This composition represents an exploration and animation of an aesthetic framework outlined by the composer in previous research. in-ear binaural method of recording and reproduction (and its headphone-based dissemination) is the focus of critical engagement, with an identification of a peculiar, participatory recording and listening method leading to novel aesthetic strands. Several research strands are exemplified and synthesised in this longform acousmatic musical work, representing the pinnacle of the research to date, including primarily those of: binaural negative space, the spatial opposition of the recordist and listener (Barnard 2010, 39) and its subsequent extension and relation to Merleau-Ponty (Emam 2013, 3) through reduction of distance (Merleau-Ponty 2011, 305); the earshot aesthetic that emerges from the context-rich, indiscriminate spatial sampling of the method (Barnard 2010, 42) and the broader truth that it permits (Weidenaar 2002, 66); and the extended spatial register of the binaural method and the dynamic affordance of internalised and externalised imagery (Barnard 2010, 37), as the collapsed monophonic space of the deteriorated tape of Ruttman’s ‘Wochenende’ (1930) and the clarity of the binaural circumspace (Smalley 2007, 51) is explored in an overt exchange of gestures, as the sonic typologies of Ruttman’s 1930 analogue original are mimicked and reinterpreted.Barnard, Matthew. 2010. “The Sounds of Displacement.” PhD diss., University of Hull.Emam, Tariq. 2013.

Efficient Analysis of User Reviews and Community-Contributed Photographs for Reputation Generation

People can share their thoughts and opinions on any entities through the Internet. Normally, the attitude of the preferences of human can be predicted which are expressed in natural languages. Using sentimental mining method, the readership predictions are made on online reviews of locations. The reviews have been useful for the travelers to gain knowledge about the information of various locations and shortlist the best that is needed for them. In this paper, we categorize the locations based on the reviews and community-contributed photographs with the help of yelp and Tripadvisor datasets. In the proposed approach, opinions are filtered to eliminate unrelated ones through opinion pertinence calculation, and later grouped into a number of fused principal opinion sets. Based on the experiments conducted on large-scale datasets, the proposed approach is found to be useful for the user to make a decision.

Learning Deep Generative Models with Short Run Inference Dynamics

This paper studies the fundamental problem of learning deep generative models that consist of multiple layers of latent variables organized in top-down architectures. Such models have high expressivity and allow for learning hierarchical representations. Learning such a generative model requires inferring the latent variables for each training example based on the posterior distribution of these latent variables. The inference typically requires Markov chain Monte Caro (MCMC) that can be time consuming. In this paper, we propose to use noise initialized non-persistent short run MCMC, such as finite step Langevin dynamics initialized from the prior distribution of the latent variables, as an approximate inference engine, where the step size of the Langevin dynamics is variationally optimized by minimizing the Kullback-Leibler divergence between the distribution produced by the short run MCMC and the posterior distribution. Our experiments show that the proposed method outperforms variational auto-encoder (VAE) in terms of reconstruction error and synthesis quality. The advantage of the proposed method is that it is simple and automatic without the need to design an inference model.

Design Concept for Thule Strollers- Improving the user experience in the dark

For most people getting a stroller is an obvious thing to do when having a baby. It’s mainly used for transportation of the baby but has other functions as well. For example, it is used as a storage, serves as a shopping bag for groceries and makes a perfect bed for a baby nap. Using a stroller should be easy and safe, but when it’s getting dark outside it can be hard to see the road ahead and find things in the storage, especially if there are no streetlights. And in addition to this it becomes harder to detect the stroller which increases the risk of an accident to occur. 40 % of all accidents where a pedestrian is involved happens when it is dark outside, even though less people are out walking during this time.This master thesis is a collaboration with Thule Sweden AB and aims to improve the experience of using a stroller in the dark. To get information about the users’ opinions and experiences, a research and a user study took place. This gave knowledge about the existing market but also revealed what was important to focus on when continuing to the development phase. Several concepts were discovered through an iterative process including sketching, brainstorming and building mock-ups. In the end one of the concepts was selected for further development resulting in a prototype designed with high focus on safety, usability and aesthetics. The final concept lights up the inside and outside of the stroller and gives it an aesthetic glow which improves the visibility. It provides the user with a full overview of the baby, lights up the road ahead and makes it easy to find things in the basket. The solution includes one light diffusing fiber attached to the inside of the canopy through a meshed trail and two light diffusing fibers attached to the bottom of the basket through plastic trails. The plastic trails allow the light to act on both sides providing light both inside and outside the storage. The discreet and user-friendly design correspond to the values of Thule and the mission to help people live an active life with their kids safely, easily and in style.

Content Analysis and Learning Analytics on Interactions of Unsupervised Learners in an Online Learning Environment

In line with the smart learning environment, online learners require not only adequate supports to help them overcome loneliness and demotivation, but they also need pertinent guidance and orientation for proper interactions in line with their learning experience. In a socio-constructivism approach, this study examines unsupervised synchronous learner-learner interactions that took place in an online campus of a French university. At a master’s level, three teams of French speaking learners, with different cultural background, were given the same problem based assignment to complete. With the aim of understanding how interactions took place in this educational setup, content analysis was used, based on the Activity Theory of Engeström, on a total of 25 online meetings, organized by three teams, totaling to 3585 number of lines of logged textual interactions. Interestingly, it was found that the teams successfully completely their tasks by exchanging on almost the same types of interactions. However, the quality of these interactions can still be enhanced to generate higher cognitive and metacognitive discussions, as per the expectations of the tutors. Suggestion is given for recommender systems to be integrated in smart learning environment.

Las TIC en la educación: análisis en una universidad argentina

Given the changes generated by digital technologies in the ways of building knowledge, the role of educational institutions is fundamental in the reconfiguration of their teaching practices. This article aims to reveal the positions of university profes­sors in the face of digital innovation and compare them with proposals for professional updating. The methodological design enables to conduct an exploratory study on 45 professors from the National University of La Plata (UNLP), Argentina, using an online questionnaire about the uses, practices and perceptions assigned to teaching tech­nologies. In addition, three training proposals implemented by said academy are selected, as an observation unit, and a systematic description of such initiatives is carried out. From the articulation between the demands and teaching positions, and the performance and proposal returns, provisional conclusions are obtained: even though professors maintain a recurrent link with digital tools, these practices diminish in front of mediations that promote more creative capacities. Although processes that critically include digital resources are evident in internal training, there are contradic­tions within the positions expressed by professors and the adherence to trainings. This allows to discuss the challenges that higher education faces when wanting to generate sustained and genuine innovation processes.

The Effect of a Photographed Face on Attitude Polarisation and Self-Awareness

Attitude polarisation is a frequently discussed topic in relation to social media. As previous research has found indication that the absence of face-to-face contact increases attitude polarisation tendencies – through changing peoples’ private and public self-awareness. The present study aims at investigating whether a photographed face could produce a similar result. The study sampled 226 participants, collected via an online survey which randomly assigned them to one out of four groups. The groups consisted of different constellations of an article about metoo, a comment section, and small or large photographs of the people partaking in the comment section. Results of the study were non-significant. The main contributor to the non-significant results is believed to be a failed manipulation in collusion with the topic chosen (metoo), and the scale used to measure self-awareness. The results of the study indicate that seeing another person’s photograph does not alter self-awareness when reading a comment section. (Less)
