Decisions in thesaurus construction and use
Creators: name: Losee, Jr.,
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2007

description: A thesaurus and an ontology provide a set of structured terms, phrases, and metadata, often in a hierarchical arrangement, that may be used to index, search, and mine documents. We describe the decisions that should be made when including a term, deciding whether a term should be subdivided into its subclasses, or determining which of more than one set of possible subclasses should be used. Based on retrospective measurements or estimates of future performance when using thesaurus terms in document ordering, decisions are made so as to maximize performance. These decisions may be used in the automatic construction of a thesaurus. The evaluation of an existing thesaurus is described, consistent with the decision criteria developed here. These kinds of user-focused decision-theoretic techniques may be applied to other hierarchical applications, such as faceted classification systems used in information architecture or the use of hierarchical terms in "breadcrumb navigation."

Learning Sound Representations Using Triplet-loss
Creators: name: Mametani, Kohki
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2020
Subjects: Sound representation, Similarity learning, Triplet loss

description: Sound representations play an important role in audio information retrieval. Good representations e˙ectively reduce the data size of audio recordings while keeping the acoustic and/or semantic characteristics. Recent studies have demonstrated that machine learning approaches which rely on large sound collections successfully learn such representations. However, these approaches come with a few drawbacks such as the complexity of building a taxonomy, the cost of sound annotation, and the diÿculty to utilize multi-labelled annotation. In this work, we aim to address the issues by a similarity learning framework. We employ triplet loss in which our sound representations are optimized directly using a distance measure. This allows for more e˙ective use of user-made and multi-labelled sound descriptions from online sound collections and removes the need for a taxonomy. Furthermore, by adjusting the triplet loss with a natural language processing technique, we investigate the benefit of word representations of sound descriptions to make our sound representations semantically rich. Experimental results revealed that the sound representations we learned in similarity learning achieved the performance almost equal to the state-of-the-art model in a clustering task, even when we used a limited amount of training data. On the other hand, we also found a few drawbacks of our learning strategy such as the poor performance in a discriminative task.

Publisher: name: Zenodo

Subjects: Transformer-XL, Automated Music Generation, Rhythm Generation

description: We propose a novel approach to automated rhythm generation in which a Transformer XL model is employed to model and generate rhythm from the Magenta Groove MIDI Dataset. Recent applications of this high-dimensional language framework in the field of music have demonstrated it’s ability to effectively capture and emulate long-term dependency in musical sequences - dependencies characteristic of human notions of musicality and creative merit - making it an ideal candidate to experiment with for the task of rhythm-specific generation. We evaluate hundreds of generations from our optimum model using a variety of methods; probabilistic, musicological and in blind listening tests to determine the extent to which our framework has learnt and reproduced the aspects of rhythm we understand to be valuable. Our model is able to achieve a standard of rhythmic production comparable to human playing across arbitrarily long time periods and multiple playing styles.

description: The main goal of the paper is to establish time semidiscrete and space-time fully discrete maximal parabolic regularity for the time discontinuous Galerkin solution of linear parabolic equations. Such estimates have many applications. They are essential, for example, for establishing optimal a priori error estimates in non- Hilbertian norms without unnatural coupling of spatial mesh sizes with time steps.

description: Study H: Our main question is whether adults treat partial satisfaction of a given criteria (e.g. being an X (one))as "correct" behavior? And do they do this varyingly for nominals and maximal GAs? Design Task: Agent-selection Task, where participants decide which of two characters carried out an action. Conditions: Category -- nominal/adjective -- was a between-subjects factor. For both groups, there were three trial types: (i) Accuracy trials, aimed at establishing which of the two characters typically carry out a request accurately. (ii) Control trials: sanity-check trials to ensure that the "accurate" character is chosen when the request was straightforwardly carried out, and that the "inaccurate" character is chosen when it was not. (iii) Critical trials: two levels -- maximal (whole object for nom; object satisfying the property maximally for adj) vs. nonmaximal (partial object for nom; object only partly satisfying the property for adj)

