Full textAbstract:
The research is titled (Adjective in linguistic schools - traditional, generative, Cognitive). The research aims to study the adjective in the Kurdish language as a linguistic category. The types of adjectives were classified according to the linguistic schools, based on many principles. The traditional school concerned with the semantic principle to determine the class of adjectives. In the Generative school, the principle of position and function were two basic principles for defining an adjective. In the Cognitive theory, the principles of the adjective-noun relationship, the position of the adjective from the noun, and how the characteristics of nouns are presented through adjectives, were basic principles for defining the adjective and its types. The research is divided into three parts, the first section includes a review and a historical presentation of the researchers’concerns in classifying adjectives and their forms in the Kurdish language. In the second section of the research, examples of adjectives in the Kurdish language are presented from the perspective of the generative theory. Especially on the principle of syntactic case and the X-bar theory. In the third section, I dealt with the classification of adjectives in the Kurdish language from the perspective of Cognitive grammar.

Personal information is the foundation of generative AI, and ChatGPT-like generative AI needs to process a large amount of personal information at various stages such as model training, model generation, and model optimization, which also has a certain impact on traditional personal information protection rules. During the information collection phase, generative AI may fugitive the informed consent rules and infringe on the privacy rights of information subjects. In the information utilization stage, generative AI may impact basic personal information processing rules such as the principle of purpose limitation and the principle of openness and transparency, increasing the risk of personal information leakage. At the information generation stage, generative AI can generate false and discriminatory information. Therefore, in the context of generative AI, personal information protection is faced with the problems of the notification and consent rules being hollowed out, the principle of minimum necessity being voided, and the frequent leakage of personal information. Based on this, it is necessary to promote the transformation of the "personal control center to the risk control center" of the notification and consent rules, promote the risk-based interpretation of the principle of least necessary, and improve the risk-based personal information protection compliance system to solve the problem of personal information protection in the context of generative AI.

In examining phenomenology as a base onto-generative hermeneutics (onto-hermeneutics) I find the gradual movement from pure phenomenology in Husserl to an ontological phenomenology in Merleau-Ponty through Heidegger and Gadamer. I argue thus that there is an implicit connection between the phenomenological and the ontological. In order to bring out the desirable connection between the two we must have hermeneutic interpretation of one in terms of the other. This leads to the idea of onto-hermeneutic circle of phenomenology and ontology based on the integration of the four phenomenologies which represent a wider comprehension and deeper intuition. It is in terms of this wider comprehension and deeper intuition of reality I introduce the Chinese notion “ben-ti 本體” (root-body) as “onto-generative” as well as onto-phenomenological. I suggest five principles as constituting the basic formulation of such a hermeneutic system as both theory and methodology: (i) Principle of comprehensive observation (guan 观) (the Yijing); (ii) Principle of objective reference (wu 物) (the Yijing); (iii) Principle of perception, reflection, and memory (gan 感) (the Yijing and the Confucian); (iv) Principle of intersubjective understanding and interpretation based on (ren 仁) (the Confucian); and (v) Principle of practical end and action (xing 行) (the Confucian).

Abstract Motivation Combination therapy has shown to improve therapeutic efficacy while reducing side effects. Importantly, it has become an indispensable strategy to overcome resistance in antibiotics, antimicrobials and anticancer drugs. Facing enormous chemical space and unclear design principles for small-molecule combinations, computational drug-combination design has not seen generative models to meet its potential to accelerate resistance-overcoming drug combination discovery. Results We have developed the first deep generative model for drug combination design, by jointly embedding graph-structured domain knowledge and iteratively training a reinforcement learning-based chemical graph-set designer. First, we have developed hierarchical variational graph auto-encoders trained end-to-end to jointly embed gene–gene, gene–disease and disease–disease networks. Novel attentional pooling is introduced here for learning disease representations from associated genes’ representations. Second, targeting diseases in learned representations, we have recast the drug-combination design problem as graph-set generation and developed a deep learning-based model with novel rewards. Specifically, besides chemical validity rewards, we have introduced novel generative adversarial award, being generalized sliced Wasserstein, for chemically diverse molecules with distributions similar to known drugs. We have also designed a network principle-based reward for disease-specific drug combinations. Numerical results indicate that, compared to state-of-the-art graph embedding methods, hierarchical variational graph auto-encoder learns more informative and generalizable disease representations. Results also show that the deep generative models generate drug combinations following the principle across diseases. Case studies on four diseases show that network-principled drug combinations tend to have low toxicity. The generated drug combinations collectively cover the disease module similar to FDA-approved drug combinations and could potentially suggest novel systems pharmacology strategies. Our method allows for examining and following network-based principle or hypothesis to efficiently generate disease-specific drug combinations in a vast chemical combinatorial space.

