description: Recent advances in neural text-to-speech (TTS) models bring thousands of TTS applications into daily life, where models are deployed in cloud to provide services for customs. Among these models are diffusion probabilistic models (DPMs), which can be stably trained and are more parameter-efficient compared with other generative models. As transmitting data between customs and the cloud introduces high latency and the risk of exposing private data, deploying TTS models on edge devices is preferred. When implementing DPMs onto edge devices, there are two practical problems. First, current DPMs are not lightweight enough for resource-constrained devices. Second, DPMs require many denoising steps in inference, which increases latency. In this work, we present LightGrad, a lightweight DPM for TTS. LightGrad is equipped with a lightweight U-Net diffusion decoder and a training-free fast sampling technique, reducing both model parameters and inference latency. Streaming inference is also implemented in LightGrad to reduce latency further. Compared with Grad-TTS, LightGrad achieves 62.2% reduction in paramters, 65.7% reduction in latency, while preserving comparable speech quality on both Chinese Mandarin and English in 4 denoising steps.

description: The dynamics defined by a force field which is positively homogeneous of degree $-3$ can always be reduced, by simply constraining it. The dimension of the phase space is reduced by two dimensions, while it may only be reduced by one dimension if the degree of homogeneity is different from $-3$. This remark is an elegant foundation of Appell's projective dynamics. We show how it relates to Knörrer's remark on the correspondence between the Neumann potential on a sphere and the geodesic motion on an ellipsoid.

Being Adolescent Inmates in Juvenile Penal Institutions During the Pandemic

Publisher: name: Critical Hermeneutics

description: Durante il tempo della pandemia, uno dei contesti di vita che è passato sotto il silenzio collettivo è stato quello penitenziario. Il tempo della reclusione è un tempo dedicato alla rieducazione, alla possibilità di sviluppare conoscenze e competenze che possano offrire una nuova prospettiva con cui guardare il proprio ruolo nel mondo. Nell’età adolescenziale il carcere è una misura estrema che mira proprio a cercare di dare una risposta educativa e trasformativa, attraverso le attività culturali, artistiche, scolastiche. Un contatto con il mondo della formazione in senso ampio e della scuola più nello specifico, che permette agli adolescenti reclusi di entrare in dinamica con adulti significativi e di vivere processi di insegnamento-apprendimento di valore, soprattutto attraverso la relazione educativa e le competenze emotivo-affettive che la caratterizzano. Durante la pandemia questo delicato percorso rieducativo si è fermato e con esso tutte le diverse dimensioni relazionali, lasciando gli adolescenti in uno stato di deprivazione emotiva profonda e in uno stato di isolamento doloroso. Se ciò che è avvenuto non si può cambiare, può essere motivo di riflessione per rileggere il valore dell’affettività nelle relazioni e da qui ripartire per definire un nuovo modo di costruire le dinamiche educative. Parole chiave: pandemia e isolamento in carcere, affettività nella relazione educativa, processi di insegnamento-apprendimento nel carcere minorile

description: To advance our understanding of Quantum Cellular Automata in problem solving through parallel and distributed computing, this research quantized the density classification problem and adopted the Quantum Particle Automata (QPA) to solve the quantized problem. In order to solve this problem, the QPA needed a unitary operator to carry out the QPA evolution and a boundary partition to make the classification decisions. We designed a Genetic Algorithm (GA) to search for the unitary operators and the boundary partitions to classify the density of binary inputs with length 5. The GA was able to find more than one unitary operator that can transform the QPA in ways such that when the particle was measured, it was more likely to collapse to the basis states that were on the correct side of the boundary partition for the QPA to decide if the binary input had majority density 0 or majority density 1. We analyzed these solutions and found that the QPA evolution dynamic was driven by a particular parameter $θ$ of the unitary operator: a small $θ$ gave the particle small mass hence fast evolution while large $θ$ had the opposite effect. While these results are encouraging, scaling these solutions for binary inputs of arbitrary length of $n$ requires additional analysis, which we will investigate in our future work.

