They are of primary importance in Vietnam where about 90% of the water used is for irrigation and aquaculture and where agriculture is the largest employer and a major contributor to the national GDP and to the income of the low-salary households. Nevertheless, irrigation systems have recently been subjected to several issues including increasing demand, pollution, under-investment, depletion of resources or environmental changes. Any mitigation measure against these issues needs to be sustainable with respect to the very diverse uses of the water, the changing conditions upstream and downstream, and the somewhat conflicting objectives carried out by land-use/agricultural planning on one hand and urbanization and society well-being on the other. This need of sustainability requires the design of innovative tools to tackle these issues. This work aims at exploring the usage of Agent-Based Modelling coupled with a tangible and interactive interface in order to enhance interactions between stakeholders and support the evaluation of various alternatives of the management of the Bac Hung Hai irrigation system.","PeriodicalId":275683,"journal":{"name":"2020 12th International Conference on Knowledge and Systems Engineering (KSE)","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-11-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128663493","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}

It requires a long time and other resources to uncover the potential lncRNA-disease associations by biological experiments, so developing computational methods to predict lncRNA-disease associations has become a hot topic in recent years. The prediction methods can basically rely on known lncRNA-disease associations or multitypes of data and molecular interaction networks. In this paper, we employ a method based on known lncRNA-disease associations, known disease-miRNA associations and validated lncRNA-miRNA interactions to construct a lncRNA-disease-miRNA tripartite graph and apply a modified resource allocation process to predict lncRNA-disease associations. In comparing with other related methods, our method achieves better performance with AUC and AUPR values of 0.984 and 0.828, respectively. Additionally, our method can predict latent lncRNA-disease associations for isolated lncRNAs or diseases.","PeriodicalId":275683,"journal":{"name":"2020 12th International Conference on Knowledge and Systems Engineering (KSE)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-11-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116986985","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}

Several big projects have been provided with a large amount of -omics and drug response data for human cell lines such as GDSC and CCLE and for patients such as GEO. Based on these useful datasets, many computational methods are increasingly being applied to predict not only untested drug responses on cell lines but also those on the patients. Such approaches built prediction models for drug response on cell line data then applied the learned models to predict drug response on the patient. In this way, it also helps to tackle the disparity between models trained on cell lines and their clinical applications. However, the datasets are highly heterogeneous in terms of the used array techniques, drug response measurements, and so on, thus leading to inconsistent results across computational methods on different datasets. Therefore, in this study, we assessed seven machine learning models built on the cell line datasets and then applied them to the patient datasets. Experimental results show that models built on pan-cancer cell lines cannot work well on every cancer-specific patient dataset Also, patient datasets with larger sizes were suggested to measure the prediction performance of each method correctly.","PeriodicalId":275683,"journal":{"name":"2020 12th International Conference on Knowledge and Systems Engineering (KSE)","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-11-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115462602","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}

To select a suitable SPSS system, both speech quality and performance efficiency (e.g. decoding time) must be taken into account. In the paper, we compared four popular Vietnamese SPSS techniques using: 1) hidden Markov models (HMM), 2) deep neural networks (DNN), 3) generative adversarial networks (GAN), and 4) end-to-end (E2E) architectures, which consists of Tacontron 2 and WaveGlow vocoder in terms of speech quality and performance efficiency. We showed that the E2E systems accomplished the best quality, but required the power of GPU to achieve real-time performance. We also showed that the HMM- based system had inferior speech quality, but it was the most efficient system. Surprisingly, the E2E systems were more efficient than the DNN and GAN in inference on GPU. Surprisingly, the GAN-based system did not outperform the DNN in term of quality.","PeriodicalId":275683,"journal":{"name":"2020 12th International Conference on Knowledge and Systems Engineering (KSE)","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-05-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125598620","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}
