Illuminating The Path To Enhanced Resilience Of Machine Learning Models Against The Shadows Of Missing Labels
Authors: Nikolay Simankov , Rachid Tahzima , Sébastien Massart , Hélène Soyeurt
Published: February 2024

The sensitivity of state-of-the-art supervised classification models is
compromised by contamination-prone biomedical datasets, which are
vulnerable to the presence of missing or erroneous labels (i.e.,
inliers). From codon frequencies, electrocardiogram signals, biomarkers,
morphological features, and patient questionnaires, we attempted to
cover a wide range of typical biomedical databases exposed to the risk
of inlier contamination. In some very niche fields, such as image
recognition, missing labels have received a lot of attention, but in
Life Sciences, where outliers are almost systematically filtered,
inliers have remained orphans. Our study introduced a pragmatic and
innovative methodology that consists of upcycling one-class
semi-supervised anomaly detection models for filtering potential inliers
in training datasets. By validating this methodology and benchmarking
five one-class semi-supervised models and two ensemble methods were
benchmarked against various traditional classifiers on 6 databases with
10 different contamination levels and 10 random samplings, achieving an
average Matthews correlation coefficient of 78±17% in validation,
whereas 22 supervised classifiers achieved an average score of 81±9%
trained with the complete and uncontaminated trainset. Therefore, by
filtering the training set with an isolation forest, the average
resilience to inliers of 22 tested Machine Learning models increased
from 69±11% to 95±1%, including neural networks and gradient-boosting
methods. Taken together, our study showcased the efficacy of our
versatile approach in enhancing the resilience of Machine Learnig models
and highlighted the importance of accurately addressing the inliers
challenge in the domains of Life Sciences.
Parallel Computation of Shallow Water Flows Using Hybrid MPI/OpenACC
Authors: Rhee Syngman
Published: February 2024

A parallel shallow water flow model is introduced in this paper. The
explicit-time finite volume approach is adopted to solve the 2D shallow
water equations on an unstructured triangular mesh. The proposed scheme
is second-order accurate in temporal and spatial terms using the
two-stage Runge-Kutta and the monotone upwind scheme for conservation
law (MUSCL) methods, respectively. Based on Message Passing Interface
(MPI) and OpenACC, a multi-GPU model is presented with the METIS library
to produce the domain decomposition. A CUDA-aware MPI library through
GPUDirect for peer-to-peer (P2P) transfer between two GPUs and
overlapping computation and MPI communication are used to speed up MPI
memory exchange and the performance of the code. A 2D circular dam break
test with wet and dry downstream beds and grid resolutions of about 2
million cells is considered to verify the accuracy of the code, and good
results were achieved compared to the numerical simulations of published
studies. Compared with the multi-CPU version of the 6-core CPU, maximum
speedups of 56.18 and 331.51 were obtained using the single-GPU and
multi-GPU versions, respectively. Results indicate that acceleration
performance improves as the mesh resolution increases.
EASE: Energy Optimization through Adaptation – A Review of Runtime Energy-Aware Approximate Deep Learning Algorithms
Authors: Shakibhamedan Salar , Aminifar Amin , Taherinejad Nima , Jantsch Axel
Published: February 2024

This survey provides an overview of the state-of-the-art in runtime
adaptive Approximate Computing (AxC) for Deep Learning (DL) algorithms,
highlighting the challenges and opportunities in the field. The survey
covers a broad spectrum of applications, including medical applications,
computer vision, and natural language processing. Various
power-constrained platforms, such as System-on-Chips (SoCs), Application
Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs), and Field Programmable Gate Arrays
(FPGAs), are explored for their utilization in implementing runtime
adaptive AxC. The survey explores various techniques, such as dynamic
quantization, adaptive pruning, and low-rank approximations, offering a
detailed discussion of their advantages and disadvantages. Specifically,
in some surveyed research works, the runtime approximation is achieved
through the utilization of machine learning algorithms, with a notable
emphasis on Reinforcement Learning (RL). These approaches aim to realize
runtime conditions and exploit them appropriately. By providing insights
into the advancements and trends in runtime adaptive AxC, this survey
serves as a valuable resource for researchers and practitioners
interested in this rapidly evolving area of computing. This survey
conducts an in-depth investigation into the application, challenges, and
scope of runtime adaptive AxC techniques, aiming to mitigate energy
consumption while preserving acceptable levels of accuracy in DL models.
Our primary focus lies on Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), with an
emphasis on their application in diverse domains. In striving for
comprehensiveness, the survey encompasses selected research works that
extend beyond CNNs, including alternative DL models like Recurrent
Neural Networks (RNNs). our scope of applications, focuses on CNNs;
however, to make a comprehensive survey, we cover some surveyed research
works that contain other DL models, such as RNNs. It also highlights the
importance of considering specific application requirements and
available resources when choosing the appropriate technique.
The war behind this war
Authors: Valagussa Francesco
Published: February 2024

