It is well known that nowadays children tend to spend lot of time playing games on mobile devices at the expense of reading books. The current research aims to explore ways to design and develop a mobile application, attractive for children, that uses voice recognition technology and gamification techniques to help children read more and better and to track the progress of reading. The application is implemented with Flutter, Dart and Firebase and is addressed to children, the books being made available in encyclopedia format. By integrating technologies such as NLP and gamification the application aims to improve reading fluency among children, but also to give them the opportunity to accumulate new and exciting information in the same time.

Relative or decision reducts belong with mechanisms dedicated to feature selection, and they are embedded in rough set approach to data processing. Algorithms for reduct construction typically aim at dimensionality reduction aspect, searching for smallest reducts, which are considered as the most advantageous from the point of view of knowledge representation. However, classifiers build on reduced data models, based on reducts, can significantly vary in performance. Therefore, to ensure quality of predictions, other characteristics of reducts, apart from their cardinalities, need to be taken into account. The paper presents research in which estimation of reduct quality through their characteristics was reflected in calculation of the proposed weighting factors leading to attribute rankings. These rankings were next employed in the process of filtering decision rules, inferred by classic rough set approach. Constructed rule-based classifiers were applied in the stylometric domain to solve a task of authorship attribution.

In recent years, the number of artificial objects in Earth orbit has increased rapidly due to lower launch costs and new applications for satellites. More and more governments and private companies are discovering space for their own purposes. Private companies are using space as a new business field, launching thousands of satellites into orbit to offer services like worldwide Internet access. Consequently, the probability of collisions and, thus, the degradation of the orbital environment is rapidly increasing. To avoid devastating collisions at an early stage, efficient algorithms are required to identify satellites approaching each other. Traditional deterministic filter-based conjunction detection algorithms compare each satellite to every other satellite and pass them through a chain of orbital filters. Unfortunately, this leads to a runtime complexity of O(n 2 ). In this paper, we propose two alternative approaches that rely on spatial data structures and thus allow us to exploit modern hardware’s parallelism efficiently. Firstly, we introduce a purely grid-based variant that relies on non-blocking atomic hash maps to identify conjunctions. Secondly, we present a hybrid method that combines this approach with traditional filter chains. Both implementations make it possible to identify conjunctions in a large population with millions of satellites with high precision in a comparatively short time. While the grid-based variant is characterized by lower memory consumption, the hybrid variant is faster if enough memory is available.

There is a need for robust Reinforcement Learning (RL) algorithms that can cope with model misspecification, parameter uncertainty, disturbances, etc. Risk-sensitive methods offer an approach to developing robust RL algorithms by hedging against undesirable outcomes in a probabilistic manner. The Probabilistic Graphical Model (PGM) framework offers systematic exploration for risk-sensitive RL. In this paper, we bridge the Markov Decision Process (MDP) and the PGM frameworks. We exploit the equivalence of optimizing a certain risk-sensitive criterion in the MDP formalism with optimizing a log-likelihood objective in the PGM formalism. By utilizing this equivalence, we offer an approach for developing risk-sensitive algorithms by leveraging the PGM framework. We explore the Expectation-Maximization (EM) algorithm under the PGM formalism. We show that risk-sensitive policy gradient methods can be obtained by applying sampling-based approaches to the EM algorithm, e.g., Monte-Carlo EM, with the log-likelihood. We show that Monte-Carlo EM leads to a risk-sensitive Monte-Carlo policy gradient algorithm. Our simulations illustrate the risk-sensitive nature of the resulting algorithm.

This paper focuses on the problem of resilient phase angle stabilization and frequency synchronization in converter-based microgrids, utilizing phasor measurement units (PMUs), in the presence of false data injection (FDI) cyberattacks. The uniformly bounded cyber-attack signals are inserted to desynchronize converters and violate frequency constraints by manipulating control input channels. To tackle this issue, a resilient and robust cooperative angular control scheme is proposed by modifying the conventional angular control method and incorporating some auxiliary states interconnecting with physical states. By presenting the converter dynamics along with the proposed controller as a port-Hamiltonian (pH) system, the design considerations of the interconnection matrices are outlined. Theoretical analysis using input-output passivity and $H_{\infty}$ norm performance index are carried out to guarantee asymptotic stability and resilient frequency synchronization against FDI attacks. The performance and effectiveness of the proposed control scheme are evaluated through numerical simulations
