Distributed human computation framework for linked data co-reference resolution
No full textDistributed Human Computation (DHC) is a technique used to solve computational problems by incorporating the collaborative effort of a large number of humans. It is also a solution to AI-complete problems such as natural language processing. The Semantic Web with its root in AI is envisioned to be a decentralised world-wide information space for sharing machine-readable data with minimal integration costs. There are many research problems in the Semantic Web that are considered as AI-complete problems. An example is co-reference resolution, which involves determining whether different URIs refer to the same entity. This is considered to be a significant hurdle to overcome in the realisation of large-scale Semantic Web applications. In this paper, we propose a framework for building a DHC system on top of the Linked Data Cloud to solve various computational problems. To demonstrate the concept, we are focusing on handling the co-reference resolution in the Semantic Web when integrating distributed datasets. The traditional way to solve this problem is to design machine-learning algorithms. However, they are often computationally expensive, error-prone and do not scale. We designed a DHC system named iamResearcher, which solves the scientific publication author identity co-reference problem when integrating distributed bibliographic datasets. In our system, we aggregated 6 million bibliographic data from various publication repositories. Users can sign up to the system to audit and align their own publications, thus solving the co-reference problem in a distributed manner. The aggregated results are published to the Linked Data Cloud
Rueh Rong - Rong
No full textRueh Rong- Rong merupakan karya tari yang berpijak dari Upacara Adat Belian khas Kabupaten Penajam Paser Utara. Kata Rueh memiliki arti dua dalam bahasa dayak Lawangan yang menunjukan bahwa ada alam atas dan bahwa lalu ada penguasa atas dan penguasa bawah sedangkan kata Rong- Rong terinspirasi dari suara gelang yang mengehasilkan suara seperti Rong, Rong berarti juga Gelang. Kepercayaan suku dayak ialah animism yang menurut pandangan keagamaan itu semua makhluk hidup maupun mati mempunyai jiwa. Masyarakat Kabupaten Penajam Paser Utara sampai saat ini masih melakukan ritual persembahan terhadap kedua penguasa pencipta dan pengganggu atau atas dan bawah dengan cara melakukan upacara adat Belian. Kata Belian secara etimologi Lietn: tuing atau betuhing yang sebenarnya mengandung arti berpantang atau tabu. Karya ini menitik beratkan pada pemimpin upacara adat belian yang berjenis kelamin wanita dalam upacara adat belian yang ditunjukan untuk keselamatan masyarakat di daerah Penajam Paser Utara, Kalimantan Timur. Dalam Upacara adat belian ada satu benda yang menjadi syarat utama adanya yaitu Gelang (Gitang/ Rong). Pada karya tari Rueh Rong- Rongmenggunakan delapan penari wanita. Penyajian iringan musik ditabuh secara langsung dengan menggunakan instrumen yang mengutamakan instrumen asli Kalimantan.

Zhong-Yong as dynamic balancing between Yin-Yang opposites
No full textPurposeThe purpose of this paper is to comment on Peter Ping Li’s understanding of Zhong-Yong balancing, presented in his article titled “Global implications of the indigenous epistemological system from the East: How to apply Yin-Yang balancing to paradox management.” Seeing his understanding of Zhong-Yong balancing being incorrect and incomplete, the author proposes an alternative perspective on Zhong-Yong as dynamic balancing between Yin-Yang opposites.Design/methodology/approachThe author first explain why Peter P. Li’s “asymmetry” and “superiority” arguments are flawed by referring to the original text of the classical book of Zhong-Yong (中庸) and a comparison between Zhong-Yong and Aristotle’s doctrine of the mean. The author then propose an alternative approach to Zhong-Yong balancing that is embedded in the original text Zhong-Yong but somehow has been neglected by many Chinese scholars. The author concludes the commentary by unifying the two alternative approaches to Zhong-Yong balancing under the inclusion-selection-promotion-transition (ISPT) framework of Zhong-Yong balancing.FindingsThere are three main findings. First, as the original text of Zhong-Yong does not prescribe asymmetry, Peter P. Li’s notion of “Yin-Yang balancing” is ironically unbalanced or anti-Zhong-Yong due to his emphasis on asymmetry to the exclusion of symmetry. Second, due to the equivalency between Zhong-Yong and Aristotle’s doctrine of the mean, Peter P. Li’s assertion that “Yin-Yang balancing” is superior as a solution to paradox management is flawed. Third, his “Yin-Yang balancing” solution is only (the less sophisticated) one of two alternative approaches to Zhong-Yong balancing, i.e., ratio-based combination of Yin-Yang opposites. What Peter P.