This article intends to read the profound dynamics that characterise the current war in the light of certain classical philosophical categories such as the relationship established by Hegel between substance and subject, the difference between the concept of substance and the concept of function as it was discussed by Cassirer, and finally the binomial power over life and right of death reread by Foucault in a biopolitical key. In the light of these polarities, it is in fact possible to identify two opposing worldviews – on which depend two completely different ways of understanding the function of the state, the weight to be ascribed to rights, and even two different ways of conceiving and conducting war – that do not necessarily coincide with the two opposing sides in the field.
The secularizing nature of Christian choice for images
Authors: Lingua Graziano
Published: February 2024

Daniele Guastini’s book Immagini cristiane e cultura antica is one of the most significant contributions to the current debate on the role of Christian images. The choice of images made by Christianity since the third century – this is the main thesis of the work – represents one of the generative moments of the long-lasting process of secularization that came to characterize Western culture. This essay aims to discuss this thesis, contextualizing it both from a theological point of view and in relation to its philosophical and cultural-historical significance. I then dwell on two questions more directly related to the interpretation of the Christian image in the first millennium: the relationship that the iconographic practice of the Christian origins has with the Jewish and pagan context, and the role that the interpretation of the “Byzantine turn” plays in the overall structure of the Guastini’s book.
L’art de mettre à part. Autour d’un affect guerrier
Authors: Brosteaux Déborah
Published: February 2024

This article explores a certain type of affect that accompanied the post-1945 European dream: the feeling that an impassable distance separates us from worlds at war. Starting with the interplay between protected spaces and devastated territories, the article seeks to trace the operations that give life to this affect of distance. How does this distance play a part in our ways of being at war? And what kind of agentivity is at work, which makes it possible not to feel involved? Drawing on Martha Rosler’s montages of images and a fragment of Simone Weil, the article unravels the tortuous mechanisms that allow us to be at war, while at the same time setting war apart.
Tra Firenze e Roma: modelli danteschi
Authors: Ferroni Giulio
Published: February 2024

For Dante, Florence is the root and the form of a personal identity that has become the sign of corruption and the negation of the human. In opposition to it is Rome, the center of measure and control of a pacified world, a city ordered by God. In any event, Dante’s gaze would never cease, in a series of connections involving both identification and distancing, to turn towards the city of his birth: an invitation not to forgo, in our contemporary cities, the possibility of maintaining a vital balance between past and future.
Barozzi-Veiga. La filarmonica di Stettino
Authors: Basili Giulio
Published: February 2024

The great form of civil architecture, a spotless white ‘Gothic cathedral’ which accommodates the function of a concert hall, is filtered by the external fragmentation, declaring the will to lead the scale back to a sort of domesticity, in order to conform to the consolidated urban context. This is a first insight, an instinctive response to the place, a suspended atmosphere that is made of elementary geometric shapes marked by light.
Renato Rizzi. Teatro Elisabettiano di Danzica

The landscape and the history of Gdansk are represented in the synthesis expressed by the architecture of the theatre in which Renato Rizzi resorts to ‘mechanical’ art with the same spirit of a Renaissance architect or artist wishing to transfer into his own ‘creation’ the harmony of the Universe, and for whom the ‘machine’ is a mirror of Nature. The ‘machine’ is the place where archè and téchne meet.

To trace back the history of the Berlin Castle from its foundation to the present day is like making an incursion into the political and urban history of the city it represents, in which the act of reconstruction becomes the moment of re-appropriation, on the one hand, of the ‘evocative efficacy’ of the Castle and, on the other, of the rediscovery of the special relationship that once connected the monument to the city and was later lost. The urban mission of the work and the fact of its being a monument lie at the centre of Franco Stella’s project.

