Recommender system based on collaborative filtering
Authors: Yurchak I. , Hryhlevych M.
Published: December 2023

Collaborative filtering is a popular technique for providing personalized recommendations in recommender systems. However, the sparsity problem and the accuracy-diversity tradeoff are major challenges that limit its performance. In this article, we propose a novel approach that combines matrix factorization with novelty metrics to improve the accuracy and diversity of recommendations. We evaluate our approach on the MovieLens dataset and compare it with several state-of-the-art techniques, including neighborhood-based methods, probabilistic models, and hybrid approaches. Our experimental results show that our method is better than other techniques in terms of both accuracy and diversity, as measured by precision, recall, and novelty metrics.

Considerations for the design and conduct of externally controlled trials for drug and biological products
Authors: Motrinchuk A. S. , Belousov D. Yu.
Published: December 2023

This guidance provides recommendations to sponsors and investigators considering the use of externally controlled clinical trials to provide evidence of the safety and effectiveness of a drug product. In an externally controlled trial, outcomes in participants receiving the test treatment according to a protocol are compared with outcomes in a group of people external to the trial who had not received the same treatment. The external control arm can be a group of people, treated or untreated, from an earlier time (historical control), or it can be a group of people, treated or untreated, during the same period (concurrent control) but in another setting. The guidance addresses considerations for the design and analysis of externally controlled trials to study the effectiveness and safety of drugs, including discussion of threats to the validity of trial results from potential 

bias. Although various sources of data can serve as the control arm in an externally controlled trial, this guidance focuses on the use of patient-level data from other clinical trials or from real-world data (RWD) sources, such as registries, electronic health records, and medical claims. The guidance also describes considerations related to communicating with the FDA and ensuring access by the FDA to data from an externally controlled trial. This guidance does not address other types of external controls, such as using summary-level estimates instead of patient-level data. This guidance does not discuss details of the design and analysis of a natural history study nor the reliability and relevance of various sources of RWD that could be used in an externally controlled trial. Finally, this guidance also does not discuss considerations for using external control data to supplement a control arm in a traditional randomized controlled clinical trial. In general, FDA guidance documents do not establish legally enforceable responsibilities. Instead, guidance describes the Agency’s current thinking on a topic and should be viewed only as recommendations, unless specific regulatory or statutory requirements are cited. The use of the word should in Agency guidance means that something is suggested or recommended, but not required.

Published: December 2023

The study examined the digital diplomacy practices of three diplomatic actors, namely the US, the UK, and China, in Kenya. To understand how these actors communicate their messages digitally, the study conducted a content analysis of their X tweets, hashtags, hyperlinks, and visuals. Additionally, the study analyzed the tweet impressions section of the posts to gain insight into individual tweet performance, engagement, followers, and following details. These components are crucial in understanding the digital diplomacy practices of the actors. The results showed that the diplomatic actors prioritized following other diplomatic actors, heads of state, online influencers, organizations, projects, and companies of interest, rather than the local Kenyan digital public. The study also found that the preferred topics of the diplomatic actors were tourism, politics, culture, education, and economic development, among others. The reasons for prioritizing certain actors and topics were to monitor activities, protect interests, push foreign policies, expand networks, counter misinformation, and protect image abroad. The findings are presented in the form of a network analysis of tweets to show the communication strategies adopted by the diplomatic actors to influence or exert power over their followers on X.

Authors: Li Yujun
Published: December 2023

By a fractional quadratic transformation, an indirect-PH curve can have rational offsets. In this paper, I study properties of planar sextic indirect-PH curves, in terms of their Bézier control polygon legs. With our results, sextic Bézier curves can be efficiently tested whether they are indirect-PH curves. The main strategy to achieve our results is using complex representation of planar parametric curve. Sextic indirect-PH curves can be classified into three classes according to different factorizations of their hodographs. Necessary and sufficient conditions for all classes of sextic indirect-PH curves can be described by non-linear complex systems. By analyzing these non-linear systems, algebraic conditions for a sextic Bézier curve to be an indirect-PH curve are first discussed, then geometric characteristics in terms of legs of its control polygon are revealed.

