‘Floating Island’ and ‘Veranda’: Sharing Media in Urban Shanshui
No full textIn contemporary high-density urban environments, waterfront views are extremely valuable. As an important section of the ‘ Huangpu River and Suzhou Creek’ strategic plan, the southern section of Yangpu Riverside in Shanghai is facing the challenges of reconstruction in terms of scale, function, landscape and vitality. This study abstracts the elements of two shared media, ‘floating island’ and ‘veranda’ from traditional gardens. The medium system of ‘floating island + veranda’ is expressed in different scales and different heights. The four elements of ‘floating island’ include bottom with blurred edges, mixed function and crowd, porous middle facade and undulating roof. The four elements of ‘veranda’ include continuous urban interface, raised ground, vertical sharing space and view corridor overlooking the landscape. These elements are embodied in the exemplary design proposal of the Yangpu Riverside Shared Apartment. In the process of combined reconstruction from micro to macro and bottom to top, we should fully consider the height change of people's viewpoints, and flexibly use the opposite scenery, obstructing scenery and expanding urban corridors, so as to seek a contemporary interpretation of traditional landscape intentions.

Building Energy Use Intensity Prediction with Artificial Neural Networks
No full textIn this paper the authors propose the construction and examine
the performance of the artificial neural network for energy use intensity prediction
for residential buildings. The network’s type is the standard multilayer
perceptron and its training dataset contains the data of 768 residential
buildings where the training pattern for an individual building consists of
8 parameters describing the building’s geometry along with its lighting and
glazing conditions while the only output value is the building’s actual energy
use intensity characteristics. Experimental study shows that the mean absolute
percentage error of prediction of the energy use intensity evaluated for
buildings data present in the network’s test set does not exceed 1.8%, what
might be considered a highly satisfactory result
Towards Ontology-Driven Verification of Car Claims Settlement
No full textIn the paper, we outline an intelligent tool enabling the users to
automatize the process of verification of the car claims settlement. Two data
sources power the tool. The first one is the source of car images in which
damaged elements are recognized. The second one is the source of PDF
files in which cost estimates are extracted. The designed ontology of car
repair, described in the paper, is used both in the pre-processing step and in
recognition of a typical situations
Jerusalem beyond the walls
No full textIn Jerusalem two parts coexist critically: the Old City, a historical-symbolic palimpsest always affected by traumatic transformations and the new neighborhoods outside the walls. The Old City, from the 20th Century, lives the dual condition of being a city-museum and a place of ethnic-religious conflict at the same time, while the new districts isolate the walled city with a fragmented ring in which planned Israelis neighborhoods and those spontaneous Palestinians are opposed, wedged between sacred areas. Today this condition defines a historical heritage in which places full of memories are confronted with a contradictory and mostly degraded urban context. The aim of the paper is to analyze the area that separates the Old City from the ‘new city’, along the Kidron valley. The conflict between the monumental and landscape palimpsest and the degradation characterizing this unique place is the basis of the discussion which wants to reflect on the possibility of introjecting the problematic reality of the transformations that in recent decades have partly obscured the legibility of the monumental polycentric landscape of Jerusalem. Attempting to reveal some critical issues that hopefully will be useful for the debate involving the relationship between ‘contemporary’ and ‘ancient’, understood as ‘active’ conservation of urban cultural heritage, i.e. protection inside a dynamic of mutations. Moreover, the research will contribute to deepen the interpretation of urban phenomena in contexts in which a symbolic stratified tissue is confronted with incoherent and traumatic urban process, typical of areas of conflict

Identification of Damaged AIS Data Based on Clustering and Multi-Label Classification
No full textAutomatic Identification System (AIS) is a telecommunication system
that allows ships to communicate with each other by sending information
regarding their trajectory: location, speed, course and so on. Due to some
technical issues, some parts of the transmitted data might be damaged or
incomplete. In this paper, we propose a machine learning based approach
for detecting AIS data that requires reconstruction. The general idea of the
proposed approach, utilizing clustering and mutli-label classification algorithms,
and its performance are discussed
Construction of flood control planning model for historical and cultural towns near the river: Taking Daxu Ancient Town as an example
No full textIn the stage of rapid development of global warming and urbanization, the contradiction between the production and living needs of citizens and the frequent waterlogging is prominent. The existing basic research on flood disasters focuses more on cities and watersheds, and less on suburban revitalization. However, under the guidance of the traditional idea of selecting the location of camps, China has built a large number of historical and cultural ancient towns along the river, all of which face huge flood risks. The frequent occurrence of flood disasters continues to threaten the production and living space of residents, making it difficult for residents to lack happiness in life and difficult to protect the historical heritage of ancient towns. At the same time, due to the limitation of financial resources and manpower, the efficiency of rescue organizations has been greatly reduced, making the protection of ancient towns in a more difficult situation. Taking Daxu Ancient Town in Guilin City, Guangxi Province as an example, this paper introduces in detail the use of building space, protection response methods and emergency response modes in the face of flood disasters, proposes the ancient town protection response strategy for flood disasters and constructs a protection model, so as to provide a basis for the planning and management of ancient town protection and flood prevention and emergency rescue
On the Selection of a Machine Learning model in TinyML Devices – Preliminary Study
No full textThe expected development of TinyML-related technologies will
necessitate the development of methods for efficient use of energy resources.
In this article, we present preliminary study of machine learning (ML) model
selection in TinyML devices in order to reach a tradeoff between accuracy
and energy consumption. We study various use cases with different ML models.
Our research shows that the presented method can improve the TinyML
system in terms of operation time at the cost of slightly lower accuracy
An analysis of the spatial evolution and construction experience of the Ancient Fuzhou City
No full textTo excavate construction experience of an ancient city as the main theme, on the basis of combing the planning essential, this study reveals the planning experience and its humanistic connotation of the ancient Fuzhou city in the aspects of choosing site, establishing axis, function and artistic conception through its space evolution, in order to provide a new path for the contemporary urban planning. The results show that, the ancient Fuzhou city has realized the double governance of space and society, and contributed to the city pattern of ‘mountain-water-city’ integration and the spatial place cohering spirits through a large-scale spatial axis, function pattern of ‘three circle layers’, landscape construction showing mountain and water,= and spatial system full of humanistic connotation. Contemporary planners should absorb the significance from the traditional planning, thereby fostering the connection between ancient and modern urban planning and realizing the inheritance and promotion of traditional wisdom
