Enter the Backrooms of Tattva Bhoomi
No full textThis paper outlines the development process of Tattva Bhoomi, a game-based learning application developed by the authors and designed to teach chemistry concepts to middle school students in India. The paper begins with an overview of the design considerations that guided the game’s development. Additionally, the paper elaborates on the iterative creation of prototypes at different phases and how gradual improvements were integrated. After providing a walkthrough of the entire gameplay, Tattva Bhoomi’s potential is assessed using the criteria established by Solanki and Mathew (2021) for the efficient development of educational and multimedia games

Exploring Rawlsian fairness for k-means clustering
No full textWe conduct an exploratory study that looks at incorporating John Rawls' ideas on fairness into existing unsupervised machine learning algorithms. Our focus is on the task of clustering, specifically the k-means clustering algorithm. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first work that uses Rawlsian ideas in clustering. Towards this, we attempt to develop a postprocessing technique i.e., one that operates on the cluster assignment generated by the standard k-means clustering algorithm. Our technique perturbs this assignment over a number of iterations to make it fairer according to Rawls' difference principle while minimally affecting the overall utility. As the first step, we consider two simple perturbation operators -- R1 and R2 -- that reassign examples in a given cluster assignment to new clusters; R1 assigning a single example to a new cluster, and R2 a pair of examples to new clusters. Our experiments on a sample of the Adult dataset demonstrate that both operators make meaningful perturbations in the cluster assignment towards incorporating Rawls' difference principle, with R2 being more efficient than R1 in terms of the number of iterations. However, we observe that there is still a need to design operators that make significantly better perturbations. Nevertheless, both operators provide good baselines for designing and comparing any future operator, and we hope our findings would aid future work in this direction

No full textFactors Influencing the Exterior Design of Autonomous Passenger Drones: Literature Review
No full textElectric vertical take-off and landing aircraft (eVTOLs) have been accessed on various configurations over the past decade. This literature review deals with the issue of determining the appropriate design for an Autonomous Passenger Drone (APD). APDs have been compared with VTOLs on their pros and cons. The authors analysed aerodynamics and propulsion systems of multiple APDs. Further, the comparative analysis aids in designing the best framework for the exterior form of APDs based on human capacity, flying technology, fuel type, travel distance, door type, size, material, safety, cost, etc. © The Author(s), 2022