Published: December 2023

Know how and ability have a seemingly fraught relationship. I deepen the tension here, by arguing for two new pieces of data concerning know how and ability. First, know how ascriptions have two distinct readings that differ in their entailments to ability: one entails ability, the other does not. Second, in certain cases, know how claims rely on ability to have determinate truth-values at all: the indeterminacy of certain ability claims infects both readings of know how claims. No existing accounts of the relationship between know how and ability captures both data points, I argue; but intellectualists about know how have special resources to account for them. Ascriptions of knowledge of infinitival questions give rise to a distinctive kind of context-sensitivity specific to infinitivals. I show how on an intellectualist view where, very roughly, knowing how to do something is knowing an answer to an infinitival question about your abilities, this context-sensitivity accounts for the relationship between know how and ability.
Les plateformes numériques d’orientation : des outils pour la socialisation des élèves aux règles du marché
Authors: Lehner Paul , Oller Anne-Claudine , Pin Clément
Published: December 2023

L’article analyse le phénomène récent de déploiement de plateformes en orientation en recourant à deux concepts : celui de plateformisation et de socialisation. Le travail d’ajustement des aspirations des élèves aux chances objectives de réussite est ainsi étudié sous l’angle de la diversité des intermédiaires – numériques et humains – intervenant dans l’accompagnement à l’orientation des élèves et au prisme de la nature des informations et des outils qu’ils leur fournissent. L’article mobilise une analyse descriptive comparative de quatre plateformes – Parcoursup, Onisep-Terminales, Oriane.info et Inspire – et les matériaux recueillis au cours d’une enquête de terrain sur l’accompagnement à l’orientation dans quatre établissements franciliens pour montrer comment se matérialise la socialisation des élèves aux règles du marché et se dessine à l’horizon la figure de l’élève comme sujet marchand.
Examen de portée sur les pratiques de mentorat virtuel de soutien à l’orientation d’élèves et d’étudiant·es
Authors: Cournoyer Louis , Lachance Lise
Published: December 2023

Le mentorat virtuel gagne en popularité dans le champ de l’éducation en raison de sa souplesse et de son accessibilité. Or, l’apport de ces nouvelles pratiques ainsi que les défis qu’elles posent, en contexte d’orientation, demeurent méconnus. Cet examen de portée (scoping review) propose un état de connaissances sur les pratiques de mentorat virtuel de soutien à l’orientation chez les personnes adolescentes et les jeunes adultes de niveau secondaire, collégial ou universitaire. Un total de 18 articles empiriques, révisés par les pairs, publiés du 1er janvier 2016 au 1er juin 2022, ont fait l’objet de synthèses et d’analyses. Les résultats montrent des apports sur le plan du processus de prise de décision de carrière et de la consolidation du choix professionnel, selon certaines modalités et conditions favorables pour les mentor·es et mentoré·es. Les recherches sur le mentorat virtuel demeurent cependant limitées à des populations particulièrement minoritaires et vulnérables.
Les processus d’apprentissage et de développement en contexte de counseling de carrière groupal en ligne
Authors: Dupuis Audrey , Bourgeois Charles
Published: December 2023

Les personnes conseillères d’orientation peuvent utiliser plusieurs modalités d’intervention, incluant la modalité groupale. La pandémie de la COVID-19 a entraîné le passage en ligne de programmes d’intervention groupale, mais les recherches à ce sujet demeurent peu nombreuses. L’objectif de cet article est de comprendre la façon dont se déroulent les processus d’apprentissage et de développement en contexte de counseling de carrière groupal en ligne. Le programme HORS-PISTE – Orientation est sélectionné pour ce faire, ayant été implanté selon cette modalité auprès de trois groupes formés de six ou sept participantes, âgées de 15 ou 16 ans au début de l’intervention. Les résultats montrent la façon dont les processus d’apprentissage et de développement se réalisent dans un contexte de counseling groupal en ligne et proposent une réflexion à ce sujet du point de vue de la perspective culturelle-historique.
L’orientation professionnelle pour les personnes en situation de handicap visuel : état de situation, perspectives et limites du numérique

