The paper discusses the terminology behind batik crafting and showed the aspects of self-similarity in its ornaments. Even though a product of batik cannot be reduced merely into its decorative properties, it is shown that computation can capture some interesting aspects in the batik-making ornamentation. There are three methods that can be exploited to the generative batik, i.e.: using fractal...

Deep neural networks, like many other machine learning models, have recently been shown to lack robustness against adversarially crafted inputs. These inputs are derived from regular inputs by minor yet carefully selected perturbations that deceive machine learning models into desired misclassifications. Existing work in this emerging field was largely specific to the domain of image classifica...

This article lays out two broad criteria for crafting a particular brain drain policy at the state level. The first, which we are calling “supply or demand,” asks whether a state experiencing brain drain is below average in high-tech labor demand or above average in high-tech labor supply (the latter concept measured by university enrollments). It is argued that the answer to this question matt...

Machine learning systems based on deep neural networks, being able to produce state-of-the-art results on various perception tasks, have gained mainstream adoption in many applications. However, they are shown to be vulnerable to adversarial example attack, which generates malicious output by adding slight perturbations to the input. Previous adversarial example crafting methods, however, use s...

Motivated by the growing importance of data quality in data-intensive, global business environments and by burgeoning data quality activities, this study builds a conceptual model of data quality problem solving. The study analyzes data quality activities at five organizations via a five-year longitudinal study. The study finds that experienced practitioners solve data quality problems by refle...

When I first set out on a path to becoming a cell biologist, I would have never imagined that it would lead to a career in molecular animation. I had always thought I would follow a more traditional route. What happened? In this essay, I will describe the experiences that led to my decision to forge a career as an academic molecular animator, and how my work has evolved over the years. I will a...

Scenarios are effective conceptual tools for requirements elicitation, analysis, and evaluation. However, choosing salient scenarios is one of the major problems of scenario-based web design. On one hand, due to the partiality of scenarios, it is often difficult to envision up-front all the scenarios necessary to cover every interaction capability to be designed for the site. On the other hand,...

prosocs agents are software agents that are built according to the kgp model of agency. kgp is used as a model for the mind of the agent, so that the agent can act autonomously using a collection of logic theories, providing the mind’s reasoning functionalities. The behaviour of the agent is controlled by a cycle theory that specifies the agent’s preferred patterns of operation. The implementat...

The aim of this study is to focus on the effect self-leadership behaviors employee performance and mediating role job crafting in effect. scope research consists 298 randomly selected employees working banks operating Azerbaijan. In study, 'Self-Leadership Scale', 'Employee Performance Scale' 'Job Crafting developed by different researchers were used after obtaining certain permissions re-valid...