This article is a critical essay on Mies van der Rohe’s Mansion House Square project in London. The bronze and glass tower and the stone square possess an almost iconic value in that they are a witness of a solid idea of the city, ripened through his experiences in Germany and the United States, which inevitably coincides, having contributed to determine it, with the history of the European city and its evolution during the 20th century.
Carlo Cocchia. Lo Stadio del Sole a Fuorigrotta
Authors: Fabbrizzi Fabio
Published: February 2024

In 1948, heading a team of architects, Carlo Cocchia won the competition called by the Italian National Olympic Committee (CONI) for the building of the new stadium in Naples. It was only in 1959, after many modifications to the original project, that the stadium was inaugurated. Two rings separated from each other constitute the stands which, supported by structures in reinforced concrete, allow the city to visually enter the stadium. With the passage of time this feature disappeared due to the indiscriminate growth of the city, thus cancelling the relationship between the building and its surroundings.

Il processo di mediazione tra natura e artefatto resiste come uno dei capisaldi del ‘movimento scandinavo’ all’interno di una modernità, posata in equilibrio tra spirito funzionalistico e memorie che divengono destino, nell’applicazione artigianale delle osservazioni della Natura come territorio esperienziale. Il Wadden Sea Center risulta essere quindi un palinsesto celebrativo, informato da una serie di ipotesi progettuali che divengono interrogativi rivolti dall’architettura all’osservatore.The process of mediation between nature and artifact resists as one of the cornerstones of the ‘Scandinavian movement’, within a modernity that lies in balance between the functionalist spirit and memories that become destiny, in the artisanal application of the observation of Nature as a territory of experience. The Wadden Sea Center is therefore a celebratory palimpsest, informed by a series of design hypotheses which in turn become questions addressed by the architecture to the observer.

Il tempo delle abitudini
Authors: Carnevali Barbara
Published: February 2024

Il tempo dell’architettura è il tempo del presente iterativo, inteso cioè come sistema di abitudini, come forma della vita quotidiana: è questa la dimensione del tempo su cui riflettere all’epoca della crisi ambientale. La ripetizione infatti plasma la vita attraverso una componente estetica, formale, trasformandola da sequenza di eventi contingenti in quella che si definisce una forma (o uno stile) di vita.

The time of architecture is the time of the iterative present, understood as a system of habits, as the form of everyday life: this is the aspect of time on which it is worth reflecting during the age of environmental crisis. Indeed, repetition shapes life through an aesthetic, formal component, transforming it from a sequence of contingent events into what can be defined as a form (or style) of life.

Il progetto di Rudolf Schwarz per il Wallraf-Richartz-Museum di Colonia, nel suo lavoro con il corpo specifico sul quale si innesta e con quello della città che per secoli ne ha accompagnato la crescita, può essere letto – anche alle luce delle parole dello stesso architetto – come un esemplare «programma di costruzione di una città» e un encomiabile tentativo di protrarre vivo il secolare compito di «edificazione della storia».

Rudolf Schwarz’s project for the Wallraf-Richartz-Museum in Cologne, in its work with the specific ‘body’ onto which it is grafted, as well as with the city that has accompanied its growth through the centuries, can be interpreted – also taking the architect’s own words into account – as an exemplary “city-building programme” and an admirable attempt to maintain alive the age-old task of “building history”.
Lo Stadio Panatenaico tra il tempo dell’archeologia e il tempo dell’architettura
Authors: Mugnai Francesca
Published: February 2024

Lo Stadio Panatenaico è un’architettura esemplare di permanenza nel tempo tempo attraverso una continua rinascita come organismo che, mai uguale a se stesso, muta a partire dalla matrice della prima impronta insediativa.

