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

Martin Alois Rohrmeier, Gabriele Cecchetti, Steffen Alexander Herff

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 ...

Private Message Franking with After Opening Privacy

Serge Vaudenay, Iraklis Leontiadis

Recently Grubbs et al. [GLR17] initiated the formal study of message franking protocols. This new type of service launched by Facebook, allows the receiver in a secure messaging application to verifiably report to a third party an abusive message some send ...

Quand les artistes font forme en habitant ensemble. Usages, présences, imaginaires

Mathilde Coline Chénin

Taking root within a historical and transversal perspective of communities of artists at work, and of the relationship that they nourish with the places that host their creative activity, the present research intends to bring to light the grammars of "the ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

A Formal Model of Extended Tonal Harmony

Martin Alois Rohrmeier, Fabian Claude Moss

Extended tonality is a central system that characterizes the music from the 19th up to the 21st century, including styles like popular music, film music or Jazz. Developing from classical major-minor tonality, the harmonic language of extended tonality for ...

Zippy LL(1) Parsing with Derivatives

Viktor Kuncak, Romain Edelmann, Jad Hamza

In this paper, we present an efficient, functional, and formally verified parsing algorithm for LL(1) context-free expressions based on the concept of derivatives of formal languages. Parsing with derivatives is an elegant parsing technique, which, in the ...

The Learnability of the Grammar of Jazz: Bayesian Inference of Hierarchical Structures in Harmony

Daniel Harasim

Musical grammar describes a set of principles that are used to understand and interpret the structure of a piece according to a musical style. The main topic of this study is grammar induction for harmony --- the process of learning structural principles f ...

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 ...

Architectural Sampling: A Formal Basis for Machine-Learnable Architecture

Immanuel Chee Beng Koh

The spatial and formal conception of architecture, and thus its modes of design perception and representation, directly contributes to its machine-learnability; and consequently, its capacity in leveraging today's machine learning apparatus for design inno ...

Optimized Data Representation for Interactive Multiview Navigation

Pascal Frossard, Thomas Maugey, Rui Ma

In contrary to traditional media streaming services where a unique media content is delivered to different users, interactive multiview navigation applications enable users to choose their own viewpoints and freely navigate in a three-dimensional scene. Th ...

Espace public comme objet per se? Une analyse critique de la conception contemporaine

Sonia Monique Curnier

The recognition during the second half of the 20th century of the essential role played by public spaces in the definition of qualitative urban life has led to a reconsideration of their design. This has occurred in many different forms, such as the emerge ...

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 ...

Proactive Synthesis of Recursive Tree-to-String Functions from Examples

Viktor Kuncak, Mikaël Mayer, Jad Hamza

Synthesis from examples enables non-expert users to generate programs by specifying examples of their behavior. A domain-specific form of such synthesis has been recently deployed in a widely used spreadsheet software product. In this paper we contribute t ...

Aggregation of Power Capabilities of Heterogeneous Resources for Real-Time Control of Power Grids

Jean-Yves Le Boudec, Mario Paolone, Lorenzo Enrique Reyes Chamorro, Andrey Bernstein, Wajeb Saab

Aggregation of electric resources is a fundamental function for the operation of power grids at different time scales. In the context of a recently proposed framework for the real-time control of microgrids with explicit power setpoints, we define and form ...

Simplifying Development and Management of Software-Defined Networks

Peter Peresini

Computer networks are an important part of our life. Yet, they are traditionally hard to manage and operate. The recent shift to Software-Defined Networking (SDN) is promised to change the way in which the networks are run by their operators. However, SDN ...

Automating Grammar Comparison

Viktor Kuncak, Mikaël Mayer, Ravichandhran Kandhadai Madhavan

We consider from a practical perspective the problem of checking equivalence of context-free grammars. We present techniques for proving equivalence, as well as techniques for finding counter-examples that establish non-equivalence. Among the key building ...

RSP-QL Semantics: a Unifying Query Model to Explain Heterogeneity of RDF Stream Processing Systems

Jean Paul Calbimonte Perez

RDF and SPARQL are established standards for data interchange and querying on the Web. While they have been shown to be useful and applicable in many scenarios, they are not sufficiently adequate for dealing with streams of data and their intrinsic continu ...

Soft control of swarms: Analytical approach

Max-Olivier Hongler, Guillaume Adrien Sartoretti

We analytically study the collective dynamics of mutually interacting heterogeneous agents evolving in a random environment. Our formal framework consists of a collection of JV scalar drifted Brownian motions (BM) diffusing on R. The mutual interactions ar ...
