Learned Image Compression with Discretized Gaussian Mixture Likelihoods and Attention Modules 基于离散高斯混合似然和注意模的学习图像压缩
G. Ranganathan, Bindhu
There have been many compression standards developed during the past few decades and technological advances has resulted in introducing many methodologies with promising results. As far as PSNR metric is concerned, there is a performance gap between reigning compression standards and learned compression algorithms. Based on research, we experimented using an accurate entropy model on the learned compression algorithms to determine the rate-distortion performance. In this paper, discretized Gaussian Mixture likelihood is proposed to determine the latent code parameters in order to attain a more flexible and accurate model of entropy. Moreover, we have also enhanced the performance of the work by introducing recent attention modules in the network architecture. Simulation results indicate that when compared with the previously existing techniques using high-resolution and Kodak datasets, the proposed work achieves a higher rate of performance. When MS-SSIM is used for optimization, our work generates a more visually pleasant image.
在过去的几十年里,已经开发了许多压缩标准,技术进步导致引入了许多有希望的结果的方法。就PSNR度量而言,主流压缩标准与学习压缩算法之间存在性能差距。在研究的基础上,我们对学习的压缩算法进行了精确熵模型的实验,以确定率失真的性能。为了得到更灵活、准确的熵模型,本文提出了离散高斯混合似然来确定隐码参数。此外,我们还通过在网络架构中引入最新的注意力模块来提高工作的性能。仿真结果表明,与先前使用高分辨率和柯达数据集的现有技术相比,所提出的工作实现了更高的性能。当使用MS-SSIM进行优化时,我们的工作生成了一个视觉上更令人愉快的图像。

Dr. S. Manoharan
Recently, the application of voice-controlled interfaces plays a major role in many real-time environments such as a car, smart home and mobile phones. In signal processing, the accuracy of speech recognition remains a thought-provoking challenge. The filter designs assist speech recognition systems in terms of improving accuracy by parameter tuning. This task is some degree of form filter’s narrowed specifications which lead to complex nonlinear problems in speech recognition. This research aims to provide analysis on complex nonlinear environment and exploration with recent techniques in the combination of statistical-based design and Support Vector Machine (SVM) based learning techniques. Dynamic Bayes network is a dominant technique related to speech processing characterizing stack co-occurrences. This method is derived from mathematical and statistical formalism. It is also used to predict the word sequences along with the posterior probability method with the help of phonetic word unit recognition. This research involves the complexities of signal processing that it is possible to combine sentences with various types of noises at different signal-to-noise ratios (SNR) along with the measure of comparison between the two techniques.
近年来,语音控制界面的应用在汽车、智能家居、手机等实时环境中发挥着重要作用。在信号处理中,语音识别的准确性仍然是一个发人深省的挑战。滤波器设计通过参数调整帮助语音识别系统提高精度。该任务在一定程度上缩小了表单滤波器的规格,从而导致语音识别中出现复杂的非线性问题。本研究将基于统计的设计与基于支持向量机(SVM)的学习技术相结合,对复杂的非线性环境进行分析和探索。动态贝叶斯网络是语音处理技术中主要的堆栈共现特征分析技术。这种方法是从数学和统计的形式化推导出来的。并结合后验概率方法,借助音标单元识别进行词序列预测。本研究涉及到信号处理的复杂性,即可以以不同的信噪比(SNR)将不同类型的噪声与句子组合在一起,并测量两种技术之间的比较。

Optimization of Citizen Broadband Radio Service Frequency Allocation for Dynamic Spectrum Access System 动态频谱接入系统中公民宽带无线电业务频率分配的优化
J. Chen, Lu-Tsou Yeh
With the increase in mobile broadband utilization, more spectrum release is recommended by the Federal Communications Commission for spectrum sharing under a three-tire system called Citizens Broadband Radio Service. The standardization, functional and operational necessities of this framework are defined by the Wireless Innovation Forum. If an unavoidable shipborne radar appears on the channel, the channel must be vacated by the lower tier users. The timing constraints on CBRS is also stringent. Wireless stations transmit short beacon frames termed as heartbeat signals. These signals consist of the wireless channel encryption data, Service Set Identifier (SSID) and other credential data. These signals also transmit commands to vacate a channel. The heartbeat interval, timing constraint and domain proxy features are analyzed in this paper. CBSD renunciation and spectrum acquisition is performed with the help of domain proxy based communication. The CBRS-SAS channel allocation algorithm is further investigated. The communication interoperability and network robustness can improved with the introduction of secondary SAS and secondary domain proxy respectively.
随着移动宽带利用率的增加,联邦通信委员会建议在名为“公民宽带无线电服务”的三轮系统下,释放更多的频谱,用于频谱共享。该框架的标准化、功能和操作需求由无线创新论坛定义。如果不可避免的舰载雷达出现在信道上,则必须由较低层次的用户腾出信道。CBRS的时间限制也很严格。无线电台传输称为心跳信号的短信标帧。这些信号由无线信道加密数据、服务集标识符(SSID)和其他凭证数据组成。这些信号还发送命令以腾出信道。分析了心跳间隔、定时约束和域代理特征。利用基于域代理的通信实现了CBSD的放弃和频谱获取。进一步研究了CBRS-SAS信道分配算法。通过引入辅助SAS和辅助域代理,可以提高通信互操作性和网络鲁棒性。

