Large-Scale Cover Song Recognition Using the 2D Fourier Transform Magnitude
Creators: name: Ellis, Daniel P. W.
name: Thierry, Bertin-Mahieux
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 2012
Subjects: Electrical engineering

description: Large-scale cover song recognition involves calculating item-to-item similarities that can accommodate differences in timing and tempo, rendering simple Euclidean measures unsuitable. Expensive solutions such as dynamic time warping do not scale to million of instances, making them inappropriate for commercial-scale applications. In this work, we transform a beat-synchronous chroma matrix with a 2D Fourier transform and show that the resulting representation has properties that fit the cover song recognition task. We can also apply PCA to efficiently scale comparisons. We report the best results to date on the largest available dataset of around 18,000 cover songs amid one million tracks, giving a mean average precision of 3.0%.

description: It is known that solutions of Richardson equations can be represented as stationary points of the "energy" of classical free charges on the plane. We suggest to consider "probabilities" of the system of charges to occupy certain states in the configurational space at the effective temperature given by the interaction constant, which goes to zero in the thermodynamical limit. It is quite remarkable that the expression of "probability" has similarities with the square of Laughlin wave function. Next, we introduce the "partition function", from which the ground state energy of the initial quantum-mechanical system can be determined. The "partition function" is given by a multidimensional integral, which is similar to Selberg integrals appearing in conformal field theory and random-matrix models. As a first application of this approach, we consider a system with the constant density of energy states at arbitrary filling of the energy interval, where potential acts. In this case, the "partition function" is rather easily evaluated using properties of the Vandermonde matrix. Our approach thus yields quite simple and short way to find the ground state energy, which is shown to be described by a single expression all over from the dilute to the dense regime of pairs. It also provides additional insights into the physics of Cooper-paired states.

description: Background: Childhood cancer treatments include numerous negative physical and psychosocial outcomes. Preliminary evidence suggests cancer-related side effects may be reduced by physical activity (PA). Fortunately, early research supports the physical and psychosocial benefits of PA in childhood cancer survivors. However, only a handful of research studies have been translated into community-based PA programs. One of these community- based programs is the Pediatric Cancer Patients and Survivors Engaging in Exercise for Recovery (PEER) program. The next step in translation is to evaluate patient outcomes regarding PEER participation. Thus, the purpose of the current proposal was to determine applicable evidence-based evaluation tools for the PEER program. Methods: The knowledge- to-action framework was used to compile feasible and sustainable evaluation tools, along with an algorithm to determine which tools are appropriate in the assessment of each PEER participant. Specifically, (a) a scoping review determined evaluation tools used to date in childhood cancer PA/exercise programs and studies. Based on the results of this review, (b) interviews were conducted with key stakeholders to understand what they find valuable to evaluate in PEER. This work, along with the goals of the PEER program, (c) guided the development of the evaluation tools along with an algorithm for tool implementation based on participant age, cognitive and physical ability. Finally, (d) the evaluation tools were tested for feasibility in PEER. Conclusions: The present work was the first to establish evidence-based evaluation tools that are feasible for the community-based PEER program. Ongoing PEER evaluation may enhance program translation and support the sustainability.

description: Clocks are a mechanism for providing synchronization barriers in concurrent programming languages. They are usually implemented using primitive communication mechanisms and thus spare the programmer from reasoning about low-level implementation details such as remote procedure calls and error conditions. Clocks provide flexibility, but programs often use them in specific ways that do not require their full implementation. In this paper, we describe a tool that mitigates the overhead of general-purpose clocks by statically analyzing how programs use them and choosing optimized implementations when available. We tackle the clock implementation in the standard library of the X10 programming language—a parallel, distributed object-oriented language. We report our findings for a small set of analyses and benchmarks. Our tool only adds a few seconds to analysis time, making it practical to use as part of a compilation chain.

