Understanding human activity based on sensor information is required in many applications and has been an active research area. Withthe advancement of depth sensors and tracking algorithms, systems for human motion activity analysis can be built by combining off-the-shelf motion tracking systems with application-dependent learning tools to extract higher semantic level information. Many of these motion tracking systems provide raw motion data registered to the skeletal joints in the human body. In this paper, we propose novel representations for human motion data using the skeleton-based graph structure along with techniques in graph signal processing. Methods for graph construction and their corresponding basis functions are discussed. the proposed representations can achieve comparable classification performance in action recognition tasks while additionally being more robust to noise and missing data.

Saturation is an efficient exploration order for computing the set of reachable states symbolically. Attempts to parallelize saturation have so far resulted in limited speedup. We demonstrate for the first time that on-the-fly symbolic saturation can be successfully parallelized at a large scale. To this end, we implemented saturation in Sylvan's multi-core decision diagrams used by the LTSmin model checker. We report extensive experiments, measuring the speedup of parallel symbolic saturation on a 48-core machine, and compare it withthe speedup of parallel symbolic BFS and chaining. We find that the parallel scalability varies from quite modest to excellent. We also compared the speedup of on-the-fly saturation and saturation for pre-learned transition relations. Finally, we compared our implementation of saturation withthe existing sequential implementation based on Meddly. the empirical evaluation uses Petri nets from the model checking contest, but thanks to the architecture of LTSmin, parallel on-the-fly saturation is now available to multiple specification languages. Data or code related to this paper is available at: [34].

Withthe advancement of Visual Analytics (VA) and its spread into various application fields comes along a specialization of methods and tools. this adds complexity and requires extra effort when devising domain-dependent VA solutions, as for every new domain question a new specialized tool or framework must be developed. In this paper, we investigate the possibility of using and re-using existing tools - domain-dependent and general-purpose - by loosely coupling them into specialized VA tool ensembles as needed. We call such coupling among independent tools lightweight coordination, as it is minimally-invasive, pair-wise, and opportunistic in utilizing whichever interface a VA tool offers. We propose the use of lightweight coordination for managing the workflow, the data flow, and the control flow among VA tools, and we show how it can be supported with suitable setups of the multiple tool UN involved. this concept of lightweight coordination is exemplified with a health care scenario, where an ensemble of independent VA tools is used in a concerted way to pursue the visual analysis of a patient's troublesome vital data.

Due to the rotor construction, Synchronous Reluctance (SynRel) machines exhibit high magnetic saturation and cross-saturation. this leads to strongly variable dq inductances, which affect the current loop response. In order to achieve constant current loop dynamics, controller gains need to be adapted according to the current bias. In this paper, three different methods for implementing a PI current controller are analyzed and tested. the magnetic characteristics of the tested SynRel are obtained using the FEA and also a state-of-the-art experimental procedure. the experimental verification of the current loop response is given for a 15 kW 3-phase SynRel motor, using a standard industrial 3-phase inverter.

Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) offer a wide range of opportunities for learning. their growing popularity has resulted in a large amount of data being available for learning analytics purposes. A major problem of MOOCs is the overwhelming number of posts in their discussion forums. the forum is a key part of the learning process within a MOOC, so this information overload affects negatively the participants' learning experience. Automatic classification of the posts can help searching of relevant information for boththe learners and teaching assistants. In this study, we address this problem by building two multiclass classification models, using natural language processing techniques, that classify the posts according to a three-category coding scheme. Each model was created with data derived from a MOOC of different subject matter. the main goal was to evaluate each model's accuracy along with its generalizability to courses of different subject matter. this study contributes to the line of research for automatic classification of forum discussions, ultimately aiming at the development of toolsthat may assist participants while searching in the forum. Furthermore it provides insights on the main issues that inhibit generalization of classifiers created for a specific subject matter and investigate how their linguistic features relate to this inhibition.

Industry widely uses unstructured merge toolsthat rely on textual analysis to detect and resolve conflicts between code contributions. Semistructured merge tools go further by partially exploring the syntactic structure of code artifacts, and, as a consequence, obtaining significant merge accuracy gains for Java-like languages. To understand whether semistructured merge and the observed gains generalize to other kinds of languages, we implement two semistructured merge tools for JavaScript, and compare them to an unstructured tool. We find that current semistructured merge algorithms and frameworks are not directly applicable for scripting languages like JavaScript. By adapting the algorithms, and studying 10,345 merge scenarios from 50 JavaScript projects on Github, we find evidence that our JavaScript tools report fewer spurious conflicts than unstructured merge, without compromising the correctness of the merging process. the gains, however, are much smaller than the ones observed for Java-like languages, suggesting that semistructured merge advantages might be limited for languages that allow both commutative and non-commutative declarations at the same syntactic level.

Upcoming is the construction of informational and social spaces which integrate heterogeneous technologies and various approaches to the collection, storage and processing of information related to the plant genetic resources of Bulgaria. In the present paper a multistage algorithm for automatic analysis of documents from the area of plant genetic resources is proposed. Determination of the significant words in the document and the type of its content is carried out based on the object-oriented ontologies in the field. By applying software instruments for classification, testing and evaluation, the documents are classified into related and not related to the studied subject area - agriculture and plant genetic resources of Bulgaria.
