18 December 2020

Dina Tarek will defend her thesis on Friday, December 18th at 2:30 PM. This thesis is jointly supervised with Egypt. Titre : Development of Spectrum Sharing Protocol for Cognitive Radio Internet of Things Jury: Abstract: Internet of Things (IoT) presents a new life style by developing smart homes, smart grids, smart city, smart transportation … etc., so IoT is developing rapidly. However recent researches focus on developing the IoT applications disregarding the IoT spectrum scarcity problem facing it. Integrating Internet of Things (IoT) technology and Cognitive Radio Networks (CRNs), forming Cognitive Radio Internet of Things (CRIoTs), is an economical solution for overcoming the IoT spectrum scarcity. The aim of this thesis is to solve the problem of spectrum sharing for CRIoT; the work in thesis is presented in three parts. Our first contribution is to propose two new protocols to solve the problem of channel status prediction for interweave CRNs. Both protocols uses Hidden Markov Model (HMM). In the training stage of both protocols, the available data are trained to produce two HMM models, an idle HMM model and a busy one. Both models are used together to produce the 2-model HMM. In the prediction stage the first protocol uses Bayes theorem and the 2-model HMM, while the Plus d'infos

Serial Speakers – Collection of Annotated TV Serials

4 December 2020

This dataset consists of 3 TV series with manual annotations: All three files are in .json format and contain TV Series annotated data. Each TV Series is defined by its name, A TV Series contains seasons, defined by their ids. Every season is made of episodes, defined by their ids, titles, duration and fps. Each episode contains two basic kinds of data: scenes and speech segments. Scenes are defined by starting points and are made of shots (Seasons 1 only).A shot is defined by starting and ending positions, and recurring shot ids. The speech segments are defined by their starting and ending points; textual content (here encrypted for copyright reasons); speaker; possible interlocutors.
