Predicting human performance in interactive tasks by using dynamic models

2017

The selection of an appropriate sequence of activities is an essential task to keep student motivation and foster engagement. Usually, decisions in this respect are made by taking into account the difficulty of the activities, in relation to the student's level of competence. In this paper, we present a dynamic model that aims to predict the average performance of a group of students at solving a given series of maths problems. The system takes into account both student- and task-related features. This model was built and validated by using the data gathered in an experimental session that involved 64 participants solving a sequence of 26 arithmetic problems. The data collected from the fir…

Visualization of Memory Map Information in Embedded System Design

2018

Data compression is a common requirement for displaying large amounts of information. The goal is to reduce visual clutter. The approach given in this paper uses an analysis of a data set to construct a visual representation. The visualization is compressed using the address ranges of the memory structure. This method produces a compressed version of the initial visualization, retaining the same information as the original. The presented method has been implemented as a Memory Designer tool for ASIC, FPGA and embedded systems using IP-XACT. The Memory Designer is a user-friendly tool for model based embedded system design, providing access and adjustment of the memory layout from a single v…

Mesh Visual Quality based on the combination of convolutional neural networks

2019

Blind quality assessment is a challenging issue since the evaluation is done without access to the reference nor any information about the distortion. In this work, we propose an objective blind method for the visual quality assessment of 3D meshes. The method estimates the perceived visual quality using only information from the distorted mesh to feed pre-trained deep convolutional neural networks. The input data is prepared by rendering 2D views from the 3D mesh and the corresponding saliency map. The views are split into small patches of fixed size that are filtered using a saliency threshold. Only the salient patches are selected as input data. After that, three pre-trained deep convolu…

Exploiting Semantic Trajectories Using HMMs and BIM for Worker Safety in Dynamic Environments

2020

International audience; Understanding dynamic behaviors of moving objects using positioning technologies for construction safety monitoring is still an open research issue. One task; that is a small subset in the widespread field of objects dynamics is the enrichment of the location data of users with the semantic information for studying their mobility patterns in the context of the environment. However, incorporating the semantics related to the environment gets complex in case of the dynamic construction sites where the site spaces are kept evolving with time. For instance, new walls and infrastructure supports are added often on sites, while others are detached. Similar situations open …

Data lakes in business intelligence: reporting from the trenches

2018

Abstract The data lake approach has emerged as a promising way to handle large volumes of structured and unstructured data. This big data technology enables enterprises to profoundly improve their Business Intelligence. However, there is a lack of empirical studies on the use of the data lake approach in enterprises. This paper provides the results of an exploratory study designed to improve the understanding of the use of the data lake approach in enterprises. I interviewed 12 experts who had implemented this approach in various enterprises and identified three important purposes of implementing data lakes: (1) as staging areas or sources for data warehouses, (2) as a platform for experime…

Gui-driven intelligent tutoring system with affective support to help learning the algebraic method

2017

Despite many research efforts focused on the development of algebraic reasoning and the resolution of story problems, several investigations have reported that relatively advanced students experience serious difficulties in symbolizing certain meaningful relations by using algebraic equations. In this paper, we describe and justify the Graphical User Interface of an Intelligent Tutoring System that allows learning and practising the procedural aspects involved in translating the information contained in a story problem into a symbolic representation. The application design has been driven by cognitive findings from several previous investigations. First, the process of translating a word pr…

An Ontology Model for Interoperability and Multi-organization Data Exchange

2020

Progress in the uptake and use of technologies such as Artificial Intelligence and the Internet of Things seems to be stalled by the colossal fragmentation of information and data standards. This complexity is compounded by issues of inter-organisational differences, hindering effective collaboration. There is a growing demand for cross-organizational integrations in regulated but decentralized environments. This paper introduces an ontology architecture where information is sliced into independent semantic layers, each focusing on a specific aspect of the data. By dissolving traditional monolithic data structures into layered, light semantic components, the necessity to maintain contextual…

Anomaly‐based intrusion detection systems: The requirements, methods, measurements, and datasets

2021

International audience; With the Internet's unprecedented growth and nations' reliance on computer networks, new cyber‐attacks are created every day as means for achieving financial gain, imposing political agendas, and developing cyberwarfare arsenals. Network security is thus acquiring increasing attention among researchers, practitioners, network architects, policy makers, and others. To defend organizations' networks from existing, foreseen, and future threats, intrusion detection systems (IDSs) are becoming a must. Existing surveys on anomaly‐based IDS (AIDS) focus on specific components such as detection mechanisms and lack many others. In contrast to existing surveys, this article co…