The Panathenaic Stadium is an architecture which epitomises permanence over time through its continuous rebirth as an organism that, never the same as itself, is always changing based on the matrix of its first settlement trace.
Educazione sessuale e socio-affettiva nella scuola italiana: il parere di genitori ed insegnanti della scuola dell’infanzia e primaria a confronto
Authors: Servettini Alice , Morante Susanna , Mattiacci Giulia , Batini Federico
Published: February 2024

Despite being addressed since 1975, sex education in Italy has not significantly developed, and resistance and misinformation campaigns persist, preventing its inclusion in the school curriculum. This paper examines the opinions of parents and teachers on this topic in pre-school and primary schools, through anonymous online questionnaires. The aim is to understand whether distrust persists or whether a broadening of perspectives is observed. The respondents express a strong interest in sexual and socio-affective education, albeit with different emphases, and a general conviction that it is necessary for the education system to address it.
Formarsi alla felicità: qualche riflessione teorica e pratica
Authors: Cambi Franco
Published: February 2024

Happiness has become an increasingly complex ideal in recent years, declining between the individual and society. It must become a personal practice cultivated with commitment on the part of each individual; it must also give rise, in a social dimension, to a fair and supportive community. On an individual and societal level, happiness increasingly represents a task to be pursued with determination, on a theoretical and practical level.
La “paideia” nell’epoca attuale dell’incertezza
Authors: Cambi Franco
Published: February 2024

The article presents pedagogical reflections on the notion of paideia, framing it in a historical and theoretical key and questioning its topicality: in an age marked by uncertainty, it needs to be re-evaluated and offers important stimuli for shaping the contemporary human being, also in relation to psychoanalysis.
When and How Did Volodymyr Vsevolodovyč Become Monomachos?
Authors: Aristov Vadym
Published: February 2024

The article reviews the sources of the late 11th-12th centuries relevant to the use of “Monomachos” to refer to Prince Volodymyr Vsevolodovyč. The author questions the idea that the family name of his mother “Monomachos” was the name by which the prince was known during his lifetime. The analysis shows that reliable references to the name “Monomachos” dating from the time of Volodymyr’s life come from the sources directly connected to him. This is the Instruction written by Volodymyr himself and two types of his seals. Their creation can be reasonably dated to around 1116-1117. The mentions of the name “Monomachos” in the text of the Primary Chronicle are preserved only in its ‘Hypatian’ version. Judging by a number of signs, they were later interpolations. At the same time, in most cases, the chronicles and other sources of the late 11th-early 12th centuries do not apply his mother’s family name to Volodymyr. In the chronicles of the 12th century, the name “Monomachos” is rare. In the Kyivan Chronicle, it appears in edited or interpolated fragments. In the Suzdalian Chronicle, it is mentioned regularly in the year entries of the late 12th-early 13th centuries. It was the editors of the Suzdalian Chronicle of the early 13th century who initiated the revival and further spread of the name “Monomachos” in the literary tradition. It is proposed that the beginning of the use of Volodymyr’s maternal name should be associated with the events of 1116-1117. The prince supported the impostor Leo in the struggle for the Byzantine throne. This ‘project’ required the actualization of Volodymyr’s ‘Byzantine’ identity.

Tangibility of Time in the Prose of Aleksander Jurewicz
Authors: Pańkowa Olga , Pańkow Herman
Published: February 2024

The article is focused on the model of artistic time in the works of Polish writer Alexander Jurewicz: Lida (1990), The Lord Does Not Hear the Deaf (Pan Bóg nie słyszy głuchych, 1995), The True Ballad of Love (Prawdziwa ballada o miłości, 2002), Ashes and Wind (Popiół i wiatr, 2005), and The Day Before the End of the World (Dzień przed końcem świata, 2008). Novel-collage Ashes and Wind is considered as a key work that sums up the writer’s reflections. Jurewicz crosses temporal layers, memories of the past, and refracts vignettes from childhood onto artistic reality. Replicating the past contributes to a fuller definition of one’s own identity. The article shows the interpretation of time by a writer who ruminates on the existence of a person in time and in discord with it, on the openness and tightness of the temporal frame, as well as the timeless nature of sacralizing the space of his home and childhood.

The Study of Music Theatre in the Russian Context: Italian Contributions and the Current Debate
Authors: Giust Anna
Published: February 2024

The two main narratives that coexist in Russian musicological literature – notably in the field of opera – fall within the branches of russkaja and zarubežnaja muzyka. The first is inward-looking, self-referential, aiming at enhancing the peculiarities of the original, peculiar, and autochthonous contribution to Russian musical culture; the other studies Western music and its evolution separately from the previous one. This approach differs from Western scholarship, which today tries to integrate the Russian musical phenomenon into the global horizon. While this difference can be explained through historical reasons, much remains to be done regarding communication between scientific communities and the coordination of efforts made to study sources that are still too dispersed and difficult to submit to an overall view. Observing the current state of research, my contribution highlights potential directions in the frame of Slavic studies, such as the reception of Western opera in Russia, the mobility of musicians and musical assets, the reception and evolution of aesthetic thinking, and the vocabulary with which this was expressed, particularly in the imperial era.