Entanglement of Stationary States in the Presence of Unstable Quasiparticles

description: The effect of unstable quasiparticles in the out-of-equilibrium dynamics of certain integrable systems has been the subject of several recent studies. In this paper we focus on the stationary value of the entanglement entropy density, its growth rate, and related functions, after a quantum quench. We consider several quenches, each of which is characterised by a corresponding squeezed coherent state. In the quench action approach, the coherent state amplitudes $K(θ)$ become input data that fully characterise the large-time stationary state, thus also the corresponding Yang-Yang entropy. We find that, as function of the mass of the unstable particle, the entropy growth rate has a global minimum signalling the depletion of entropy that accompanies a slowdown of stable quasiparticles at the threshold for the formation of an unstable excitation. We also observe a separation of scales governed by the interplay between the mass of the unstable particle and the quench parameter, separating a non-interacting regime described by free fermions from an interacting regime where the unstable particle is present. This separation of scales leads to a double-plateau structure of many functions, where the relative height of the plateaux is related to the ratio of central charges of the UV fixed points associated with the two regimes, in full agreement with conformal field theory predictions. The properties of several other functions of the entropy and its growth rate are also studied in detail, both for fixed quench parameter and varying unstable particle mass and viceversa.

description: A fundamental problem in modern thermodynamics is how a molecular-scale machine performs useful work, while operating away from thermal equilibrium without excessive dissipation. To this end, we derive a friction tensor that induces a Riemannian manifold on the space of thermodynamic states. Within the linear-response regime, this metric structure controls the dissipation of finite-time transformations, and bestows optimal protocols with many useful properties. We discuss the connection to the existing thermodynamic length formalism, and demonstrate the utility of this metric by solving for optimal control parameter protocols in a simple nonequilibrium model.

Promoting Bibliodiversity in Academic Publishing

description: Drawing from her monograph, Living Books. Experiments in the Posthumanities (MIT Press, 2021), and her research conducted as part of the Community-led Open Publication Infrastructures for Monographs (COPIM) project, Janneke Adema examines in this talk the potential futures of the scholarly monograph in an increasingly digital environment. With the demise of traditional gatekeepers and the introduction of new modes of publishing and distribution, conventional distinctions between publishing (as the activity of making information available to the public) and research are blurring, which has contributed to a raised awareness of when and why we publish (and for what reasons). In this context, this talk argues for the importance of experimenting with alternative ways of thinking and performing the academic monograph and the way it is disseminated. As such, it will discuss both conceptual experimentation with the ways in which publishing is organised and governed, by ways of the principle of 'scaling small'— as applied in various publishing projects and collectives that Adema supports — as well as material experimentation, especially in relation to the general trend towards living books and the iterative and dynamic publishing of open, distributed, differential, and versioned research, all experiments in knowledge production and dissemination that have the potential to critique our increasingly object-based and commodified scholarship. Adema argues how thinking about publishing as post-publishing highlights how publishing itself, and in particular the platforms on which we publish, should be conceived as an integral part of the research process, and as inherently shaping it.

description: It is critical for Romney that he use these months to continue to define himself to broader swaths of the American electorate, but, by failing to break through with a compelling reason for voters to pay attention to him, Romney has allowed Obama to do this instead. During the primaries, Romney consistently sought to present himself, with some success, as the voice of reason and maturity in a crowded Republican field. Now, because Gingrich, Santorum, and Romney's other foils are gone, Obama is the one defining Romney -- but as the out-of-touch rich guy who tied his dog to the roof of his car and who might or might not have gone after bin Laden. For Romney, this is much worse than drubbing Santorum or Ron Paul in a few states every week.
Self-Publication with Riot Grrrl Ideals: Zines ≠ Vanity Press Publications

description: Zines are self-published, but the motivation behind their publication is different than that driving many vanity press and chapbook authors. Punk rock and riot grrrl community ethos are fundamental to zines, not just as the cultures that birthed them in their current incarnation, but also as what separates them from other self-publications. By collecting and preserving zines, the non-music primary source of punk rock, librarians are documenting these movements in the participants’ own voices-the voices of those too young, too politically radical, too crust, and/or too bad mannered to appeal to the corporate media. It is important to notes that zine producers are not only people who have been relegated to the margins but also people who have chosen to claim the margins. In contrast to most writers, many zine producers might choose to reject and offer from a corporate publishing house. Why let someone else control what you can say, when you can do it yourself?
The focus of this essay is on print publications.