description: Diese theoriegeleitete Fallstudie geht der Frage nach, inwieweit sich das Requirements Engineering (RE) in einem Software-Entwicklungsprozess mit den Konzepten des Domain-Driven Designs (DDD) vereinbaren lässt. Die per Interview und teilnehmender Beobachtung erhobenen Daten wurden gemäß der qualitativen Inhaltsanalyse nach Gläser und Laudel ausgewertet. Der theoretische Rahmen gibt einen Überblick über die wichtigsten Konzepte des Domain-Driven Designs sowie über das Requirements Engineering, mit Fokus auf der Requirements-Analyse, skizziert Möglichkeiten der Integration des RE in das DDD und stellt Scrum als Vorgehensweise vor. Die Interviews zeigen, dass dem Projektteam sowohl die Ziele als auch die Produktvision unklar sind und dies zu Verunsicherung und Orientierungslosigkeit im Team führt. Das Requirements Engineering in der Rolle als Mittelsmann zwischen Fachbereich und Entwicklungsteam wird als problematisch eingestuft, da das Domänen-Wissen auf RE-Seite oft nicht ausreicht und der Abstimmungsaufwand durch Dreiecksdiskussionen steigt. Dies erschwert die Formulierung und Nutzung einer Ubiquitous Language und die Modellierung des Domänenmodells. Ist der Domänenexperte gleichzeitig in der Rolle des Product Owners tätig, entsteht zudem ein Rollen- und Interessenkonflikt, der eine DDD-Herangehensweise erschwert. Ergebnis der Arbeit ist, dass das Requirements Engineering als Vermittler sich nicht mit DDD vereinbaren lässt, aber unterstützende Funktionen einnehmen kann. Als Handlungsempfehlung kann daraus abgeleitet werden, Situationen zu vermeiden, in denen das Requirements Engineering im Widerspruch zum Domain-Driven Design steht, und Probleme im Entwicklungsprozess mit DDD zu beheben. Methoden und Techniken dafür werden vorgestellt. Die Arbeit ist für Personen interessant, die Aufgaben des Requirements Engineerings in DDD-basierten Entwicklungsprojekten wahrnehmen, also beispielsweise Projektleiter, Product Owner, Requirements Engineers oder Business Analysten.
Zero-shot Singing Voice Conversion
Creators: name: Apisov, Pavlo
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2020
Subjects: singing voice, voice conversion, zero-shot conversion

description: The task of Singing Voice Conversion(SVC) is to transform the voice of one singer(source) to someone else voice(target) yet preserving the content. Voice Conversion(VC) is well studied for speech but a relatively less explored topic in the context of the singing voice. While VC involves both changes in timbre and expression, modeled via fundamental frequency(F0) and timing; in the case of singing, the timing and pitch are constrained by a musical score and thereby, common algorithms designed for speech only, cannot be used directly to transform singing voice due to the lack of constraint on the melody in the system. We adapt a recently proposed state of the art system for speech VC to the case of singing VC. The system takes as input audio samples of the source and target singers and separates the content to preserve(lyrics, F0, and rhythm) from the singer-dependent content to transform(timbre). Then, the conversion is realized by re-synthesizing lyrics and melody of the source singer with the target singer’s timbre which is encoded using neural network embeddings. Thus, our system performs timbre conversion only and preserves the melody and expression from the source track. But we also try to perform zero-shot voice con-version which is a special case of VC when converting happens between voices that were not present in the training data i.e, conversion can be done between any two voices. We focus as well on how various algorithms for generating speaker/singer embeddings a˙ects the quality of our system in the context of zero-shot SVC.