description: Il contributo analizza le condizioni di vita attuali dei detenuti nelle carceri italiane, tentando di mettere in evidenza le principali problematiche e difficoltà che si trovano a vivere le persone ristrette e chi opera negli Istituti penitenziari e affrontando il tema della richiesta di suicidio assistito in carcere. La pena detentiva, come noto, incide profondamente nella vita del condannato, privato della propria libertà personale. Nonostante tale “sofferenza” inflitta dalla pena, al carcerato dovrebbe essere sempre garantito il rispetto della dignità umana. Tale rispetto della dignità, nonostante le cadute e le fragilità, dovrebbe orientare tutta la “vicenda” penale e, in particolare, l’esecuzione della pena. La pandemia ha, invece, aumentato le disuguaglianze già presenti e le difficoltà, anche relazionali, di chi vive nel carcere, rendendo sempre più urgenti interventi, non solo legislativi, per rendere effettivo quanto disposto dal terzo comma dell’art. 27 della Costituzione e rispettare la dignità del detenuto, che neanche la pena può sopprimere Parole chiave: detenuti, carcere, suicidio, dignità, diritti fondamentali

description: Wall painting is an important aspect of Middle to Late Bronze Age art in the Aegean. The Mycenaean frescoes on the mainland are typically portrayed as a decadent form of art, declined in quality from their Minoan predecessors. Furthermore, Mycenaeans are often thought to have misunderstood Minoan motifs. In this thesis, following description and analysis of the Minoan frescoes from Knossos and Akrotiri, and the Mycenaean frescoes from Pylos and Mycenae, I argue that Mycenaean elites consciously made Minoan art their own. The technology and iconography of wall painting was adapted for use within their own culture and social structure. Wall paintings are also situated within broader discourses on the function of palaces and the transfer of culture.
Statistical Modeling and Estimation of Censored Pathloss Data

description: Pathloss is typically modeled using a log-distance power law with a large-scale fading term that is log-normal. However, the received signal is affected by the dynamic range and noise floor of the measurement system used to sound the channel, which can cause measurement samples to be truncated or censored. If the information about the censored samples are not included in the estimation method, as in ordinary least squares estimation, it can result in biased estimation of both the pathloss exponent and the large scale fading. This can be solved by applying a Tobit maximum-likelihood estimator, which provides consistent estimates for the pathloss parameters. This letter provides information about the Tobit maximum-likelihood estimator and its asymptotic variance under certain conditions.

Improved Guarantees for Learning via Similarity Functions

description: We continue the investigation of natural conditions
for a similarity function to allow learning, without
requiring the similarity function to be a valid kernel,
or referring to an implicit high-dimensional
space. We provide a new notion of a “good similarity
function” that builds upon the previous definition
of Balcan and Blum (2006) but improves
on it in two important ways. First, as with the previous
definition, any large-margin kernel is also a
good similarity function in our sense, but the translation
now results in a much milder increase in the
labeled sample complexity. Second, we prove that
for distribution-specific PAC learning, our new notion
is strictly more powerful than the traditional
notion of a large-margin kernel. In particular, we
show that for any hypothesis class C there exists
a similarity function under our definition allowing
learning with O(log |C|) labeled examples. However,
in a lower bound which may be of independent
interest, we show that for any class C of pairwise
uncorrelated functions, there is no kernelwith
margin γ ≥ 8√|C| for all f ∈ C, even if one
allows average hinge-loss as large as 0.5. Thus,
the sample complexity for learning such classes
with SVMs is Ω(|C|). This extends work of Ben-
David et al. (2003) and Forster and Simon (2006)
who give hardness results with comparablemargin
bounds, but at much lower error rates.

Our new notion of similarity relies upon L1 regularized
learning, and our separation result is related
to a separation result between what is learnable
with L1 vs. L2 regularization.

description: For text-to-speech (TTS) synthesis, prosodic structure prediction (PSP) plays an important role in producing natural and intelligible speech. Although inter-utterance linguistic information can influence the speech interpretation of the target utterance, previous works on PSP mainly focus on utilizing intrautterance linguistic information of the current utterance only. This work proposes to use inter-utterance linguistic information to improve the performance of PSP. Multi-level contextual information, which includes both inter-utterance and intrautterance linguistic information, is extracted by a hierarchical encoder from character level, utterance level and discourse level of the input text. Then a multi-task learning (MTL) decoder predicts prosodic boundaries from multi-level contextual information. Objective evaluation results on two datasets show that our method achieves better F1 scores in predicting prosodic word (PW), prosodic phrase (PPH) and intonational phrase (IPH). It demonstrates the effectiveness of using multi-level contextual information for PSP. Subjective preference tests also indicate the naturalness of synthesized speeches are improved.

