Forging a Template of MOOCs Course Development Experience in Taiwan Higher Education

[[abstract]]With the development of Internet technologies, many school courses are put on the internet. However, high-quality online courses can be scarcely found in the fields of education or business training system. In order to provide learners with high-quality online courses, this paper intends to put forward some templates for the stage of designing online courses. Moreover, this paper shares the experience in producing the Internet of Things course. Accordingly, the purposes of this paper are: (1) to suggest the templates which may be beneficial to course designs, (2) to give a case example to guide the course development. Due to the limited time and expenses, the paper simply gives a direct and a mastery learning templates as examples. The results indicate that the templates would help team members to communicate and cooperate with one another during course-developing periods. The significance of this paper is to offer guideline for those who intend to produce high-quality online courses. paper must have an abstract.

An enhanced binary bat and Markov clustering algorithms to improve event detection for heterogeneous news text documents

Event Detection (ED) works on identifying events from various types of data. Building an ED model for news text documents greatly helps decision-makers in various disciplines in improving their strategies. However, identifying and summarizing events from such data is a non-trivial task due to the large volume of published heterogeneous news text documents. Such documents create a high-dimensional feature space that influences the overall performance of the baseline methods in ED model. To address such a problem, this research presents an enhanced ED model that includes improved methods for the crucial phases of the ED model such as Feature Selection (FS), ED, and summarization. This work focuses on the FS problem by automatically detecting events through a novel wrapper FS method based on Adapted Binary Bat Algorithm (ABBA) and Adapted Markov Clustering Algorithm (AMCL), termed ABBA-AMCL. These adaptive techniques were developed to overcome the premature convergence in BBA and fast convergence rate in MCL. Furthermore, this study proposes four summarizing methods to generate informative summaries. The enhanced ED model was tested on 10 benchmark datasets and 2 Facebook news datasets. The effectiveness of ABBA-AMCL was compared to 8 FS methods based on meta-heuristic algorithms and 6 graph-based ED methods. The empirical and statistical results proved that ABBAAMCL surpassed other methods on most datasets. The key representative features demonstrated that ABBA-AMCL method successfully detects real-world events from Facebook news datasets with 0.96 Precision and 1 Recall for dataset 11, while for dataset 12, the Precision is 1 and Recall is 0.76. To conclude, the novel ABBA-AMCL presented in this research has successfully bridged the research gap and resolved the curse of high dimensionality feature space for heterogeneous news text documents. Hence, the enhanced ED model can organize news documents into distinct events and provide policymakers with valuable information for decision making

Aprendizado de representações e correspondências baseadas em grafos para tarefas de classificação

Orientador: Ricardo da Silva TorresTese (doutorado) - Universidade Estadual de Campinas, Instituto de ComputaçãoResumo: Muitas situações do mundo real podem ser modeladas por meio de objetos e seus relacionamentos, como, por exemplo, estradas conectando cidades em um mapa. Grafo é um conceito derivado da abstração dessas situações. Grafos são uma poderosa representação estrutural que codifica relações entre objetos e entre seus componentes em um único formalismo. Essa representação é tão poderosa que é aplicada em uma ampla gama de aplicações, de bioinformática a redes sociais. Dessa maneira, diversos problemas de reconhecimento de padrões são modelados para utilizar representações baseadas em grafos. Em problemas de classificação, os relacionamentos presentes entre objetos ou entre seus componentes são explorados para obter soluções efetivas e/ou eficientes. Nesta tese, nós investigamos o uso de grafos em problemas de classificação. Nós propomos duas linhas de pesquisa na tese: 1) uma representação baseada em grafos associados a objetos multi-modais; e 2) uma abordagem baseada em aprendizado para identificar correspondências entre grafos. Inicialmente, nós investigamos o uso do método Sacola de Grafos Visuais para representar regiões na classificação de imagens de sensoriamento remoto, considerando a distribuição espacial de pontos de interesse dentro da imagem. Quando é feita a combinação de representações de cores e textura, nós obtivemos resultados efetivos em duas bases de dados da literatura (Monte Santo e Campinas). Em segundo lugar, nós propomos duas novas extensões do método de Sacola de Grafos para a representação de objetos multi-modais. Ao utilizar essas abordagens, nós combinamos visões complementares de diferentes modalidades (por exemplo, descrições visuais e textuais). Nós validamos o uso dessas abordagens no problema de detecção de enchentes proposto pela iniciativa MediaEval, obtendo 86,9\% de acurácia nos 50 primeiros resultados retornados. Nós abordamos o problema de corresponência de grafos ao propor um arcabouço original para aprender a função de custo no método de distância de edição de grafos. Nós também apresentamos algumas implementações utilizando métodos de reconhecimento em cenário aberto e medidas de redes complexas para caracterizar propriedades locais de grafos. Até onde sabemos, nós fomos os primeiros a tratar o processo de aprendizado de custo como um problema de reconhecimento em cenário aberto e os primeiros a explorar medidas de redes complexas em tais problemas. Nós obtivemos resultados efetivos, que são comparáveis a diversos métodos da literatura em problemas de classificação de grafosAbstract: Many real-world situations can be modeled through objects and their relationships, like the roads connecting cities in a map. Graph is a concept derived from the abstraction of these situations. Graphs are a powerful structural representation, which encodes relationship among objects and among their components into a single formalism. This representation is so powerful that it is applied to a wide range of applications, ranging from bioinformatics to social networks. Thus, several pattern recognition problems are modeled to use graph-based representations. In classification problems, the relationships among objects or among their components are exploited to achieve effective and/or efficient solutions. In this thesis, we investigate the use of graphs in classification problems. Two research venues are followed: 1) proposal of graph-based multimodal object representations; and 2) proposal of learning-based approaches to support graph matching. Firstly, we investigated the use of the recently proposed Bag-of-Visual-Graphs method in the representation of regions in a remote sensing classification problem, considering the spatial distribution of interest points within the image. When we combined color and texture representations, we obtained effective results in two datasets of the literature (Monte Santo and Campinas). Secondly, we proposed two new extensions of the Bag-of-Graphs method to the representation of multimodal objects. By using these approaches, we can combine complementary views of different modalities (e.g., visual and textual descriptions). We validated the use of these approaches in the flooding detection problem proposed by the MediaEval initiative, achieving 86.9\% of accuracy at the Precision@50. We addressed the graph matching problem by proposing an original framework to learn the cost function in a graph edit distance method. We also presented a couple of formulations using open-set recognition methods and complex network measurements to characterize local graph properties. To the best of our knowledge, we were the first to conduct the cost learning process as an open-set recognition problem and to exploit complex network measurements in such problems. We have achieved effective results, which are comparable to several baselines in graph classification problemsDoutoradoCiência da ComputaçãoDoutor em Ciência da Computação2016/18429-141584/2016-5CAPESFAPESPCNP
