Enabling Quality Control for Entity Resolution: A Human and Machine Cooperation Framework

Even though many machine algorithms have been proposed for entity resolution, it remains very challenging to find a solution with quality guarantees. In this paper, we propose a novel HUman and Machine cOoperation (HUMO) framework for entity resolution (ER), which divides an ER workload between the machine and the human. HUMO enables a mechanism for quality control that can flexibly enforce both precision and recall levels. We introduce the optimization problem of HUMO, minimizing human cost given a quality requirement, and then present three optimization approaches: a conservative baseline one purely based on the monotonicity assumption of precision, a more aggressive one based on sampling and a hybrid one that can take advantage of the strengths of both previous approaches. Finally, we demonstrate by extensive experiments on real and synthetic datasets that HUMO can achieve high-quality results with reasonable return on investment (ROI) in terms of human cost, and it performs considerably better than the state-of-the-art alternatives in quality control.Comment: 12 pages, 11 figures.

IMPLEMENTATION OF PANCASILA VALUES THROUGH GOVERNMENT POLICIES IN THE EDUCATION SECTOR IN THE ERA OF THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC

The outbreak of Covid-19 outbreak in Indonesia has prompted the government to issue many new policies related to various areas of people's lives. One of them is a policy in the field of education, namely through the establishment of LFH (Learning from Home) policies for all levels of education. The problem that arises is the demand for changes in student behavior from traditional learning methods to independent learning patterns. The purpose of this study was to find out how students apply Pancasila values ​​in carrying out learning in the Covid-19 Pandemic era in line with government policies. The research was conducted with a quantitative approach, starting with a literature study to find out aspects related to Pancasila values, LFH learning methods, and health policies in the Covid-19 Pandemic era. Based on the results of the literature study, a questionnaire was developed to collect data from students. The online version of the questionnaire is made so that it is easy to fill out by respondents, namely 114 college students. The research findings are interesting to observe, namely, the majority of respondents (56.2%) think that government policies in the field of education in the current Covid-19 Pandemic era have not been carried out effectively. Even (73.6%) of students stated that there was a decrease in learning motivation among students. This finding needs to be immediately anticipated by decision makers in universities considering that the start of the next semester will soon begin. The values ​​of Pancasila that are applied at this time are just and civilized humanity and the unity of Indonesia. &nbsp

Le monde virtuel: Miroir des changements reels en Algerie

Virtuel: ce mot dénote plusieurs sens. Dans un premier temps, le mot virtuel fait référence à Internet qui  est le lieu de notre recherche. Deuxièmement, la philosophie explique le mot virtuel en termes de ce qui est possible. Nous en arrivons à l’objet de notre article : une réflexion sur les futurs possibles des  nouveaux mondes virtuels. Toujours dans le même sens, le mode virtuel fait référence à notre objectif principal qui est de cerner la réflexion des internautes algériens à l’égard d’Internet. L’objet de cette contribution est l’analyse des discours sur l’informatique depuis ses premiers balbutiements, du milieu du siècle jusqu’à nos jours. Le questionnement sur la pensée informatique a évolué au rythme de la technologie; elle est passée d’une vision très pessimiste à des débats plus intenses sur le réseau Internet. Cette analyse nous permet d’atteindre notre objectif principal, celui d’évaluer d’une part, à travers le discours des internautes, l’impact que provoque l’utilisation du réseau Internet sur l’identité et la culture et d’autre part, d’identifier l’état de l’art de la réflexion des internautes algériens face aux enjeux sociaux débattus sur le réseau.MOTS CLES: Monde virtuel, appropriation d’Internet, identité et culture, enjeux sociaux, néo-tribalisme

An expert consensus for the management of chronic hepatitis B in Asian Americans.

BACKGROUND: Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is common with major clinical consequences. In Asian Americans, the HBsAg carrier rate ranges from 2% to 16% which approximates the rates from their countries of origin. Similarly, HBV is the most important cause of cirrhosis, hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and liver related deaths in HBsAg positive Asians worldwide. AIM: To generate recommendations for the management of Asian Americans infected with HBV. METHODS: These guidelines are based on relevant data derived from medical reports on HBV from Asian countries as well as from studies in the HBsAg positive Asian Americans. The guidelines herein differ from other recommendations in the treatment of both HBeAg positive and negative chronic hepatitis B (CHB), in the approach to HCC surveillance, and in the management of HBV in pregnant women. RESULTS: Asian American patients, HBeAg positive or negative, with HBV DNA levels \u3e2000 IU/mL (\u3e10 CONCLUSIONS: Application of the recommendations made based on a review of the relevant literature and the opinion of a panel of Asian American physicians with expertise in HBV treatment will inform physicians and improve patient outcomes
