This paper presents a multi-Leap Motion-based training method for Finger Pair Movement (FPM) rehabilitation. This method first uses 3 Leap Motions to obtain the hand movement information and uses the Iterative Closest Points Algorithm (ICP) to register finger movements precisely from different angles, which could avoid the traditional obscured problem from the single angle. Then use the Self-Organizing Maps algorithm (SOM) to map the required 9 Finger Pair Movements. ICP algorithm obtains 3D point cloud from multiLeap Motions and completes data registration, which outputs high integrity three-dimensional spatial information of the hand joint skeleton. Using the SOM algorithm can solve the problem of obtaining data containing too much noise. The proposed method has been employed in clinical trials. The experimental results show that the proposed method has high efficiency, high error tolerance, and good performance.","PeriodicalId":405827,"journal":{"name":"2017 2nd International Conference on Information Technology (INCIT)","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121805239","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 ensemble technique is objectively used to improve the accuracy of single back-propagation neural network. Such technique alleviates uncertain generalization of the trained network due to its random initial weight and bias values and noisy data. This comparison includes linear regression, back-propagation neural networks, support vector machine, k-nearest neighbor, ensemble voting and bagging techniques. Seven benchmark regression datasets were used for evaluation. The experimental results indicated that the voting and bagging ensemble techniques provided considerable improvement. In addition, continued from the previous work, this paper also applied ensemble techniques to predict monthly rainfall time series data and compared to the back-propagation neural network optimized by the genetic algorithm. The results showed that voting and bagging ensemble techniques as well as genetic algorithm outstandingly improved the performance of single back-propagation neural network.","PeriodicalId":405827,"journal":{"name":"2017 2nd International Conference on Information Technology (INCIT)","volume":"69 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124027895","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}

Recently, a network emulator has been used for teaching students to configure network devices, such as routers and switches, to practice in real network configuration scenarios without purchasing network hardware. Previous studies usually used standalone emulators to facilitate individual network learning. However, few studies applied collaboration in network learning. In this study, we proposed a web-based Hybrid Virtualization Laboratory (HVLab), which integrates network emulators and virtualization technology. The HVLab can support multiple network configuration scenarios (network emulators) for students to practice. Meanwhile, HVLab also implement collaborative mechanism to facilitate discussion among the experimental students. After experiment, the statistical results showed that the post-test scores of experimental group were higher than the control group. In addition, they outperform the control groups in homework and in-class assignment, especially when experimental students become more familiar with HVLab and know how to get benefit from collaboration using HVlab. Furthermore, the experimental students perceived that was easy to use the HVLab and useful for accomplishing assignment and homework. Most of the students also expressed they were highly motivated to use HVLab as learning tool in the future. Finally, the observation and questionnaire with experimental group showed that collaboration in HVLab was potentially helpful during the experiment.","PeriodicalId":405827,"journal":{"name":"2017 2nd International Conference on Information Technology (INCIT)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128991312","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 edutainment technology will help students to learn difficult topics more enjoyably and more efficient. This paper discusses the development of a novel virtual reality (VR) application called VRFiWall, destined to educating the Firewall concept, which is one of important topics in network security class. Our edutainment game is designed for university-level students and can be alternatively used to support in lecture-based class. Moreover, our game also supports both the desktop and mobile platforms, thus students can practice the game and review the security concepts easily via their mobile phones anywhere and anytime as well.","PeriodicalId":405827,"journal":{"name":"2017 2nd International Conference on Information Technology (INCIT)","volume":"135 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115947742","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 paper proposes the extraction of characters, scenes and relationship between one character and another from Thai children's tales. We construct a corpus for Thai children's tales called Nithan Thai and represent the semantic of the tales using a conceptual graph. The extracted information are evaluated by experts with the three questions, (i) which characters that you think their images should be appeared in the scene, (ii) which location that you think it should be presented in the scene, and (iii) what is the most noticeable relationship in the scene.

The HRAS is the client-server system. The HRAS client runs on web-based application to collect the health data via online questionnaire and shows the analysis results. The collected health data are transmitted to the server to assess the health risk level by using the proposed classifier named Risk Analysis Classifier or RAC. The classification algorithm and rule-based classifier are used to build the RAC. The RAC is evaluated using k-fold cross validation and the expert with annotated health data and unseen data. The evaluation results found that Neural Network does the best performance overall which it achieves the accuracy above 90% in all health data sets. Thus, the Neural Network is the most suitable classifier for this work. In addition, the HRAS has been deployed and collected the user experience via formal survey.
