This article describes how in context-aware ubiquitous learning environments, teachers must plan a theme and design learning contents to provide complete knowledge for students. Knowledge acquisition, which is an approach for helping people represent and organize domain knowledge, has been recognized as a potential way of guiding teachers to develop real-world context-related learning contents. However, previous studies failed to address the issue that the learning contents provided by multiple experts or teachers might be redundant or inconsistent; moreover, it is difficult to use the traditional knowledge acquisition method to fully describe the complex real-world contexts and the learning contents. Therefore, in this article, a multi-expert knowledge integration system with an enhanced knowledge representation approach and Delphi method has been developed. From the experimental results, it is found that the teachers involved had a high degree of acceptance of the system. They believe that it can unify the knowledge of many teachers.

The presented work is dedicated to the supervision of manufacturing job-shops with time constraints. Such systems have a robustness property towards time disturbances. The main contribution of this paper is a fuzzy filtering approach of sensors signals integrating the robustness values. This new approach integrates a classic filtering mechanism of sensors signals and fuzzy logic techniques. The strengths of these both techniques are taken advantage of the avoidance of control freezing and the capability of fuzzy systems to deal with imprecise information by using fuzzy rules. Finally, to demonstrate the effectiveness and accuracy of this new approach, an example is depicted. The results show that the fuzzy approach allows keeping on producing, but in a degraded mode, while providing the guarantees of quality and safety based on expert knowledge integration.

AbstractElectrophysiology data acquisition of single neurons represents a key factor for the understanding of neuronal dynamics. However, the traditional method to acquire this data is through patch-clamp technology, which presents serious scalability flaws due to its slowness and complexity to record at fine-grained spatial precision (dendrites and axon).In silico biophysical models are therefore created for simulating hundreds of experiments that would be impractical to recreate in vitro. The optimal way to create these models is based on the knowledge of the morphological and electrical features for each neuron. Since large-scale data acquisition is often unfeasible for electrical data, previous expert knowledge can be used but it must have an acceptable degree of similarity with the type of neurons that we are trying to model.Here, we present a data-driven machine learning approach to predict the electrophysiological features of single neurons in case of only having their morphology available. To solve this multi-output regression problem, we use an artificial neural network that has the particularity of providing a probability distribution for every output feature, to incorporate uncertainty. Input data to train the model is obtained from from the Allen Cell Types database. The electrical properties can depend on the morphology, whose acquisition technology is highly automated and scalable so there exist large data sets of them. We also provide integrations with the BluePyOpt library to create a biophysical model using the original morphology and the predicted electrical features. Finally, we connect the resulting biophysical model with the Geppetto UI software to run all the simulations in a sophisticated user interface.

Abstract To meet voltage and capability needs, batteries are grouped into packs, as power sources. Abnormal ones in a pack will lead to partial heating and reduced available life, so removing anomalies out during manufacturing is of great significance. The conventional methods to detect abnormal batteries mainly rely on grading systems and manual operations. Current data-driven methods use statistical, machine learning and neural network approaches, building models, then applying them on the unlabeled. However, both cannot make full use of multiple source data, and expert knowledge. Therefore, how to use these multi-source data and knowledges to improve the effect of battery anomaly detection process has become a research focus. We put forward a data-driven multi-source data feature fusion and expert knowledge integration (FFEKI) network architecture which follows encoder-decoder structure with multiple integration units and a corresponding joint loss function. First, we collect multi-source data, and obtain fusion features. Then, we refine filters from expert knowledges. By this way, supervisory knowledges are integrated into our network by integration units. We evaluate our scheme by sets of experiments comparing with most widely used approaches on real manufacturing data. Results show that FFEKI obtains a maximum 100% anomaly detection rate (ADR). Meanwhile, when the number of detection T is greater than the actual number of anomalies in the sample set, our method can achieve full ADR faster. It is concluded that the proposed FFEKI achieves effective performance on power lithium-ion battery anomaly detection.

The signature of the 2019 Declaration of Cooperation on advancing the digitization of cultural heritage in Europe shows the important role that the 3D digitization process plays in the safeguard and sustainability of cultural heritage. The digitization also aims at sharing and presenting cultural heritage. However, the processing steps of data acquisition to its presentation requires an interdisciplinary collaboration, where understanding and collaborative work is difficult due to the presence of different expert knowledge involved. This study proposes an end-to-end method from the cultural data acquisition to its presentation thanks to explicit semantics representing the different fields of expert knowledge intervening in this process. This method is composed of three knowledge-based processing steps: (i) a recommendation process of acquisition technology to support cultural data acquisition; (ii) an object recognition process to structure the unstructured acquired data; and (iii) an enrichment process based on Linked Open Data to document cultural objects with further information, such as geospatial, cultural, and historical information. The proposed method was applied in two case studies concerning the watermills of Ephesos terrace house 2 and the first Sacro Monte chapel in Varallo. These application cases show the proposed method’s ability to recognize and document digitized cultural objects in different contexts thanks to the semantics.