Summary The past 30 years have seen marked shifts in the generative grammarians’ view of the nature of linguistic competence. The rule-oriented period of early Transformational Grammar, which was ushered in by the publication of Chomsky’s Syntactic Structures in 1957, gave way a decade later to the principle-oriented period of Generative Semantics. By the mid-1970s, the rule-oriented Lexicalist framework had replaced Generative Semantics. Since around 1981, the principle-oriented Principles & Parameters approach is the one to which a majority of generative syntacticians hold allegiance. Each shift in the generativists’ view of the nature of competence has been accompanied by a revised view of how concepts derived from generative syntax might be applied to second language teaching. Since 1957, three different strategies for applying the theory have been propounded: the ‘mechanical’, the ‘terminological’, and the ‘implicational’, each of which has been instantiated during each period in the development of generative syntax. The paper closes with some speculative remarks about the feasibility of applying generativist theory to second language teaching.

As generative artificial intelligence (generative AI) technology rapidly develops, new tools are being introduced to the market, and its use in many areas, from education to healthcare, is quickly increasing. Therefore, ethical research must keep pace with these developments and address the new challenges. In this way, AI can benefit society and prevent potential harm. This study was conducted to identify ethical issues in the use of generative AI, highlight prominent issues, and provide an overview through a systematic literature review. A systematic search was conducted in Scopus, Web of Science, and ScienceDirect databases to retrieve articles examining ethical aspects of generative AI with no year restrictions. The search terms were "generative artificial intelligence," "generative AI," "GenAI," or "GAI," with the combination of "ethic," "ethics," or "ethical." Studies were selected using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. Forty-three articles were included in the review after the screening process. According to the research results, the "justice and fairness" principle was emphasized in all the articles examined. The least examined ethical principles were the principle of "solidarity", which expresses unity in society or group, and the principle of "dignity", which means the value an individual feels for himself and his rights. The authors of the 43 articles are mainly from the United States (n = 31), followed by China (n = 15) and the United Kingdom (n = 13). Of the 43 articles reviewed, 41 mentioned ChatGPT, albeit as an example. This study reviews the literature on the ethical use of generative AI and presents challenges and solutions.

With the rapid development of artificial intelligence technology, generative AI, as an emerging technology, is gradually penetrating into various fields including environmental design practice teaching. As a comprehensive subject integrating art, science and technology, environmental design practice teaching is very important for cultivating students' innovative thinking and practical ability. Generative AI has brought unprecedented opportunities for environmental design practice teaching with its powerful content generation ability. However, how to effectively introduce this technology into the classroom and integrate it with traditional teaching methods is an urgent problem that we need to solve. This paper will discuss the application of generative AI in the practical teaching of environmental design from four aspects: technical principle, application scenario, practical effect and challenge. This paper aims to explore the application of generative AI in the practical teaching of environmental design, analyze its technical principles, application scenarios, practical effects and potential challenges, in order to provide new ideas and methods for environmental design education.

Full textAbstract:
The publication presents the problems of identifying data types (typesetting) and semantic description of the attributes when managing structured data and master data (Master Data Management). A formal definition of the generalized attribute typesetting problem is given, which allows generation of the additional data types. This problem allows using the discrete Bellman optimality principle under special criteria of the target function. A unified architecture of the deep generative neural network addressing simultaneously the generalized attribute typesetting and semantic description generation problems is proposed. The architecture is based on the generative adversarial autoencoder architecture (AAE) using the mechanisms of soft-attention, and long-term memory (SCRN). The effectiveness of such implementation, in particular, is achieved through the application of the principles of dynamic programming within each epoch of the network training.

Full textAbstract:
Thesis (S.M.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Architecture, 2006.<br>Includes bibliographical references (leaves [87]-[98]).<br>As designers have become more eloquent in the exploitation of the powerful yet generic calculating capabilities of the computer, contemporary architectural practice seems to have set its mind on creating a logic machine that designs from predetermined constraints. Generating form from mathematical formulae thus gives the design process a scientific twist that allows the design to present itself as the outcome to a rigorous and objective process. So far, several designer-computer relations have been explored. The common designer-computer models are often described as either pre-rational or post-rational. Yet another approach would be the irrational. The hypothesis is that the early design process is in need of the unexpected, rather than iron logic. This research investigated how the use of randomness as a generative principle could present the designer with a creative design environment. The analysis and reading of randomness in art and architecture production takes as examples works of art where the artist/designer saw uncertainty or unpredictability as an intricate part of the process. The selected works incorporate, mostly, an instigating and an interpreting party embedded in the making of the work.<br>(cont.) The negotiations of boundaries between both parties determine the development of the work. Crucial to the selected works of art was the rendering of control or choice from one party to another - whether human, machine or nature - being used as a generative principle. Jackson Pollock serves as the analog example of a scattered computation: an indefinite number of calculations, of which each has a degree of randomness, that relate in a rhizomic manner. Pollock responds to each of these outcomes, allowing the painting to form from intentions rather than expectations. This looking and acting aspect to Pollock's approach is illustrated in the Jackson Pollock shape grammar. Ultimately the investigation of randomness in art is translated to architecture by comparing the Pollock approach in his drip paintings to Greg Lynn's digital design process in the Port Authority Gateway project. In the Pollock approach to digital design agency is given to the tools at hand, yet at the same time, the sheer indefinite number of designer-system interactions allows the design to emerge out of that constructive dialogue in an intuitive manner.<br>by Kenny Verbeeck.<br>S.M.