Non-Technological Food Service Innovation Models: Towards Building Value Creation in Restaurants within Hotels in Nairobi County, Kenya 非技术食品服务创新模式:在肯尼亚内罗毕县的酒店餐厅中创造价值
S. W. Kamau, B. Kalui
The food service industry has to continuously innovate; however, concerns have been raised regarding the issue of distinctive and customized innovation models. The study aimed at the general objective to investigate how non-technological food service innovation models create value in restaurants. The specific objective was to establish and explore the relationship between non-technological food service innovation models and value creation. The study used a cross-sectional descriptive survey research design which involved those hotel restaurants in Nairobi County that were registered with the Tourism Regulatory Authority (TRA) as at 2016. Multistage stratified sampling—as well as purposeful and random sampling techniques—were used with a sample size of 385 respondents. Data collection instruments included questionnaires, interview guide, and observation-checklist, achieving a response rate of 82.9%. The coded data was analysed using descriptive and inferential statistical data analytical methods. Hypotheses were tested using multinomial regression, t-test and chi-square. Food service innovation model had no significant relationship with value creation in restaurants (p-value of 0.554). The study concludes that there is a need for a systematic procedure/model for developing non-technological food service innovations. To these end the study proposes a new food service innovation model with new variable such as consultation of professionals. This will enable an innovative organizational culture and lead to significant cost savings in the food service industry, among other benefits.
餐饮服务业必须不断创新;然而,关于创新模式的特色和定制问题也引起了人们的关注。本研究旨在探讨非技术性餐饮服务创新模式如何在餐厅创造价值。具体目标是建立和探索非技术食品服务创新模式与价值创造之间的关系。该研究采用横断面描述性调查研究设计,涉及截至2016年在旅游管理局(TRA)注册的内罗毕县酒店餐厅。采用多阶段分层抽样以及有目的和随机抽样技术,样本量为385名受访者。数据收集工具包括问卷调查、访谈指南、观察清单,回复率为82.9%。采用描述性和推理性统计数据分析方法对编码数据进行分析。采用多项回归、t检验和卡方检验对假设进行检验。餐饮服务创新模式与餐厅价值创造无显著关系(p值为0.554)。该研究的结论是,需要一种系统的程序/模式来开发非技术食品服务创新。为此,本研究提出了一种新的餐饮服务创新模式,并引入了专业咨询等新的变量。这将促成一种创新的组织文化,并在食品服务行业中节省大量成本,以及其他好处。

The Impact of Demographic Influences on Work Engagement for Front of House Female Hotel Employees 人口统计学因素对酒店女前台员工工作投入的影响
Palesa Mpkhine, Ita Geyser
The demographic influences affecting the wellbeing of front of house (FoH) female employees who are employed in hotels. The work engagement subscales, vigour, dedication and absorption were measured against the participants’ age, level of education and marital status. A cross-sectional survey was done from a sample (n = 100) of female participants. A biographical questionnaire and The Utrecht Work Engagement Scale (UWES) were administered. Significant relationships were found on the vigour, dedication and absorption subscales. FoH female employees younger than 35, those with tertiary education and those without life partners displayed higher levels of wellbeing. Therefore work engagement levels vary with regards to age, marital and educational status. Human resource specialists for hotels could measure work engagement and apply it through in-house policies and supportive practices as well as defend these practices regarding their FOH female employees as female employees are the majority of employees within the hospitality industry. The workforce in South Africa is characterized by demographic diversity. The variances of work engagement are imperative as it enhances the guest experience and improves productivity and ultimately increases financial turnover for the hotels who operate in a very competitive market.
影响酒店前台女员工幸福感的人口因素。工作投入、精力、奉献和吸收的分量表是根据参与者的年龄、教育水平和婚姻状况来衡量的。横断面调查从样本(n = 100)的女性参与者。采用个人履历问卷和乌得勒支工作投入量表(UWES)。在活力、奉献和吸收三个分量表上存在显著的相关关系。FoH中年龄在35岁以下的女性员工、受过高等教育的员工以及没有生活伴侣的员工幸福感更高。因此,工作投入程度因年龄、婚姻和教育状况而异。酒店的人力资源专家可以衡量工作敬业度,并通过内部政策和支持性实践来应用它,同时也可以为FOH女性员工的这些实践辩护,因为女性员工在酒店业中占大多数。南非劳动力的特点是人口多样性。工作投入的差异是必要的,因为它提高了客人的体验,提高了生产力,并最终增加了酒店在竞争激烈的市场中的营业额。

