Integrating technology in the learning process for school age children is one of the challenges of this decade. Unfortunately, there is no focus on preschoolers that are born digital natives. In this paper, we address the problem of designing edutainment applications for preschoolers with the participation of educational experts, the kindergarten teachers. We describe how we have adapted the activities from the Participatory Design approach in the context of COVID19 pandemic, where social distancing was required, and we had to move all the design activities in an online setting. The results of our investigation show that participatory design is possible even in an online setting, but some limitations are determined by the lack of in-person interaction. At the same time, an advantage due to the flexibility and shared access to resources is underlined.","PeriodicalId":348414,"journal":{"name":"International Joural of User-System Interaction","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125182640","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 method can be used to reduce food waste, having a significant impact on the design of smart refrigerators and can prove especially useful for persons with vision difficulties, by combining it with a speech synthesis engine. The main problem in designing an efficient solution for expiry date recognition is the lack of a large enough dataset to train deep neural networks. To tackle this issue, we propose to use an additional dataset composed of synthetically generated images. Both the synthetic and real image datasets are detailed in the paper and we show that the proposed method offers a 9.4% accuracy improvement over using real images alone.","PeriodicalId":348414,"journal":{"name":"International Joural of User-System Interaction","volume":"160 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131481133","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}

In this paper, we present a plagiarism detection approach which uses state-of-the-art deep learning techniques in order to provide more accurate results than classical plagiarism detection techniques. This approach goes beyond classical word searching and matching, which is time-consuming and can be easily cheated because it uses attention mechanisms and aims for text encoding and contextualization. In order to get proper insight regarding the system, we investigate three approaches in order to be sure that the results are relevant and well-validated.