A Deterministic Multi-Way Rendezvous Library for Haskell

Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 2008
Subjects: Computer science

description: The advent of multicore processors requires mainstream concurrent programming languages with high level concurrency constructs and effective debugging techniques. Unfortunately, many concurrent programming languages are non-deterministic and allow data races. We present a deterministic concurrent communication library for an existing multi-threaded language. We implemented the SHIM communication model in the Haskell functional language, which supports asynchronous communication and transactional memory. The SHIM model uses multi-way rendezvous to guarantee determinism. We describe two implementations of the model in Haskell, demonstrating the ease of writing such a library. We illustrate our library with examples and experimentally compare two implementations. We also compare our new model with equivalent sequential programs and parallel versions using Haskell's existing concurrency mechanisms.
Monaural speech separation using source-adapted models

description: We propose a model-based source separation system for use on single channel speech mixtures where the precise source characteristics are not known a priori. We do this by representing the space of source variation with a parametric signal model based on the eigenvoice technique for rapid speaker adaptation. We present an algorithm to infer the characteristics of the sources present in a mixture, allowing for significantly improved separation performance over that obtained using unadapted source models. The algorithm is evaluated on the task defined in the 2006 Speech Separation Challenge [1] and compared with separation using source-dependent models.

description: Updating a previous analysis where we used elastic nuclear recoils we study the Migdal effect to extend to low WIMP masses the direct detection bounds to operators up to dimension 7 of the relativistic effective field theory describing WIMP interactions with quarks and gluons. To this aim we include in our analysis the data of the XENON1T, SuperCDMS, COSINE-100, and DarkSide-50 experiments and assume a standard Maxwellian for the WIMP velocity distribution. We find that the bounds can reach down to a WIMP mass $\simeq$20 MeV, although in the case of higher-dimension operators the energy scale of the ensuing constraints may be inconsistent with the validity of the effective theory.

description: Observational studies have revealed a "downsizing" trend in black hole (BH) growth: the number densities of luminous AGN peak at higher redshifts than those of faint AGN. This would seem to imply that massive black holes formed before low mass black holes, in apparent contradiction to hierarchical clustering scenarios. We investigate whether this observed "downsizing" in BH growth is reproduced in a semi-analytic model for the formation and evolution of galaxies and black holes, set within the hierarchical paradigm for structure formation (Somerville et al. 2008; S08). In this model, black holes evolve from light seeds (\sim100M\odot) and their growth is merger-driven. The original S08 model (baseline model) reproduces the number density of AGN at intermediate redshifts and luminosities, but underproduces luminous AGN at very high redshift (z > 3) and overproduces them at low redshift (z < 1). In addition, the baseline model underproduces low-luminosity AGN at low redshift (z < 1). To solve these problems we consider several modifications to the physical processes in the model: (1) a 'heavy' black hole seeding scenario (2) a sub-Eddington accretion rate ceiling that depends on the cold gas fraction, and (3) an additional black hole accretion mode due to disk instabilities. With these three modifications, the models can explain the observed downsizing, successfully reproduce the bolometric AGN luminosity function and simultaneously reproduce galaxy and black hole properties in the local Universe. We also perform a comparison with the observed soft and hard X-ray luminosity functions of AGN, including an empirical correction for torus-level obscuration, and reach similar conclusions. Our best-fit model suggests a scenario in which disk instabilities are the main driver for moderately luminous Seyfert galaxies at low redshift, while major mergers are the main trigger for luminous AGN.

Novel Regulators of Vascular Myogenic Tone: A Focus on SMTNL1 and ZIPK

description: Myogenic constriction in the resistance vasculature plays a fundamental role in the regulation of blood flow, maintenance of mean arterial pressure and in promoting overall cardiovascular health. Myogenic control of these arteries is an innate function of the vascular smooth muscle and is activated by pressure-dependent mechanisms of Ca2+-CaM-MLCK activation, Ca2+ sensitization and cytoskeletal reorganization. Recently, two proteins of interest to our research group were found to contribute to Ca2+ sensitization in vascular smooth muscle, smoothelin-like 1(SMTNL1) and zipper-interacting protein kinase (ZIPK). SMTNL1 is a relatively unknown protein which may act as an inhibitor of MLCP. ZIPK is a Ser/Thr kinase capable of phosphorylating LC20, MYPT1 and CPI-17 proteins among other targets. Neither SMTNL1 nor ZIPK has been previously investigated for a role in contributing to the regulation of the vascular myogenic response, and this investigation forms the core of this thesis. The findings presented here identify: (1) enhanced myogenic response in the mesenteric arteries of the male SMTNL1 KO mouse corresponding with (2) significant potential for Ca2+ sensitization via down regulation of MYPT1 and upregulation of CPI-17, and (3) the first evidence for ZIPK contribution to the vascular myogenic response of the rat cerebral and cremasteric arteries. While these findings were limited to the healthy vasculature, common chronic diseases such as hypertension and type 2 diabetes mellitus are known to be associated with pathological alterations in the myogenic response of the vasculature. Using a novel and specific ZIPK inhibitor, HS38, we identified a role for ZIPK activity in mediating some of the maladaptations of the vasculature in rodent models of hypertension (the SHR) and type 2 diabetes (the GK rat). In summary, these findings suggest both SMTNL1 and ZIPK play important roles in the regulation of healthy vascular function and may provide new avenues for exploration into the dysfunction of the vasculature in pathological conditions.