Enhancing Community Participation in Ecotourism through a Local Community Participation Improvement Model 以社区参与改善模式促进社区参与生态旅游
T. Gumede, A. Nzama
This study aimed to explore the model that can be used to improve local community participation in ecotourism development processes. The study was conducted at the communities adjoining the Oribi Gorge Nature Reserve in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. A mixed methods design was adopted by the study during collection and analysis of data. A total of 384 respondents were sampled through convenience sampling technique. Questionnaires were used to collect data through face-to-face surveys. The study found that local communities had not been actively participating in ecotourism development processes, especially those undertaken within the rural setting as a result of different socio-economic factors including lacking necessary skills. This study asserts that this gap could be mitigated through implementation of local community participation improvement model (LCPIM) based on its potential for influencing enactment and/or amendment of policies on ecotourism development
本研究旨在探索改善当地社区参与生态旅游发展过程的模式。这项研究是在南非夸祖鲁-纳塔尔省奥里比峡谷自然保护区附近的社区进行的。本研究在数据收集和分析过程中采用混合方法设计。采用方便抽样法对384名受访者进行了抽样。采用问卷调查的方式,通过面对面的调查收集数据。研究发现,由于不同的社会经济因素,包括缺乏必要的技能,当地社区没有积极参与生态旅游的发展进程,特别是在农村环境中进行的生态旅游发展进程。本研究认为,基于当地社区参与改善模式(LCPIM)对生态旅游发展政策制定和/或修订的潜在影响,可以通过实施该模式来缓解这一差距

This study asserts that this gap could be mitigated through implementation of local community participation improvement model (LCPIM) based on its potential for influencing enactment and/or amendment of policies on ecotourism development","PeriodicalId":20643,"journal":{"name":"Proposed for presentation at the 2020 Virtual MRS Fall Meeting & Exhibit held November 27 - December 4, 2020.","volume":"20 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79146840","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 Design of a Bayesian Network Model for Increasing the Number of Graded Tourism Establishments 分级旅游场所数量增加的贝叶斯网络模型设计
Tshepo Mothoagae, N. Joseph
Research has been conducted on the grading of tourism establishments but little research has been conducted on the implementation of Artificial Intelligence (AI) to increase the number of graded tourism establishments. The objective of this study was to identify variables influencing tourism grading and to use them to construct a Bayesian Model for increasing the number of tourism establishments. Data was collected using an online survey questionnaire developed using the Survey Monkey tool. A total of 87 responses were received from 60 non-graded and 27 graded tourism establishments. The results indicate six factors affecting tourism grading, namely cost of grading, grading benefits, simplicity/complexity of grading application process, government funding, training of prospective grading applicants and computer literacy. The results further indicate grading cost and grading benefits as the most important factors for increasing the number of tourism establishments. The study implies that using this model will assist grading professionals to make informed decisions on initiatives aimed at increasing the number of graded tourism establishments. The study is among the first on implementation of AI to increase tourism grading establishments.
对旅游场所的分级进行了研究,但对利用人工智能(AI)增加分级旅游场所数量的研究很少。本研究的目的是找出影响旅游分级的变量,并利用这些变量来构建一个增加旅游设施数量的贝叶斯模型。使用survey Monkey工具开发的在线调查问卷收集数据。共收到87份回复,分别来自60家未评级及27家评级旅游机构。结果显示影响旅游定级的六个因素,即定级成本、定级效益、定级申请程序的简单性/复杂性、政府资助、定级申请人的培训和计算机能力。结果进一步表明,分级成本和分级效益是增加旅游设施数量的最重要因素。该研究表明,使用该模型将有助于评级专业人员对旨在增加评级旅游机构数量的举措做出明智的决策。这项研究是首批利用人工智能增加旅游评级机构的研究之一。

Augmented Reality in Education 增强现实在教育中的应用
Pallikonda Subhashini, Raqshanda Siddiqua, A. Keerthana, Pamu Pavani
Gaining from books is an unremarkable and latent cycle. The content and images in the books are most certainly not interactive; this prompts the basic barricades to learning looked by students, for example, constraints in comprehending the hypothetical ideas, absence of explanatory, basic reasoning. These detours are overwhelmed by computerized books, however paper-based books are frequently favored over computerized books due to their adaptability and portability. In this paper, we present a remarkable arrangement that utilizes augmented reality to make the learning measure more interactive and fascinating. The application when focused on text or image shows significant 3-dimensional(3D) model or video on the smart phone screen. The application gives some assistance to the students by encouraging them to learn new ideas utilizing graphical guide. Aside from utilization in schooling, it can likewise be utilized in the field of commercial, the travel industry, gaming, medication.
从书中获益是一个不起眼的潜在循环。书中的内容和图像肯定不是交互式的;这促使学生看到学习的基本障碍,例如,理解假设思想的限制,缺乏解释,基本推理。这些弯路被计算机化的书籍淹没了,然而纸质书籍由于其适应性和便携性而经常比计算机化的书籍更受欢迎。在本文中,我们提出了一个引人注目的安排,利用增强现实使学习测量更具互动性和吸引力。当专注于文本或图像时,应用程序在智能手机屏幕上显示显著的三维(3D)模型或视频。该应用程序通过使用图形指导来鼓励学生学习新思想,从而为学生提供了一些帮助。除了在学校的使用,它也可以在商业,旅游,游戏,医药等领域使用。