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to comment on Peter Ping Li’s understanding of Zhong-Yong balancing, presented in his article titled “Global implications of the indigenous epistemological system from the East: How to apply Yin-Yang balancing to paradox management.” Seeing his understanding of Zhong-Yong balancing being incorrect and incomplete, the author proposes an alternative perspective on Zhong-Yong as dynamic balancing between Yin-Yang opposites.
Design/methodology/approach
The author first explain why Peter P. Li’s “asymmetry” and “superiority” arguments are flawed by referring to the original text of the classical book of Zhong-Yong (中庸) and a comparison between Zhong-Yong and Aristotle’s doctrine of the mean. The author then propose an alternative approach to Zhong-Yong balancing that is embedded in the original text Zhong-Yong but somehow has been neglected by many Chinese scholars. The author concludes the commentary by unifying the two alternative approaches to Zhong-Yong balancing under the inclusion-selection-promotion-transition (ISPT) framework of Zhong-Yong balancing.
Findings
There are three main findings. First, as the original text of Zhong-Yong does not prescribe asymmetry, Peter P. Li’s notion of “Yin-Yang balancing” is ironically unbalanced or anti-Zhong-Yong due to his emphasis on asymmetry to the exclusion of symmetry. Second, due to the equivalency between Zhong-Yong and Aristotle’s doctrine of the mean, Peter P. Li’s assertion that “Yin-Yang balancing” is superior as a solution to paradox management is flawed. Third, his “Yin-Yang balancing” solution is only (the less sophisticated) one of two alternative approaches to Zhong-Yong balancing, i.e., ratio-based combination of Yin-Yang opposites. What Peter P. Li and many other Chinese have neglected is another approach to Zhong-Yong that is embedded in the original text of Zhong-Yong, which I call “analysis plus synthesis.”
Research limitations/implications
As it is a commentary there are no specific limitations except for what can be covered in the space available.
Practical implications
The “analysis plus synthesis” approach to Zhong-Yong can be adopted by practitioners who are demanded to balance between opposite forces in daily life and work.
Social implications
The rejection of the “Yin-Yang balancing being superior” assertion facilitates reduction of friction and non-cooperation between intellectual traditions.
Originality/value
This commentary contributes to the “West meets East” discourse by debunking Peter P. Li’s assertion that Yin-Yang balancing is superior as a solution to paradox management and his prescription that balancing between Yin-Yang opposites must be asymmetric. It also contributes to the Chinese indigenous management research by identifying a largely neglected approach to Zhong-Yong balancing (i.e. “analysis plus synthesis”) that is alternative to the commonly understood ratio-based combination approach (e.g. “Yin-Yang balancing”). In addition, it contributes to the management literature by proposing the ISPT framework of Zhong-Yong balancing.

Error probability and capacity analysis of generalised pre-coding aided spatial modulation
No full textThe recently proposed multiple input multiple output (MIMO) transmission scheme termed as generalized pre-coding aided spatial modulation (GPSM) is analyzed, where the key idea is that a particular subset of receive antennas is activated and the specific activation pattern itself conveys useful implicit information. We provide the upper bound of both the symbol error ratio (SER) and bit error ratio (BER) expression of the GPSM scheme of a low-complexity decoupled detector. Furthermore, the corresponding discrete-input continuous-output memoryless channel (DCMC) capacity as well as the achievable rate is quantified. Our analytical SER and BER upper bound expressions are confirmed to be tight by our numerical results. We also show that our GPSM scheme constitutes a flexible MIMO arrangement and there is always a beneficial configuration for our GPSM scheme that offers the same bandwidth efficiency as that of its conventional MIMO counterpart at a lower signal to noise ratio (SNR) per bit
Generalised pre-coding aided spatial modulation
No full textA new Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) transmission scheme termed as Generalised Pre-coding aided Spatial Modulation (GPSM) is proposed, where the key idea is that a particular subset of receive antennas is activated and the activation pattern itself conveys useful information. This is in contrast to the previously proposed Spatial Modulation (SM) schemes, which operated by activating a specific subset of transmit antennas. We provide both analytical and numerical results characterizing the GPSM scheme proposed for both conventional as well as for large-dimensional MIMO configurations subject to both realistic imperfect Channel State Information at the Transmitter (CSIT) and to the low-rank approximation invoked for large-dimensional MIMO configurations. We also design a so-called reinforcement matrix for attaining substantial performance improvements for our proposed GPSM scheme. Our investigations show that the GPSM scheme constitutes a flexible alternative to the state-of-the-art MIMO transmission schemes, especially because it is capable of achieving a high throughput. Moreover, the benefits of mapping information to the spatial domain rather than relying on conventional modulation has substantial benefits in the medium to high Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) region. Quantitatively, GPSM is capable of supporting the same throughput as the conventional full-multiplexing gain based MIMO arrangements at an SNR gain of about 1dB at the same receiver complexity. Furthermore, the reinforcement matrix aided GPSM scheme attains a further 3-4dB performance improvement as compared to the conventional GPSM scheme

Energy pattern aided simultaneous wireless information and power transfer
No full textIn echoing Varshney's seminal concept of jointly transmitting information and energy, we propose the concept of an energy pattern aided Simultaneous Wireless Information and Power Transfer (SWIPT) system, where in addition to power transfer, information is conveyed both by the specific Receive Antenna (RA) indices to which the power is delivered as well as by the particular intensity of the power assigned to that particular RA pattern. By embedding information into energy patterns rather than imposing it by modulating classic radio waveforms, our proposed solution is capable of operating both in an integrated receiver mode and in a power-split mode, while relying on a low-complexity two-stage non-coherent detection algorithm. Both our analysis and simulations show that our energy pattern aided SWIPT system exhibits a beneficial immunity to any potential performance degradation imposed by power-conversion. Moreover, the achievable rate versus power conversion trade-off bounds are characterized, demonstrating that our proposed energy pattern aided SWIPT system leads to a beneficial wireless information and power transfer convergence
