Action Recognition in Videos: from Motion Capture Labs to the Web
This paper presents a survey of human action recognition approaches based on
visual data recorded from a single video camera. We propose an organizing
framework which puts in evidence the evolution of the area, with techniques
moving from heavily constrained motion capture scenarios towards more
challenging, realistic, "in the wild" videos. The proposed organization is
based on the representation used as input for the recognition task, emphasizing
the hypothesis assumed and thus, the constraints imposed on the type of video
that each technique is able to address. Expliciting the hypothesis and
constraints makes the framework particularly useful to select a method, given
an application. Another advantage of the proposed organization is that it
allows categorizing newest approaches seamlessly with traditional ones, while
providing an insightful perspective of the evolution of the action recognition
task up to now. That perspective is the basis for the discussion in the end of
the paper, where we also present the main open issues in the area.Comment: Preprint submitted to CVIU, survey paper, 46 pages, 2 figures, 4

The student evaluation of teaching and the competence of students as evaluators
When the college student satisfaction survey is considered in the promotion
and recognition of instructors, a usual complaint is related to the impact that
biased ratings have on the arithmetic mean (used as a measure of teaching
effectiveness). This is especially significant when the number of students
responding to the survey is small. In this work a new methodology, considering
student to student perceptions, is presented. Two different estimators of
student rating credibility, based on centrality properties of the student
social network, are proposed. This method is established on the idea that in
the case of on-site higher education, students often know which others are
competent in rating the teaching and learning process.Comment: 20 pages, 2 table
A Review On Table Recognition Based On Deep Learning
Table recognition is using the computer to automatically understand the
table, to detect the position of the table from the document or picture, and to
correctly extract and identify the internal structure and content of the table.
After earlier mainstream approaches based on heuristic rules and machine
learning, the development of deep learning techniques has brought a new
paradigm to this field. This review mainly discusses the table recognition
problem from five aspects. The first part introduces data sets, benchmarks, and
commonly used evaluation indicators. This section selects representative data
sets, benchmarks, and evaluation indicators that are frequently used by
researchers. The second part introduces the table recognition model. This
survey introduces the development of the table recognition model, especially
the table recognition model based on deep learning. It is generally accepted
that table recognition is divided into two stages: table detection and table
structure recognition. This section introduces the models that follow this
paradigm (TD and TSR). The third part is the End-to-End method, this section
introduces some scholars' attempts to use an end-to-end approach to solve the
table recognition problem once and for all and the part are Data-centric
methods, such as data augmentation, aligning benchmarks, and other methods. The
fourth part is the data-centric approach, such as data enhancement, alignment
benchmark, and so on. The fifth part summarizes and compares the experimental
data in the field of form recognition, and analyzes the mainstream and more
advantageous methods. Finally, this paper also discusses the possible
development direction and trend of form processing in the future, to provide
some ideas for researchers in the field of table recognition. (Resource will be

Undergraduate students do not understand some library jargon typically used in library instruction
A review of:
Hutcherson, Norman B. âLibrary Jargon: Student Recognition of Terms and Concepts Commonly Used by Librarians in the Classroom.â College and Research Libraries 65.4 (July 2004): 349-54.
Objective â To determine studentsâ level of recognition for 28 commonly used terms in library instruction.
Design â Survey, multiple-choice questionnaire.
Setting â Large state university library in the United States (this is assumed from the authorâs current affiliation).
Subjects â 300 first- and second-year university students enrolled in a library skills course between September 2000 and June 2003.
Methods â Two 15-question multiple-choice questionnaires were created to verify studentsâ understanding of 28 terms commonly used in library instruction, or âlibrary jargonâ. Each questionnaire included 12 unique terms and, in order to ensure consistency between questionnaire results, three common terms. For each question, a definition was provided and four terms, including the correct one, were offered as possible answers. Four variants of each survey were developed with varied question and answer order. Students who completed a seven-week library skills lab received one of the two questionnaires. Lab instructors explained the objective of the survey and the students completed them in 10 to 15 minutes during class time. Of the 300 students enrolled in the lab between September 2000 and June 2003, 297 returned completed questionnaires. The researcher used Microsoft Excel to calculate descriptive statistics, including the mean, median, and standard deviation for individual questionnaires as well as combined results. No demographic data were collected.
Main results â The mean score for both questionnaires was 62.31% (n=297). That is, on average, students answered 9.35 out of 15 questions correctly, with a standard deviation of +-4.12. Students were able to recognize library-related terms to varying degrees. Terms identified correctly most often included: plagiarism (100%), reference services (94.60%), research (94.00%), copyright (91.58%), and table of contents (90.50%). Terms identified correctly the least often included: Boolean logic (8.10%), bibliography (14.90%), controlled vocabulary (18.10%), truncation (27.70%), and precision (31.80%). For the three terms used in both questionnaires, results were similar.
Conclusion â The results of this study demonstrate that terms used more widely (e.g. plagiarism, copyright) are more often recognized by students compared with terms used less frequently (e.g. Boolean logic, truncation). Also, terms whose meanings are well-understood in everyday language, such as citation and authority, may be misunderstood in the context of library instruction. For this reason, it can be assumed that students may be confused when faced with this unfamiliar terminology. The study makes recommendations for librarians to take measures to prevent misunderstandings during library instruction such as defining terms used and reducing the use of library jargon
Team Plan Recognition: A Review of the State of the Art
There is an increasing need to develop artificial intelligence systems that
assist groups of humans working on coordinated tasks. These systems must
recognize and understand the plans and relationships between actions for a team
of humans working toward a common objective. This article reviews the
literature on team plan recognition and surveys the most recent logic-based
approaches for implementing it. First, we provide some background knowledge,
including a general definition of plan recognition in a team setting and a
discussion of implementation challenges. Next, we explain our reasoning for
focusing on logic-based methods. Finally, we survey recent approaches from two
primary classes of logic-based methods (plan library-based and domain
theory-based). We aim to bring more attention to this sparse but vital topic
and inspire new directions for implementing team plan recognition.Comment: 10 pages, 1 figure, 1 table. Abstract accepted, paper submitted to
