From Synapses to Rules: Discovering Symbolic Rules from Neural Processed Data

2002 y.
Publisher: Springer
Description: Proceedings of the International School on Neural Nets `E.R. Caianiello` Fifth Course: From Synapses to Rules: Discovering Symbolic Rules From Neural Processed Data, held 25 February - 7 March, 2002, in Erice, Sicily, Italy. The book aims to propose a theoretical and applicatory framework for extracting formal rules from data. To this end recent approaches in relevant disciplines are examined that bring together two typical goals of conventional Artificial Intelligence and connectionism -- respectively,deducing within an axiomatic shell formal rules about a phenomenon and inferring the actual behavior of it from examples -- into a challenging inferential framework where we learn from data and understand what we have learned. The goal is to obtain a translation of the subsymbolic structure of the data -- stored in the synapses of a neural network -- into formal properties described by rules. To capture this journey from synapses to rules and then render it manageable for real world… [detailed...]

From Syntax to Discourse: Pronominal Clitics, Null Subjects and Infinitives in Child Language (Studies in Theoretical Psycholinguistics, Volume 29)

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: This book investigates typical phenomena of early child language from a cross-linguistic perspective. The investigation centers on the acquisition of pronominal clitics in production and comprehension, and especially on the well-known phase of infinitiveproduction and subject omission. Other areas such as early negation and question-formation are treated in the context of the above phenomena. The book provides a unique comparative database for these areas of language acquisition from the point of view of Romance and Germanic languages in presenting results on Danish, Dutch, English, French, German, and other languages. On the basis of these broad and detailed empirical results, the author proceeds to evaluate current models and hypotheses advanced for the above phenomena from a theoretical perspective. A formal investigation of the semantics and pragmatics of pronouns and tense leads to the conclusion that discourse anchorage, which is problematic for young children, is mediated by… [detailed...]

Frank Popper
From Technological to Virtual Art

2007 y.
Publisher: The MIT Press
Description: In From Technological to Virtual Art , respected historian of art and technology Frank Popper traces the development of immersive, interactive new media art from its historical antecedents through today`s digital, multimedia, and networked art. Popper shows that contemporary virtual art is a further refinement of the technological art of the late twentieth century and also a departure from it. What is new about this new media art, he argues, is its humanization of technology, its emphasis on interactivity, its philosophical investigation of the real and the virtual, and its multisensory nature. He argues further that what distinguishes the artists who practice virtual art from traditional artists is their combined commitment to aesthetics and technology. Their `extra-artistic` goals -- linked to their aesthetic intentions -- concern not only science and society but also basic human needs and drives. Defining virtual art broadly as art that allows us, through an… [detailed...]

Description: `This book should be on the shelf of every serious scholar of service management, human resource management, and financial institutions.` --- Patrick T. Harker, The Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania Once stolid, strictly regulated organizations that epitomized lifetime employment, retail banks are now highly competitive enterprises with fragmented career structures and a new focus on sales and performance. Because banks are a major employer of labor, such changes have important implications for the workplace experiences and job opportunities of a significant proportion of the workforce in OECD and newly industrialized countries. This book is the outcome of intensive study of selected banks in Australia, France, Germany, Great Britain, Italy, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Spain, and the United States. As part of a larger project on industrial relations and human resource management practices, researchers in each country explored the changing industry context and… [detailed...]

From Traveling Show to Vaudeville : Theatrical Spectacle in America, 1830-1910

2003 y.

Description: Book Description Before phonographs and moving pictures, live performances dominated American popular entertainment. Carnivals, circuses, dioramas, magicians, mechanical marvels, musicians, and theatrical troupes -- all visited rural fairgrounds, small-town opera houses, and big-city palaces around the country, giving millions of people an escape from their everyday lives for a dime or a quarter. In From Traveling Show to Vaudeville , Robert M. Lewis has assembled a remarkable collection of nineteenth- and early twentieth-century primary sources that document America`s age of theatrical spectacle. In eight parts, Lewis explores, in turn, dime museums, minstrelsy, circuses, melodramas, burlesque shows, Wild West shows, amusement parks, and vaudeville. Included in this compendium are biographies, programs, ephemera produced by theatrical entrepreneurs to lure audiences to their shows, photographs, scripts, and song lyrics as well as newspaper accounts, reviews, and… [detailed...]

From Underdogs To Tigers: The Rise And Growth Of The Software Industry In Brazil, China, India, Ireland, And Isreal

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionIn 1980 the Indian software industry was practically non-existent. By the 1990s the industry was one of the largest employers in manufacturing. Similar patterns of growth can be found in other emerging economies. So given that the software industry is commonly viewed as a high-tech industry, how is it that such spectacular growth has occurred in countries where high-tech industries would not seem likely to develop? This book examines the reasons behind this phenomenon, and asks whetherit suggests a new model of economic development. The contributors explore the implications of the rise of these newcomers to the software market for the global industry, and whether there are things to be learned about the role of human capital in economic growth, firm formulation and capabilities, business and managerial models and industry structure. Chapters include country studies on Brazil, China, India, Ireland and Israel and are complemented by cross-cutting chapters on some of… [detailed...]
