The commissioning of the EduceLab infrastructure, funded through the National Science Foundation’s “Mid-Scale Infrastructure” program, represents a tremendous opportunity in operational capacity for Heritage Science problems in the central region of the United States. This overview explains the infrastructure and its intended use and capabilities.
The use of x-ray analysis and imaging for Heritage Science problems has traditionally been limited to systems engineered for other uses. This talk explains the design and operational goals of the FLEX instrument cluster in EduceLab, which targets custom and flexible configurations for imaging using x-ray in order to accommodate the analysis of a wide variety of Heritage Science problems.
The software tools and associated metadata that accompany the analysis of heritage material form a critical pathway for managing the analysis of data generated for projects that now depend on machine learning and other complex algorithmic approaches. This talk discusses the framework for doing scholarly work in a data-rich environment while maintaining high standards for visualization, peer...
This talk explains the computational environment to support the goals of the EduceLab Heritage Science ecosystem, including massive storage, internal and external access to data, mobile systems, instruments producing large streams of data, and computational cycles to support activities like machine learning algorithms running over massive datasets.
This talk focuses on an early prototype project with the Morgan M.910 manuscript representing the kind of projects that EduceLab will facilitate, showing the advances that await by applying x-ray imaging, micro-CT, and machine learning techniques to the analysis of ancient materials.
How can we turn back the clock on damaged, fragile manuscripts? X-ray CT allows us to see the detailed internal structure of scrolls and books, but alone does not reverse any of the damage that occurred. This talk discusses how we use machine learning to enhance the results of X-ray CT, restoring artifacts to their full original splendor by revealing otherwise invisible inks, virtually...
It is proposed in this presentation that a new authentic assessment approach to e-Portfolio may be realized in terms of such qualitative assessment method as Learning Analytics enhanced with text-mining technique in machine learning. Since the assessment in the educational paradigm of active learning cannot rely heavily on the way of the summative evaluation in the quantitative way, the key...
As the global population ages, economic conditions improve and the childcare environment improves, the views of young families on childcare and consumption have changed dramatically, with "family participation", "scientific childcare" and "personalised education" becoming the core concepts of family childcare. "Family participation", "scientific parenting" and "personalised education" have...
This study focuses on developing the application of advertising innovation in digital out-of-home by using the 5G positioning service. 5G includes a new standard for services around the geographic position of objects, with significant improvements on accuracy and other performance parameters. The services are often called 'positioning services,' unlike 'location services' used for earlier...
