Keeping up the attendance record with everyday exercises is a difficult task. The conventional method of marking staff attendance is by tapping their ID card and then using fingerprint scanner. But due to COVID-19 pandemic the attendance system of using fingerprint scanner is stalled and currently not in use. The following system depends on face recognition and intranet connectivity to keep up attendance record of facilities and staff. The paper discusses the attendance marking system that is passive (no direct contact with the scanner or sensor) and restricting the users within certain network. The main goal of this system is divided in two steps, in initial step face is snare from the front camera of the smart phone and it is then recognized in the picture and in the second step these distinguished appearances and features are contrasted with stored information in data set for confirmation.

Attendance marking in a classroom is one of the methods used to track the student’s presence in the lecture. The conventional method that is being enforced has shown to be vulnerable, inaccurate and time-consuming especially in a large classroom. It is difficult to identify absentees and proxy attendees based on the conventional attendance marking method. In order to overcome the challenges faced in the conventional method, a web-based mobile attendance system with facial recognition feature is proposed. It incorporated the existing mobile devices with a camera and the face recognition system to allow the attendance system to be used in classrooms automatically and efficiently with minor implementation requirements. The system prototype received positive responses from the volunteers who tested the system to replace the conventional attendance marking.

Abstract. Four experiments were conducted investigating the effect of size congruency on facial recognition memory, measured by remember, know and guess responses. Different study times were employed, that is extremely short (300 and 700 ms), short (1,000 ms), and long times (5,000 ms). With the short study time (1,000 ms) size congruency occurred in knowing. With the long study time the effect of size congruency occurred in remembering. These results support the distinctiveness/fluency account of remembering and knowing as well as the memory systems account, since the size congruency effect that occurred in knowing under conditions that facilitated perceptual fluency also occurred independently in remembering under conditions that facilitated elaborative encoding. They do not support the idea that remember and know responses reflect differences in trace strength.

A data set has been developed for the reporting of excisional biopsies and resection specimens for malignant odontogenic tumors by members of an expert panel working on behalf of the International Collaboration on Cancer Reporting, an international organization established to unify and standardize reporting of cancers. Odontogenic tumors are rare, which limits evidence-based support for designing a scientifically sound data set for reporting them. Thus, the selection of reportable elements within the data set and considering them as either core or noncore is principally based on evidence from malignancies affecting other organ systems, limited case series, expert opinions, and/or anecdotal reports. Nevertheless, this data set serves as the initial step toward standardized reporting on malignant odontogenic tumors that should evolve over time as more evidence becomes available and functions as a prompt for further research to provide such evidence.

Abstract. Coupled hydrogeophysical methods infer hydrological and petrophysical parameters directly from geophysical measurements. Widespread methods do not explicitly recognize uncertainty in parameter estimates. Therefore, we apply a sequential Bayesian framework that provides updates of state, parameters and their uncertainty whenever measurements become available. We have coupled a hydrological and an electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) forward code in a particle filtering framework. First, we analyze a synthetic data set of lysimeter infiltration monitored with ERT. In a second step, we apply the approach to field data measured during an infiltration event on a full-scale dike model. For the synthetic data, the water content distribution and the hydraulic conductivity are accurately estimated after a few time steps. For the field data, hydraulic parameters are successfully estimated from water content measurements made with spatial time domain reflectometry and ERT, and the development of their posterior distributions is shown.

To Maintain the attendance record with day to day activities is a challenging task. The conventional method of calling name of each student is time consuming and there is always a chance of proxy attendance. The smart attendance management will replace the manual method, which takes a lot of time consuming and difficult to maintain. There are many biometric processes, in that face recognition is the best method. Here we are using the computer vision which is a field of deep learning that is used for the camera reading and writing and using TkInter to create a GUI application.

In recent times the usage of intelligent systems have paved way formany applications to be robust and self-reliant. One such popularand vast growing technology is face recognition. Facial Recognitiontechnology is used in security, surveillance, criminal justice systemsand many other multimedia platforms. This work proposes a realtime facial recognition technology which can be used in any industrialsetup eliminating manual supervision, ensuring authorized accessto the personnel in the plant. Due to the recent development ofCOVID-19 pandemic around the world, wearing masks has becomea necessity. Our proposed facial recognition technology identifies aperson’s face with mask or no mask in real time with a speed of20 FPS on a CPU and an F1-score of 95.07%. This makes ouralgorithm fast, secure, robust and deployable on a simple personalcomputer or any edge device at any industrial plant or organization.

Abstract UMAP is a nonparametric graph-based dimensionality reduction algorithm using applied Riemannian geometry and algebraic topology to find low-dimensional embeddings of structured data. The UMAP algorithm consists of two steps: (1) computing a graphical representation of a data set (fuzzy simplicial complex) and (2) through stochastic gradient descent, optimizing a low-dimensional embedding of the graph. Here, we extend the second step of UMAP to a parametric optimization over neural network weights, learning a parametric relationship between data and embedding. We first demonstrate that parametric UMAP performs comparably to its nonparametric counterpart while conferring the benefit of a learned parametric mapping (e.g., fast online embeddings for new data). We then explore UMAP as a regularization, constraining the latent distribution of autoencoders, parametrically varying global structure preservation, and improving classifier accuracy for semisupervised learning by capturing structure in unlabeled data.


This paper proposes an improved data compression technique compared to existing Lempel-Ziv-Welch (LZW) algorithm. LZW is a dictionary-updation based compression technique which stores elements from the data in the form of codes and uses them when those strings recur again. When the dictionary gets full, every element in the dictionary are removed in order to update dictionary with new entry. Therefore, the conventional method doesn’t consider frequently used strings and removes all the entry. This method is not an effective compression when the data to be compressed are large and when there are more frequently occurring string. This paper presents two new methods which are an improvement for the existing LZW compression algorithm. In this method, when the dictionary gets full, the elements that haven’t been used earlier are removed rather than removing every element of the dictionary which happens in the existing LZW algorithm. This is achieved by adding a flag to every element of the dictionary. Whenever an element is used the flag is set high. Thus, when the dictionary gets full, the dictionary entries where the flag was set high are kept and others are discarded. In the first method, the entries are discarded abruptly, whereas in the second method the unused elements are removed once at a time. Therefore, the second method gives enough time for the nascent elements of the dictionary. These techniques all fetch similar results when data set is small. This happens due to the fact that difference in the way they handle the dictionary when it’s full. Thus these improvements fetch better results only when a relatively large data is used. When all the three techniques' models were used to compare a data set with yields best case scenario, the compression ratios of conventional LZW is small compared to improved LZW method-1 and which in turn is small compared to improved LZW method-2.

In order to improve the low accuracy of the face recognition methods in the case of e-health, this paper proposed a novel face recognition approach, which is based on convolutional neural network (CNN). In detail, through resolving the convolutional kernel, rectified linear unit (ReLU) activation function, dropout, and batch normalization, this novel approach reduces the number of parameters of the CNN model, improves the non-linearity of the CNN model, and alleviates overfitting of the CNN model. In these ways, the accuracy of face recognition is increased. In the experiments, the proposed approach is compared with principal component analysis (PCA) and support vector machine (SVM) on ORL, Cohn-Kanade, and extended Yale-B face recognition data set, and it proves that this approach is promising.
