In accordance with e-government initiatives, many ministries in Malaysia have engaged content to public using social media for better two-way communications. However, creating an online presence is not necessarily easy as digital content consumers are often bombarded with information and those that fail to capture information will be rendered uninteresting and irrelevant. This is imperative as for most part, users are in control of where they allocate attention and what they share. Using virality as a context, it is opined that information content that are well-designed will trigger specific information and propel the sharing of that information over the Internet. A study employing FB post categorization and sharing motivations survey was carried out in the context of Ministry of Health Malaysia Facebook page. The findings show that users are inclined towards Infographics with various sharing motivations. The results can be used by Malaysian ministries on how best to design and disseminate information for the benefit of the netizens on social media sites.

Search Engine-inspired Ranking Algorithm for Trading Networks

10.11591/ijeecs.v9.i3.pp812-818
Andri Mirzal
Ranking algorithms based on link structure of the network are well-known methods in web search engines to improve the quality of the searches. The most famous ones are PageRank and HITS. PageRank uses probability of random surfers to visit a page as the score of that page, and HITS instead of produces one score, proposes using two scores, authority and hub scores, where the authority scores describe the degree of popularity of pages and hub scores describe the quality of hyperlinks on pages. In this paper, we show the differences between WWW network and trading network, and use these differences to create a ranking algorithm for trading networks. We test our proposed method with international trading data from United Nations. The similarity measures between vectors of proposed algorithm and vector of standard measure give promising results.

Utilization of very high-resolution images becomes a new trend in forest management, particularly in the detection and identification of forest stand variables. This paper describes the use of mean-shift segmentation algorithm on unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) images to measure crown closure of nypa (Nypa fructicans) and gap. The 27 combinations of the parameter values such as spatial radius (hs), range radius (hr), and minimum region size (M). Gap detection and nypa crown closure measurements were performed using a hybrid between pixel-based (maximum likelihood classifier) and object-based approaches (segmentation).  For evaluation of the approach performance, the accuracy assessment was done by comparing object-based classification results (segmentation) and visual interpretation (ground check). The study found that the best combination of segmentation parameter was the combination of hs 10, hr 10 and M 50, with the overall accuracy of 76,6% and kappa accuracy of 55.7%.

Artificial Intelligence: Way Forward for India

10.11591/ijai.v7.i1.pp19-32
Sunil Kumar Srivastava
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is likely to transform the way we live and work. Due to its high potential, its adoption is being treated as the fourth industrial revolution. As with any major advancement in technology, it brings with it a spectrum of opportunities as well as challenges. On one hand, several applications have been developed or under development with potential to improve the quality of life significantly. As per a study, it is expected to double the annual economic growth rate of 12 developed countries by 2035. On the other hand, there is a possibility of loss of jobs. As per the available reports, the loss of jobs during the next 10-20 years is estimated to be 47% in the US, 35% in the UK, 49% in Japan, 40% in Australia, and 54% in the EU. In the era of globalization, no country can isolate itself from the impact of the advances in technology. However, the benefits can be maximized and losses can be minimized by putting necessary infrastructure and policy in place. Though several countries have decided their strategy for AI, India has not yet formulated its strategy. The report reviews the international as well as national scenario and suggests way forward for India.

Pankaj Kumar Sinha , Preetha Sharan
In signal processing, Filter is a device that removes the unwanted signals. In any electronic circuits, Filters are widely used in the fundamental hands on tool. The basic function of the filter is to selectively allow the desired signal to pass through and /or control the undesired signal based on the frequency. A signal processing filter satisfies a set of requirements which are realization and improvement of the filter. A filter system consists of an analog to digital converter is used to sample the input signal, traced by a microprocessor and some components such as memory to store the data and filter coefficients.  Filters can easily be designed to be “linear phase” and it is easy to implement. In this paper, the birecoder multiplier (BM) is designed in terms of VLSI design environment. The proposed multiplier is implemented by using VHDL language and Xilinx ISE for synthesis. The multiplier is mainly used for image processing applications as well as signal processing applications.
