Storie e protagonisti della matematica italiana
2013
20 anni fa – anzi qualcuno in più – avviava le sue pubblicazioni “Lettera Matematica PRISTEM”, espressione di un gruppo di ricerca della “Bocconi” cui aderiscono anche docenti e studiosi di altre Università. La “Lettera” ha rappresentato un tentativo coraggioso di svecchiare la comunicazione matematica, di renderla meno accademica e più giornalistica con l’uso delle immagini, del colore e di un linguaggio diretto. un tentativo di inserire la matematica nei più ampi processi che riguardano la scuola e la società. A distanza di 20 anni, i tre direttori della rivista sfogliano le sue annate per ricordare storie e personaggi (matematici e non) attorno a cui la “Lettera” è cresciuta e che hanno …
Salvi ed al sicuro: Singolarità di Vinge, crescita tecnologica, limiti di processo
2013
Nella suo saggio breve “Technological Singularity” (Vinge 2003), la rie- dizione in versione riveduta e corretta dell’originale (Vinge 1993), Vernon Vinge prospetta ai suoi lettori l’esistenza di un momento nella storia dell’umanità nel quale l’intelligenza delle macchine supererà quella degli umani, e ne descrive le possibili conseguenze; questa catarsi delle macchine dovrebbe verificarsi nell’arco dei prossimi venticinque anni, ed avere come più eclatante conseguenza la fine dell’era umana.
AIM: minds, morals, medicine
2011
Kazem Sadegh-Zadeh’s Handbook of Analytic Philosophy of Medicine does (among many other things) a wonderful job of introducing to the reader the idea of engaging soft computing theoretical foundations and techniques in dealing with clinical reasoning, diagnosis and representation in medical expert systems. Though massive and encyclopedic may it be, a good handbook must eschew the nitty-gritty details and the finest subtleties of implementation in order to give a cohesive and clear general view of the topic at hand. As an added bonus, this puts the interested reader in the right mindset: looking forward for a more technical analysis of what has just been hinted. Apart from revering Sadegh-Za…
Reflections on Technology and Human Sciences: rediscovering a common thread through the analysis of a few epistemological features of fuzziness
2013
A number of reasons, both historical and philosophical, has caused Technology and Human Sciences to be perceived as disjoint domains. In opposi- tion, we claim that there exists a strong methodological affinity between these apparently disconnected fields of knowledge. Our view is further corroborated by new hints from Information Sciences, in which new scientific concepts and tools such as fuzziness have emerged. Comparing the ways in which both Technology and Literature offer a model of reality we shall see that their approaches preserve a strong connection with the “description” of the pieces of reality they aim to model, against the Galileian hard sciences’ approach of making bold hypot…
On the Evaluation of Images Complexity: A Fuzzy Approach (revised and expanded)
2006
The inherently multidimensional problem of evaluating the complexity of an image is of a certain relevance in both computer sci- ence and cognitive psychology. Computer scientists usually analyze spa- tial dimensions, to deal with automatic vision problems, such as feature- extraction. Psychologists seem more interested in the temporal dimension of complexity, to explore attentional models. Is it possible, by merging both approaches, to define an more general index of visual complexity? We have defined a fuzzy mathematical model of visual complexity, using a specific entropy function; results obtained by applying this model to pictorial images have a strong correlation with ones from an exp…

Embryo of a Quantum Vocal Theory of Sound
2019
Concepts and formalism from acoustics are often used to exemplify quantum mechanics. Conversely, quantum mechanics could be used to achieve a new perspective on acoustics, as shown by Gabor studies. Here, we focus in particular on the study of human voice, considered as a probe to investigate the world of sounds. We present a theoretical framework that is based on observables of vocal production, and on some measurement apparati that can be used both for analysis and synthesis. In analogy to the description of spin states of a particle, the quantum-mechanical formalism is used to describe the relations between the fundamental states associated with phonetic labels such as phonation, turbule…
