Systematic literature review (SLR) automation: a systematic literature review
Context: A systematic literature review(SLR) is a methodology used to find and aggregate all relevant studies about a specific research question or topic of interest. Most of the SLR processes are manually conducted. Automating these processes can reduce the workload and time consumed by human. Method: we use SLR as a methodology to survey the literature about the technologies used to automate SLR processes. Result: from the collected data we found many work done to automate the study selection process but there is no evidence about automation of the planning and reporting process. Most of the authors use machine learning classifiers to automate the study selection process. From our survey, there are processes that are similar to the SLR process for which there are automatic techniques to perform them. Conclusion: Because of these results, we concluded that there should be more research done on the planning, reporting, data extraction and synthesizing processes of SLR
Educational Technology and Related Education Conferences for January to June 2011 - November 11, 2010
If you attend the same conferences each year, you don’t need to scan this list. This list is your opportunity to “push the envelope” by trying something new. There are hundreds of professional development events that may give you a different perspective or help you learn a new skill. Rather than attend the same event you always do, scan this list and investigate conferences, symposiums, or workshops you have never attended. The list below covers selected events focused primarily on the use of technology in educational settings and on teaching, learning, and educational administration. Only listings until June 2011 are complete as dates, locations, or URLs are not available for a number of events held after June 2011. A Word 2003 format is used to enable people who do not have access to Word 2007 or higher version and those with limited or high-cost Internet access to find a conference that is congruent with their interests or obtain conference proceedings. (If you are seeking a more interactive listing, refer to online conference sites.) Consider using the “Find” tool under Microsoft Word’s “Edit” tab or similar tab in OpenOffice to locate the name of a particular conference, association, city, or country. If you enter the country “United Kingdom” in the “Find” tool, all conferences that occur in the United Kingdom will be highlighted. Then, “cut and paste” a list of suitable events for yourself and your colleagues. Please note that events, dates, titles, and locations may change; thus, CHECK the specific conference website. Note also that some events will be cancelled at a later date. All Internet addresses were verified at the time of publication. No liability is assumed for any errors that may have been introduced inadvertently during the assembly of this conference list. If possible, please do not remove the contact information when you re-distribute the list as that is how I receive updates and corrections. If you publish the list on the web, please note its source
Multiobjective global surrogate modeling, dealing with the 5-percent problem
When dealing with computationally expensive simulation codes or process measurement data, surrogate modeling methods are firmly established as facilitators for design space exploration, sensitivity analysis, visualization, prototyping and optimization. Typically the model parameter (=hyperparameter) optimization problem as part of global surrogate modeling is formulated in a single objective way. Models are generated according to a single objective (accuracy). However, this requires an engineer to determine a single accuracy target and measure upfront, which is hard to do if the behavior of the response is unknown. Likewise, the different outputs of a multi-output system are typically modeled separately by independent models. Again, a multiobjective approach would benefit the domain expert by giving information about output correlation and enabling automatic model type selection for each output dynamically. With this paper the authors attempt to increase awareness of the subtleties involved and discuss a number of solutions and applications. In particular, we present a multiobjective framework for global surrogate model generation to help tackle both problems and that is applicable in both the static and sequential design (adaptive sampling) case
Answering complex questions : supervised approaches
x, 108 leaves : ill. ; 29 cmThe term “Google” has become a verb for most of us. Search engines, however, have
certain limitations. For example ask it for the impact of the current global financial crisis
in different parts of the world, and you can expect to sift through thousands of results for
the answer. This motivates the research in complex question answering where the purpose
is to create summaries of large volumes of information as answers to complex questions,
rather than simply offering a listing of sources. Unlike simple questions, complex questions
cannot be answered easily as they often require inferencing and synthesizing information
from multiple documents. Hence, this task is accomplished by the query-focused multidocument
summarization systems. In this thesis we apply different supervised learning
techniques to confront the complex question answering problem. To run our experiments,
we consider the DUC-2007 main task.
