A data science and machine learning approach to continuous analysis of Shakespeare's plays

The availability of quantitative text analysis methods has provided new ways of analyzing literature in a manner that was not available in the pre-information era. Here we apply comprehensive machine learning analysis to the work of William Shakespeare. The analysis shows clear changes in the style of writing over time, with the most significant changes in the sentence length, frequency of adjectives and adverbs, and the sentiments expressed in the text. Applying machine learning to make a stylometric prediction of the year of the play shows a Pearson correlation of 0.71 between the actual and predicted year, indicating that Shakespeare's writing style as reflected by the quantitative measurements changed over time. Additionally, it shows that the stylometrics of some of the plays is more similar to plays written either before or after the year they were written. For instance, Romeo and Juliet is dated 1596, but is more similar in stylometrics to plays written by Shakespeare after 1600. The source code for the analysis is available for free download.

The relationship between the epistemological beliefs, science learning approaches and scientific inquiry skills: a path analysis

ABSTRACT Research has shown significant relationships between students’ epistemological beliefs and their approaches to learning. This study aimed to investigate the relationships between the scientific epistemological beliefs, science learning approaches, and the scientific inquiry skills of undergraduate students who took science courses by expanding the findings of the studies in the literature. Participants were 437 undergraduate students studying in the departments of science courses in Turkey. The participants responded to the Epistemological Beliefs Scale, the Learning Approach Questionnaire, and the Scientific Inquiry Scale. The epistemological beliefs scale consisted of three dimensions: learning depends on effort, learning depends on skills, and a single truth. The learning approaches scale consisted of two dimensions: deep and surface approaches. Path analysis results showed that there are some important relationships between scientific epistemological beliefs and science learning approaches and scientific inquiry skills. Learning depending on an effort positively predicted scientific inquiry and a deep learning approach. Beliefs about the justification of scientific knowledge seemed to positively contribute to deep strategies. Learning depending on the skills was negatively predicted by scientific inquiry. The single truth was positively associated with the surface learning approach.

Matching science to reality: how to deploy a participant-driven digital brain health platform.

Advances in digital technologies for health research enable opportunities for digital phenotyping of individuals in research and clinical settings. Beyond providing opportunities for advanced data analytics with data science and machine learning approaches, digital technologies offer solutions to several of the existing barriers in research practice that have resulted in biased samples. A participant-driven, precision brain health monitoring digital platform has been introduced to two longitudinal cohort studies, the Boston University Alzheimer's Disease Research Center (BU ADRC) and the Bogalusa Heart Study (BHS). The platform was developed with prioritization of digital data in native format, multiple OS, validity of derived metrics, feasibility and usability. A platform including nine remote technologies and three staff-guided digital assessments has been introduced in the BU ADRC population, including a multimodal smartphone application also introduced to the BHS population. Participants select which technologies they would like to use and can manipulate their personal platform and schedule over time. Participants from the BU ADRC are using an average of 5.9 technologies to date, providing strong evidence for the usability of numerous digital technologies in older adult populations. Broad phenotyping of both cohorts is ongoing, with the collection of data spanning cognitive testing, sleep, physical activity, speech, motor activity, cardiovascular health, mood, gait, balance, and more. Several challenges in digital phenotyping implementation in the BU ADRC and the BHS have arisen, and the protocol has been revised and optimized to minimize participant burden while sustaining participant contact and support. The importance of digital data in its native format, near real-time data access, passive participant engagement, and availability of technologies across OS has been supported by the pattern of participant technology use and adherence across cohorts. The precision brain health monitoring platform will be iteratively adjusted and improved over time. The pragmatic study design enables multimodal digital phenotyping of distinct clinically characterized cohorts in both rural and urban U.S. settings.

Temporal visitation patterns of points of interest in cities on a planetary scale: a network science and machine learning approach

We aim to study the temporal patterns of activity in points of interest of cities around the world. In order to do so, we use the data provided by the online location-based social network Foursquare, where users make check-ins that indicate points of interest in the city. The data set comprises more than 90 million check-ins in 632 cities of 87 countries in 5 continents. We analyzed more than 11 million points of interest including all sorts of places: airports, restaurants, parks, hospitals, and many others. With this information, we obtained spatial and temporal patterns of activities for each city. We quantify similarities and differences of these patterns for all the cities involved and construct a network connecting pairs of cities. The links of this network indicate the similarity of temporal visitation patterns of points of interest between cities and is quantified with the Kullback-Leibler divergence between two distributions. Then, we obtained the community structure of this network and the geographic distribution of these communities worldwide. For comparison, we also use a Machine Learning algorithm—unsupervised agglomerative clustering—to obtain clusters or communities of cities with similar patterns. The main result is that both approaches give the same classification of five communities belonging to five different continents worldwide. This suggests that temporal patterns of activity can be universal, with some geographical, historical, and cultural variations, on a planetary scale.