Full textAbstract:
Implementations of grammatical theory have traditionally been based upon Context-
Free Grammar (CFG) formalisms which all but ignore questions of learnability. Even implementations which are based upon theories of Generative Grammar (GG), a paradigm which is supposedly motivated by learnability, rarely address such questions. In this thesis we will examine a GG theory which has been formulated primarily to address questions of learnability and present an implementation based upon this theory. The theory argues from Chomsky's definition of epistemological priority that principles which match elements and structures from prelinguistic systems
with elements and structures in linguistic systems are preferable to those which are defined purely linguistically or non-linguistically. A procedure for constructing phrase-structure representations from prelinguistic relations using principles of node percolation (rather than the traditional X-theory of GG theories or phrase-structure rules of CFG theories) is presented and this procedure integrated into a left-right, primarily bottom-up parsing mechanism. Specifically, we present a parsing mechanism
which derives phrase-structure representations of sentences from Case- and 0-relations using a small number of Percolation Principles. These Percolation Principles
simply determine the categorial features of the dominant node of any two adjacent nodes in a representational tree, doing away with explicit phrase structure
rules altogether. The parsing mechanism also instantiates appropriate empty categories using a filler-driven paradigm for leftward argument and non-argument movement. Procedures modelling learnability are not implemented in this work, but the applicability of the presented model to a computational model of language is discussed.<br>Science, Faculty of<br>Computer Science, Department of<br>Graduate

Hållbarhetsredovisningen kan ses som ett kommunikationsverktyg för företag gentemot sinaintressenter. Då konsumenter generellt sett är företagens primära inkomstkälla blir det därmed en viktig intressent för företaget. En konsumentgrupp som från och med i år beräknas vara den största konsumentgruppen och utgöra nästan 40% av världens konsumtion är Generation Z. Studiens syfte är att undersöka och förstå Generation Zs syn på två av Sveriges största fastfashion företag, nämligen H&M och Gina Tricot, hållbarhetsredovisningar utifrån 3Cprincipen.Vidare är syftet att undersöka om konsumentens attityd gentemot respektive fastfashion företag förändras efter att ha tagit del av hållbarhetsredovisningarna. Konsumenternas attityder analyserades utifrån Solomons et al. (2016) ABC-modell. Tio semistrukturerade intervjuer utfördes där deltagarna först fick dela med sig av generella åsikter kring företagen, därefter fick de ta del av hållbarhetsredovisningarna för att sedan dagen efter svara på ytterligare frågor. Resultatet visade på att konsumenter uppfattar respektivehållbarhetsredovisning som tydlig och jämförbar. För deltagarna som upplevde att hållbarhetsredovisningen var trovärdig var den genomgående anledningen till detta att den innehöll mer information. Konsumentens attityd gentemot respektive fast fashion företag förändrades inte ur många aspekter efter att ha tagit del av hållbarhetsredovisningen. Deltagarna som innan de tagit del av hållbarhetsredovisningen haft en positiv känsla gentemot företaget och därtill får en positiv känsla till hållbarhetsredovisningen uppgav däremot också ett förstärktbeteende. Med andra ord är de vara villiga att handla mer hos det företaget. Dock stämmer inte alltid attityd och beteende överens vilket innebär att man endast kan anta att de blir så.<br>The sustainability report can be seen as a communication tool for companies towards their stakeholders. Since consumers generally are seen as the company's primary source of income they therefore become an important stakeholder for the company. A consumer group that starting from this year is expected to be the biggest consumer group and make up for almost40% of the worlds consumption is Generation Z. This study is aimed to examine and understand Generation Z perception towards two of Sweden's biggest fast fashion companies, H&M and Gina Tricot, sustainability report based on the 3C-principle. Furthermore the purpose is to investigate if the consumers attitude towards respective fast fashion companies changes after they have taken part of the sustainability report. The consumers attitudes was analyzed based on Solomons et al. (2016) ABC-model. Ten semi-structured interviews were conducted where the participants first got to share their general opinions about the presented companies, thereafter they received the sustainability reports to then the day after answer additional questions. The results showed that the consumers perceive each sustainability report as clear and comparable. For the participants that perceived that the sustainability report as credible the frequent reason was that it contained more information. The consumers attitude towards the fast fashion companies did not change in many aspects after taking part of the sustainability report. The participants that had a previous positive feeling towards the company and in addition developed a positive feeling towards the sustainability report declared a reinforced behavior. However there is a gap between attitude and behavior and therefore one can only assume that they will behave that way. This paper is further on written in Swedish.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis examines Aristotle's account of the female role in reproduction in his <I>de Generatione Animalium</I> (<I>GA</I>). Aristotle says that the female contributes matter, while the male contributes form and movement to the offspring. In the beginning of the five book treatise, Aristotle concentrates on the role of the male parent and emphasises the importance of form by using numerous comparisons with production in crafts. The male contributes like the carpenter who imposes his idea into inert and passive matter. By reading only Books One and Two, many get the impression that the female contribution is passive, inert and contributes nothing to the type of animal that is to be produced. I argue that this misrepresents Aristotle's theory of generation. Only by reading the treatise in its entirety does the reader understand that matter in animal generation is different from the matter used in crafts. The female matter is poised to become the type of animal it will be because it contributes specific movements and potentialities. The mother's soul has worked up the material to be the type of matter needed for her own life or that of her offspring. My thesis maintains that Aristotle never meant to indicate by his craft analogies that animal generation is similar to craft production in all respects. The first two Books do not emphasise the complexities of biological matter. In this section of the treatise, Aristotle is preoccupied with his refutation of a theory that posits two identical parental seeds. For this particular argument, he need only show that male and female contributions are not identical. Although he thinks that male and female contributions are dissimilar he does not think they are absolutely asymmetrical.

