subject: GBS; Jiuzhang; Quantum information processing; Qubits; Random circuit sampling; Supremacy; Sycamore; Zuchongzhi 2.1
description: Quantum computing leverages the principles of quantum mechanics for information processing, with qubits serving as the fundamental units of quantum information. Qubits are quantum states where information processing can be engineered. Qubits possess the unique ability to encode, manipulate and extract information, enabling remarkable parallelism in computation. This enhanced computational speed, called quantum supremacy, promises to transcend established complexity boundaries. Significant strides have been made in demonstrating quantum supremacy through various experiments, most notably Googles 2019 experiment utilizing the Sycamore quantum processor to solve a problem that would stymie classical supercomputers for millennia. Other research groups, such as the Chinese team employing Jiuzhang and Zuchongzhi quantum processors, have achieved similar feats, showcasing the profound computational capabilities of quantum computers. It is essential to underscore that quantum supremacy does not signify quantum computers superiority across all tasks; current quantum computers remain constrained in their applicability, excelling primarily in specific problem domains. Nevertheless, recent advancements in quantum computing are noteworthy and ongoing development promises to expand their problem-solving capacities. This paper offers an introductory overview of quantum computing and an assessment of three prominent quantum supremacy experiments.

There is an explosion in data produced by online and virtual education, e-learning platforms, and institutional IT. Using these statistics, teachers could gain valuable insights into their students' learning habits. Academic performance of students and other useful information can be analyzed with the help of educational data mining. Model training consists of three primary steps: data preprocessing, feature selection, and training the model. To eliminate unwanted problems like noise and redundant attributes, data preparation is necessary. By prioritizing which features to calculate, the mRMR algorithm lowers calculation costs. Feature selection plays a crucial role in training A-CNN-BiLSTM models. The suggested approach routinely outperforms BiLSTM and CNN, two state-of-the-art algorithms.

A Novel Approach for Machine Reading Comprehension using BERT-based Large Language Models
subject: ALBERT; DistilBERT; Longformer; Machine Reading Comprehension; Span Extraction; Transformers
description: Teaching machines to learn the information from the natural language documents remains an arduous task because it involves natural language understanding of contexts, excerpting the meaningful insights, and deliver the answer to the questions. Machine Reading Comprehension (MRC) tasks can identify and understand the content from the natural language documents by asking the model to answer questions. The model can extract the answer from the given context or other external repositories. This article proposes a novel Context Minimization method for MRC Span Extraction tasks to improve the accuracy of the models. The Context Minimization method constitutes two subprocedures, Context Reduction and Sentence Aggregation. The proposed model reduced the context with the most relevant sequences for answering by estimating the sentence embedding between the question and the sequences involved in the context. The Context Reduction facilitates the model to retrieve the answer efficiently from the minimal context. The Sentence Aggregation improves the quality of answers by aggregating the most relevant shreds of evidence from the context. Both methods have been developed from the two notable observations from the empirical analysis of existing models. First, the models with minimal context with efficient masking can improve the accuracy and the second is the issue with the scatted sequences on the context that may lead to partial or incomplete answering. The Context Minimization method with Fine-Tuned BERT model compared with the ALBERT, DistilBERT, and Longformer models and the experiments with these models have shown significant improvement in results. 2024 IEEE.

subject: deep learning; Feature extraction; Human monitoring; Malpractice detection; YOLO
description: Various institutions administer tests at designated examination locations, chosen third-party and approved centers, and have established standards for installing CCTV cameras and conducting frisking under the supervision of designated personnel. Some institutions are using online proctoring, which enables students to take exams from any location. In all of the aforementioned scenarios, human monitoring is conducted, and maintaining a high level of vigilance may be challenging due to administrative oversight or intentional allowance of malpractice for personal gain. The malpractice detection may be attributed to acts like as plagiarism, unauthorized sharing of papers, and non-verbal communication. The study is conducted by capturing the dataset in the classroom of Christ University. The proposed approach is based on the YOLO framework. The movies are processed in real time to identify hand rotation, paper extraction, and classify the motion. The accuracy for the Head_right class is significantly higher than that of the Head_left class. The system is implemented using the programming language Python and has the potential for future expansion to provide real-time monitoring. 2024 IEEE.

Design and Simulation of 6.2m Wide-Field Telescope for Spectroscopic Survey
subject: Active Optics; Segmented Mirror Telescope; Spectroscopy; Survey; Wide Field
description: The upcoming large astronomical telescopes are trending towards the Segmented Primary Mirror due to technological advancements & manufacturing feasibility. We have designed a wide-field optical IR spectroscopic survey telescope that can deliver spectra of several millions of astronomical sources. The baseline design of this telescope is a 6.2 m segmented primary mirror with hexagonal mirror segments of 1.44m size, intersegment Edge sensors, and soft positioning actuators. The telescope is designed to provide a 2.5deg FOV achieved through a system of wide field corrector lenses with a design residual ~0.2". Also, it delivers an f/3.61 beam suitable for directly feeding optical fibres. A mechanical concept of the telescope is designed with a truss-based mirror cell to support the segmented primary mirror and keep the deformation to a minimum. As the primary mirror is segmented, the deformation due to different disturbances like wind, vibration and thermal effects must be corrected to a nanometer accuracy to make it act like a monolithic primary mirror. This is achieved through an active control system using three actuators and six inter-segment edge sensors. A simulation tool, codeSMT, is built based on the state-space model of a soft actuator with Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) capability to incorporate dynamic wind disturbance from the IAO Hanle site and vibration effects. A detailed error multiplier analysis is performed numerically using this tool and is in good agreement with analytical calculations. A parameter sensitivity analysis is performed to fine-tune the primary mirror control system variables. This paper presents the Optical, Mechanical and Active Control system design approach of a 6.2m wide-field telescope currently under conceptual design. 2024 SPIE.