In this paper, we continue the enquiry of such pairs, focusing on the description of the second component, as a follow-up of the study in [arXiv:1605.05458]. As such, we introduce Koszul corings and prove several equivalent characterizations for them. As applications, in the case of locally finite $R$-rings, we show that a graded $R$-ring is Koszul if and only if its left (or right) graded dual coring is Koszul. Finally, for finite graded posets, we obtain that the respective incidence ring is Koszul if and only if the incidence coring is so.

description: We contribute a method for improving the skill execution performance of a robot by complementing an existing algorithmic solution with corrective human demonstration. We apply the proposed method to the biped walking problem, which is a good example of a complex low level skill due to the complicated dynamics of the walk process in a high dimensional state and action space. We introduce an incremental learning approach to improve the Nao humanoid robot’s stability during walking. First, we identify, extract, and record a complete walk cycle from the motion of the robot as it executes a given walk algorithm as a black box. Second, we apply offline advice operators for improving the stability of the learned open-loop walk cycle. Finally, we present an algorithm to directly modify the recorded walk cycle using real time corrective human demonstration. The demonstrator delivers the corrective feedback using a commercially available wireless game controller without touching the robot. Through the proposed algorithm, the robot learns a closed-loop correction policy for the open-loop walk by mapping the corrective demonstrations to the sensory readings received while walking. Experiment results demonstrate a significant improvement in the walk stability.

La sospensione, lo smarrimento e la precarietà della vita in carcere mostrano comunque alcuni degli imprescindibili elementi che rendono degna e autentica l’esistenza, come se nel Carcere vedessimo il negativo della vita stessa e una grande metafora cosmica per cui Pavese ci indica alcuni rimedi e considerazioni.

description: We use the fundamental parameters delivered by the GES consortium in the first internal data release to select the members of $γ$ Vel and Cha I among the UVES and GIRAFFE spectroscopic observations. A total of 140 $γ$ Vel members and 74 Cha I members were studied. We calculated stellar luminosities through spectral energy distributions, while stellar masses were derived by comparison with evolutionary tracks. The spectral subtraction of low-activity and slowly rotating templates, which are rotationally broadened to match the $v\sin i$ of the targets, enabled us to measure the equivalent widths (EWs) and the fluxes in the H$α$ and H$β$ lines. The H$α$ line was also used for identifying accreting objects and for evaluating the mass accretion rate ($\dot M_{\rm acc}$). The distribution of $v\sin i$ for the members of $γ$ Vel displays a peak at about 10 km s$^{-1}$ with a tail toward faster rotators. There is also some indication of a different $v\sin i$ distribution for the members of its two kinematical populations. Only a handful of stars in $γ$ Vel display signatures of accretion, while many more accretors were detected in the younger Cha~I. Accreting and active stars occupy two different regions in a $T_{\rm eff}$-flux diagram and we propose a criterion for distinguishing them. We derive $\dot M_{\rm acc}$ in the ranges $10^{-11}$-$10^{-9} M_\odot$yr$^{-1}$ and $10^{-10}$-$10^{-7} M_\odot$yr$^{-1}$ for $γ$ Vel and Cha I accretors, respectively. We find less scatter in the $\dot M_{\rm acc}-M_\star$ relation derived through the H$α$ EWs, when compared to the H$α$ $10\%W$ diagnostics, in agreement with other authors.

description: Detection of tumors in metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) plays an essential role in the early diagnosis and treatment of liver cancer. Deep learning models backboned by fully convolutional neural networks (FCNNs) have become the dominant model for segmenting 3D computerized tomography (CT) scans. However, since their convolution layers suffer from limited kernel size, they are not able to capture long-range dependencies and global context. To tackle this restriction, vision transformers have been introduced to solve FCNN's locality of receptive fields. Although transformers can capture long-range features, their segmentation performance decreases with various tumor sizes due to the model sensitivity to the input patch size. While finding an optimal patch size improves the performance of vision transformer-based models on segmentation tasks, it is a time-consuming and challenging procedure. This paper proposes a technique to select the vision transformer's optimal input multi-resolution image patch size based on the average volume size of metastasis lesions. We further validated our suggested framework using a transfer-learning technique, demonstrating that the highest Dice similarity coefficient (DSC) performance was obtained by pre-training on training data with a larger tumour volume using the suggested ideal patch size and then training with a smaller one. We experimentally evaluate this idea through pre-training our model on a multi-resolution public dataset. Our model showed consistent and improved results when applied to our private multi-resolution mCRC dataset with a smaller average tumor volume. This study lays the groundwork for optimizing semantic segmentation of small objects using vision transformers.