TURBOPUMPS

description: The centrifugal turbine has recently elicited the interest of the engineering community. Its particular architecture permits expansion of energized centrifugal flow entailing rotation of concentric rings of airfoil-shaped blades. Figure 1: Example of a multi-stage centrifugal turbine serving in an ORC powerplant. Courtesy of Exergy SpA.6 Only recently, general studies on design,10 aerodynamics8 and optimisation9 drawing on methods and expertise of axial turbines have been performed. The latter can be rationalized by the loss of past knowledge of the centrifugal turbine, the bladings resemblance of both axial and centrifugal architectures and mostly provide useful guidelines in selection of design parameters. The current over-reliance on axial turbine technologies is deemed to provoke serious issues since the axial and centrifugal turbines differ intrinsically in their aerodynamics despite their outer resemblance. Hereby, this study would investigate the suitability of axial turbine design parameters in design of centrifugal turbines by means of credible 3D numerical simulations. Two key parameters are targeted and addressed in the current paper, these are the solidity or pitch-chord ratio and meanline radius ratio. Firstly, two HP and LP axial turbines3, 11 are taken from open literature. These are successively partitioned into individual cascades and transformed to centrifugal configuration through conformal mapping.1 Next with the test cases at disposition, their pitch-chord and meanline radius ratio are both varied by 5%, 10% and 15%. Then, the simulations are carried out in the second order commercial CFD package NUMECA Fine/Turbo.7 From the previous study, it is inferred that the numerical scheme has to be combined with the Separation Sensitive Corrected Explicit Algebraic Reynolds Stress Model7 (SSC-EARSM) for turbine performance estimation.5 Eventually, the performance of the centrifugal cascades with a particular emphasis on the loss and deviation, is assessed. The results are compared to the empirical charts of Ainley Mathieson,12 Traupel,13 Denton4 and results of Casati et al.2 to determine the adequacy of axial turbine design considerations. Differences would be expected since the aerodynamics as aforementioned intrinsically differ in axial and radial configurations. For instance, the centrifugal cascade is characterized by increasing cross flow area with radius and presence of detrimental Coriolis force and relative eddy under rotation. It is believed that this study would provide useful insights or even guidelines in design of centrifugal turbines.

description: Chemical structure has been long recognized to greatly influence polymer glass formation, but a general molecular theory that predicts how chemical structure determines the properties of glass-forming polymers has been slow to develop. While the generalized entropy theory (GET) explains the influence of various molecular details on polymer glass formation, the application of the GET has heretofore been limited to the use of the simplest polymer model in which all united atom groups within the monomers of a species interact with a common monomer averaged van der Waals energy. However, energetic heterogeneities are ubiquitous within the monomers of real polymers, and their implications for polymer glass formation remain to be investigated theoretically. This paper uses an extension of the GET to explore the influence of energetic heterogeneities within monomers upon the nature of polymer glass formation. The present paper focuses on establishing general trends for the variation of characteristic properties of glass formation, such as the isobaric fragility parameter $m_P$ and the glass transition temperature $T_g$, with molecular details, such as the specific interactions and chain stiffness. Our computations confirm that the previously used model with monomer averaged interactions correctly captures general trends in the variation of $m_P$ and $T_g$ with various molecular parameters. More importantly, adjustment of the energetic heterogeneities within monomers alone are shown to provide an efficient mechanism for tailoring the properties of glass-forming polymers. The variations of polymer properties along iso-fragility and iso-$T_g$ lines are illustrated as important design tools for exhibiting the combined influence of specific interactions and chain stiffness.

Computational Analysis of Arab-Andalusian Music Through Symbolic Pattern Discovery Algorithms
Creators: name: Garcia Casado, Miguel
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2020
Subjects: Pattern Discovery, Arab-Andalusian, Ethnomusicology

description: Arab-Andalusian music was originated in the medieval Islamic territories of the Iberian Peninsula, mixing local traditions and Arabic influences. The expert performer and researcher of the Moroccan tradition of this music, Amin Chaachoo, has developed a theory which supports that Centonization, a melodic composition tech-nique used in Gregorian chant, was also utilized for the creation of this repertoire. In this thesis, by applying symbolic pattern discovery algorithms to a music score corpus of Arab-Andalusian music of the Moroccan tradition, we aim to contribute to the development of Amin Chaachoo’s theory. For this purpose, relevant patterns are discovered from the transcriptions and compared with the list of musical motives proposed by the expert. As last, results are evaluated using automatic and manual methods, finally, a visualization tool is designed and presented in order to be able to show, listen and compare the patterns in an easy way for the Arab-Andalusian researchers.

