Creating Digital Musical Instruments With and for Children: Including Vocal Sketching as a Method for Engaging in Codesign
2020
International audience; A class of master of science students and a group of preschool children codesigned new digital musical instruments based on workshop interviews involving vocal sketching, a method for imitating and portraying sounds. The aim of the study was to explore how the students and children would approach vocal sketching as one of several design methods. The children described musical instruments to the students using vocal sketching and other modalities (verbal, drawing, gestures). The resulting instruments built by the students were showcased at the Swedish Museum of Performing Arts in Stockholm. Although all the children tried vocal sketching during preparatory tasks, few …
Tiešsaistes Klientu Segmentācija, Izmantojot Klasterizācijas Metodes
2021
Bakalaura darba mērķis ir izpētīt tiešsaistes klientu segmentāciju, lai tā palīdzētu pieņemt loģiskus lēmumus par efektīvu mārketinga un reklāmas resursu izmantošanu. Darbā tika izmantotas divas klasterizācijas metodes: K-Medoīdu (K-Medoids) klasterizācija, un K-Prototipu (K-Prototypes) klasterizācija. Metožu izvēle tiek pamatota ar pētītā uzdevuma raksturojumu. Darba gaitā tiek aprakstīti gan abu metožu teorētiskie aspekti, gan metodes tiek pielietotas praktiski (izmantojot programmu R) konkrēta uzdevuma risināšanai. Tika veikta iegūto rezultātu analīze un salīdzināšana. Bakalaura darbā tika arī paskaidrota klientu segmentācijas nozīme veiksmīgam uzņēmumam, kā arī tika aprakstīts interneta…
An Introduction: "to train and to be trained"
2020
The chapter describes the training model of "Experts in proximity violence and its two main features: 1. the identification of training goals capable of providing specific tools, methods and skills; 2. the creation of a training-course prototype capable of integrating the proposed objectives and the relevant contents in terms of professional spendability.
Ultimate Order Statistics-Based Prototype Reduction Schemes
2013
Published version of a chapter in the book: AI 2013: Advances in Artificial Intelligence. Also available from the publisher at: http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-03680-9_42 The objective of Prototype Reduction Schemes (PRSs) and Border Identification (BI) algorithms is to reduce the number of training vectors, while simultaneously attempting to guarantee that the classifier built on the reduced design set performs as well, or nearly as well, as the classifier built on the original design set. In this paper, we shall push the limit on the field of PRSs to see if we can obtain a classification accuracy comparable to the optimal, by condensing the information in the data set into a single tr…
“Anti-Bayesian” parametric pattern classification using order statistics criteria for some members of the exponential family
2013
This paper submits a comprehensive report of the use of order statistics (OS) for parametric pattern recognition (PR) for various distributions within the exponential family. Although the field of parametric PR has been thoroughly studied for over five decades, the use of the OS of the distributions to achieve this has not been reported. The pioneering work on using OS for classification was presented earlier for the uniform distribution and for some members of the exponential family, where it was shown that optimal PR can be achieved in a counter-intuitive manner, diametrically opposed to the Bayesian paradigm, i.e., by comparing the testing sample to a few samples distant from the mean. A…
On using prototype reduction schemes to optimize locally linear reconstruction methods
2012
Authors version of an article published in the journal: Pattern Recognition. Also available from the publisher at: http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.patcog.2011.06.021 This paper concerns the use of prototype reduction schemes (PRS) to optimize the computations involved in typical k-nearest neighbor (k-NN) rules. These rules have been successfully used for decades in statistical pattern recognition (PR) [1,15] applications and are particularly effective for density estimation, classification, and regression because of the known error bounds that they possess. For a given data point of unknown identity, the k-NN possesses the phenomenon that it combines the information about the samples from a pri…
Investigation of Multipaction Phenomena in Passive Waveguide Filters for Space Applications
2006
This paper presents an investigation on multipaction risk in microwave bandpass filters. The study reveals higher multipaction risk for narrower bandpass filters. To alleviate the problem with multi-paction generation, different novel filtering structures are proposed. Results demonstrate that using the new structures multipaction risk can be reduced as much as 30% with regard to the initial design.
On a les adventices qu’on mérite, mais ce n’est pas toujours mauvais signe ! Retour sur 17 ans d’essai INRA sur la réduction des herbicides
2019
National audience; On sait depuis longtemps que la gestion des adventices ne peut être réglée en un claquement de doigts, surtout quand on est en transition vers un système plus innovant. On sait aussi que c’est rarement la recherche de méthodes de substitution qui permet d’atteindre des objectifs ambitieux. Une « reconception » profonde du système est souvent nécessaire pour se donner les moyens d’atteindre la multiperformance. C’est ce que l’Inra a fait, en 2000, en définissant et en testant cinq prototypes de systèmes de culture visant à réduire l’usage d’herbicides. L’un des systèmes a été en TCS pendant dix ans, et en semis direct sous couvert (ACS) durant les sept dernières années. Ca…
Prototypes d’outil d’aide à la décision à partir de FLORSYS pour la gestion intégrée des adventices
2017
EAGESTAD DOCT INRA; Combiner des pratiques culturales est indispensable pour réduire l’utilisation des herbicides et contrôler la flore adventice, mais prévoir les effets de ces combinaisons est complexe. Le modèle "parcelle virtuelle" FLORSYS évalue des systèmes de culture combinant de nombreuses pratiques culturales mais est trop complexe à utiliser. Notre objectif est de développer un outil d’aide à la décision (OAD) basé sur FLORSYS et la forme développée avec des futurs utilisateurs. Les prototypes ont été produits grâce à la fouille de données sur des simulations de FLORSYS via des arbres de régression multivariés. Pour tenir compte des variables non modifiables par un agriculteur, no…
A hardware skin-segmentation IP for vision based smart ADAS through an FPGA prototyping
2017
International audience; In this paper we presents a platform based design approach for fast HW/SW embedded smart Advanced Driver Assistant System (ADAS) design and prototyping. Then, we share our experience in designing and prototyping a HW/SW vision based smart embedded system as an ADAS that helps to increase the safety of car's drivers. We present a physical prototype of the vision ADAS based on a Zynq FPGA. The system detects the fatigue state of the driver by monitoring the eyes closure and generates a real-time alert. A new HW/SW codesign skin segmentation step to locate the eyes/face is proposed. Our presented new approach migrates the skin segmentation step from processing system (S…