Full textAbstract:
Dans cette thèse, je me suis interessé à la description ab initio du processus de génération de seconde harmonique (SHG), qui est une propriété optique non-linéaire des matériaux, et je me suis concentré sur les systèmes quantiques confinés, à base de silicium. Ces dernières années, les études ab initio ont suscité un grand intérêt pour l'interprétation et la prévision des propriétés des matériaux. Il est indispensable d'améliorer la connaissance des processus non-linéaires et de proposer une description de SHG, à partir des premiers principes. En raison de difficultés importantes, la description de l'optique non linéaire n'a pas encore atteint la précision des phénomènes linéaires. L'état de l'art des calculs ab initio SHG est représenté par l'inclusion des effets à plusieurs corps comme les champs locaux (LF) et l'interaction électron-trou, mais aujourd'hui, l'approche la plus utilisée est l'approximation de particules indépendantes (IPA), la seule en mesure d'aborder les calculs de structures complexes, tels que des surfaces et des interfaces. Alors que IPA peut être une bonne approximation pour les systèmes massifs, dans des matériaux discontinus d'autres effets peuvent être prédominants. L'objectif de ma thèse est de donner une analyse du processus de SHG dans des systèmes complexes comme les interfaces et les systèmes confinés à base de silicium, d'inférer de nouvelles connaissances sur le mécanisme physique mis en jeu et son lien avec la nature du système. J'utilise un formalisme fondé sur la théorie de la fonctionnelle de la densité dépendant du temps (TDDFT) où les effets à plusieurs corps sont inclus par un choix approprié des noyaux de la TDDFT. Le formalisme et le code ont été développés au cours de mon travail, permettant l'étude de matériaux complexes. Mes recherches ont porté sur l'étude de l'interface Si (111)/CaF2 (de type B,T4). Des études de convergence montrent l'importance du matériau semi-conducteur par rapport à l'isolant. La réponse est caractéristique d'une région profonde au-delà de l'interface Si, alors que CaF2 converge rapidement juste après l'interface. La réponse montre une sensibilité aux modifications électroniques, induites dans des états bien en-dessous de l'interface, et non à la structure ionique du silicium, qui retrouve rapidement la configuration du matériau massif. Une procédure de normalisation pour comparer avec l'expérience a été proposée. Les spectres de SHG ont été calculés en IPA, et en introduisant les interactions de champs locaux et excitoniques. De nouveaux comportements ont été observés par rapport aux processus SHG dans GaAs ou SiC, montrant l'importance des effets de champ locaux cristallins. Alors que IPA décrit la position des pics principaux de SHG et que les effets excitoniques modifient légèrement l'intensité totale, seuls les champs locaux reproduisent la forme spectrale et les intensités relatives des pics. Cela souligne combien les effets des différents acteurs dans le processus dépendent de la nature des matériaux. De nouvelles méthodes d'analyse de la réponse ont été proposées: en effet, le lien direct entre la position des pics et les énergies de transition est perdu dans les calculs de SHG : le signal provient d'une équation de Dyson du second ordre où les fonctions de réponse linéaires et non-linéaire pour des fréquences différentes sont mélangées. En outre, la complexité du matériau m'a permis d'obtenir des informations sur une grande variété de systèmes comme les multicouches et les couches de silicium confinées. Les résultats montrent un bon accord avec l'expérience, confirmant la structure de l'interface proposée. Cela souligne la précision du formalisme, la possibilité d'améliorer nos connaissances sur ces matériaux complexes. Les simulations ab-initio de SHG peuvent être utilisées comme une technique prédictive, pour soutenir et guider les expériences et les développements technologiques. Les résultats préliminaires