    Task-Guided and Semantic-Aware Ranking for Academic Author-Paper Correlation Inference

    No full text
    We study the problem of author-paper correlation inference in big scholarly data, which is to effectively infer potential correlated works for researchers using historical records. Unlike supervised learning algorithms that predict relevance score of author-paper pair via time and memory consuming feature engineering, network embedding methods automatically learn nodes' representations that can be further used to infer author-paper correlation. However, most current models suffer from two limitations: (1) they produce general purpose embeddings that are independent of the specific task; (2) they are usually based on network structure but out of content semantic awareness. To address these drawbacks, we propose a task-guided and semantic-aware ranking model. First, the historical interactions among all correlated author-paper pairs are formulated as a pairwise ranking loss. Next, the paper's semantic embedding encoded by gated recurrent neural network, together with the author's latent feature is used to score each author-paper pair in ranking loss. Finally, a heterogeneous relations integrative learning module is designed to further augment the model. The evaluation results of extensive experiments on the well known AMiner dataset demonstrate that the proposed model reaches significant better performance, comparing to a number of baselines.We would like to thank Yuxiao Dong for suggestions.

    This research is aimed to identify and to reveal a hikayat as classic travel literature of Indonesia by the travel writing theory of Carl Thompson. To gain those purposes, this research used literary criticism and descriptive-analytic methods. The object of this study is Kisah Pelayaran Abdullah ke Mekah by Abdullah bin Abdul Kadir Munsyi  (1854), focusing on the six elements of travel writing by Carl Thompson’s approach based on the hikayat. This study shows that the hikayat contains six elements of travel writing. Those are self, other, movement, space, encounter, and writing. Abdullah as a sailor puts himself in his hikayat as the main character by using “sahaya” and “aku” to articulate “self” in his hikayat. The “self” during travel met new and foreign things that the author had never seen before. He drew and expressed his point of view, feeling, and observation of all the encounters that he had met during sailing in to hikayat.Keywords: Carl Thompson, hikayat, travel writin

    Dynamic augmentation of SCORM pre-authored course materials with adaptive links to supplementary resources

    No full text
    In a SCORM compliant courseware, content and the pedagogic approach to be taken are predefined by the course author. As a consequence, users are unable to learn according to their preferences, and implicitly they will all encounter the same learning experience. Recent attempts to personalise learning in SCORM often resulted in either modifying or substituting SCORM specification elements. Nonetheless, SCORM is a widely-used solution to interoperability problems. For this reason, this work focuses on supplementing SCORM rather than redefining it. This is accomplished by dynamically associating each pre-authored learning material in a SCORM package with adaptive links to relevant supplementary resources upon delivery. As a result, we have developed a Personalised Link Service (PLS) to deliver these links into user’s SCORM-compliant learning environment. In this paper, we present the design of a PLS authoring architecture which enables the automatic generation of a concept map from a SCORM package and consequently links to alternative learning resources, and a PLS run-time service oriented architecture which delivers these alternative resources, alongside the SCORM defined resources, according to a user model. We demonstrate the feasibility of our architecture by implementing a service to support a simple notion of a user model (Preferred Learning style)

    Identifikasi Tokoh Abdullah bin Saba’ Dalam Literatur Sunni dan Syi’ah

    This paper tries to explain the history of Abdullah bin Saba 'which was perpetuated by the scholars because of its enormous role in the dark history of the people in the early days of Islam, in this case it has been written by classical Ulama in the Chronicles Sunni, such as Imam at Tabari in inbook Tarikhhisscholars, clerics and others. so also in the books of Shiite scholars. However, there are those who doubt the path of the transmission because only from one lane, Abdullah bin Saba is 'doubtful and declares that Abdullah bin Saba' is a prominent figure. It starts from the path of transmission which is in the book of Chronicles, only one path. Therefore, the author tries to examine the path of transmission in the book of the Date. This study uses the content analysis method. As a source of data used in the study of the truth of Abdulllah bin Saba 'figure, namely through the perspective of the Sunni and Shia books. The author tries to explain the results of research that shows that the figure of Abdullah bin Saba 'the fact of his existence and information obtained from Sunni and Shia data sources has similarities about the figure

    u çalışma, Kuyucaklı Abdullah b. Muhammed el-Aydînî’nin Mu‘rib-i ‘Avâmil-i Cedîde adlı eserinin tahkîki, edisyon kritiğidir. Kuyucaklı Abdullah Efendi ismiyle bilinen müellif, XVII. yüzyılın sonları, XVIII. yüzyılın başlarında Aydın Vilâyetine bağlı Kuyucak kasabasında yaşamış bir âlimdir. Arap dili gramerine dair yedi Arapça eser kaleme almıştır. Tahkikini yaptığımız bu eserde müellif, büyük Osmanlı bilgini İmam Birgivî’nin Arap dili gramerinin temel kurallarını anlattığı el-‘Avâmil adlı meşhur eserin gramer tahlilini yapmakta, bir anlamda teorik kuralları pratiğe dökmektedir. Yapılan bu çalışmayla eser tanıtılmış, müellif nüshasına en yakın nüsha ortaya konularak istifadeye hazır hale getirilmiş ve müellifin bir dilci olarak özellikleri tespit edilmiştir. THE TEXTUAL CRITICISM OF THE BOOK NAMED MURİB-İ AVAMİL-İ CEDİDE BY KUYUCAKLI ABDULLAH b. MUHAMMED el-AYDİNİ This Project is the textual criticism of Kuyucaklı Abdullah b. Muhammed el-Aydıni’s named Murib-i Avamil-i Cedide. As known author who is called Kuyucaklı Abdullah Efendi is a scholar lived in Kuyucak region bounded to Aydın. He wrote seven Arabic Works on the grammar of arabic language.In this book which we have investigated, the author analyses the grammar side of famous book named el-‘Avâmil that is written in it, the basic rules of Arabic language by Great Otoman Scholar Imam Birgivî. On the other side he converts the therotical rules into pratical ones.

    Performance Assessment of Various PV Module Types under Desert Conditions through Device Simulations and Outdoor Measurements

    The Middle East region is considered as one the most promising areas for PV deployment due to its vast solar potential. Despite this fact, successful deployment of PV systems in the region is challenging due to local weather conditions. Dust storms are very frequent in these areas, which not only cause heavy soiling on PV module surface but may also significantly affect the form and intensity of the solar spectrum due to airborne dust particles which scatter sunlight. In addition, the combination of high ambient temperatures and increased irradiance levels pose additional challenges in PV module performance and reliability. Therefore, in this work a customized device simulator is proposed aiming to provide accurate calculations of PV module energy yield and performance using local climate data including solar radiation spectrum and temperature measurements. Simulation data are validated with outdoor IV measurements on various types of commercial c-Si based PV modules including polycrystalline Si and bifacial PERC, located at KAUST University at the Western Region of Saudi Arabia.Seasonal performance variations of various solar cell technologies due to local spectrum variations are also investigated.The authors acknowledge the support of the Supercomputing Laboratory at King Abdullah University of Science & Technology (KAUST) in Thuwal, Saudi Arabia; the KAUST Economic development for their technical support and Saudi Aramco R&D Center - Carbon Management Division for their financial support through grant RGC#3893

    How to reach carbon emission targets with technology and public awareness

    Our best option in curbing greenhouse gas emissions is to include heavy carbon emitters in a viable, sustainable, transitional solution based on a versatile syngas-based circular carbon economy and to establish a universal carbon emissions metric rather than fighting an endless war of politics, policies, and empty promises.The author gratefully acknowledges funds from the King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST)
