Speech) APIs are used in this work to assist the communication between computers and humans. This work can be used as a reference framework of fast implementation of a chatbot for any knowledge area with an easy-to-adapt web interface.","PeriodicalId":265412,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE 13th International Conference on Software Engineering and Service Science (ICSESS)","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130648544","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, the performance of the algorithms deteriorates progressively in handling many-objective optimization problems due to the sensitivity of the curve of the Pareto front, which is usually hard to obtain beforehand. Convergence and diversity strongly depend on the geometry of the Pareto front. This paper proposes a novel algorithm consisting of an angle-based selection strategy and Pareto front estimation method. These two strategies are employed in the environment selection to select promising solutions. The proposed algorithm is compared with five representative algorithms on nine test problems. The experiment results show that the proposed algorithm outperforms state-of-the-art compared algorithms.","PeriodicalId":265412,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE 13th International Conference on Software Engineering and Service Science (ICSESS)","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114768564","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}

Currently used methods typically involve handcrafted feature extraction, a process that is both difficult and requires specialized knowledge, and results can still be subpar. We proposed a deep learning technique for SLAR called LSTM-XGB that uses data from inertial sensors in smartphones to reduce the effort required for feature development and selection. The proposed LSTM-XGB consists of multiple stacked LSTM layers to automatically learn the temporal features of the input, followed by XGBoost for label prediction in the final layer. The results showed that the proposed LSTM-XGB technique, which automatically extracts features, outperforms conventional machine learning that requires manual feature extraction. We also showed that sensor data from three sensors (accelerometer, linear acceleration, and gyroscope) can be combined. This achieved higher accuracy than other combinations or single sensors.","PeriodicalId":265412,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE 13th International Conference on Software Engineering and Service Science (ICSESS)","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115892411","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}

Fuzzy Query Parser converts a fuzzy query statement into a standard SQL query statement to achieve a true fuzzy query and adapt to the needs of flexible queries. The validity of the Fuzzy Query Parser is verified by a simple case and the technology is applied to the data query of Mongolian medicine prescriptions.

We propose a weighted kernel-based possibilistic and fuzzy clustering algorithm (WKPFCA) to solve this problem. The proposed WKPFCA considers the contributions of different features to each cluster in the kernel clustering process, which reduces the influence of irrelevant (bad) features and increases the good ones. Compared with the existing hard and soft kernel-based clustering algorithms, the proposed WKPFCA is more robust and can generate more stable cluster centers. Experiments are carried out to verify UCI real data sets and aerospace images, and the proposed WKPFCA has certain superiority, compared with some classical and state-of-art algorithms,.
