Recently, during the COVID-19 pandemic, distance education became mainstream. Many students were not prepared for this situation—they lacked equipment or even connected to Internet. Schools and government institutions had react quickly allow learn remotely. They provide with (e.g., computers, tablets, goggles) but also them access Internet other necessary tools. On hand, teachers trying adopt new technologies in teaching process enable more interactivity, mitigate feelings of isolation disconnection, enhance student engagement. New technologies, including Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented (AR), Mixed (MR), Extended (XR, so-called Metaverse), Big Data, Blockchain, Free Space Optics (FSO) changed learning, teaching, assessing. Despite that, some tools implemented fast, pandemic was trigger process; most these will be used further, classroom both schools universities. This paper presents a concise review emerging applied education. The main emphasis placed on their influence efficiency learning psychological impact users. It turned out that satisfied remote while case undergraduate children high-school students, parents very often expressed dissatisfaction. limitation availability is related stable computer equipment, which rarity. In current social context, obtained results provided valuable insights into factors affecting acceptance Finally, suggests research direction development effective techniques.

A Dual-Direction Attention Mixed Feature Network for Facial Expression Recognition

Electronics, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 12(17), С. 3595 - 3595

Опубликована: Авг. 25, 2023

In recent years, facial expression recognition (FER) has garnered significant attention within the realm of computer vision research. This paper presents an innovative network called Dual-Direction Attention Mixed Feature Network (DDAMFN) specifically designed for FER, boasting both robustness and lightweight characteristics. The architecture comprises two primary components: (MFN) serving as backbone, (DDAN) functioning head. To enhance network’s capability in MFN, resilient features are extracted by utilizing mixed-size kernels. Additionally, a new (DDA) head that generates maps orientations is proposed, enabling model to capture long-range dependencies effectively. further improve accuracy, novel loss mechanism DDAN introduced with different heads focusing on distinct areas input. Experimental evaluations several widely used public datasets, including AffectNet, RAF-DB, FERPlus, demonstrate superiority DDAMFN compared other existing models, which establishes state-of-the-art field FER.