sur les structures Si/Ge sont présentés<br>In this thesis I have dealt with the ab initio description of the second-harmonic generation (SHG) process, a nonlinear optical property of materials, focusing in particular on quantum confined, silicon-based systems. In the last decades, the accuracy and possibilities of ab initio studies have demonstrated a great relevance in both the interpretation and prediction of the materials properties. It is then mandatory to improve the knowledge of the nonlinear optical processes as well as the SHG first-principle description. Nowadays, due to nontrivial difficulties, nonlinear optics has not yet reached the accuracy and development of linear phenomena. In particular, the state of the art of ab initio SHG calculations is represented by the inclusion of many-body effects as crystal local fields (LF) and electron-hole interaction, but today, the mostly used approach is the independent particle approximation (IPA), the only one able to approach calculations of complex structures such as surfaces and interfaces. Whereas IPA can be a good approximation for bulk systems, in discontinuous materials other effects may be predominant. Hence their description is of great relevance although the lack of studies. My thesis tries to give a first analysis of the SHG process in more complex systems as the interfaces and the Si-confined systems, inferring new insights on the physical mechanism and its link with the nature of the system. I use an efficient formalism based on the Time Dependent Density Functional Theory (TDDFT) where many-body effects are included via an appropriate choice of the TDDFT kernels. Both the formalism and the code have been developed during the thesis work permitting the study complex materials. The research has been focused on the Si(111)/CaF2 (T4 B-type) interface case study. Convergence studies show the importance of the semiconductor material with respect to the insulator. The response is characteristic of a deep region beyond the Si interface whereas the CaF2 converges soon after the first interface layers. Moreover, the signal demonstrates to be sensitive to the electronic-states modifications that are induced far below the interface, and not to the Si ionic structure that recovers soon the bulk configuration. A normalization procedure to compare with the experiment has been proposed. The SHG spectra have been calculated in the IPA, introducing LF and excitonic interactions. New behaviors have been observed with respect to the SHG processes on strained silicon, GaAs or SiC showing in particular the importance of crystal local-field effects with respect to both the IPA and the excitons. Whereas IPA can describe the position of the SHG main peaks and the excitonic effects slightly modify the total intensity, only LF are able to correctly reproduce the spectral shape and the relative intensities of the peaks. This underlines how SHG and the different involved effects depends on the nature of the materials. New methods of analysis of the response have been proposed; actually, the direct link between the peaks position and the transition energies is lost in SHG calculations (i. E. The signal comes from a second order Dyson equation where linear and nonlinear response functions at different frequencies are mixed together). Furthermore, the complexity of the system allowed me to extend the study to a large variety of materials as the multilayers and the silicon confined slabs. The results show a good agreement with the experiment confirming the proposed T4 B-type interface structure. This underlines the accuracy of the formalism, the possibility of improving our knowledge on these complex materials going beyond the standard approaches, and confirms the possibility of SHG ab-initio simulations to be employed as a predictive technique, supporting and guiding experiments and technological developments. Preliminary results on Si/Ge superlattice are presented