description: Detecting insider attacks continues to prove to be one of the most difficult challenges in securing sensitive data. Decoy information and documents represent a promising approach to detecting malicious masqueraders, however, false positives can interfere with legitimate work and take up user time. We propose generating foreign language decoy documents that are sprinkled with untranslatable enticing proper nouns such as company names, hot topics, or apparent login information. Our goal is for this type of decoy to serve three main purposes. First, using a language that is not used in normal business practice gives real users a clear signal that the document is fake, so they waste less time examining it. Second, an attacker, if enticed, will need to exfiltrate the document's contents in order to translate it, providing a cleaner signal of malicious activity. Third, we consume significant adversarial resources as they must still read the document and decide if it contains valuable information, which is made more difficult as it will be somewhat scrambled through translation. In this paper, we expand upon the rationale behind using foreign language decoys. We present a preliminary evaluation which shows how they significantly increase the cost to attackers in terms of the amount of time that it takes to determine if a document is real and potentially contains valuable information or is entirely bogus, confounding their goal of exfiltrating important sensitive information.
Asymptotic performance analysis for EGC and SC over arbitrarily correlated Nakagami-m fading channels
Creators: name: Li, Xianchang
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: The multi-branch diversity combining technique has been widely used in wireless communications systems to overcome the adverse effect of multipath fading. The three most popular diversity combining schemes are selection combining (SC), equal gain combining (EGC), and maximal ratio combining (MRC). In the performance analysis of multi-branch diversity combining, the asymptotic technique is an attractive approach to obtain compact and accurate error rate and outage probability in large signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) regions. Asymptotic performance can be obtained either in the time domain by finding the probability density function (PDF) of the instantaneous output SNR, or in the frequency domain by finding the moment generating function (MGF) of the square root of the instantaneous output SNR. In this thesis, the PDF of the instantaneous SNR at the output of selection combiner and the MGF of the square root of the instantaneous SNR at the output of equal gain combiner over arbitrarily correlated Nakagami-m fading channels are derived and used to obtain asymptotic error rate and outage probability expressions of SC and EGC, respectively. These expressions provide accurate and rapid estimation of error rates and outage probabilities. The accuracy of our analytical results is verified by computer simulation. More importantly, our analytical results provide physical insights into the transmission behavior of EGC and SC over arbitrarily correlated Nakagami-m fading channels. For instance, it is shown that the asymptotic error rates over correlated branches can be obtained by scaling the asymptotic error rates over independent branches with the factor which is the determinant of matrix M to the power m, where the elements of M are the square root of corresponding elements in the branch power covariance correlation matrix R. A similar relationship can also be found for the outage probabilities.

This is the first such device to be driven digitally, i.e., using a high voltage ($V_{pp} = \rm{400 \, V}$), wide bandwidth ($0.2 < f < 1.2 \, \rm{MHz}$) square-wave as compared to the typical sinusoidal wave form. Results from the commissioning of the device as well as systematic studies with stable and radioactive ions are presented including efficiency measurements with stable $^{133}$Cs and radioactive $^{124, 126}$Cs. A novel and unique mode of operation of this device is also demonstrated where the cooled ion bunches are extracted in reverse mode, i.e., in the same direction as previously injected.

description: We examine the endpoint region of inclusive deep inelastic scattering at next-to-leading power (NLP). Using a soft-collinear effective theory approach with no explicit soft or collinear modes, we discuss the factorization of the cross section at NLP and show that the overlap subtraction procedure introduced to eliminate double counting of degrees of freedom at leading power ensures that spurious endpoint divergences in the rate cancel at NLP at one loop. For this cancellation to occur at all renormalization scales a nontrivial relation between the anomalous dimensions of the leading and subleading operators is required, which is demonstrated to hold at one loop.

