Smart learning systems provide relevant learning resources as a personalized bespoke package for learners based on their pedagogical needs and individual preferences. This paper introduces a learning style model to represent features of online learners. It also presents an enhanced recommendation method named Adaptive Recommendation based on Online Learning Style(AROLS), which implements learning resource adaptation by mining learners’ behavioral data. First, AROLS creates learner clusters according to their online learning styles.Second, it applies Collaborative Filtering(CF) and association rule mining to extract the preferences and behavioral patterns of each cluster. Finally, it generates a personalized recommendation set of variable size. A real-world dataset is employed for some experiments. Results show that our online learning style model is conducive to the learners’ data mining, and AROLS evidently outperforms the traditional CF method.

Industrial Control Systems(ICSs) are the lifeline of a country. Therefore, the anomaly detection of ICS traffic is an important endeavor. This paper proposes a model based on a deep residual Convolution Neural Network(CNN) to prevent gradient explosion or gradient disappearance and guarantee accuracy. The developed methodology addresses two limitations: most traditional machine learning methods can only detect known network attacks and deep learning algorithms require a long time to train. The utilization of transfer learning under the modification of the existing residual CNN structure guarantees the detection of unknown attacks. One-dimensional ICS flow data are converted into two-dimensional grayscale images to take full advantage of the features of CNN. Results show that the proposed method achieves a high score and solves the time problem associated with deep learning model training.The model can give reliable predictions for unknown or differently distributed abnormal data through short-term training. Thus, the proposed model ensures the safety of ICSs and verifies the feasibility of transfer learning for ICS anomaly detection.

With the rapid development of Web3 D technologies, sketch-based model retrieval has become an increasingly important challenge, while the application of Virtual Reality and 3 D technologies has made shape retrieval of furniture over a web browser feasible. In this paper, we propose a learning framework for shape retrieval based on two Siamese VGG-16 Convolutional Neural Networks(CNNs), and a CNN-based hybrid learning algorithm to select the best view for a shape. In this algorithm, the AlexNet and VGG-16 CNN architectures are used to perform classification tasks and to extract features, respectively. In addition, a feature fusion method is used to measure the similarity relation of the output features from the two Siamese networks. The proposed framework can provide new alternatives for furniture retrieval in the Web3 D environment. The primary innovation is in the employment of deep learning methods to solve the challenge of obtaining the best view of 3 D furniture,and to address cross-domain feature learning problems. We conduct an experiment to verify the feasibility of the framework and the results show our approach to be superior in comparison to many mainstream state-of-the-art approaches.

With the rapid development of mobile devices, the use of Mobile Crowd Sensing(MCS) mode has become popular to complete more intelligent and complex sensing tasks. However, large-scale data collection may reduce the quality of sensed data. Thus, quality control is a key problem in MCS. With the emergence of the federated learning framework, the number of complex intelligent calculations that can be completed on mobile devices has increased.In this study, we formulate a quality-aware user recruitment problem as an optimization problem. We predict the quality of sensed data from different users by analyzing the correlation between data and context information through federated learning. Furthermore, the lightweight neural network model located on mobile terminals is used. Based on the prediction of sensed quality, we develop a user recruitment algorithm that runs on the cloud platform through terminal-cloud collaboration. The performance of the proposed method is evaluated through simulations. Results show that compared with existing algorithms, i.e., Random Adaptive Greedy algorithm for User Recruitment(RAGUR)and Context-Aware Tasks Allocation(CATA), the proposed method improves the quality of sensed data by 23.5% and 38.8%, respectively.

