Data Analytics Development from Military Operational Data

Each year, the National Training Center (NTC) located at Fort Irwin, California, hosts multiple Brigade-level rotational units to conduct training exercises. NTC’s Instrumentation Systems (NTC-IS) digitally capture and store characteristics of movement and maneuver, use of fires, and other tactical operations in a vast database. The Army’s Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC) recently partnered with Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC) to make some of the data available for introductory analysis within a relational database. While this data has the potential to expose capability gaps, uncover the truth behind doctrinal assumptions, and create a sophisticated feedback platform for Army leaders at all levels, it is largely unexplored and underutilized. The purpose of this project is to demonstrate the value of this data by developing a prototype information system that supports post-rotation analytics, playback capabilities, and repeatable workflows that measure and expose ground-truth operational and logistical behavior and performance during a rotation. The Army modeling and analysis community will use these products to systematically curate and archive the database and enable future analysis of the NTC-IS data.

Neural network model also has additional inputs (bias) that including restrictions on calculating parameters. The program “Fusion” of visualization of the state of execution of an exercise by a cadet/listener has been developed. Three types of simulation training exercises for CTR (control zone), TMA (terminal control area), and CTA (control area) with different complexity have been analyzed.

Teaching Interpreting for Tourism Purposes

This article proposes a model for teaching interpreting for tourism purposes. It shows the aims of the model, interpreting materials, training strategies, training environment and assessment techniques. The model aims to train students to interpret in English with or without prior preparation or knowledge of the topic and without taking or reading form notes. The training model consists of the following exercises: (i) breathing exercises; (ii) memory training exercises; (iii) shadowing exercises; (iv) sentence paraphrasing; (v) summarizing sentences, then whole paragraphs about tourism; (vi) listening to single words, sentences, and a short paragraph about tourism and interpreting them; (vii) listening to familiar and easy tourism topics, then more difficult ones with a variety of tourism sub-topics. In a multimedia language lab, the students may listen to tourism podcasts, watch tourism documentaries or TED Talks and interpret the content from English to Arabic and vice versa. Simulations (role playing) of tourists and interpreters in teams of three or more may be conducted. Students may also visit a local tourist attraction, interpret, or give a commentary on-site. The training program objectives, types of interpreting, interpreting exercises, training materials, teaching and learning strategies and assessment techniques are described in detail.

Selection and organization of speech material for teaching students of Linguistics foreign-language speaking. Part I

The problem for the research. Modern social contract requires linguistic departments and universities to create the most favourable conditions for teaching students oral productive foreign-language speech in order to develop their universal, general professional and professional competencies. The problem of the research is connected with the solution of the issues of selection and organization of speech material, adequate to the tasks of teaching speaking at the Linguistics Department to ensure interpersonal, intercultural and professional interaction of students. Methods of investigation. Experimental teaching students foreign-language speaking on the basis of the principles of selection and organization of speech material, proposed in the article, was carried out at the Linguistics Department of Vyatka State University (32 first-year students, speciality 44.03.05 Pedagogical Education (with two profiles), the training focus “English, German”). Quantitative and qualitative criteria for evaluating students’ monologic and dialogical speech were developed. The criteria were reflected in the subsystem of informative and analytical training exercises, as well as speech ones on the controlled use of materials of educational conversational texts, on working with model dialogues, for teaching prepared and spontaneous oral speech. The findings of the study. The results of the experimental work indicate that the proficiency in foreign-language monologic speech (cycle 1) increased in 56% of students; dialogical speech (cycle 2) – in 66 %. The calculation of G-criterion of signs revealed that at the end of the 1st cycle Gemp. ≤ Gcr. (0 ≤ 5); at the end of the 2nd one Gemp. ≤ Gcr. (0 ≤ 6). This indicates that the shift in the typical direction in our case is not accidental, and with 95 % of confidence it can be stated that it is due to the conduct of experimental work. Conclusions. The purpose of the article is achieved. It presents the typology of speech material for teaching foreign-language speaking at the Linguistics Department; the principles and products of its selection and organization. It is proved that taking into account the proposed principles improves the quality of teaching an oral productive type of foreign-language speech activity and contributes to the development of universal, general professional and professional competencies of students.

CONFIDENCE LEVEL OF A MOTION FEEDBACK SYSTEM FOR ANALYZING EXERCISE TRAINING EFFICACY

The increase in aged population is a global trend. Inculcating healthy behaviors such as regular exercises in the elderly has a significant impact on the financial and medical burden globally. Moreover, air pollution and the outbreak of the coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19) pose a serious threat to public health. In order to improve the health conditions of the population, this study developed a motion feedback system named MoveV that can be used for several indoor training exercises. This system provides instant motion feedback by synchronizing exercise training videos on the website using a motion analysis algorithm that is applicable on smartphones, and a cloud database platform is used to record health behaviors. Feature extraction is performed based on force intensity, motion velocity, and exercise direction. The resultant accuracy of the motion feedback system was tested by a motion science expert and presented as the confidence level. For perfect movement, a confidence level of up to 90.5% was achieved, indicating that the MoveV system was able to record users’ exercise frequency and distinguish whether the user was performing well in the exercise movements. The proposed system is convenient and does not incur additional expenditure by purchasing any new device. Furthermore, it provides visual and voice feedback, companionship, and exercise motivation to the users, all of which are important factors when using online exercise platforms.