The targum (1924:Sept. 16 - 1924:Sept. 30)
Creators: name: No Name Supplied
Publisher: name: Targum Association
Year: 1924

description: Some University historians indicate that the Targum was first published as an annual in 1867, but of this we have no extant evidence. In January 1869, the Targum as we now know it, made its appearance as a monthly paper that concerned itself with student “literary contributions” and college news as well as serving as a vehicle for bringing news to alumni and the general public. The newspaper, which originally was for sale, varied in frequency over the years as did its title (The Targum, Rutgers Targum, Rutgers Daily Targum, and Daily Targum). The newspaper has continuously been published since 1869 with the exception of 19 months during the second world war, between February 1944 and October 1945. The Targum was published by the students of Rutgers College, and later Rutgers University—New Brunswick represented through the years as the Targum Association, Rutgers Targum Association, and Rutgers College Targum. As a student organization, the Targum operated under the oversight of the dean of students and student government but in October 1980, the Targum became an independent college paper.

description: We examine the behavior of the retarded Green's function in theories with Lifshitz scaling symmetry, both through dual gravitational models and a direct field theory approach. In contrast with the case of a relativistic CFT, where the Green's function is fixed (up to normalization) by symmetry, the generic Lifshitz Green's function can a priori depend on an arbitrary function $\mathcal G(\hatω)$, where $\hatω=ω/|\vec k|^z$ is the scale-invariant ratio of frequency to wavenumber, with dynamical exponent $z$. Nevertheless, we demonstrate that the imaginary part of the retarded Green's function (i.e. the spectral function) of scalar operators is exponentially suppressed in a window of frequencies near zero. This behavior is universal in all Lifshitz theories without additional constraining symmetries. On the gravity side, this result is robust against higher derivative corrections, while on the field theory side we present two $z=2$ examples where the exponential suppression arises from summing the perturbative expansion to infinite order.

description: A simple proof method is presented for proving invariance properties of concurrent programs in priority-scheduled systems. This method is illustrated by using it to establish the correctness of a simple wait-free consensus algorithm for priority-scheduled uniprocessor systems. This consensus algorithm is of interest in its own right because is shows that atomic read and write operations are universal in priority-scheduled uniprocessor systems, i.e., they can be used to implement any shared object in such a system in a wait-free manner. This stands in contrast to fully asynchronous systems, where strong synchronization primitives such as compare-and-swap are needed for universality.

description: A new finite volume (FV) discretisation method for the Lattice Boltzmann (LB) equation which combines high accuracy with limited computational cost is presented. In order to assess the performance of the FV method we carry out a systematic comparison, focused on accuracy and computational performances, with the standard $streaming$ (ST) Lattice Boltzmann equation algorithm. To our knowledge such a systematic comparison has never been previously reported. In particular we aim at clarifying whether and in which conditions the proposed algorithm, and more generally any FV algorithm, can be taken as the method of choice in fluid-dynamics LB simulations. For this reason the comparative analysis is further extended to the case of realistic flows, in particular thermally driven flows in turbulent conditions. We report the first successful simulation of high-Rayleigh number convective flow performed by a Lattice Boltzmann FV based algorithm with wall grid refinement.

description: A fundamental macroscopic description of a magnetized plasma is the Vlasov equation supplemented by the nonlinear inverse-square force Fokker-Planck collision operator [Rosenbluth et al., Phys. Rev., 107, 1957]. The Vlasov part describes advection in a six-dimensional phase space whereas the collision operator involves friction and diffusion coefficients that are weighted velocity-space integrals of the particle distribution function. The Fokker-Planck collision operator is an integro-differential, bilinear operator, and numerical discretization of the operator is far from trivial. In this letter, we describe a new approach to discretize the entire kinetic system based on an expansion in Gaussian Radial Basis functions (RBFs). This approach is particularly well-suited to treat the collision operator because the friction and diffusion coefficients can be analytically calculated. Although the RBF method is known to be a powerful scheme for the interpolation of scattered multidimensional data, Gaussian RBFs also have a deep physical interpretation as local thermodynamic equilibria. In this letter we outline the general theory, highlight the connection to plasma fluid theories, and also give 2D and 3D numerical solutions of the nonlinear Fokker-Planck equation. A broad spectrum of applications for the new method is anticipated in both astrophysical and laboratory plasmas.

