This study proposes a norm augmented reinforcement learning framework (NARLF) that extends said model to include a norm deliberation mechanism for learned norms re-imputation for norm biased decision-making RL agents. This study aims to test the effects of synthesized norms applied on-line and off-line on agent learning performance. The framework consists of the DD framework extended with a pre-processing and deliberation component to allow re-imputation of normative rules. A deliberation model, the Norm Augmented Q-Table (NAugQT), is proposed to map normative rules into RL agents via q-values weight updates. Results show that the framework is able to map and improve RL agent's performance but only when synthesized off-line edited absolute norm salience value norms are used. This shows limitations when unstable salience norms are applied. Improvement in norm extraction and pre-processing are required.","PeriodicalId":43384,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Cases on Information Technology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2024-07-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141642858","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 author of this article has carefully considered and summarized computer network teaching based on his years of teaching experience and has put forward suggestions for widespread application. This article discusses the application of translation. The necessity and connotation of transitioning to classroom mode were emphasized, and the design of this teaching method was emphasized, adopting a three-step approach of “consolidating and improving knowledge after class.” Therefore, teachers should start from their own perspective, based on process preview, in class learning, and after class review, find the connection point between flipped classroom and computer network courses, reflect on the problems in teaching, and adopt targeted teaching methods to solve problems. This article provides guidance for improving teachers' teaching level.","PeriodicalId":43384,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Cases on Information Technology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140692822","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}

Subject infiltration integrates psychological factors into subject learning, promoting healthy development. However, English learning can introduce issues like self-confidence and language anxiety. Early identification of mental health problems (MHP) is crucial. This study, rooted in humanistic psychology and constructivism, explores affective factors, strategies, teaching, and English listening. The algorithm, based on the DeepPsy model, shows promise, identifying 75% of students with MHP. This research aids universities in offering timely support to high-risk students, minimizing long-term harm. The algorithm contributes to a healthier learning environment by enhancing English teaching and addressing mental health issues early.","PeriodicalId":43384,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Cases on Information Technology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140721516","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}

They have to investigate potentially infected devices as well as certainly infected devices. However, as an organization's network expands, it is difficult to investigate all devices. In addition, the cybersecurity workforce shortage has risen, so organizations need to respond to incidents efficiently with limited human resources. To solve this problem, this paper proposes a tool to assist an incident response team. It can visualize ATT&CK techniques attacker used and, furthermore, detect lateral movements efficiently. The tool consists of two parts: a web application that extracts ATT&CK techniques from logs and a lateral movement detection system. The web application was implemented and could map the collected logs obtained from an actual Windows device to the ATT&CK matrix. Furthermore, actual lateral movements were performed in an experimental environment that imitated an organizational network, and the proposed detection system could detect them.","PeriodicalId":43384,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Cases on Information Technology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140227251","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}