A huge amount of labeled data is a prerequisite for supervised training. It is expensive
and time consuming when humans perform the labeling task manually. Automatic labeling
can be a good remedy to this problem. We employ five different automatic annotation
techniques to build extracts from human abstracts using ROUGE, Basic Element (BE) overlap,
syntactic similarity measure, semantic similarity measure and Extended String Subsequence
Kernel (ESSK). The representative supervised methods we use are Support Vector
Machines (SVM), Conditional Random Fields (CRF), Hidden Markov Models (HMM) and
Maximum Entropy (MaxEnt). We annotate DUC-2006 data and use them to train our systems,
whereas 25 topics of DUC-2007 data set are used as test data. The evaluation results
reveal the impact of automatic labeling methods on the performance of the supervised approaches
to complex question answering. We also experiment with two ensemble-based
approaches that show promising results for this problem domain

Seven Years after the Manifesto: Literature Review and Research Directions for Technologies in Animal Computer Interaction
As technologies diversify and become embedded in everyday lives, the technologies we expose to animals, and the new technologies being developed for animals within the field of Animal Computer Interaction (ACI) are increasing. As we approach seven years since the ACI manifesto, which grounded the field within Human Computer Interaction and Computer Science, this thematic literature review looks at the technologies developed for (non-human) animals. Technologies that are analysed include tangible and physical, haptic and wearable, olfactory, screen technology and tracking systems. The conversation explores what exactly ACI is whilst questioning what it means to be animal by considering the impact and loop between machine and animal interactivity. The findings of this review are expected to form the first grounding foundation of ACI technologies informing future research in animal computing as well as suggesting future areas for exploratio

EVA London 2022: Electronic Visualisation and the Arts
The Electronic Visualisation and the Arts London 2022 Conference (EVA London 2022) is co-sponsored by the Computer Arts Society (CAS) and BCS, the Chartered Institute for IT, of which the CAS is a Specialist Group. Of course, this has been a difficult time for all conferences, with the Covid-19 pandemic. For the first time since 2019, the EVA London 2022 Conference is a physical conference. It is also an online conference, as it was in the previous two years. We continue with publishing the proceedings, both online, with open access via ScienceOpen, and also in our traditional printed form, for the second year in full colour. Over recent decades, the EVA London Conference on Electronic Visualisation and the Arts has established itself as one of the United Kingdom’s most innovative and interdisciplinary conferences. It brings together a wide range of research domains to celebrate a diverse set of interests, with a specialised focus on visualisation. The long and short papers in this volume cover varied topics concerning the arts, visualisations, and IT, including 3D graphics, animation, artificial intelligence, creativity, culture, design, digital art, ethics, heritage, literature, museums, music, philosophy, politics, publishing, social media, and virtual reality, as well as other related interdisciplinary areas.
The EVA London 2022 proceedings presents a wide spectrum of papers, demonstrations, Research Workshop contributions, other workshops, and for the seventh year, the EVA London Symposium, in the form of an opening morning session, with three invited contributors. The conference includes a number of other associated evening events including ones organised by the Computer Arts Society, Art in Flux, and EVA International. As in previous years, there are Research Workshop contributions in this volume, aimed at encouraging participation by postgraduate students and early-career artists, accepted either through the peer-review process or directly by the Research Workshop chair. The Research Workshop contributors are offered bursaries to aid participation. In particular, EVA London liaises with Art in Flux, a London-based group of digital artists. The EVA London 2022 proceedings includes long papers and short “poster” papers from international researchers inside and outside academia, from graduate artists, PhD students, industry professionals, established scholars, and senior researchers, who value EVA London for its interdisciplinary community. The conference also features keynote talks. A special feature this year is support for Ukrainian culture after its invasion earlier in the year. This publication has resulted from a selective peer review process, fitting as many excellent submissions as possible into the proceedings.
This year, submission numbers were lower than previous years, mostly likely due to the pandemic and a new requirement to submit drafts of long papers for review as well as abstracts. It is still pleasing to have so many good proposals from which to select the papers that have been included. EVA London is part of a larger network of EVA international conferences. EVA events have been held in Athens, Beijing, Berlin, Brussels, California, Cambridge (both UK and USA), Canberra, Copenhagen, Dallas, Delhi, Edinburgh, Florence, Gifu (Japan), Glasgow, Harvard, Jerusalem, Kiev, Laval, London, Madrid, Montreal, Moscow, New York, Paris, Prague, St Petersburg, Thessaloniki, and Warsaw. Further venues for EVA conferences are very much encouraged by the EVA community. As noted earlier, this volume is a record of accepted submissions to EVA London 2022. Associated online presentations are in general recorded and made available online after the conference
