We present a multi-modal Deep Neural Network (DNN) approach for bird song identification. The presented approach takes both audio samples and metadata as input. The audio is fed into a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) using four convolutional layers. The additionally provided metadata is processed using fully connected layers. The flattened convolutional layers and the fully connected layer of the metadata are joined and fed into a fully connected layer. The resulting architecture achieved 2., 3. and 4. rank in the BirdCLEF2017 task in various training configurations.

software inspections are an efficient mean to improve quality. Learning Styles (LS) have been used to detect an individual's preferences to acquire and process information according to different dimensions. For requirements inspections, inspection teams with different LSs showed more effective at detecting defects than teams with similar LS. The goal of this paper is to investigate the influence of inspector's LS on the effectiveness and efficiency of design inspections. We conducted a quasi-experiment using a subset of a real requirements document and corresponding design diagrams with seeded defects, characterizing each of the participants according to their LSs. We also implemented a script to combine inspectors into nominal inspection teams. We observed that, for design inspections, teams with similar LSs were more effective and efficient than teams with dissimilar LSs. Design inspections seem to be affected more by other factors, such as defect detection techniques, than from selecting inspectors based on their learning styles. However, replications are needed to reinforce our results.

Models play an important role in software and systems Engineering processes. Reviews are well-established methods for model quality assurance that support early and efficient defect detection. However, traditional document-based review processes have limitations with respect to the number of experts, resources, and the document size that can be applied. In this paper, we introduce a distributed and scalable review process for model quality assurance to (a) improve defect detection effectiveness and (b) to increase review artifact coverage. Therefore, we introduce the novel concept of Expected Model Elements (EMEs) as a key concept for defect detection. EMEs can be used to drive the review process. We adapt a best-practice review process to distinguish (a) between the identification of EMEs in the reference document and (b) the use of EMEs to detect defects in the model. We design and evaluate the adapted review process with a crowdsourcing tool in a feasibility study. The study results show the feasibility of the adapted review process. Further, the study showed that inspectors using the adapted review process achieved results for defect detection effectiveness, which are comparable to the performance of inspectors using a traditional inspection process, and better defect detection efficiency Although the study shows promising results of the novel inspection process, future investigations should consider larger and more diverse review artifacts and the effect of the limited scope of artifact coverage for an individual inspector.
The empirical nature of Information Retrieval (IR) mandates strong experimental practices. The Cranfield/TREC evaluation paradigm represents a keystone of such experimental practices. Within this paradigm, the generat...