Das Ziel ist es, einen Überblick über Erkennungsmerkmale und Handlungsmöglichkeiten für Schulen zusammenzustellen. Die Basis für diese empirische Arbeit sind fünf fokussierte Interviews. Die Daten wurden mit Hilfe eines Kategoriensystems qualitativ analysiert. Durch eine Verknüpfung der Ergebnisse mit der erarbeiteten Theorie, wurden Wahrnehmungsmuster und Interventionsmöglichkeiten ausgearbeitet. Die Ergebnisse stimmten grösstenteils mit der Annahme der Theorie überein. Die Schlussfolgerung, dass betroffene Kinder oft zu spät erkannt werden, konnte damit begründet werden, dass die Ausbildung von Lehrpersonen zu wenig auf diese Thematik vorbereitet und dass die interdisziplinäre Zusammenarbeit nicht ausreichend stattfindet. Die Wichtigkeit dieser Thematik wird bestätigt und ladet zu einer Weiterarbeit ein.

description: We have performed a study of several cesium oven designs. A comparison between recirculating (or sticking-wall) or collimating (or reemitting-wall) ovens is made in order to extract the most efficient design in terms of beam brightness. Unfortunately, non-reproducible behaviors have been observed, and the most often observed output flux is similar to the sticking-wall case, which is the lowest theoretical value of the two cases, with a beam brightness close to $10^{18}$ at.sr$^{-1}$.s$^{-1}$.cm$^{-2}$. The reason of this universally observed behavior is unclear despite having tested several materials for the collimating tube. Conclusion on possible improved design based on sticking of cesium on several (un)cleaned surface is given.

description: Instructional Design aspires to define a sound curriculum by using instructional analysis and concept organization. Along with other criteria, the purpose of instructional design is to ensure integrity among instructional objectives, tasks that students must perform, and the evaluation of their performance. Currently, the methods used in instructional design models have a limited scientific basis. Even with many efforts towards a science of instruction, this goal remains elusive. Computers may provide a positive shift towards systematic and verifiable instructional analysis with the advent of intelligent tutoring systems and the byproducts of their development. One such system, the Piano Tutor, has led to a formal model for curriculum design and analysis and is described in detail.

description: We consider a category whose morphisms are bordisms of $n$-dimensional pseudomanifolds equipped with a certain additional structure (coloring). On the other hand, we consider the product $G$ of $(n+1)$ copies of infinite symmetric group. We show that unitary representations of $G$ produce functors from the category of $(n-1)$-dimensional bordisms to the category of Hilbert spaces and bounded linear operators.

description: Software internationalization, the process of making software easier to localize for specific languages, has  deep implications when applied to speech technology, where the goal of the task lies in the very essence of the particular language.

A great deal of work and fine-tuning normally goes into the development of speech software for a single language, say English. This tuning complicates a port to different languages. The inherent identity of a language manifests itself in its lexicon, where its character set, phoneme set, pronunciation rules are revealed. We propose a decomposition of the lexicon building process, into four discrete and sequential steps:

(a) Transliteration code points from Unicode.
(b) Orthographic standardization rules.
(c) Application of grapheme to phoneme rules.
(d) Application of phonological rules.

In following these steps one should gain accessibility to most of the existing speech/language processing tools, thereby internationalizing one's speech technology. In addition, adhering to this decomposition should allow for a reduction of rule conflicts that often plague the phoneticizing process.

Our work makes two main contributions: it proposes a systematic procedure for the internationalization of  automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems. It also proposes a particular decomposition of the phoneticization process that facilitates internationalization by non-expert informants.

description: The course “Introduction to Computer Systems” at Carnegie
Mellon University presents the underlying principles by
which programs are executed on a computer. It provides
broad coverage of processor operation, compilers, operating
systems, and networking. Whereas most systems courses
present material from the perspective of one who designs
or implements part of the system, our course presents the
view visible to application programmers. Students learn that,
by understanding aspects of the underlying system, they can
make their programs faster and more reliable. This approach
provides immediate benefits for all computer science and
engineering students and also prepares them for more advanced
systems courses. We have taught our course for five
semesters with enthusiastic responses by the students, the instructors,
and the instructors of subsequent systems courses.