Les psychologues conseiller/ères en orientation (PCO) suisses, qui travaillent avec un public déficient visuel (DEVI), font face à de nombreuses barrières dans la conduite d’examens psychologiques et notamment dans l’évaluation des aptitudes, intérêts, personnalité et valeurs. Une recherche a été conduite en prenant appui sur des observations de terrain et sur des techniques bibliométriques. La place particulière du numérique et des possibilités qu’il offre pour les pratiques en psychologie de l’orientation professionnelle a été analysée. La recherche met en évidence de la part des PCO des pratiques fréquentes pouvant être qualifiées de bricolage, en lien avec le recours aux technologies numériques. Pour éviter que certains bricolages ne se transforment en dérive, nous suggérons une approche de conception universelle afin de numériser les tests d’aptitudes et favoriser l’accès du public DEVI aux questionnaires en ligne.

Article 1 est une association agréée par le ministère de l’Éducation nationale, qui œuvre pour une société où l’orientation, la réussite dans les études et l’insertion professionnelle ne dépendent pas des origines sociales, économiques et culturelles. L’un de ces programmes concerne l’orientation des lycéens. Ainsi, la plateforme digitale inspire-orientation.org permet aux équipes éducatives d’accompagner leurs élèves en proposant des supports pédagogiques adaptés. Ce site contient des informations synthétiques et simplifiées utilisant les codes de communication des jeunes. L’outil numérique couplé par des ateliers en classe permet aux jeunes issus de milieux modestes de se fixer des buts d’orientation à hauteur de leur potentiel pour tendre vers leurs aspirations, notamment grâce au témoignage d’étudiants qui leur ressemblent favorisant leur projection positive vers l’avenir.
Recycler une étiquette générique, du narratif au dramatique : le cas du théâtre épique chez Bertolt Brecht
Authors: Boris Maéva
Published: December 2023

Cet article vise à proposer une théorie du recyclage lexical qui puisse donner un cadre de départ au séminaire « Recycler les mots ».En prenant le cas du théâtre épique que Bertolt Brecht conceptualise dans ses Écrits sur le théâtre, il s’agira de déterminer quelles sont les caractéristiques énonciatives et discursives d’un discours que l’on dit « recyclant » dans la mesure où celui-ci réinvestit un lexique institué – dans le cas de Brecht,celui de la poétique aristotélicienne – à d’autres fins. Brecht renouvelle en effet la pensée dramatique en arrachant le mot « épique » à la tradition qui l’a pourtant vu naître: il s’agira de comprendre la façon dont cette reprise lexicale permet d’opérer une révolution théorique par laquelle on instaure une dramaturgie radicalement nouvelle, voulue à contre-courant de La Poétique.Un tel projet n’est cependant pas sans paradoxe dans la mesure où l’élaboration de cette nouvelle dramaturgie – précisément parce qu’elle se dit « épique » – implique tout autant la continuité avec Aristote, si ce n’est plus, que la rupture avec celui-ci.
« Ce que vous avez voulu nommer mon classicisme » : du recyclage d’un concept d’histoire littéraire par Francis Ponge sous l’Occupation
Authors: Kervegan Lucas
Published: December 2023