This thesis describes an implementation of a model of natural language grammar based on current theories of transformational grammar, collectively referred to as Government and Binding (GB) theory. A description is presented of the principles of GB, including X-bar syntax and the theories of Case, Theta, Binding, Bounding, and Government The principles, in effect, constitute an embodiment of "universal grammar" (UG), i.e. the abstract characterization of the innately endowed human language faculty. Associated with the principles is a set of parameters that alter the effect of the principles. The "core grammar" of a specific language is an instantiation of UG with the parameters set in a particular way. To demonstrate the cross-linguistic nature of the theory, a subset of the "core grammars" of Spanish and English is implemented, including their parametric values and certain language-specific transformations required to characterize grammatical sentences. Sentences in one language are read in and converted through a series of reverse transformations to a base representation in the target language. To this representation, transformations are applied that produce a set of output sentences. The well-formedness of these sentences is verified by the general principles of UG as controlled by the parameters. Any that fail to meet the conditions are rejected so that only grammatical sentences are displayed. The model is written in the Prolog programming language.<br>Science, Faculty of<br>Computer Science, Department of<br>Graduate

gains in Auckland, New Zealand.
The ARGS as it stands in 2008 has taken a small but important step towards Sustainability by
recognizing the need for limiting spatial growth. To this end, the Auckland Regional Growth Forum
has instigated the creation of Auckland���s Metropolitan Urban Limit and internal growth
conurbations. These developments, while positive, will however fail to address the key
environmental issues facing Auckland. The ARGS, by adopting a framework that conforms to the
standard of only Weak Sustainability, will continue to encourage a social and economic growth
discourse that promotes unsustainable consumption, social dysfunction, and environmental
problems such as air pollution. This thesis therefore argues that the ARGS should employ a model
of SEA based on SS, namely the model developed in this thesis, SSD. Had a model such as SSD
been applied to Auckland���s development over the last decade, significant positive environmental
outcomes may have been achieved. Recent developments, such as the signing of the Kyoto
Protocol, represent a qualitative change in the way environmental issues are now taken seriously
by governments and publics alike. Environmentalism has thus reached a tipping point where
governments clearly have a mandate to give substantive attention to environmental issues. This
thesis provides a clear model that can be applied by governments to achieve sustainable
environmental outcomes.

Full textAbstract:
Restructuring personal and vocational training by means of the harbinger of a not merely economistic idea of employability represents a fundamental and ineradicable task of educational research and pedagogical reflection. The most obvious effect of such a re-understanding of employability in its function as a pedagogical principle and catalyst of formation, because of its dimension of connaturality with the subjective educational trajectory, is that of reinterpreting transition processes not from a discontinuous perspective, but from a process perspective. Hence the need to think and rethink ordinal architectures and understand the training process according to a logic of continuity and chain in which each individual educational and didactic proposal converges and makes the principle of employability transparent in a generative and transformative way.

Full textAbstract:
Perhaps because of my own upbringing in a Protestant culture which, in my youth, still contended to some extent with Pauline injunc-tions about cosmetics and hairstyle, I perceive behind the question of style in medieval studies the imputation that style is a provocation. Anna Kłosowka’s observations on the topic (in this volume) highlight some of the anxieties attendant when style becomes an issue for scholars:I think the question of style, as it applies to medievalism, is precisely the overcoming of that dichotomy between Nature and Man: a third element. And when the critique pro-ceeds through the denunciation of the inimi-tability of someone’s style, as if it were the third sex, . . . the critic unconsciously puts his finger on exactly what style is; but that critic is mistaken about the style’s generative powers. In fact, style, neither fact nor theory but facilitating the transition between the two, is. . . the generative principle itself.

Full textAbstract:
Although the roots of the cyclical form can be traced back centuries ago, it was the 19th century that claimed the cyclical principle as its full manifestation. Closely linked to the concept of genre and its affirmation in certain patterns, the cyclical form was adopted by composers as a working tool to ensure the unity of a multipartite sonic organism by utilizing a common thematic material that can be found in several parts of the genre. This thematically charged entity can circulate at the macro-formal level in variants without major changes or it can be transformed at the melodic, rhythmic, harmonic or timbral level. Generally speaking, it raises the level of musical thinking and writing, demonstrating the composer�s skill and the complexity of his/her conception. It can also have an effect on the listener by increasing the emotional impact it can provide by reiterating symbolic themes. Beginning with Beethoven and continuing with Liszt, Franck, Berlioz and Tchaikovsky, this compositional technique is concretely applied as a conscious and premeditated act in musical compositions. The twentieth century and composers such as George Enescu extend the acceptance of cyclicity to the level of a principle generative of thematicism by developing an initial theme and metamorphosing it into a resource of rhythmic-melodic material for defining and shaping the other sound characters that fulfill a formal pattern. Thus, the edifice of a thematic entity enunciated in the first part of a work can become an inexhaustible resource and the embryo of several musical individualities, generating the thematicism of the other parts of the whole.

