WiP: Smart services for an augmented campus
2018
Technological progress in recent years has allowed the design of new intelligent learning systems in smart environments aiming to facilitate users' lives. As a consequence, besides making use of traditional sensors for monitoring the quantities of interest, such systems can also benefit from information obtained from the users' smart devices, which can now be considered as additional sensing tools. In this article, we present the design of a novel system based on the fog computing paradigm that can improve the services offered to users on a smart campus by using different smart devices, i.e., smartphones, smartwatches, tablets, smartcameras and so on. In particular, we will describe a syste…
Smart Assistance for Students and People Living in a Campus
2019
Being part of one of the fastest growing area in Artificial Intelligence (AI), virtual assistants are nowadays part of everyone's life being integrated in almost every smart device. Alexa, Siri, Google Assistant, and Cortana are just few examples of the most famous ones. Beyond these off-the-shelf solutions, different technologies which allow to create custom assistants are available. IBM Watson, for instance, is one of the most widely-adopted question-answering framework both because of its simplicity and accessibility through public APIs. In this work, we present a virtual assistant that exploits the Watson technology to support students and staff of a smart campus at the University of Pa…
Assisted labeling for spam account detection on twitter
2019
Online Social Networks (OSNs) have become increasingly popular both because of their ease of use and their availability through almost any smart device. Unfortunately, these characteristics make OSNs also target of users interested in performing malicious activities, such as spreading malware and performing phishing attacks. In this paper we address the problem of spam detection on Twitter providing a novel method to support the creation of large-scale annotated datasets. More specifically, URL inspection and tweet clustering are performed in order to detect some common behaviors of spammers and legitimate users. Finally, the manual annotation effort is further reduced by grouping similar u…
Semantic Web Services for Smart Devices in a “Global Understanding Environment”
2003
Various Web resources and services are usually assumed to be used and accessed by human users (current Web) or by software agents on behalf of human users (emerging Semantic Web). However industry emerges also a new group of “users”, which are smart industrial devices, robots or any other objects, which can be adapted to the (Semantic) Web environment. They would need special services for e.g. online condition monitoring, information provisioning, remote diagnostics, maintenance support, etc. The goal of this paper is to specify main requirements to Web services that automatically follow up and predict the performance and maintenance needs of field devices. Semantic Web enabled services for…
Zināšanu pārbaudes testi izmantošanai viedierīcēs
2018
Diplomdarbā aprakstītā pētījuma mērķis izpētīt mobilo testu izmantošanas aktualitāti un pielietošanas iespējas, lai veicinātu to izmantošanu pedagoģiskajā procesā. Pētījumam izmantoto datu ieguves kvalitatīvās metodes ir intervijas un platformu analīze, kvantitatīvā - pedagogu aptauja. Interviju respondenti ir sākumskolas, vidusskolas un augstskolas pedagogi, kā arī Uzdevumi.lv direktors Edgars Škutāns. Tika vadīts seminārs, iepazīstinot profesionālās vidusskolas Mediju mākslas nodaļas pedagogus ar zināšanu pārbaudes testu platformu QUIZIZZ, pēc kura tika veikta pedagogu aptauja. Pētījumā noskaidrots, ka viedierīcērs izmantojamo zināšanu pārbaudes testu galvenās priekšrocības ir automātiska…
