The pedagogical challenges to collaborative technologies

Collaborative technologies offer a range of new ways of supporting learning by enabling learners to share and exchange both ideas and their own digital products. This paper considers how best to exploit these opportunities from the perspective of learners’ needs. New technologies invariably excite a creative explosion of new ideas for ways of doing teaching and learning, although the technologies themselves are rarely designed with teaching and learning in mind. To get the best from them for education we need to start with the requirements of education, in terms of both learners’ and teachers’ needs. The argument put forward in this paper is to use what we know about what it takes to learn, and build this into a pedagogical framework with which to challenge digital technologies to deliver a genuinely enhanced learning experience.

HELOP: Multi-target tracking based on heuristic empirical learning algorithm and occlusion processing

Multi-target tracking is one of the important fields in computer vision, which aims to solve the problem of matching and correlating targets between adjacent frames. In this paper, we propose a fine-grained track recoverable (FGTR) matching strategy and a heuristic empirical learning (HEL) algorithm. The FGTR matching strategy divides the detected targets into two different sets according to the distance between them, and adopts different matching strategies respectively, in order to reduce false matching, we evaluated the trust degree of the target’s appearance feature information and location feature information, adjusted the proportion of the two reasonably, and improved the accuracy of target matching. In order to solve the problem of trajectory drift caused by the cumulative increase of Kalman filter error during the occlusion process, the HEL algorithm predicts the position information of the target in the next few frames based on the effective information of other previous target trajectories and the motion characteristics of related targets. Make the predicted trajectory closer to the real trajectory. Our proposed method is tested on MOT16 and MOT17, and the experimental results verify the effectiveness of each module, which can effectively solve the occlusion problem and make the tracking more accurate and stable.     

Optimal Machine Learning Enabled Performance Monitoring for Learning Management Systems

Learning Management System (LMS) is an application software that is used in automation, delivery, administration, tracking, and reporting of courses and programs in educational sector. The LMS which exploits machine learning (ML) has the ability of accessing user data and exploit it for improving the learning experience. The recently developed artificial intelligence (AI) and ML models helps to accomplish effective performance monitoring for LMS. Among the different processes involved in ML based LMS, feature selection and classification processes find beneficial. In this motivation, this study introduces Glowworm-based Feature Selection with Machine Learning Enabled Performance Monitoring (GSO-MFWELM) technique for LMS. The key objective of the proposed GSO-MFWELM technique is to effectually monitor the performance in LMS. The proposed GSO-MFWELM technique involves GSO-based feature selection technique to select the optimal features. Besides, Weighted Extreme Learning Machine (WELM) model is applied for classification process whereas the parameters involved in WELM model are optimally fine-tuned with the help of Mayfly Optimization (MFO) algorithm. The design of GSO and MFO techniques result in reduced computation complexity and improved classification performance. The presented GSO-MFWELM technique was validated for its performance against benchmark dataset and the results were inspected under several aspects. The simulation results established the supremacy of GSO-MFWELM technique over recent approaches with the maximum classification accuracy of 0.9589.     

A Multi-scale Attention-based Facial Emotion Recognition Method Based on Deep Learning

Recently, people have been paying more and more attention to mental health, such as depression, autism, and other common mental diseases. In order to achieve a mental disease diagnosis, intelligent methods have been actively studied. However, the existing models suffer the accuracy degradation caused by the clarity and oc-clusion of human faces in practical applications. This paper, thus, proposes a multi-scale feature fusion network that obtains feature information at three scales by locating the sentiment region in the image, and integrates global feature information and local feature information. In addition, a focal cross-entropy loss function is designed to improve the network''s focus on difficult samples during training, enhance the training effect, and increase the model recognition accuracy. Experimental results on the challenging RAF_DB dataset show that the proposed model exhibits better facial expression recognition accuracy than existing techniques.     

A hybrid disturbance observer for delivery drone’s oscillation suppression

This paper proposes a new hybrid disturbance observer (DOB) to help suppress disturbance to the control systems. The proposed hybrid DOB consists of three main parts: (1) an actual system, (2) a simulated system, and (3) a learning filter that connects the actual and simulated systems. The simulated system aims to replicate the actual system response, where it leverages a neural network model to predict the input disturbance and generate the predicted system response. Such system response is used to generate a learning signal through a learning filter; this learning signal is then added to the feedforward loop of the estimation framework to enhance the disturbance estimate and its suppression performance for the actual system. The proposed hybrid DOB is designed to advance the standard DOB structure with a learning-based feedforward compensation. While the proposed method does not modify the baseline controller, it is well suited to systems whose baseline controllers are difficult or impossible to be changed. Considering the delivery drones are subject to oscillations when dropping payloads, experimental tests with multiple payload dropping scenarios have been conducted using both the hybrid and standard DOB, where the compared results validate the effectiveness and advantages of the proposed hybrid DOB.