description: Characterizing record labels and their sound signatures is a difficult
 problem, especially when it comes to indie record labels. That's the
 present when dealing with record labels of electronic music, so the
 application of different constructs and techniques that have been
 proved useful when looking at record labels is essential. On top
 of that Electronic music increases the challenges in similar issues,
 as timbre and rhythm are more important than root keys, chords,
 which are facets traditionally emphasized in music information re-
 trieval. The research presented in this dissertation aims at the ex-
 ploration of the usage of Music Information Retrieval tools and tech-
 niques for the analysis of Electronic Music Record Label based on
 audio content. For that purpose we have curated a music collection
 especially addressed for the above-mentioned problems, containing
 more than 3000 tracks of 9 different Electronic Music Record Label.
 The collection has been analyzed with the help of Essentia's library,
 and the extracted features present various musical criteria such as
 timbre, rhythm, and tonality. The extracted features are tested
 with different classication algorithms, from the simplest of them,
 a Support Vector Machine, to a Fully Connected layer network, to
 a more complex one, a Convolutional Neural Network. We also
 propose various ways of segmenting Electronic Music, in order to
 capture the most relevant features. We tried to cover as much types
 of segments as we can, which were tested experimentally, achieving
 satisfactory results. Finally, a detailed qualitative analysis of the
 results obtained when considering a group of record labels is per-
 formed, demonstrating the potential of the analysis that have been
 developed.

description: In this paper, we analyze the holographic cosmology using a M2-M5 brane configuration. In this configuration, a M2-brane will be placed in between a M5-brane and an anti-M5-brane. The M2-brane will act as a channel for energy to flow from an anti-M5-brane to a M5-brane, and this will increase the degrees of freedom on the M5-brane causing inflation. The inflation will end when the M5-brane and anti-M5-brane get separated. However, at a later stage the distance between the M5-brane and the anti-M5-bran can reduce and this will cause the formation of tachyonic states. These tachyonic states will be again open a bridge between the M5-branes and the anti-M5-branes, which will cause further acceleration of the universe.

description: Magnetars are neutron stars in which a strong magnetic field is the main energy source. About two dozens of magnetars, plus several candidates, are currently known in our Galaxy and in the Magellanic Clouds. They appear as highly variable X-ray sources and, in some cases, also as radio and/or optical pulsars. Their spin periods (2-12 s) and spin-down rates (~10^{-13}-10^{-10} s/s) indicate external dipole fields of ~10^{13-15} G, and there is evidence that even stronger magnetic fields are present inside the star and in non-dipolar magnetospheric components. Here we review the observed properties of the persistent emission from magnetars, discuss the main models proposed to explain the origin of their magnetic field and present recent developments in the study of their evolution and connection with other classes of neutron stars.

description: We propose a spin gauge field theory in which the curl of a Dirac fermion current density plays the role of the pseudovector charge density. In this field-theoretic model, spin interactions are mediated by a single scalar gauge boson in its antisymmetric tensor formulation. We show that these long range spin interactions induce a gauge invariant photon mass in the one-loop effective action. The fermion loop generates a coupling between photons and the spin gauge boson, which acquires thus charge. This coupling represents also an induced, gauge invariant, topological mass for the photons, leading to the Meissner effect. The one-loop effective equations of motion for the charged spin gauge boson are the London equations. We propose thus spin gauge interactions as an alternative, topological mechanism for superconductivity in which no spontaneous symmetry breaking is involved.

