Humera Batool and Zhonggui Sun, School of Mathematical Sciences, Liaocheng University, Liaocheng 252000, China

ABSTRACT

Pandemic 2019-nCoV effects humans and animals. Human life, health and economy is effected, including almost all countries in World. As its a viral disease, various countries have prepared vaccines for it which vary in effectiveness. Lungs are worst effected in this disease. Lungs related problems are diagnosed with imaging techniques like chest CT and X-ray(radiography). As compared to chest CT scan, chest X-ray is quite cost effective. Deep learning is sublime technique of machine learning that can aid in screening COVID-19. To examine COVID-19 on X-ray images by machine learning methods, we proposed the approach to classify chest x-ray images using cross vision transformer (Cross-ViT), that proved better results over existing state-of-the-art image classification models including CNN, Inception V3, ResNext, ResNet, Xception, Vision Transformer. Out of all these models, Cross ViT gave highest accuracy.

ABSTRACT

Cybersecurity threat become a serious issue recently, which is usually constituted by people carelessness, ignorance and failure to practice cybersecurity behaviour adequately. Using a data from a quantitative survey, Partial Least Squares-Structural Equation Modelling (PLSSEM) analysis was used to determine the factors that affect cybersecurity protective behaviour (CPB). This study adapts cybersecurity protective behaviour model by focusing on two constructs that can enhance CPB: information security competencies (ISI) of the security leaders and procedural information security countermeasure (PCM) awareness. Theory of leadership competencies were adapted to measure users perception towards competencies among security leaders in the organization. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) testing shows that all the measurement items of each constructs were adequate in their validity individually based on their factor loading value. Moreover, each constructs are valid based on their parameter estimates and statistical significance. The quantitative research findings show that PCM awareness strongly influences CPB compared to ISI. Meanwhile, ISI was significantly PCM awarenss. This study believes that the research findings can contribute to human behaviour in IS studies and are particularly beneficial to policy makers in improving organizations strategic plans in information security, especially in this new era. Most organizations spend time and resources to provide and establish strategic plans of information security; however, if employees are not willing to comply and practice information security behaviour appropriately, then these efforts are in vain.

ABSTRACT

Pneumonia, a lower respiratory tract illness, causes inflammation of the lungs air sacs. Breathing becomes difficult as a result of the lung tissues been filled with fluid. It is recognized as the global cause of child mortality. There are many types of organisms that cause pneumonia, some of them include bacteria and viruses. Chest x-ray images can be challenging to interpret by radiologists, even for those with experience. Our study seeks to increase the precision with which pneumonia can be detected from chest x-ray scans. We propose using a densely connected convolutional network (DenseNet) along integrated with a convolution block attention module (CBAM) to categorize x-ray images as normal or pneumonia, which may be caused by a viral or bacterial infection. The model had metrics of 0.922 F1 score, 0.930 accuracy, 0.930 sensitivity, and 0.965 specificity. In comparison to other recent, cutting-edge disease prediction models, this puts our model ahead.

Luiza Naschon, Senior Security Engineer, Red Hat, Israel, Martin Ukrop, Senior Technical Program Manager, Red Hat, Brno

ABSTRACT

OpenShift uses Route objects to expose web applications to the outside world through HAproxy. One of the challenges of managing web application routing in containerized environments such as OpenShift is how to securely transfer information and allow access to the applications running in those environments. In this paper, we will go through two possible attacks discovered during the security research on OpenShift networking, the route takeover, and DNS hijacking. Then we will present and explain how the users can prevent those possible attacks by following security practices.

Accelerating Experience Replay for Deep Q-Networks with Reduced Target Computation

Bob Zigon1 and Fengguang Song2, 1Beckman Coulter, Indianapolis, IN, USA, 2Department of Computer Science, Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis, Indianapolis, IN, USA

ABSTRACT

Mnihs seminal deep reinforcement learning paper that applied a Deep Q-network to Atari video games demonstrated the importance of a replay buffer and a target network. Though the pair were required for convergence, the use of the replay buffer came at a signiffcant computational cost. With each new sample generated by the system, the targets in the mini batch buffer were continually recomputed. We propose an alternative that eliminates the target recomputation called TAO-DQN (Target Accelerated Optimization-DQN). Our approach focuses on a new replay buffer algorithm that lowers the computational burden.We implemented this new approach on three experiments involving environments from the OpenAI gym. This resulted in convergence to better policies in fewer episodes and less time. Furthermore, we offer a mathematical justification for our improved convergence rate.

ABSTRACT

Prediction of the electronic structure of functional materials is essential for the engineering of new devices. Conventionalelectronic structure prediction methods based on density functional theory (DFT) suffer from not only high computational cost, but also limited accuracy arising from the approximations of the exchange-correlation functional. Surrogate methods based on machine learninghave garnered much attention as a viable alternative to bypass these limitations, especially in the prediction of solid-state band gaps, which motivated this research study.Herein, we construct a random forest regression model for band gaps of double perovskite materials, using a dataset of 1306 band gapscomputed with theGLLBSC (Gritsenko, van Leeuwen, van Lenthe, and Baerendssolid correlation)functional. Among the 20 physical features employed, we find that the bulk modulus, superconductivity temperature, and cation electronegativity exhibit the highest importance scores, consistent withthe physics of the underlying electronic structure. Using the top 10 features, a model accuracy of 85.6% with a root mean square error of 0.64 eV is obtained, comparable to previous studies. Our results are significant in the sense that they attest to the potential of machine learning regressions for the rapid screening of promising candidate functional materials.