Full textAbstract:
Recently, Large Language Models (LLMs) have showcased their potential in various natural language processing tasks, including code generation. However, while significant progress has been made in adapting LLMs to generate code for several imperative programming languages and tasks, there remains a notable gap in their application to declarative formalisms, such as Answer Set Programming (ASP). In this paper, we move a step towards exploring the capabilities of LLMs for ASP code generation. First, we perform a systematic evaluation of several state-of-the-art LLMs. Despite their power in terms of number of parameters, training data and computational resources, empirical results demonstrate inadequate performances in generating correct ASP programs. Therefore, we propose LLASP, a fine-tuned lightweight model specifically trained to encode fundamental ASP program patterns. To this aim, we create an ad-hoc dataset covering a wide variety of fundamental problem specifications that can be encoded in ASP. Our experiments demonstrate that the quality of ASP programs generated by LLASP is remarkable. This holds true not only when compared to the non-fine-tuned counterpart but also when compared to the majority of eager LLM candidates, particularly from a semantic perspective. All the code and data used to perform the experiments are publicly available: https://github.com/EricaCoppolillo/LLASP.

Full textAbstract:
For the business models addressed in this study, we propose the implementation of distribution free learning framework concepts and paradigms. The development of a machine learning process for a predictor identified with a high degree of precision is done with the help of a discriminatory paradigm. A generative-type approach is developed, using the hypothesis that the underlying distribution used for the sampled and interpreted data has a parametric structure exploiting the so-called parametric density estimation. This choice has the advantage of avoiding learning processes for the distributions underlying the business models, resulting in rigorous predictions. For the economic models, we consider that the VANIK principle has a relevant degree of efficiency, using a well-defined amount of information. The originality and solutions proposed in this work come from the idea that in order to manage economic organizations, we must turn to innovative technological concepts and paradigms, such as machine and deep Learning as part of Artificial Intelligence. Therefore, economic activities will have both a controlled degree of uncertainty and a high degree of operational-strategic performance.

Full textAbstract:
One aspect of using generative artificial intelligence (AI) in design workflows that is not well understood, is how designers navigate the use of prompts and imagery to control design outputs. To learn more about the ways generative AI can elaborate different innovative design aspects linked to a conceptual genre, we undertake an analysis of designer outputs and link these to a mapping of iterative design workflow, and the composition of prompts and imagery used to inform generative AI visualizations. A speculative design workshop presented young designers with a proposed framework to facilitate and guide them through an iterative design process using generative AI tools (Vizcom and Midjourney). Design outputs included designed objects, atmosphere, spatial configurations able to generate social communication and relations for futuristic residential lighting environment. Prompt writing and sketching were two crucial variables that enable high fidelity design visualization. Traditionally research on prompt writing focuses on variables of descriptive design imagery, point of view, quality of output, ordering, precision, tone and style. (Microsoft,2023) In this study we investigate how designers initiate and continually engage with a generative AI system to achieve consistency of outputs and elaborate design variations. The literature review identifies variables to assess the impact of creative input to structure the generative AI visualizations. Our analysis focus on the cognitive workflows and its ability to integrate a mix of analogical and digital methods( sketching, prompts writing, and digital imagery). The analysis constructs focus on the way the design methods translate different spatial qualities, phenomenal experiences that have potential to facilitate social communication and relations, (proximity, sightline-acoustic comfort). Our insights constructs a design framework to guide prompt composition that inform iterative generative AI outputs. The schematic framework may be used to guide AI generated visualizations according to the qualities of atmosphere linked to the spatial forms and arrangements of interior spaces. Written prompts and imagery are examined in their ability to articulate design principle, spatial qualities, spatial characteristics, spatial forms and social relations.

Full textAbstract:
Because of the intrinsic complexity in computation, three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction is an essential and challenging topic in computer vision research and applications. The existing methods for 3D reconstruction often produce holes, distortions and obscure parts in the reconstructed 3D models, or can only reconstruct voxelized 3D models for simple isolated objects. So they are not adequate for real usage. From 2014, the Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) is widely used in generating unreal dataset and semi-supervised learning. So the focus of this paper is to achieve high quality 3D reconstruction performance by adopting GAN principle. We propose a novel semi-supervised 3D reconstruction framework, namely SS-3D-GAN, which can iteratively improve any raw 3D reconstruction models by training the GAN models to converge. This new model only takes real-time 2D observation images as the weak supervision, and doesn't rely on prior knowledge of shape models or any referenced observations. Finally, through the qualitative and quantitative experiments & analysis, this new method shows compelling advantages over the current state-of-the-art methods on Tanks & Temples reconstruction benchmark dataset.

Full textAbstract:
The goal of combining the robustness of neural networks and the expressivity of symbolic methods has rekindled the interest in Neuro-Symbolic AI. One specifically interesting branch of research is deep probabilistic programming languages (DPPLs) which carry out probabilistic logical programming via the probability estimations of deep neural networks. However, recent SOTA DPPL approaches allow only for limited conditional probabilistic queries and do not offer the power of true joint probability estimation. In our work, we propose an easy integration of tractable probabilistic inference within a DPPL. To this end we introduce SLASH, a novel DPPL that consists of Neural-Probabilistic Predicates (NPPs) and a logical program, united via answer set programming. NPPs are a novel design principle allowing for the unification of all deep model types and combinations thereof to be represented as a single probabilistic predicate. In this context, we introduce a novel +/- notation for answering various types of probabilistic queries by adjusting the atom notations of a predicate. We evaluate SLASH on the benchmark task of MNIST addition as well as novel tasks for DPPLs such as missing data prediction, generative learning and set prediction with state-of-the-art performance, thereby showing the effectiveness and generality of our method.

