Answer Distillation Network With Bi-Text-Image Attention for Medical Visual Question Answering by Hongfang Gong, Li Li

“…To fully utilize the candidate answer information from answer distillation network, we propose a bi-text-image attention fusion module composed of self-attention and guided attention to automatically fuse image features, question representations, and candidate answer information and achieve intra-modal and inter-modal semantic interaction. Extensive experiments validate the effectiveness of BTIA-AD Net. …”

Multilevel Attention and Multiscale Feature Fusion Network for Author Classification of Chinese Ink-Wash Paintings by Wei Jiang, Xianglian Meng, Ji Xi

“…Although a series of excellent network structures have been successful in the field of Chinese ink-wash painting classification, but most of them adopted the methods of only simple augmentation of the network structures and direct fusion of different scale features, which limit the network to further extract semantically rich and scale-invariant feature information, thus hindering the improvement of classification performance. …”

Changes in University Teacher’s Pedagogical Activity in the Context of Digitalization of Education by I. S. Batrakova, E. N. Glubokova, S. A. Pisareva, A. P. Tryapitsyna

“…The purpose of this article is to consider the changes in university teacher’s pedagogical activity in the conditions of a rapid transformation of higher education and propose a theoretical and empirical substantiation of the importance of teacher’s understanding of the value-semantic attitude to pedagogical activity, which is not limited only to mastering digital competencies, but consists in mastering pedagogical knowledge that allows you to critically analyze the productivity of modern educational strategies and methods.The conducted research was based on the methodology of post-non-classical science, which implies the widespread use of qualitative research methods that reflect the convergence of explanatory and interpretative research approaches, the use of representations, opinions, attitudes, and values of the research participants as full data.The article describes the results of studying the university teachers’ attitude to changes, the value orientations of the ongoing changes, as well as the main difficulties faced by university teachers in the context of digitalization of education – the design of educational and training programs, modern educational and methodological complex, the organization of productive self-directed work and communication with students in the educational process.The main directions of overcoming the identified difficulties are given – the construction of flexible curricula within the framework of the Federal State Educational Standard of Higher Education, the development of the digital educational environment of the university and updating the content of the professional development programs for teaching staff. …”

How Color Properties Can Be Used to Elicit Emotions in Video Games by Erik Geslin, Laurent Jégou, Danny Beaudoin

“…We have observed a correlation between the RGB additives color spaces, HSV, HSL, and HSI components of video game images, presented to n=85 participants, and the emotional statements expressed in terms of arousal and valence, recovered in a subjective semantic questionnaire. Our results show a significant correlation between luminance, saturation, lightness, and the emotions of joy, sadness, fear, and serenity experienced by participants viewing 24 video game images. …”