Sequence-based protein tertiary structure prediction is of fundamental importance because the function of a protein ultimately depends on its 3 D structure.An accurate residue-residue contact map is one of the essential elements for current ab initio prediction protocols of 3 D structure prediction.Recently,with the combination of deep learning and direct coupling techniques,the performance of residue contact prediction has achieved significant progress.However,a considerable number of current Deep-Learning(DL)-based prediction methods are usually time-consuming,mainly because they rely on different categories of data types and third-party programs.In this research,we transformed the complex biological problem into a pure computational problem through statistics and artificial intelligence.We have accordingly proposed a feature extraction method to obtain various categories of statistical information from only the multi-sequence alignment,followed by training a DL model for residue-residue contact prediction based on the massive statistical information.The proposed method is robust in terms of different test sets,showed high reliability on model confidence score,could obtain high computational efficiency and achieve comparable prediction precisions with DL methods that relying on multi-source inputs.

In programming courses, the traditional assessment approach tends to evaluate student performance by scoring one or more project-level summative assignments. This approach no longer meets the requirements of a quality programming language education. Based on an upgraded peer code review model, we propose a formative assessment approach to assess the learning of computer programming languages, and develop an online assessment system(OOCourse) to implement this approach. Peer code review and inspection is an effective way to ensure the high quality of a program by systematically checking the source code. Though it is commonly applied in industrial and open-source software development, it is rarely taught and practiced in undergraduate-level programming courses. We conduct a case study using the formative assessment method in a sophomore level Object-Oriented Design and Construction course with more than 240 students. We use Moodle(an online learning system) and some relevant plugins to conduct peer code review. We also conduct data mining on the running data from the peer assessment activities. The case study shows that formative assessment based on peer code review gradually improved the programming ability of students in the undergraduate class.

Human pose estimation has received significant attention recently due to its various applications in the real world. As the performance of the state-of-the-art human pose estimation methods can be improved by deep learning, this paper presents a comprehensive survey of deep learning based human pose estimation methods and analyzes the methodologies employed. We summarize and discuss recent works with a methodologybased taxonomy. Single-person and multi-person pipelines are first reviewed separately. Then, the deep learning techniques applied in these pipelines are compared and analyzed. The datasets and metrics used in this task are also discussed and compared. The aim of this survey is to make every step in the estimation pipelines interpretable and to provide readers a readily comprehensible explanation. Moreover, the unsolved problems and challenges for future research are discussed.

Software Defect Prediction(SDP) technology is an effective tool for improving software system quality that has attracted much attention in recent years. However, the prediction of cross-project data remains a challenge for the traditional SDP method due to the different distributions of the training and testing datasets. Another major difficulty is the class imbalance issue that must be addressed in Cross-Project Defect Prediction(CPDP). In this work,we propose a transfer-leaning algorithm(TSboostDF) that considers both knowledge transfer and class imbalance for CPDP. The experimental results demonstrate that the performance achieved by TSboostDF is better than those of existing CPDP methods.

This paper focuses on multi-modal Information Perception(IP) for Soft Robotic Hands(SRHs) using Machine Learning(ML) algorithms.A flexible Optical Fiber-based Curvature Sensor(OFCS) is fabricated,consisting of a Light-Emitting Diode(LED),photosensitive detector,and optical fiber.Bending the roughened optical fiber generates lower light intensity,which reflecting the curvature of the soft finger.Together with the curvature and pressure information,multi-modal IP is performed to improve the recognition accuracy.Recognitions of gesture,object shape,size,and weight are implemented with multiple ML approaches,including the Supervised Learning Algorithms(SLAs) of K-Nearest Neighbor(KNN),Support Vector Machine(SVM),Logistic Regression(LR),and the unSupervised Learning Algorithm(un-SLA) of K-Means Clustering(KMC).Moreover,Optical Sensor Information(OSI),Pressure Sensor Information(PSI),and Double-Sensor Information(DSI) are adopted to compare the recognition accuracies.The experiment results demonstrate that the proposed sensors and recognition approaches are feasible and effective.The recognition accuracies obtained using the above ML algorithms and three modes of sensor information are higer than 85 percent for almost all combinations.Moreover,DSI is more accurate when compared to single modal sensor information and the KNN algorithm with a DSI outperforms the other combinations in recognition accuracy.
