E-Scan: Consuming Contextual Data with Model Plugins

Anastasia Ailamaki, Viktor Sanca

Extracting value and insights from increasingly heterogeneous data sources involves multiple systems combining and consuming the data. With multi-modal and context-rich data such as strings, text, videos, or images, the problem of standardizing the data mo ...

Interpreting Rhythm as Parsing: Syntactic-Processing Operations Predict the Migration of Visual Flashes as Perceived During Listening to Musical Rhythms

Martin Alois Rohrmeier, Steffen Alexander Herff, Gabriele Cecchetti

Music can be interpreted by attributing syntactic relationships to sequential musical events, and, computationally, such musical interpretation represents an analogous combinatorial task to syntactic processing in language. While this perspective has been ...

A Research-Practice Partnership to Introduce Computer Science in Secondary School: Lessons from a Pilot Program

Francesco Mondada, Helena Kovacs, Jean-Philippe Pellet, Jessica Elke Dehler Zufferey, Barbara Bruno, Laila Abdelsalam El-Hamamsy

Context: Introducing Computer Science (CS) into formal education can be challenging, notably when considering the numerous stakeholders involved which include the students, teachers, schools, and policy makers. We believe these perspectives should be con ...

Method for Design Materialization (MDM) for artists, educators and archivists: an introduction

This contribution argues for the potential of Barr, Khaled and Lessard’s Method for Design Materialization (MDM) as a research through design tool that is specifically suited for new media preservation. Building moreover from the ISEA first and second Summ ...

Grammar-based generation of bar networks in static equilibrium with bounded bar lengths

Corentin Jean Dominique Fivet, Ioannis Mirtsopoulos

This paper presents a generative approach for the conceptual design of structures, which aims at exploring alternative bar networks in static equilibrium by means of a grammar rule. Operating on incomplete networks of bars in interim static equilibrium, th ...

Gramatron: Effective Grammar-Aware Fuzzing

Mathias Josef Payer

Fuzzers aware of the input grammar can explore deeper program states using grammar-aware mutations. Existing grammar-aware fuzzers are ineffective at synthesizing complex bug triggers due to: (i) grammars introducing a sampling bias during input generation ...

Design Approaches for Creating Person-Centered, Context Sensitive, and Sustainable Assistive Technology with the Global South

Klaus Benedikt Schönenberger, Mario Andres Chavarria Varon

The implementation of non-user-centered design is sometimes effective for traditionally mass-produced items; however, these methods do not take into account local needs, resources, and cultures, and the history of individual people and communities in low- ...

Efficient Parsing with Derivatives and Zippers

Romain Edelmann

Parsing is the process that enables a computer system to make sense of raw data. Parsing is common to almost all computer systems: It is involved every time sequential data is read and elaborated into structured data. The theory of parsing usually focuses ...

Individual differences in the Müller-Lyer and Ponzo illusions are stable across different contexts

Michael Herzog, Aline Françoise Cretenoud, Lukasz Grzeczkowski

Vision scientists have attempted to classify visual illusions according to certain aspects, such as brightness or spatial features. For example, Piaget proposed that visual illusion magnitudes either decrease or increase with age. Subsequently, it was sugg ...

The Politics of Participatory Sustainability Assessments: An Analysis of Power

Livia Bianca Fritz, Franziska Meinherz

The participation of societal actors has been advanced as the gold standard of sustainability assessment processes and is thought essential to dealing with the plurality of normative claims surrounding sustainability and the need to take decisions in a con ...

A Unifying Representer Theorem for Inverse Problems and Machine Learning

Michaël Unser

Regularization addresses the ill-posedness of the training problem in machine learning or the reconstruction of a signal from a limited number of measurements. The method is applicable whenever the problem is formulated as an optimization task. The standar ...

Scaling Functional Synthesis and Repair

Emmanouil Koukoutos

Program synthesis was first proposed a few decades ago, but in the last decade it has gained increased momentum in the research community. The increasing complexity of software has dictated the urgent need for improved supporting tools that verify the soft ...

Towards housing sustainability: a framework for the decision-making process of tenants

Claudia Rebeca Binder Signer, Anna Pagani

The mismatch between the supply and demand of rental apartments in Switzerland represents an obstacle to the transition towards a more sustainable society. The difficulty for the housing providers to accommodate the fast societal change of the demand bring ...

Modes and Existences in Citizen Science: Thoughts from Earthquake Country

In the Bay Area of San Francisco, the earthquake contours are not easy to define: seismology is still a relatively recent science, and controversies around methods to evaluate the earthquake risk are constant. In this context, the invitation to think about ...

Structural Adaptation through Stiffness Tuning

Gennaro Senatore

Adaptive design strategies have been employed to improve structural performances in terms of load-bearing efficiency and energetic impact as well as to achieve multi-functionality. In this work, we investigate a passive adaptation strategy that employs var ...

CS2 Reductive Coupling to Acetylenedithiolate by a Dinuclear Ytterbium(II) Complex

Rosario Scopelliti, Marinella Mazzanti, Julie Renée Michelle Andrez, Davide Toniolo

The activation of CS2 is of interest in a broad range of fields and more particularly in the context of creating new C‐C bonds. The reaction of the dinuclear ytterbium(II) complex [Yb2L4], 1, (L = (OtBu)3SiO‐) with carbon disulphide led to the isolation of ...

IRGC Guidelines for the Governance of Systemic Risks

Marie-Valentine Renée Agnès Florin, Anjali Devi Vanapilli Nursimulu

IRGC’s guidelines for the governance of systemic risks addresses the question of how to deal with systemic risks in the context of system transitions, i.e., in situations that require adaptation to new context conditions or transformation of an organisatio ...

Tracking Transmission of Details in Paintings

Frédéric Kaplan, Isabella Di Lenardo, Benoît Laurent Auguste Seguin

In previous articles (di Lenardo et al, 2016; Seguin et al, 2016), we explored how efficient visual search engines operating not on the basis of textual metadata but directly through visual queries, could fundamen- tally change the navigation in large data ...

Visualization, Adaptation, and Transformation of Procedural Grammars

Stefan Lienhard

Procedural shape grammars are powerful tools for the automatic generation of highly detailed 3D content from a set of descriptive rules. It is easy to encode variations in stochastic and parametric grammars, and an uncountable number of models can be gener ...