Enhanced Multi-Model Approach for Motion and Violence Detection using Deep Learning Methods Using Open World Video Game Dataset
subject: 3DCNN; Attention Mechanism; Deep Learning; IoT; MobilenetSSD; YOLOv8
description: For today's environment, it is extremely important to understand hostility and motion in a variety of contexts, particularly where accidents are concerned. There's also a high safety risk in public places if there is no proper identification of suspicious activities that occur fast and cannot be accurately observed through traditional surveillance systems that rely on constant human monitoring. Although deep learning algorithms have proven useful for detecting anomalies such as fraud recently, there has been little research on real-time crime detection because of issues related privacy when using live data sets. To tackle the key problem of motion and violence detection with current deep learning methods, this work exploits the Open World Game Dataset which provides realistic activities. The reliance on only one technique undermined the previous models' accuracy while this study comes up with various models to raise the detection precision and real-time processing capability. This work applies MobileNet SSD, YOLOv8 (You Only Look Once), and SSD (Single Shot MultiBox Detector) techniques to create a more accurate movement detection system. To identify violent or illegal behavior from videos, 3D convolutional neural networks (3DCNN) will be used alongside attention approaches.

Industry Internet of Things (IIoT) Adoption Pressures in SME OEMs
subject: End-user Pull; Environmental Attitude; IIoT adoption; Institutional Pressure; Mediation Analysis; SME OEMs; Structural Equation Modeling
description: Small and Medium Original Equipment Manufacturers (SME OEMs) face challenges in IIoT adoption due to a lack of technical expertise, additional costs, and preferences of the end-users and significant institutional pressures. This research investigates the influence of Environmental Attitude on the Adoption Intention of Industry Internet of Things (IIoT) technologies among Small and Medium Enterprises and Original Equipment Manufacturers (SME-OEMs). This research analyses the effects of End-user Pull and Institutional Pressure in this relationship. A survey of 263 SME OEMs from 11 industrial sectors across 67 cities was conducted using purposive sampling. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) was used to analyze data, assessing direct and indirect effects. Results show a significant positive relationship between Environmental Attitude and IIoT Adoption Intention. Mediation analysis reveals significant indirect effects through End-user Pull and Institutional Pressure, with complete mediation as the direct effect becomes insignificant. Findings highlight the crucial role of environmental attitude in shaping IIoT adoption intentions among SMEs. A positive environmental attitude drives SMEs to explore IIoT benefits. End-user Pull and Institutional Pressure are key mediators in this process. These insights are valuable for industry stakeholders, policymakers, and SMEs aiming to promote IIoT adoption. Fostering a positive environmental attitude and leveraging End-user Pull and Institutional Pressure can facilitate IIoT adoption. Policymakers can create initiatives to raise environmental awareness and encourage sustainable practices through IIoT. Industry players can form strategic partnerships to support SME OEMs in IIoT adoption. 2024 IEEE.

Fire Resistance of Concrete with Partial Replacement of Ceramic Waste and Carbon Fiber as Additives
subject: Carbon fiber; Ceramic waste; Fire resistance; Superplasticizer
description: One of the primary hazards that causes catastrophic damage to properties and peoples lives is fire. Although ceramic garbage is deposited on the land, it is a non-biodegradable waste that pollutes the environment. This study is based on the use of industrial waste products such as ceramic sanitary waste to improve the mechanical qualities of concrete that have been exposed to elevated temperatures. An experimental investigation was carried out on cubes, cylinders, and beams to assess compressive strength, split tensile strength, and flexural strength with fractional replacement of fine aggregates with 10, 20, and 30% of ceramic waste and 0, 1, and 2% of carbon fibers as additives at normal and elevated temperature as per ASTM code recommendations and the results shown as a significant improvement. The strength of M30 grade concrete with partial replacement of fine aggregate with ceramic waste up to 30% and carbon additives up to 2% shows an improvement of compressive strength by 17.56% than conventional concrete. It is also observed that normal M30 grade concrete loses its strength by 49.6% when it is exposed to 600C and with fractional replacement of fine aggregate by ceramic waste by up to 30% and carbon additives by up to 2% shows the loss of strength is decreased up to 22.67%. It shows that it is the probable substitute solution for the secure discarding of Ceramic waste. The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd. 2024.
