Improving programming skills of Mechanical Engineering students by teaching in C# multi-objective optimizations methods
2017
Designing an optimized suspension system that meet the main functions of comfort, safety and handling on poor quality roads is a goal for researchers. This paper represents a software development guide for designers of suspension systems with less programming skills that will enable them to implement their own optimization methods that improve traditional methods by using their domain knowledge.
Introducing implicit learning: from the laboratory to the real life
2010
The dissociation between implicit and explicit cognition has a long history in psychology. As early as 1920, Clark Hull (25) investigated the learning of Chinese ideographs and identified the process of concept formation by abstraction of common elements, a process that occurs without explicit knowledge from the subjects of these regularities. Perceptual learning is another example of those processes that take place largely in the absence of awareness of the rules that govern the stimulations of the environment. Helmholtz (24) was one of the first to refer to implicit inference made by the perceptual system and to perceptual learning. Some years later, the distinction between implicit and e…
Developing design knowledge and a conceptual model for virtual reality learning environments
2021
This chapter focuses on applying design science research for virtual reality learning environment (VRLE) design processes. Six selected case studies are presented in the context of VRLEs. The case selections were analyzed in terms of their contributions to design knowledge. The objective of this book chapter is twofold: 1) for researchers, the design knowledge contributions of case studies are highlighted for future reference, and 2) for developers and practitioners, design principles are presented for the development of VRLEs. The final outcome of the present study is a conceptual model describing the current design knowledge in the field of VRLEs and identifying the research gaps that sho…
Knowledge acquisition through introspection in Human-Robot Cooperation
2018
Abstract When cooperating with a team including humans, robots have to understand and update semantic information concerning the state of the environment. The run-time evaluation and acquisition of new concepts fall in the critical mass learning. It is a cognitive skill that enables the robot to show environmental awareness to complete its tasks successfully. A kind of self-consciousness emerges: the robot activates the introspective mental processes inferring if it owns a domain concept or not, and correctly blends the conceptual meaning of new entities. Many works attempt to simulate human brain functions leading to neural network implementation of consciousness; regrettably, some of thes…
Concentrated Solar Power: Ontologies for Solar Radiation Modeling and Forecasting
2014
This chapter considers the possibility of formally representing implicit and explicit knowledge of solar radiation modeling and forecasting by means of ontologies, with particular reference to the implications of concentrated solar power. The various applications discussed in the literature include various methods, such as spectral, parametric and empirical models, artificial neural networks and fuzzy logic approaches, as well as satellite and ground based imaging techniques. We want to use the principles of semantic technologies and formal ontologies, to represent knowledge in solar radiation models. The purpose is to capture the semantics of information and realize a system for sharing an…
Recent advances of HCI in decision-making tasks for optimized clinical workflows and precision medicine.
2020
The ever-increasing amount of biomedical data is enabling new large-scale studies, even though ad hoc computational solutions are required. The most recent Machine Learning (ML) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques have been achieving outstanding performance and an important impact in clinical research, aiming at precision medicine, as well as improving healthcare workflows. However, the inherent heterogeneity and uncertainty in the healthcare information sources pose new compelling challenges for clinicians in their decision-making tasks. Only the proper combination of AI and human intelligence capabilities, by explicitly taking into account effective and safe interaction paradigms,…
Semantic technologies for industry: From knowledge modeling and integration to intelligent applications
2013
Artificial Intelligence technologies are growingly used within several software systems ranging from Web services to mobile applications. It is by no doubt true that the more AI algorithms and methods are used the more they tend to depart from a pure "AI" spirit and end to refer to the sphere of standard software. In a sense, AI seems strongly connected with ideas, methods and tools that are not (yet) used by the general public. On the contrary, a more realistic view of it would be a rich and pervading set of successful paradigms and approaches. Industry is currently perceiving semantic technologies as a key contribution of AI to innovation. In this paper a survey of current industrial expe…
Minor Cutting Edge Wear in Finish Turning Operations
1999
In finish turning operation, it has already shown, that for the sake of control the dimensional accuracy and the micro-geometry of the worked surface, the wear parameters employed in rough turning operations are not suitable. In the present work the study of wear in fmish turning operations, is carried out, employing a particular groove survey methodology, already proposed in a previous paper, that is based on the techniques of acquirement and processing of images. In order to verify the applicability of the proposed technique two kind of alumina-based inserts and two kind of sintered carbide inserts have been tested. The experimental tests have confirmed the validity of the technique in th…
An introduction to knowledge computing
2014
This paper deals with the challenges related to self-management and evolution of massive knowledge collections. We can assume that a self-managed knowledge graph needs a kind of a hybrid of: an explicit declarative self-knowledge (as knowledge about own properties and capabilities) and an explicit procedural self-knowledge (as knowledge on how to utilize own properties and the capabilities for the self-management).We offer an extension to a traditional RDF model of describing knowledge graphs according to the Semantic Web standards so that it will also allow to a knowledge entity to autonomously perform or query from remote services different computational executions needed. We also introdu…
Computational Offloading in Mobile Edge with Comprehensive and Energy Efficient Cost Function: A Deep Learning Approach
2021
In mobile edge computing (MEC), partial computational offloading can be intelligently investigated to reduce the energy consumption and service delay of user equipment (UE) by dividing a single task into different components. Some of the components execute locally on the UE while the remaining are offloaded to a mobile edge server (MES). In this paper, we investigate the partial offloading technique in MEC using a supervised deep learning approach. The proposed technique, comprehensive and energy efficient deep learning-based offloading technique (CEDOT), intelligently selects the partial offloading policy and also the size of each component of a task to reduce the service delay and energy …