Russian Literary Theories in Italy: Translations and Research (1991-2023)
Authors: Larocca Giuseppina
Published: February 2024

This article provides an overview of the state of translation and research on Russian literary theories published in Italy from 1991 to 2023. Particular attention is given to the wide range of perspectives and activities put forward by national literary criticism, especially the role played by Italian journals specialising in Slavic studies such as “Studi Slavistici”, “Europa Orientalis”, “Russica Romana” “Ricerche Slavistiche”, “Slavica Tergestina”, “AvtobiografiJA”, “eSamizdat”, and publishers such as “Bompiani”, “Einaudi”, “Laterza”, “Marsilio”, “De Donato”. Notably, some journals, for instance “Strumenti critici”, “Enthymema”, “Letterature e Letteratura”, “LEA”, “Kamen’”, “Tincontre. Teoria Testo Traduzione” and “La parola del testo”, have shown a significant engagement with Russian literary theories, despite not being devoted to the field of Slavic studies. By taking into account the theoretical trends of the last three decades, I demonstrate that a great deal of consideration has been given to OPOJAZ, the Moscow Linguistic Circle, the so-called “Bakhtin Circle” and the gachn (State Academy of Art Studies), with a renewed interest in literary personalities such as Michail Petrovskij, Grigorij Vinokur, and Lev Pumpjanskij, but also in key figures linked to sociology of literature such as Boris Arvatov.
Towards the Poetics of the Early Mandelštam. Ja v chorovod tenej: an Analysis
Authors: Uspenskij Boris Andreevič
Published: February 2024

Mandelstam’s poem is divided into two opposing parts, in terms of content and style; they are united by the same lyrical subject. These two parts correspond to two parallel narrative plans. In the beginning, the unreal, afterlife world (the world of shadows) is presented, and then the earthly, real world. The first part describes the lyrical subject’s transition from being to non-being; the second part speaks of the life he has left behind which at the same time continues for him. The analysis of the poem leads to the conclusion that the world of shadows is treated by the poet as an Elysium of names, i.e. poetic words. It is a special reality created by poetic language. This poem appears as an illustration of Mandelstam’s early theoretical work on poetic language.

Self-Exile as a Writing Strategy in the Novels by W.G. Sebald and A.A. Makušinskij
Authors: Khromova Ekaterina Olegovna
Published: February 2024

In modern literary criticism, the concept and so-called genre ‘migration literature’ is commonly associated with the experience of exile, often for political reasons; by contrast, writers who have left their country for reasons other than political are labelled as ‘migrant-writers’, ‘writers abroad’, or ‘diaspora writers’. The use of such a different terminology to categorise authors and their writings highlight the fact that there are some distinctive characteristics distinguishing them.

While I do share this perspective to a certain degree, I also would like to draw attention to a major literary trend of the last two decades: the appearance of writers who expatriate voluntarily without being persecuting politically but yet are in a situation which I define as ‘self-exile’ or ‘voluntary exile’. Despite their different languages and countries of origin and residence, an analysis of their texts demonstrates that these authors are united by two common features: 1) a reflection on the tragic past of their compatriots, who have experienced forced mass emigration, and an attempt to find echoes of this experience in  everyday life; and 2) an awareness of their own position (that is, the situation of self-exile) as a productive process and creative basis for their writing work. 

The hypothesis I suggest in this paper is that the texts written by ‘writers who are in self-exile’ are characterised by certain writing strategies and themes typical of migrant writers yet they also have some unique features, which are related to the voluntary experience of leaving their home country. Home is to be understood broadly, not in terms of a certain geopolitical location, but as belonging to one single culture, community, and language. The aim of this article is to examine these very features.

This article focuses on the novels by two famous contemporary authors: Aleksej Makušinskij (Russia/Germany) and Winfried Sebald (Germany/United Kingdom). In their works, the representation of the condition of self-exile  has led the authors to develop a multilingual discourse and recreate the new transitory literary world.
