Current public sign language datasets are small and lack diversity, which does not meet the practical application requirements for SLRT. However, making a large-scale and diverse sign language dataset is difficult as sign language data on the Internet is scarce. In making a large-scale and diverse sign language dataset, some sign language data qualities are not up to standard. This paper proposes a two information streams transformer(TIST) model to judge whether the quality of sign language data is qualified. To verify that TIST effectively improves sign language recognition(SLR), we make two datasets, the screened dataset and the unscreened dataset. In this experiment, this paper uses visual alignment constraint(VAC) as the baseline model. The experimental results show that the screened dataset can achieve better word error rate(WER) than the unscreened dataset.展开更多

文摘With the increasing emphasis on personal information protection,encryption through security protocols has emerged as a critical requirement in data transmission and reception processes.Nevertheless,IoT ecosystems comprise heterogeneous networks where outdated systems coexist with the latest devices,spanning a range of devices from non-encrypted ones to fully encrypted ones.Given the limited visibility into payloads in this context,this study investigates AI-based attack detection methods that leverage encrypted traffic metadata,eliminating the need for decryption and minimizing system performance degradation—especially in light of these heterogeneous devices.Using the UNSW-NB15 and CICIoT-2023 dataset,encrypted and unencrypted traffic were categorized according to security protocol,and AI-based intrusion detection experiments were conducted for each traffic type based on metadata.To mitigate the problem of class imbalance,eight different data sampling techniques were applied.The effectiveness of these sampling techniques was then comparatively analyzed using two ensemble models and three Deep Learning(DL)models from various perspectives.The experimental results confirmed that metadata-based attack detection is feasible using only encrypted traffic.In the UNSW-NB15 dataset,the f1-score of encrypted traffic was approximately 0.98,which is 4.3%higher than that of unencrypted traffic(approximately 0.94).In addition,analysis of the encrypted traffic in the CICIoT-2023 dataset using the same method showed a significantly lower f1-score of roughly 0.43,indicating that the quality of the dataset and the preprocessing approach have a substantial impact on detection performance.Furthermore,when data sampling techniques were applied to encrypted traffic,the recall in the UNSWNB15(Encrypted)dataset improved by up to 23.0%,and in the CICIoT-2023(Encrypted)dataset by 20.26%,showing a similar level of improvement.Notably,in CICIoT-2023,f1-score and Receiver Operation Characteristic-Area Under the Curve(ROC-AUC)increased by 59.0%and 55.94%,respectively.These results suggest that data sampling can have a positive effect even in encrypted environments.However,the extent of the improvement may vary depending on data quality,model architecture,and sampling strategy.

文摘Automated essay scoring(AES)systems have gained significant importance in educational settings,offering a scalable,efficient,and objective method for evaluating student essays.However,developing AES systems for Arabic poses distinct challenges due to the language’s complex morphology,diglossia,and the scarcity of annotated datasets.This paper presents a hybrid approach to Arabic AES by combining text-based,vector-based,and embeddingbased similarity measures to improve essay scoring accuracy while minimizing the training data required.Using a large Arabic essay dataset categorized into thematic groups,the study conducted four experiments to evaluate the impact of feature selection,data size,and model performance.Experiment 1 established a baseline using a non-machine learning approach,selecting top-N correlated features to predict essay scores.The subsequent experiments employed 5-fold cross-validation.Experiment 2 showed that combining embedding-based,text-based,and vector-based features in a Random Forest(RF)model achieved an R2 of 88.92%and an accuracy of 83.3%within a 0.5-point tolerance.Experiment 3 further refined the feature selection process,demonstrating that 19 correlated features yielded optimal results,improving R2 to 88.95%.In Experiment 4,an optimal data efficiency training approach was introduced,where training data portions increased from 5%to 50%.The study found that using just 10%of the data achieved near-peak performance,with an R2 of 85.49%,emphasizing an effective trade-off between performance and computational costs.These findings highlight the potential of the hybrid approach for developing scalable Arabic AES systems,especially in low-resource environments,addressing linguistic challenges while ensuring efficient data usage.

文摘Objective expertise evaluation of individuals,as a prerequisite stage for team formation,has been a long-term desideratum in large software development companies.With the rapid advancements in machine learning methods,based on reliable existing data stored in project management tools’datasets,automating this evaluation process becomes a natural step forward.In this context,our approach focuses on quantifying software developer expertise by using metadata from the task-tracking systems.For this,we mathematically formalize two categories of expertise:technology-specific expertise,which denotes the skills required for a particular technology,and general expertise,which encapsulates overall knowledge in the software industry.Afterward,we automatically classify the zones of expertise associated with each task a developer has worked on using Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers(BERT)-like transformers to handle the unique characteristics of project tool datasets effectively.Finally,our method evaluates the proficiency of each software specialist across already completed projects from both technology-specific and general perspectives.The method was experimentally validated,yielding promising results.

文摘Sign language dataset is essential in sign language recognition and translation(SLRT). Current public sign language datasets are small and lack diversity, which does not meet the practical application requirements for SLRT. However, making a large-scale and diverse sign language dataset is difficult as sign language data on the Internet is scarce. In making a large-scale and diverse sign language dataset, some sign language data qualities are not up to standard. This paper proposes a two information streams transformer(TIST) model to judge whether the quality of sign language data is qualified. To verify that TIST effectively improves sign language recognition(SLR), we make two datasets, the screened dataset and the unscreened dataset. In this experiment, this paper uses visual alignment constraint(VAC) as the baseline model. The experimental results show that the screened dataset can achieve better word error rate(WER) than the unscreened dataset.

文摘The interconnection between query processing and data partitioning is pivotal for the acceleration of massive data processing during query execution,primarily by minimizing the number of scanned block files.Existing partitioning techniques predominantly focus on query accesses on numeric columns for constructing partitions,often overlooking non-numeric columns and thus limiting optimization potential.Additionally,these techniques,despite creating fine-grained partitions from representative queries to enhance system performance,experience from notable performance declines due to unpredictable fluctuations in future queries.To tackle these issues,we introduce LRP,a learned robust partitioning system for dynamic query processing.LRP first proposes a method for data and query encoding that captures comprehensive column access patterns from historical queries.It then employs Multi-Layer Perceptron and Long Short-Term Memory networks to predict shifts in the distribution of historical queries.To create high-quality,robust partitions based on these predictions,LRP adopts a greedy beam search algorithm for optimal partition division and implements a data redundancy mechanism to share frequently accessed data across partitions.Experimental evaluations reveal that LRP yields partitions with more stable performance under incoming queries and significantly surpasses state-of-the-art partitioning methods.