description: Just as errors in sequential programs can lead to security exploits, errors in concurrent programs can lead to concurrency attacks. Questions such as whether these attacks are real and what characteristics they have remain largely unknown. In this paper, we present a preliminary study of concurrency attacks and the security implications of real concurrency errors. Our study yields several interesting findings. For instance, we observe that the exploitability of a concurrency error depends on the duration of the timing window within which the error may occur. We further observe that attackers can increase this window through carefully crafted inputs. We also find that four out of five commonly used sequential defense mechanisms become unsafe when applied to concurrent programs. Based on our findings, we propose new defense directions and fixes to existing defenses.
Friendship Qualities and Their Associations with Social, Emotional, and Behavioural Functioning in Military-Connected Youth
Creators: name: Wheeler, Bailey Kathleen
Publisher: name: Graduate Studies
Year: 2018
Subjects: subject: Educational Psychology
subject: Military Studies
subject: Mental Health

description: The present study examined the best friendships and the social, emotional, and behavioural functioning of youth from Canadian military families. Further, it examined how the positive and negative qualities of these friendships were related to the behavioural and mental health outcomes measured. Online surveys were administered to 31 military-connected youth to assess internalizing, externalizing, overall problems, and the characteristics and qualities of their best friendships. The results revealed that the average scores for all outcomes were comparable to civilian peers. However, a large minority of participants had elevated internalizing scores. Further, it was found that the best friendships of these military-connected youth were characterized by more positive qualities than negative qualities. Finally, both positive and negative friendship qualities predicted externalizing scores, but they did not predict internalizing scores. Interpretations, implications and limitation of these findings are presented, as are suggestions for future research.

Fractional-Time Schrödinger Equation: Fractional Dynamics on a Comb

description: The physical relevance of the fractional time derivative in quantum mechanics is discussed. It is shown that the introduction of the fractional time Scrödinger equation (FTSE) in quantum mechanics by analogy with the fractional diffusion $\frac{\prt}{\prt t}\rightarrow \frac{\prt^α}{\prt t^α}$ can lead to an essential deficiency in the quantum mechanical description, and needs special care. To shed light on this situation, a quantum comb model is introduced. It is shown that for $α=1/2$, the FTSE is a particular case of the quantum comb model. This \textit{exact} example shows that the FTSE is insufficient to describe a quantum process, and the appearance of the fractional time derivative by a simple change $\frac{\prt}{\prt t}\rightarrow \frac{\prt^α}{\prt t^α}$ in the Schrödinger equation leads to the loss of most of the information about quantum dynamics.
Made in China: An Examination of Identity, Gender, and Acculturation

description: Made in China examines my inner journey since I moved to Canada from China in September 2016. In this series, I am investigating my ongoing negotiation of identity and gender norms as I acculturate to my new setting in Canada. Incorporating autoethnography with studio-based art practice and research, I have photographed myself to create a female figure to visualize the tensions between Chinese and Western constructions of ideal femininity. Through being both the photographer (i.e., the speaking subject), and the model (i.e., the spoken about object), I explore the potential of using self-portraits as my contribution to the discourse of female empowerment. My photographic research represents my exploration of self-identity, female sexuality, and female subjectivity.

description: An independent derivation of solutions to the Camassa-Holm equation in terms of multi-dimensional theta functions is presented using an approach based on Fay's identities. Reality and smoothness conditions are studied for these solutions from the point of view of the topology of the underlying real hyperelliptic surface. The solutions are studied numerically for concrete examples, also in the limit where the surface degenerates to the Riemann sphere, and where solitons and cuspons appear.

Charge distribution and spin textures in magic-angle twisted bilayer graphene

description: We examine the coexisting spin and charge density waves as a possible ground state of the magic-angle twisted bilayer graphene. When interactions are not included, the spectrum of the material has 4 (8 if spin is taken into account) almost flat almost degenerate bands. Interactions break down the degeneracy forming an order parameter which is usually assumed to be a spin density wave with a preset spin structure. Here we take into account a possible charge density wave contribution to the order parameter, that is, inhomogeneous distribution of the charge density within a twisted graphene supercell. We also calculate self-consistently the spin structure of the order parameter. We find that the density wave order is stable in the whole doping range from $-4$ to $+4$ extra electrons per supercell. The spin texture changes from collinear at zero doping to almost coplanar at finite doping. The density wave order shows nematic distortion when we dope the system. We demonstrate that the local spin magnetization is much stronger than the charge density variation, unless the doping exceeds $3$ extra electrons or holes per supercell.