A space- and time-efficient local-spin spin lock
Creators: name: Anderson, James
name: Kim, Yong-Jik
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2002

description: each process generates Θ(logN) remote memory references per lock request, where N is the number of processes. The space complexity of the transformed algorithm is Θ(N), which is clearly optimal. Its time complexity is Θ(logN), like the original.
description: A simple code transformation is presented that reduces the space complexity of Yang and Anderson's local-spin mutual exclusion algorithm. In this algorithm, only atomic read and write instructions are used

description: FNDeepML (Fake News Deep Markup Language) is a fine-grained annotation scheme aimed at taking the fake news detection task a step further, which provides two levels of news annotation: 1. Structure: divides a news piece into different parts based on applying the inverted pyramid hypothesis, which provides each part with a different level of relevance. 2. Content: the content elements are annotated by following the 5W1H technique, a method used in journalism for answering the six key questions in a news story.
Localized eigenvectors of the non-backtracking matrix

description: In the case of graph partitioning, the emergence of localized eigenvectors can cause the standard spectral method to fail. To overcome this problem, the spectral method using a non-backtracking matrix was proposed. Based on numerical experiments on several examples of real networks, it is clear that the non-backtracking matrix does not exhibit localization of eigenvectors. However, we show that localized eigenvectors of the non-backtracking matrix can exist outside the spectral band, which may lead to deterioration in the performance of graph partitioning.

The targum (1924:Oct. 7 - 1924:Oct. 28)
Creators: name: No Name Supplied
Publisher: name: Targum Association
Year: 1924

description: Some University historians indicate that the Targum was first published as an annual in 1867, but of this we have no extant evidence. In January 1869, the Targum as we now know it, made its appearance as a monthly paper that concerned itself with student “literary contributions” and college news as well as serving as a vehicle for bringing news to alumni and the general public. The newspaper, which originally was for sale, varied in frequency over the years as did its title (The Targum, Rutgers Targum, Rutgers Daily Targum, and Daily Targum). The newspaper has continuously been published since 1869 with the exception of 19 months during the second world war, between February 1944 and October 1945. The Targum was published by the students of Rutgers College, and later Rutgers University—New Brunswick represented through the years as the Targum Association, Rutgers Targum Association, and Rutgers College Targum. As a student organization, the Targum operated under the oversight of the dean of students and student government but in October 1980, the Targum became an independent college paper.
The distribution of dilating sets: a journey from Euclidean to hyperbolic geometry

description: We survey the distributional properties of progressively dilating sets under projection by covering maps, focusing on manifolds of constant sectional curvature. In the Euclidean case, we review previously known results and formulate some generalizations, derived as a direct byproduct of recent developments on the problem of Fourier decay of finite measures. In the hyperbolic setting, we consider a natural upgrade of the problem to unit tangent bundles; confining ourselves to compact hyperbolic surfaces, we discuss an extension of our recent result with Ravotti on expanding circle arcs, establishing a precise asymptotic expansion for averages along expanding translates of homogeneous curves.

description: Non-linear charge transport in SIS Josephson junctions has a unique signature in the shuttled charge quantum between the two superconductors. In the zero-bias limit Cooper pairs, each with twice the electron charge, carry the Josephson current. An applied bias $V_{SD}$ leads to multiple Andreev reflections (MAR), which in the limit of weak tunneling probability should lead to integer multiples of the electron charge $ne$ traversing the junction, with $n$ integer larger than $2Δ/eV_{SD}$ and $Δ$ the superconducting order parameter. Exceptionally, just above the gap, $eV_{SD}>2Δ$, with Andreev reflections suppressed, one would expect the current to be carried by partitioned quasiparticles; each with energy dependent charge, being a superposition of an electron and a hole. Employing shot noise measurements in an SIS junction induced in an InAs nanowire (with noise proportional to the partitioned charge), we first observed quantization of the partitioned charge $q=e^*/e=n$, with $n=1-4$; thus reaffirming the validity of our charge interpretation. Concentrating next on the bias region $eV_{SD}{\approx}2Δ$, we found a reproducible and clear dip in the extracted charge to $q{\approx}0.6$, which, after excluding other possibilities, we attribute to the partitioned quasiparticle charge. Such dip is supported by numerical simulations of our SIS structure.

Partitioned storage for temporal databases

Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 1988

description: Efficiently maintaining history data on line together with current data is difficult. This paper discusses one promising approach, the temporally partitioned store. The current store contains current data and possibly some history data, while the history store holds the rest of the data. The two stores can utilize different storage formats, and even different storage media, depending on the individual data characteristics. We discuss various issues on the temporally partitioned store, investigate several formats for the history store, and evaluate their performance on a set of sample queries.
