Selection of a right academic program at right time can save time, efforts and resources of both parents and educational institutions. To achieve this goal, an intelligent decision support system (IDSS) is essential to predict students’ performance prior to their admissions in any academic program or getting promoted to the higher classes in an academic program. Scope of this work is to first identify key features, influencing students’ performance, and then develop an accurate predication model for prediction of their performance, prior to taking admission in an intended program or deciding to continue for higher classes and semesters in the same program or to quit the program at this stage. In this study, first, a subjective method is used for identification of academic and socio-economic features to develop the prediction model and then a decision tree-based algorithm, Logistic Model Trees (LMT), is adopted to learn the intrinsic relationship between the identified features and students’ academic grades. The proposed model is trained and tested on a real-world dataset of 1,021 records, collected from examination database of the University of Peshawar. Simulation of the results is performed in Weka 3.8 environment with its default parameters and 10-folds cross validation setting. The proposed system achieved predictive accuracy of 83.48%,which guides parents, management of higher education institutions and students itself to decide whether they should go forward or quit this program at this stage.","PeriodicalId":371385,"journal":{"name":"2019 10th International Conference on Information, Intelligence, Systems and Applications (IISA)","volume":"124 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121208137","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 goal of Lip Reading (LR) is to understand the spoken work using only visual information, a process also known as Visual Speech Recognition (VSR). This method has several advantages over Speech Recognition, as it can work from a distance and is not affected by other sounds like noise in the environment. In this manner, LR can be considered as an alternative method for speech decoding which can be combined with state-of-the-art speech recognition technologies. The contribution of this work is two-fold. Firstly, a novel dataset with image sequences from Greek words is presented. In total, 10 persons spoke 50 words while they were either driving or simply sitting in the passenger’s seat of a car. The image sequences were recorded with a mobile phone mounted on the windshield of the car. Secondly, the recognition pipeline consists of a Convolutional Neural Network followed by a Long-Short Term Memory Network with a plain attention mechanism. This architecture maps the image sequences to words following an end-to-end learning scheme. Experimental results with various protocols indicate that speaker independent Lip Reading is an extremely challenging problem.","PeriodicalId":371385,"journal":{"name":"2019 10th International Conference on Information, Intelligence, Systems and Applications (IISA)","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129857315","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}

Complex models, such as ensemble or deep learning models, are hard to interpret. Various methods have been proposed that deal with this matter. Shapley values provide accurate explanations, as they assign each feature an importance value for a particular prediction. However, the exponential complexity of their calculation is dealt efficiently only in decision tree-based models. Another method is surrogate models, which emulate a black-box model's behavior and provide explanations effortlessly, since they are constructed to be interpretable. Surrogate models are model-agnostic, but they produce only approximate explanations, which cannot always be trusted. We propose a method that combines these two approaches, so that we can take advantage of the model-agnostic part of the surrogate models, as well as the explanatory power of the Shapley values. We introduce a new metric, Topj Similarity, that measures the similitude of two given explanations, produced by Shapley values, in order to evaluate our work. Finally, we recommend ways on how this method could be improved further.","PeriodicalId":371385,"journal":{"name":"2019 10th International Conference on Information, Intelligence, Systems and Applications (IISA)","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130363638","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 particular, to address cases where the demand of airspace use exceeds capacity, we consider agents representing flights, who need to decide jointly on ground delays at the pre-tactical stage of operations, towards executing their trajectories while adhering to airspace capacity constraints. In doing so, agents collaborate, applying collaborative multi-agent reinforcement learning methods. Specifically, starting from a multiagent Markov Decision Process problem formulation, we introduce a flat and a hierarchical collaborative multiagent reinforcement learning method at two levels (the ground and an abstract one). To quantitatively assess the quality of solutions of the proposed approaches and show the potential of the hierarchical method in resolving the demand-capacity balance problems, we provide experimental results on real-world evaluation cases, where we measure the average delay of flights and the number of flights with delays.","PeriodicalId":371385,"journal":{"name":"2019 10th International Conference on Information, Intelligence, Systems and Applications (IISA)","volume":"69 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126399950","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}

People use microblogs to communicate with each other, express their opinion about a wide range of topics and inform themselves about issues they are interested in. The increasing volume of information generated in microblogs has led to the need of automatically determining the sentiment expressed in microblog comments. Researchers have worked in systematically analyzing microblog comments in order to identify the sentiment expressed in them. Most work in sentiment analysis of microblog comments has been focused on comments written in the English language, whereas fewer efforts have been made in predicting the sentiment of Greek microblog comments. In this paper, we propose a lexicon-based sentiment analysis algorithm for the sentiment classification of both Greek and English microblog comments. The proposed method uses a unified approach for determining the sentiment of comments written in both languages and incorporates techniques that exploit the distinctive features of the language used in microblogs in order to accurately predict the sentiment expressed in microblog comments. Our approach achieves promising results for the sentiment classification of microblog comments into positive, negative or neutral.","PeriodicalId":371385,"journal":{"name":"2019 10th International Conference on Information, Intelligence, Systems and Applications (IISA)","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132921085","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 view of the above, this paper presents artificial intelligence dynamic clustering of learners’ characteristics for preserving the learning pace of each student. As a testbed of our research, we have designed and implemented an adaptive system for providing individualized tutoring of mathematics to elementary school students. Dynamic clustering takes as input several students’ characteristics, namely pre-existing knowledge, current and previous knowledge level, etc., in order to construct homogeneous student clusters. Through dynamic clustering, the system provides individualized hints to students for improving knowledge acquisition, recommendation for group collaboration, domain knowledge delivery and trophies. The system was evaluated using an established framework and the results show that its incorporated intelligent techniques can offer individualized and adaptive learning while retaining a high level of pedagogical affordance.","PeriodicalId":371385,"journal":{"name":"2019 10th International Conference on Information, Intelligence, Systems and Applications (IISA)","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123660481","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}
