Digitalization and digitization have become the main driving force of the transformation in education practices. The COVID-19 pandemic ushered in a dramatic shift in the way education is delivered. The sudden move to online platforms brought concepts like digital-, online-, mixed-. hybrid-, blended education/learning to the forefront, while other concepts such as elearning, distance and mobile learning are still popular. This paper considers the usage, popularity and spread of these terms, and through backing them with ICT advancement, LMS and Moodle improvements and the time-space-group triangle of elearning, it depicts the viral nature of these narratives. The paper concludes that the use of the terms follows the nature of epidemics.","PeriodicalId":321907,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE 15th International Symposium on Applied Computational Intelligence and Informatics (SACI)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-05-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131002215","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 advancement of artificial intelligence have opened the door to developing innovative methods in malaria treatment. Introducing machine learning approaches to this field can be beneficial in the disease prevention, detection, and therapy. In this work, convolutional neural networks for malaria detection are developed, based on the classification of thin blood smear images of the potentially infected cells. Input data was preprocessed using the image segmentation, file organization, image size standardization, color channel adjustment, and data splitting. Further, the proposed methodology included image conversion, network architecture defining, parameter tuning and network training. Various architectures of convolutional neural networks were developed and evaluated. In addition, multiple values of different network layer parameters were assessed. This study was implemented in Clojure programming language. Proposed network architecture includes two convolutional and pooling layers followed by activation functions, batch normalization and two linear layers. This convolutional neural network provided the best results and achieved an 82.7% accuracy. Furthermore, this paper proposes another network model with lightweight configuration and a slight accuracy decrease.","PeriodicalId":321907,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE 15th International Symposium on Applied Computational Intelligence and Informatics (SACI)","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-05-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123166631","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 merging procedure is based on cluster volumes, which merge two closed and similar cluster into a new one. The resulting cluster center is a weighted averaging of merged cluster centers, together with covariance matrix which is calculated from the covariance matrices of the small clusters. The proposed classification algorithm was used on two classical classification data sets, i.e. iris and breast cancer data set, and compared with other methods. The method shows very similar results, but has an important advantage, namely it works recursively, in a single-pass manner.","PeriodicalId":321907,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE 15th International Symposium on Applied Computational Intelligence and Informatics (SACI)","volume":"74 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-05-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129740956","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}

Then an estimate can be given for the number of people in other compartments. From these data, it is possible to track the time dependent reproduction numbers via a recursive least squares estimate.