description: Diese Literaturarbeit vergleicht mittels der Hermeneutik zwei evidenzbasierte Handlungsmodelle, die Antworten zum Umgang mit herausforderndem (externalisierendem und internalisierendem) Verhalten liefern.
 Die Positive Verhaltensunterstützung (PVU) geht davon aus, dass herausforderndes Verhalten die Funktion einer subjektiven Mitteilung hat. Ein Unterstützerkreis bildet eine Hypothese und entwickelt daraus ein stärkenorientiertes Unterstützungsprogramm. Bei den Kollaborativen & Proaktiven Lösungen (KPL) geht man davon aus, dass fehlende kognitive Kompetenzen ein Kind vor Probleme stellen, die es herausfordern. Man sucht mit ihm in einem dreistufigen Gespräch nach Lösungen.
 Beide Modelle betonen eine professionelle Haltung, die pädagogische Beziehung, präventive und nicht strafende Interventionen. Sie beziehen betroffene Kinder sowie das Umfeld in den Lösungsprozess mit ein.

description: Terrorism has become a worldwide plague with severe consequences for the development of nations. Besides killing innocent people daily and preventing educational activities from taking place, terrorism is also hindering economic growth. Machine Learning (ML) and Natural Language Processing (NLP) can contribute to fighting terrorism by predicting in real-time future terrorist attacks if accurate data is available. This paper is part of a research project that uses text from social networks to extract necessary information to build an adequate dataset for terrorist attack prediction. We collected a set of 3000 social network texts about terrorism in Burkina Faso and used a subset to experiment with existing NLP solutions. The experiment reveals that existing solutions have poor accuracy for location recognition, which our solution resolves. We will extend the solution to extract dates and action information to achieve the project's goal.

description: We contribute a novel algorithm for aligning and stitching non-overlapping 3D meshes. Mesh aligning and stitching are often combined to construct a complete 3D model of an object. There are standard algorithms that address this task for the case of overlapping meshes, i.e., meshes that share common parts of a given object. The overlap allows the registration and alignment of different meshes. The algorithm here proposed, Joint Alignment and Stitching of Non-Overlapping Meshes (JASNOM), addresses the case when the overlap is not possible due to acquisition or application constraints. JASNOM takes advantage that both meshes can only be connected by their boundary to reframe the alignment problem as a search of the best assignment between boundary vertices. Given an assignment, the boundaries can be aligned with a rigid transformation that aligns the two boundaries by minimizing the distance between corresponding vertices while preventing the meshes from intersecting. However, not all assignments are valid. The boundaries are oriented curves and assignments between the two boundaries must preserve the order of the vertices. JASNOM takes advantage of the reduced number of order preserving assignments to perform exhaustive search for the best assignment. The outcome of the search is not only the assignment between points in the boundaries, but also the rigid transformation that aligns the two meshes. After alignment, meshes can then be stitched by using the assignment between vertices. One of the applications we envision for JASNOM is the modeling of 3D objects retrieved from range cameras that cannot overlap such as the Kinect camera. Another possible use of JASNOM is to fill holes in a mesh using parts of other meshes

description: Die vorliegende Masterarbeit hat das Ziel Möglichkeiten für die Integration von Jugendlichen mit Autismus-Spektrum-Störung mit dem Fokus auf das Asperger-Syndrom und hochfunktionalem Autismus, darzustellen. Dafür erfolgte eine Literaturrecherche rund um das Thema Autismus. Bei dieser Autismus-Spektrum-Störung handelt es sich um eine komplexe neurologische Entwicklungsstörung mit vielfältigen Ausprägungen. Bei einer Integration in eine Oberstufe stellt dies Lehrpersonen vor besondere Herausforderungen, zum einen durch den autismusspezifischen Förderbedarf und zum anderen durch die Besonderheiten des Jugendalters. Es werden Gelingungsbedingungen für eine Integration sowie Möglichkeiten zur Förderung aufgezeigt. Dies führt zu einer Zusammenführung der gewonnen Erkenntnisse, in welcher Möglichkeiten für beteiligte Personen, für Klassenlehrpersonen, für SHPs sowie für die Zusammenarbeit dargestellt werden.

description: The unparalleled photometric data obtained by NASA's Kepler Space Telescope has led to improved understanding of red-giant stars and binary stars. We discuss the characterization of known eccentric system, containing a solar-like oscillating red-giant primary component. We also report several new binary systems that are candidates for hosting an oscillating companion. A powerful approach to study binary stars is to combine asteroseimic techniques with light curve fitting. Seismology allows us to deduce the properties of red giants. In addition, by modeling the ellipsoidal modulations we can constrain the parameters of the binary system. An valuable independent source are ground-bases, high-resolution spectrographs.
