AbstractAutomatic bird detection in ornithological analyses is limited by the accuracy of existing models, due to the lack of training data and the difficulties in extracting the fine-grained features required to distinguish bird species. Here we apply the domain randomization strategy to enhance the accuracy of the deep learning models in bird detection. Trained with virtual birds of sufficient variations in different environments, the model tends to focus on the fine-grained features of birds and achieves higher accuracies. Based on the 100 terabytes of 2-month continuous monitoring data of egrets, our results cover the findings using conventional manual observations, e.g., vertical stratification of egrets according to body size, and also open up opportunities of long-term bird surveys requiring intensive monitoring that is impractical using conventional methods, e.g., the weather influences on egrets, and the relationship of the migration schedules between the great egrets and little egrets.

Deep learning-based methods have achieved good performance in various recognition benchmarks mostly by utilizing single modalities. As different modalities contain complementary information to each other, multi-modal based methods are proposed to implicitly utilize them. In this paper, we propose a simple technique, called correspondence learning (CL), which explicitly learns the relationship among multiple modalities. The multiple modalities in the data samples are randomly mixed among different samples. If the modalities are from the same sample (not mixed), then they have positive correspondence, and vice versa. CL is an auxiliary task for the model to predict the correspondence among modalities. The model is expected to extract information from each modality to check correspondence and achieve better representations in multi-modal recognition tasks. In this work, we first validate the proposed method in various multi-modal benchmarks including CMU Multimodal Opinion-Level Sentiment Intensity (CMU-MOSI) and CMU Multimodal Opinion Sentiment and Emotion Intensity (CMU-MOSEI) sentiment analysis datasets. In addition, we propose a fraud detection method using the learned correspondence among modalities. To validate this additional usage, we collect a multi-modal dataset for fraud detection using real-world samples for reverse vending machines.

Informal learning is a universal current phenomenon of learning via participation, experience, or learning via student-centered knowledge creation. It stands in stark contrast with the traditional view of didactic teacher-centered learning. Online education can be regarded as a positive and self-directed form of informal learning. Whether or not deep learning takes place for the online learner is a controversial topic for many educators. This chapter will discuss the benefits and challenges of the relationship between informal online learning leading to deeper learning. But, what isn't controversial is that in this century more education has been delivered in digital platforms than in any other time in history. For most providers of education to remain highly competitive, they must engage in electronic education of some form by moving beyond the brick and mortar of the traditional classroom. Informal learning has become the impetus resulting in the extensive and intensive application of electronic education.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the accountability practices of the directors in New Zealand and Australian dairy co-operatives. An interpretation of their practices, which focus on the relationship between directors and their farmer-shareholders, is informed by Roberts’ (2001a) understandings of a socializing accountability. Design/methodology/approach – The fieldwork consists of interviews with 23 directors, including all chief executive officers and chairmen, of six dairy co-operatives together with observations and document analysis. These co-operatives together comprise a significant portion of the regional dairy industry. The methodology draws from Eisenhardt’s (1989) qualitative approach to theory formation. Findings – The authors find that these directors engage in a discourse-based, community-grounded and egalitarian form of socializing accountability. As such, their practices adhere generally to Roberts (2001a) hopes for a more considerate and humble relationship between an accountor and an accountee. Social implications – Findings add to the small pool of research on the lived experiences of co-operative boards and to a parsimonious literature in socializing accountability practices. The contributions of the study are in advancing real understandings of alternative forms of accountability, in evaluating the conditions in which these alternatives may be likely to arise and in anticipating the challenges and opportunities that arise therefrom. Originality/value – The originality of the project arises from accessing the views of these industry leaders and, through their frank expressions, coming to understand how they achieve a form of a socializing accountability in their relationships with farmer-shareholders.

Abstract It is important to study the relationship between floods and sea-level rise due to climate change. In this research, dynamic sea-level variability with deep learning has been investigated. In this research sea surface temperature (SST) from MODIS, wind speed, precipitation and sea-level rise from satellite altimetry investigated for dynamic sea-level variability. An annual increase of 0.1 ° C SST is observed around the Gutenberg coast. Also in the middle of the North Sea, an annual increase of about 0.2 ° C is evident. The annual sea surface height (SSH) trend is 3 mm on the Gothenburg coast. We have a strong positive spatial correlation of SST and SSH near the Gothenburg coast. In the next step dynamic sea-level variability is predicted with long short time memory. Root mean square error of wind speed, precipitation, and mean sea-level forecasts are 0.84 m/s, 48 mm and 2.4 mm. The annual trends resulting from 5-year periods, show a significant increase from 28 mm to 46 mm per year in the last 5 year periods. The rate of increase has doubled. The wavelet can be useful for detecting dynamic sea-level variability.
