Représentations de l'Autre dans l'interaction : stéréotypes, prototypes, sosies et barbares
2011
Cet article pose la question du recours par les individus aux stéréotypes, mais aussi à différentes modalités de représentation de l'Autre, dans une interaction interpersonnelle. Il insiste sur l'influence du contexte figuratif, pour tenter de comprendre les rapports d'intersubjectivité propres à chacune de ces modalités, mais aussi pour chercher à expliquer leur fonctionnement dynamique et les facteurs qui peuvent provoquer le passage d'une modalité à une autre au cours d'une rencontre. Cette réflexion permet de mettre en avant les conditions d'intersubjectivité particulières qui semblent caractériser la communication avec un Autre identifié comme " différent ", contrairement à la communic…
Prototypes nationaux et prototypes européens dans l'interaction interculturelle: Quelles valeurs identitaires pour une communication entre Européens ?
2007
23 pages; À partir d'une réflexion théorique sur les notions de prototype et de stéréotype, le texte s'appuie sur une enquête empirique sous forme de questionnaire, pour tenter de discerner quels peuvent être les traits d'un prototype européen. Il examine également les différences nationales qui peuvent exister entre les représentations de l'Européen typique.
Modeling of female human body shapes for apparel design based on cross mean sets
2014
This paper is concerned with a method to build prototypes of human bodies that can be used for apparel design. One of the most important issues in the apparel development process is to define a sizing system to provide a good fitting for the majority of the population. Since anthropometric measures do not present the same linear growth with size in each dimension, it is very important to find a prototype that represents as accurately as possible each class in the sizing system. In this paper we propose a method based on the concept of random compact mean set to define prototypes in apparel design. From a cloud of 3D points obtained with a 3D scanner a solid that represents the human body is…

The Design Towards a Collaborative Subscription Service : The Case of The Finnish Newspaper Industry
2020
The newspaper industry is challenged with its business models. To stabilize revenues, publishers opted for digital subscriptions for generating additional revenue streams. However, digital subscriptions showcase limited success. News aggregator platforms may promise publishers a pool of paying readers. But platform fees and the loss of customer relationships enact barriers among publishers to join. This study proposes a software prototype based on design science research to address the aforementioned shortcomings by deriving design principles for a collaborative subscription service. Building on the strategic alliance, digital platform and business model literature, this research aims to id…
Prototipi per rigenerare Palermo
2021
Il contributo presenta e descrive criticamente le sperimentazioni progettuali per la città di Palermo elaborate all’interno del Laboratorio “Cosmopolitan Habitat” del Corso di Laurea Magistrale in Architettura del Dipartimento di Architettura dell’Università degli Studi di Palermo, giungendo all’elaborazione di prototipi di futuro possibile, progetti di conservazione, innovazione e trasformazione di alcune parti di città che fungono da esemplificazioni di soluzioni e da esposizione di processi. L’attenzione si è rivolta soprattutto alla generazione di “luoghi mondo”, ovvero luoghi che fungano da nodi locali di reti globali a supporto di una città policentrica e della cultura cosmopolita, in…
Semantics of Voids within Data: Ignorance-Aware Machine Learning
2021
Operating with ignorance is an important concern of geographical information science when the objective is to discover knowledge from the imperfect spatial data. Data mining (driven by knowledge discovery tools) is about processing available (observed, known, and understood) samples of data aiming to build a model (e.g., a classifier) to handle data samples that are not yet observed, known, or understood. These tools traditionally take semantically labeled samples of the available data (known facts) as an input for learning. We want to challenge the indispensability of this approach, and we suggest considering the things the other way around. What if the task would be as follows: how to buil…
Smart prototype selection for machine learning based on ignorance zones analysis
2018
The size of databases has been considerably growing over recent decades and Machine Learning algorithms are not ready to process such large volume of information. Being one of the most useful algorithms in Data Mining the Nearest neighbor classifier suffers from high storage requirements and slow response when working with large data sets. Prototype Selection methods help to alleviate this problem by choosing a subset of data with a smaller size. In this thesis, the overview of existing instance selection methods is provided together with the introduction of a new approach. The majority of current methods select a subset experimentally by checking whether certain point affects classificatio…
Improvements and applications of the elements of prototype-based clustering
2018
Clustering or cluster analysis is an essential part of data mining, machine learning, and pattern recognition. The most popularly applied clustering methods are partitioning-based or prototype-based methods. Prototype-based clustering methods usually have easy implementability and good scalability. These methods, such as K-means clustering, have been used for different applications in various fields. On the other hand, prototype-based clustering methods are typically sensitive to initialization, and the selection of the number of clusters for knowledge discovery purposes is not straightforward. In the era of big data, in high-velocity, ever-growing datasets, which can also be erroneous, outl…
