In this study, an intelligent instrument for a real-time 3D PTV system is designed and developed based on the data flow streaming model. A high-level set of various functions is implemented following the client-server architectural model to provide services like 3D tracking and camera calibration. The model is deployed on several master-slave-based SoC FPGA acceleration boards to meet strict constraints like a high frame rate required for high trajectory precision. A functional decomposition of the 3D tracking service is elaborated to map particle detection and temporal tracking processes on three slave boards, one per camera. The remaining processing (spatial matching and 3D reconstruction) and the client requests management are mapped on the master board. On the FPGA processors of slave boards, treatment has been accelerated with a pipeline structure of the internal processes interleaved by FIFOs (First-In, First-Out) with the help of OpenCL. Experiments have been conducted using low-cost Intel DE10 standard boards.","PeriodicalId":518964,"journal":{"name":"2024 International Conference on Artificial Intelligence, Computer, Data Sciences and Applications (ACDSA)","volume":"286 2","pages":"1-6"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140528994","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 such a situation, accurate and robust prediction models are vital because they allow lenders to make rational decisions regarding loan approvals and risk management. This paper provides an overview of using XGBoost, a sophisticated machine learning algorithm, to improve credit score evaluation, and the XAI model, LIME, to describe the black box machine learning algorithm. XGBoost, a gradient boosting-based ensemble learning algorithm, has gained prominence for its capacity to give improved predicted accuracy while handling vast and complicated datasets. Its algorithmic characteristics, including regularization, parallel processing, and decision tree optimisation, make it especially well-suited for credit scoring problems. Because of its complexity, implementing XAI is critical since it will help lenders grasp the reasons for the result of the XGBoost. The results show how the XAI model, LIME, helps simplify the complexity of these models. It is critical to integrate XAI models since they will improve lender decision-making. The fundamental goal of this research is to evaluate the XAI model, LIME, and determine how well the XAI model explains the findings of our experimental tests. Furthermore, it illustrates the possibility of incorporating LIME into credit score analysis, resulting in more efficient lending procedures, enhanced risk management, and better decision-making. Finally, this paper emphasizes the importance of using advanced machine learning techniques such as XGBoost in credit scoring analysis, which has the potential to transform the way banks and other financial institutions assess credit risk, as well as include LIME for a better understanding of the results.","PeriodicalId":518964,"journal":{"name":"2024 International Conference on Artificial Intelligence, Computer, Data Sciences and Applications (ACDSA)","volume":"56 ","pages":"1-6"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140529001","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}

At the same time, development and testing of new technologies is troubled by inconsistent environments. Exchanging modules of a system during research becomes a major obstacle. As a result, baselines for comparisons are lacking, and evaluating new developments may lead to heavy time cost. Big industrial players typically circumvent this problem by relying on the scale of their datacenters, experiments, and problems, which makes them inherently interesting.We propose a softwarised testbed that abstracts away inevitable hardware differences. Its design closely follows the established philosophy to separate workloads and declare expressive interfaces between them. The result is a coherent testbed, consisting of interchangeable, but state of the art, components. It establishes Experiment-as-Code, where an experiment is declared to load generators programmatically. In sum, the testbed yields reproducible results. We verify networking, computational and interacting components by reproducing known results. We illustrate one use case of scaling under uncertainty the applicability for research. The whole system is hosted on-premise, with minimal hardware requirements, which enables especially academia to contribute. The low-effort in setup also allows handover to students and staff with the goal to ensure knowledge transfer.","PeriodicalId":518964,"journal":{"name":"2024 International Conference on Artificial Intelligence, Computer, Data Sciences and Applications (ACDSA)","volume":"877 22","pages":"1-5"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140528743","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}

Inaccurate integration can lead to incorrect analysis results. Entity resolution, which identifies similar entities across different data sources, is a crucial step in the integration process. Existing blocking techniques used to group similar entities before the matching step often neglect semantic criteria, resulting in reduced blocking quality. To address this, a new blocking architecture is proposed in this paper. The architecture incorporates a semantic similarity layer using natural language processing and deep learning techniques. The architecture is schema-agnostic and treats datasets as unstructured records to improve accuracy. Experimental results on benchmark dataset demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed architecture in terms of recall, reduction ratio, and F-measure.","PeriodicalId":518964,"journal":{"name":"2024 International Conference on Artificial Intelligence, Computer, Data Sciences and Applications (ACDSA)","volume":"39 8","pages":"1-4"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140528549","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 respect, the local authorities aim to utilize technology to meet the community needs, and among others to identify and address the sources of local problems. This work in progress describes the concept of the \"social/societal city\" and attempts to justify the reasons that the SC should evolve to a societal city. A societal city focuses on the people and living SC dimensions, and promote social well-being, justice, equality, and participation. To improve the performance of the services provided to their citizens, the municipal authorities must collect data from different sources, analyze them, identify local problems and their sources, and do the appropriate policy making to deal with the sources instead of simply responding with the consequences of the problems. This ongoing study uses a multi-method research methodology: it defines the societal city with findings from literature review. Then, it investigates accidents in the SC of Trikala, Greece and uses data triangulation to define their sources. Finally, it interviews the municipal authority to propose measures that require emergent strategic changes.","PeriodicalId":518964,"journal":{"name":"2024 International Conference on Artificial Intelligence, Computer, Data Sciences and Applications (ACDSA)","volume":"392 ","pages":"1-4"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140528763","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}
