Conversational AI is of growing importance since it enables easy interaction interface between humans and computers. Due to its promising potential and alluring commercial values to serve as virtual assistants and/or social chatbots, major AI, NLP, and Search & Mining conferences are explicitly calling-out for contributions from conversational studies. It is an active research area and of considerable interest. To build a conversational system with moderate intelligence is challenging, and requires abundant dialogue data and interdisciplinary techniques. Along with the Web 2.0, the massive data available greatly facilitate data-driven methods such as deep learning for human-computer conversations. In general, conversational systems can be categorized into 1) task-oriented systems which aim to help users accomplish goals in vertical domains, and 2) social chat bots which can converse seamlessly and appropriately with humans, playing the role of a chat companion. In this paper, we focus on the survey of non-task-oriented chit-chat bots.

Nowadays, autonomous vehicle is an active research area, especially after the emergence of machine vision tasks with deep learning. In such a visual navigation system for autonomous vehicle, the controller captures images and predicts information so that the autonomous vehicle can safely navigate. In this paper, we first introduced small and medium-sized obstacles that were intentionally or unintentionally left on the road, which can pose hazards for both autonomous and human driving situations. Then, we discuss Markov random field (MRF) model by fusing three potentials (gradient potential, curvature prior potential, and depth variance potential) to segment the obstacles and non-obstacles into the hazardous environment. Since the segment of obstacles is done by MRF model, we can predict the information to safely navigate the autonomous vehicle form hazardous environment on the roadway by DNN model. We found that our proposed method can segment the obstacles accuracy from the blended background road and improve the navigation skills of the autonomous vehicle.

Semantic segmentation is one of the biggest challenging tasks in computer vision, especially in medical image analysis, it helps to locate and identify pathological structures automatically. It is an active research area. Continuously different techniques are proposed. Recently Deep Learning is the latest technique used intensively to improve the performance in medical image segmentation. For this reason, we present in this non-systematic review a preliminary description about semantic segmentation with deep learning and the most important steps to build a model that deal with this problem.

With the rapidly aging population and the rising number of people living with dementia (PLWD), there is an urgent need for programming and activities that can promote the health and wellbeing of PLWD. Due to staffing and budgetary constraints, there is considerable interest in using technology to support this effort. Serious games for dementia have become a very active research area. However, much of the work is being done without a strong theoretical basis. We incorporate a Montessori approach with highly tactile interactions. We have developed a person-centered design framework for serious games for dementia with initial design recommendations. This framework has the potential to facilitate future strategic design and development in the field of serious games for dementia.

According to UNESCO, cultural heritage does not only include monuments and collections of objects, but also contains traditions or living expressions inherited from our ancestors and passed to our descendants. Folk dances represent part of cultural heritage and their preservation for the next generations appears of major importance. Digitization and visualization of folk dances form an increasingly active research area in computer science. In parallel to the rapidly advancing technologies, new ways for learning folk dances are explored, making the digitization and visualization of assorted folk dances for learning purposes using different equipment possible. Along with challenges and limitations, solutions that can assist the learning process and provide the user with meaningful feedback are proposed. In this paper, an overview of the techniques used for the recording of dance moves is presented. The different ways of visualization and giving the feedback to the user are reviewed as well as ways of performance evaluation. This paper reviews advances in digitization and visualization of folk dances from 2000 to 2018.

Proof Of Retrievability

The auditing services of the outsourced data, especially big data, have been an active research area recently. Many schemes of remotely data auditing (RDA) have been proposed. Both categories of RDA, which are Provable Data Possession (PDP) and Proof of Retrievability (PoR), mostly represent the core schemes for most researchers to derive new schemes that support additional capabilities such as batch and dynamic auditing. In this paper, we choose the most popular PDP schemes to be investigated due to the existence of many PDP techniques which are further improved to achieve efficient integrity verification. We firstly review the work of literature to form the required knowledge about the auditing services and related schemes. Secondly, we specify a methodology to be adhered to attain the research goals. Then, we define each selected PDP scheme and the auditing properties to be used to compare between the chosen schemes. Therefore, we decide, if possible, which scheme is optimal in handling big data auditing.

Active Research Area

The impact of cultural diversity on group interactions through technology is an active research area. Current research has found that a student’s culture appears to influence online interactions with teachers and other students (Freedman & Liu, 1996). Students from Asian and Western cultures have different Web-based learning styles (Liang & McQueen, 1999), and Scandinavian students demonstrate a more restrained online presence compared to their more expressive American counterparts (Bannon, 1995). Differences were also found across cultures in online compared to face-to-face discussions (Warschauer, 1996). Student engagement, discourse, and interaction are valued highly in “western” universities. With growing internationalization of western campuses, increasing use of educational technology both on and off campus, and rising distance learning enrollments, intercultural frictions are bound to increase.

Optical Character Recognition has been an active research area in computer science for several years. Several research works undertaken on various languages in India. In this paper an attempt has been made to find out the percentage of accuracy in word and character segmentation of Hindi (National language of India) and Odia is one of the Regional Language mostly spoken in Odisha and a few Eastern India states. A comparative article has been published under this article. 10 sets of each printed Odia and Devanagari scripts with different word limits were used in this study. The documents were scanned at 300dpi before adopting pre-processing and segmentation procedure. The result shows that the percentage of accuracy both in word and character segmentation is higher in Odia language as compared to Hindi language. One of the reasons is the use of headers line in Hindi which makes the segmentation process cumbersome. Thus, it can be concluded that the accuracy level can vary from one language to the other and from word segmentation to that of the character segmentation.

Optical Character Recognition (OCR) is a very active research area in many challenging fields like pattern recognition, natural language processing (NLP), computer vision, biomedical informatics, machine learning (ML), and artificial intelligence (AI). This computational technology extracts the text in an editable format (MS Word/Excel, text files, etc.) from PDF files, scanned or hand-written documents, images (photographs, advertisements, and alike), etc. for further processing and has been utilized in many real-world applications including banking, education, insurance, finance, healthcare and keyword-based search in documents, etc. Many OCR toolsets are available under various categories, including open-source, proprietary, and online services. This research paper provides a comparative study of various OCR toolsets considering a variety of parameters.