Models4Artist: An Intelligent Pose-based Image Search Engine to Assist Artist Creation using Artificial Intelligence and Post Estimate

HuiBing Xie1 and Yu Sun2, 1Northwood High School, 4515 Portola Pkwy, Irvine, CA 92620, 2California State Polytechnic University, Pomona, CA, 91768, Irvine, CA 92620

ABSTRACT

Since some years ago, the popularity of drawing has been increasing. There are a lot of existing tools to help people to improve their drawing [5]. Some tools provide human body images, so people can practice their human body drawing [6]. However, users cannot find the desirable pose images since these tools provide only a list of images but it cannot be sorted by pose. Thus, we proposed a tool in which users can move the joints of a stick figure to obtain the matching human pose image. In our experiments, the result shows that the engine matches 87% of the human images and the stick figure. Also, we performed data analysis with feedback from 10 high school students. The result shows that 5 out of 10 students were satisfied with our tool.

Simisani Ndaba, Edwin Thuma and Gontlafetse Mosweunyane, Department of Computer Science, University of Botswana, Gaborone, Botswana

ABSTRACT

In this paper, an investigation is done to identify writing style features that can be used for cross-topic and cross-genre documents in Authorship Identification. In particular, we empirically evaluate different writing style features that were previously used in single topic and single genre documents in Authorship Identification to determine whether they can be used effectively for cross-topic and cross-genre Authorship Identification using an ablation process. The dataset used was taken from the 2015 PAN CLEF English collection consisting of 100 sets from the PAN CLEF website. Furthermore, we investigate whether combining some of these feature sets can help improve the authorship identification task. Three different classifiers were used which include Naïve Bayes, Support Vector Machine and Random Forest. The results suggests that a combination of lexical, syntactical, structural and content feature set can be used effectively for cross-topic and cross genre authorship identification as it achieved a result of 0.837.

A mobile application to mark attendance using a combined backend of the Firestore database and Amazon AWS services

Andy Jiang1 and Yu Sun2, 1Klein Oak High School, 22603 Northcrest Dr, Spring, TX 77389, 2California State Polytechnic University, Pomona, CA, 91768, Irvine, CA 92620

ABSTRACT

Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, education largely shifted away from the physical classroom and towards more digitally oriented platforms. This simplified classroom attendance problems greatly, as newly created programming scripts could easily track the students in a meeting room via their names. However, with the recent growing return to in person education, it has become apparent that the problem of attendance within the context of a non-virtual classroom environment has yet to be solved in an efficacious automated fashion. In larger classrooms, the severity of this problem becomes exacerbated even further, as teachers are forced to allocate valuable time for the purpose of marking attendance. The flourishing world of machine-learning based algorithms were the first solutions that we considered, and within the context of the premise, we concluded that facial recognition would likely be the most feasible and effective approach that we could use. This paper develops a mobile application to apply real time face recognition for the purpose of the above stated problem, using a combined backend of the Firestore database and Amazon AWS services. Applying our application to in person classrooms, the results show that our solutions are immensely effective in both saving time and reducing error.

Personalized Progressive Federated Learning with Leveraging Client-specific Vertical Features: Model Development and Validation

Tae Hyun Kim, Won Seok Jan, Sun Cheol Heo, Min Dong Sung and Yu Rang Park, Department of Biomedical Systems Informatics, Yonsei University College of Medicine, South Korea.

ABSTRACT

Federated learning (FL) has been used for model building across distributed clients. However, FL cannot leverage vertically partitioned features to increase the model complexity. In this study, we proposed a personalized progressive federated learning (PPFL) model, which is a multi-model PFL approach that allows the leveraging of vertically partitioned client-specific features. The performance of PPFL was evaluated using two datasets: the Physionet Challenges 2012 dataset and a real-world dataset composed of eICU data and the Severance Hospital, Seoul, South Korea. We compared the performance of inhospital mortality and length of stay prediction between our model and the FedAvg, FedProx, and local models. The PPFL showed an accuracy of 0.849 and AUROC of 0.790 in in hospital mor-tality prediction, which are the highest scores compared to client-specific algorithm. For length-of-stay prediction, PPFL also showed an AUROC of 0.808 in average which was the highest among all comparators.

Gabor Knyihar, Kristof Csorba and Hassan Charaf, Department of Automation and Applied Informatics Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Informatics Budapest University of Technology and Economics Budapest, Hungary

ABSTRACT

Investigation of the dissolution of tablets is an important area of pharmaceutical research. Such research aims to predict the dissolution process as accurately as possible without destroying the tablets. Several methods have been published that can estimate dissolution with approximate accuracy, but they are mostly complex and time-consuming. This article seeks to answer whether these complex models are necessary or whether a similar result can be achieved with the help of more straightforward methods. Therefore, during this work, a simpler linear regression model was created and analysed its effectiveness in estimating the dissolution curves. The investigation concluded that the results are not as accurate as in the case of more complex methods, but they are not far behind. Thus, even similar results may be achieved by fine-tuning and possibly developing these methods.