Generating Flavor Molecules Using Scientific Machine Learning.

Flavor is an essential component in the development of numerous products in the market. The increasing consumption of processed and fast food and healthy packaged food has upraised the investment in new flavoring agents and consequently in molecules with flavoring properties. In this context, this work brings up a scientific machine learning (SciML) approach to address this product engineering need. SciML in computational chemistry has opened paths in the compound's property prediction without requiring synthesis. This work proposes a novel framework of deep generative models within this context to design new flavor molecules. Through the analysis and study of the molecules obtained from the generative model training, it was possible to conclude that even though the generative model designs the molecules through random sampling of actions, it can find molecules that are already used in the food industry, not necessarily as a flavoring agent, or in other industrial sectors. Hence, this corroborates the potential of the proposed methodology for the prospecting of molecules to be applied in the flavor industry.

A sensor-agnostic albedo retrieval method for realistic sea ice surfaces: model and validation

Abstract. A framework was established for remote sensing of sea ice albedo that integrates sea ice physics with high computational efficiency and that can be applied to optical sensors that measure appropriate radiance data. A scientific machine learning (SciML) approach was developed and trained on a large synthetic dataset (SD) constructed using a coupled atmosphere–surface radiative transfer model (RTM). The resulting RTM–SciML framework combines the RTM with a multi-layer artificial neural network SciML model. In contrast to the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) MCD43 albedo product, this framework does not depend on observations from multiple days and can be applied to single angular observations obtained under clear-sky conditions. Compared to the existing melt pond detection (MPD)-based approach for albedo retrieval, the RTM–SciML framework has the advantage of being applicable to a wide variety of cryosphere surfaces, both heterogeneous and homogeneous. Excellent agreement was found between the RTM–SciML albedo retrieval results and measurements collected from airplane campaigns. Assessment against pyranometer data (N=4144) yields RMSE = 0.094 for the shortwave albedo retrieval, while evaluation against albedometer data (N=1225) yields RMSE = 0.069, 0.143, and 0.085 for the broadband albedo in the visible, near-infrared, and shortwave spectral ranges, respectively.

Penerapan Pendekatan Saintifik pada Pembelajaran Tematik Terpadu di Kelas II Sekolah Dasar (Studi Literatur)

Writing this literature study is motivated by the low learning outcomes of students in elementary schools due to the less optimal application of the learning approach and the lack of visible application of the characteristics of integrated thematic learning. In the learning process the teacher still uses conventional teacher-centered teaching methods so that students become passive and the potential in students does not develop. This study aims to analyze the application of a scientific approach to integrated thematic learning in grade II elementary schools. The scientific approach is an approach in the learning process that is designed in such a way that students actively construct concepts, laws or principles through observing stages (to identify or find problems), formulate problems, propose or formulate hypotheses, collect data with various techniques, analyze data, draw conclusions and communicate the concepts, laws or principles found. The method of writing scientific papers is to use literature studies, first the researcher formulates a research problem, then continues by tracing existing and relevant research for analysis. The technique of collecting data using non-tests is by searching for accredited electronic journals through Google Scholar. By collecting 15 accredited journals that are relevant to the topic, then analyzed the extent to which the improvement of student learning outcomes with the application of a scientific approach in learning.

Rancangan Desain Pembelajaran Science, Technology, Enggineering and Mathematic untuk Meningkatkan Kemampuan Pemecahan Masalah Matematis Siswa

One of the mathematical abilities that must be mastered by students is the ability to solve mathematical problems. If students have good mathematical problem solving skills, students not only memorize the concepts that have been taught but can also be applied in everyday life and other disciplines. Therefore, it is important for a student to improve his mathematical problem solving abilities. But in learning, the teacher often gives questions that are routine which causes the students' mathematical problem solving ability to be low. When students are asked to work on non-routine questions, students find it difficult. Therefore, the authors designed a learning design that allows students to apply mathematical concepts to other disciplines and everyday life. The design of learning design chosen by the author is to use the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) learning approach which is expected to use the STEM approach to improve students' mathematical problem solving abilities.