Cet article revient sur un moment central, mais rarement évoqué, du rapport de Francis Ponge au classicisme. Si l’importance de l’héritage classique dans sa production de jeunesse ou dans ses textes des années 1950 et 1960 est souvent mise en avant, la période de l’Occupation est en général laissée de côté, alors que c’est à ce moment-là que Ponge intègre véritablement le mot « classicisme » à son lexique. Longtemps, il lui fut accolé par d’autres, et la facilité avec laquelle ce vocable est, durant les années 1920 et, surtout, 1940, utilisé par certains écrivains dont il est proche le fascine autant qu’elle le met mal à l’aise. Il a besoin d’être associé au classicisme par l’un de ses lecteurs, Camus, pour en venir à se l’approprier véritablement, au point que son recyclage se fonde sur celui d’un autre écrivain. Il ne se contente cependant pas de donner son aval à la lecture que ce dernier fait de son œuvre. Il cherche au contraire à annexer Camus derrière ses propres préoccupations, et tente même de déceler les fondements d’une définition générale du classicisme. Transposant des principes esthétiques classiques dans des domaines différents, Ponge l’associe à des notions qui en paraissent au premier abord relativement éloignées (le communisme) et l’oppose à certaines qui n’appartiennent pas au même champ de pensée (le catholicisme). Le classicisme qu’il prétend instaurer a en effet surtout une finalité anthropologique, et l’histoire littéraire influence peut-être moins sa définition du mot « classicisme » qu’une certaine image du cours de l’histoire.
Muḫannaṯ : quand recycler les mots défait et refait les genres
Authors: Linardi Noemi
Published: December 2023

Cet article se propose d’étudier les variations diachroniques et synchroniques du sens véhiculé par le terme muḫannaṯ. Il sera principalement question d’analyser les rapports entretenus entre le muḫannaṯ de l’époque classique (du début de l’Islam à l’époque abbasside) et celui de l’époque contemporaine, en soulignant le tournant que ce mot semble acquérir pendant l’époque abbasside. De fait, si aux débuts de l’Islam et à l’époque omeyyade, le muḫannaṯ désigne un membre d’une communauté de danseurs et musiciens transgressant les normes de la masculinité, à partir de l’époque abbasside, ce terme s’associe progressivement au rôle réceptif dans la sexualité anale. Cette dernière représentation du muḫannaṯ semble donc avoir joué un rôle prédominant en ce qui concerne l’utilisation de ce terme dans les écritures contemporaines.
L’adjectif « féministe » dans le discours politique espagnol : de la marge au conformisme (1975-2022)
Authors: Garrido y Saez Victoria
Published: December 2023

Ce travail porte sur l’Espagne des années 1975 à 2022. Il montrera comment les connotations politiques de l’adjectif « féministe » ont évoluées au point qu’adhérer publiquement au féminisme a des conséquences totalement différentes entre 1975 et 2022. Après la mort de Franco, une figure politique qui se déclare féministe s’isole en rompant avec les idéaux de la société démocratique. Au contraire, en 2022, tous les dirigeants se doivent d’être féministes, et ce sont ceux qui rejettent ce terme qui sont vus comme des marginaux. Il s’agira donc de faire la lumière sur les mécanismes qui, au fil des années, ont transformé l’incidence politique de ce signifiant.
Counterbalancing steps at random in a random walk
Authors: Bertoin Jean
Published: December 2023

A random walk with counterbalanced steps is a process of partial sums

\check S(n)=\check X_{1}+ \cdots + \check X_{n}

whose steps

\check X_{n}

are given recursively as follows. For each

n\geq 2

, with a fixed probability

p

,

\check X_{n}

is a new independent sample from some fixed law

\mu

, and with complementary probability

1-p

,

\check X_{n}= -\check X_{v(n)}

counterbalances a previous step, with

v(n)

a uniform random pick from

\{1, \ldots, n-\nobreak 1\}

. We determine the asymptotic behavior of

\check S(n)

in terms of

p

and the first two moments of

\mu

. Our approach relies on a coupling with a reinforcement algorithm due to H. A. Simon, and on properties of random recursive trees and Eulerian numbers, which may be of independent interest. The method can be adapted to the situation where the step distribution

\mu

belongs to the domain of attraction of a stable law.
Ouverture de ‘New Global Competitive Landscapes’
Authors: Brondoni Silvio M. , Musso Fabio
Published: December 2023

The continuation of the war in Ukraine and the appearance of the BRICS+ have consolidated some critical issues that appeared at the beginning of the war, including the rise in the prices of energy and food raw materials. In global markets, companies are nowadays exposed to a fierce competition and new socio-environmental forces on a vast scale. For global companies, the ongoing geopolitical changes increase corporate and network profit risks, but also represent new, great opportunities for corporate management on long-term trends.