Full textAbstract:
The energy crisis engulfing Europe is a crisis of both gas and electricity markets, with huge cost impacts on consumers across all European countries. In Britain, half of typical household energy expenditure arises from electricity. This paper examines how the cost of gas-powered generation feeds through to electricity bills, on the principle of marginal cost pricing, setting the price for most of the time though it accounts for only about 40% of GB generation. Combined with the steep decline in wind and solar costs over the past decade, this has resulted in an unprecedented degree of ‘cost inversion’ in the electricity system. We offer estimates of the increase of revenues across the wholesale market, and outline five principles for reform for addressing the combined challenges of energy costs and accelerating low-carbon transition.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Quantum-enhanced machine learning (QML) represents a paradigm shift in artificial intelligence by integrating quantum computing principles to solve complex computational problems more efficiently than classical methods. By leveraging quantum superposition, entanglement, and parallelism, QML has the potential to accelerate deep learning training, optimize combinatorial problems, and enhance feature selection in high-dimensional spaces. This research explores foundational quantum computing concepts relevant to AI, including quantum circuits, variational quantum algorithms, and quantum kernel methods, while analyzing their impact on neural networks, generative models, and reinforcement learning. Hybrid quantum-classical AI architectures, which combine quantum subroutines with classical deep learning models, are examined for their ability to provide computational advantages in optimization and large-scale data processing. Despite the promise of quantum AI, challenges such as qubit noise, error correction, and hardware scalability remain barriers to full-scale implementation. This study provides an in-depth evaluation of quantum-enhanced AI, highlighting existing applications, ongoing research, and future directions in quantum deep learning, autonomous systems, and scientific computing. The findings contribute to the development of scalable quantum machine learning frameworks, offering novel solutions for next-generation AI systems across finance, healthcare, cybersecurity, and robotics. Keywords Quantum machine learning, quantum computing, artificial intelligence, quantum neural networks, quantum kernel methods, hybrid quantum-classical AI, variational quantum algorithms, quantum generative models, reinforcement learning, quantum optimization, quantum advantage, deep learning, quantum circuits, quantum-enhanced AI, quantum deep learning, error correction, quantum-inspired algorithms, quantum annealing, probabilistic computing.

Full textAbstract:
Crown rot is a severe postharvest disease affecting tropical and subtropical fruits like mango, avocado, papaya, and banana. It is caused by fungal pathogens that penetrate the fruit, reducing its pulp and leading to premature ripening. Systemic fungicides have been used to control these fungi, typically applied to seeds, leaves, or fruits to prevent disease spread. However, traditional fungicides can pose toxicity risks to the environment and human health. Essential oils are chemical substances that can be found in plants and have antifungal capacity. Essential oils are being investigated as an alternative to traditional fungicides since they are less toxic to the environment and human health; however, they are more expensive and less efficient than traditional fungicides. Accordingly, chemically synthesizing the chemical compounds that are the active antifungal agent inside essential oils can be an ecological and effective approach to produce a new generation of antifungals. In this study, modified starch was investigated as a carrier for thymol (active antifungal agent in thyme oil) incorporation using four distinct methods. Emulsions of starch and thymol were prepared and spray dried to obtain a soluble powder that was used to produce coatings. The most effective method for thymol incorporation yields a retention of approximately 40% according to gas chromatography analysis. In-vitro results indicated that thymol incorporated into the matrix exhibited antifungal effects against key fungi responsible for crown rot disease in Cavendish bananas at concentrations greater than 6% w/w relative to the coating matrix.

Full textAbstract:
This paper proposes an integrated framework to analyze jointly two key issues: the emergence of global imbalances and the precautionary motive for accumulating reserves. Standard models of general equilibrium would predict modest current account surpluses in the emerging markets if they face higher risk than the US itself. But, with pronounced Loss Aversion in emerging markets, their precautionary savings can generate substantial global imbalances, especially if there is an inefficient supply of global insurance. In principle, lower real interest rates will ensure that aggregate demand equals supply at a global level (though the required real interest may be negative). While a precautionary savings glut appears to be a temporary phenomenon, a process of correction triggered by a Sudden Stop in capital flows to the United States might lead to a hard landing.
