Machine Learning as Meta-Instrument: Human-Machine Partnerships Shaping Expressive Instrumental Creation
Full text linkIn this chapter, I discuss how machine learning algorithms can shape the design of new instruments. Machine learning algorithms can facilitate new types of design outcomes: they enable people to create new types of digital musical instruments. But, I will argue, they are also valuable in facilitating new types of design processes, allowing the instrument creation process to become a more exploratory, playful, embodied, expressive partnership between human and machine. And these qualities of the design process in turn influence the final form of the instrument that is created— as well as the instrument creator herself. My aims in this chapter are: (1) to provide readers new to these ideas an introductory understanding of how supervised learning algorithms can be used to build new digital musical instruments; (2) to demonstrate that supervised learning algorithms are valuable as design tools, bolstering embodied, real-time, creative practices; and (3) to argue that, because the nature of any new musical instrument is intimately tied to the process through which it was designed, a closer attention to the relationships between instrument builders and instrument creation tools can deepen our understanding of new instruments as well as point to opportunities to design both new instruments and creative experiences
Klangliche Interventionen als Methode künstlerischer Forschung: Till Bovermann im Gespräch mit Jana Sehnert
No full textAbstract dt.
Für Dialoge über Gestaltung hat sich die Masterstudentin Jana Sehnert mit dem Sound Artist Till Bovermann über künstlerische Forschung im finnischen Norden, „nicht-invasive“ Begegnungen durch klangliche Interventionen und das überraschende Moment von generativen Systemen unterhalten. Till Bovermann leitet den Masterstudiengang Sound Art an der Hochschule für Musik und Theater München und ist als selbstständiger Künstler (alias LFSaw) tätig. Er arbeitet mit Field Recordings und interaktiver Klangprogrammierung und schafft dadurch klangliche Erfahrungen der Immersion und Reflexion. Seine Arbeiten und selbst entwickelten Musikinstrumente wurden auf internationalen Veranstaltungen gezeigt, u.a. bei der Ars Electronica Linz oder am ZKM Karlsruhe.
Abstract engl.
For Dialogues about Design, postgraduate student Jana Sehnert interviewed sound artist Till Bovermann about artistic research in Northern Finland, ‘non-invasive’ encounters through sound interventions and the surprising moments of generative systems. Bovermann heads the Master\u27s programme in Sound Art at the University of Music and Performing Arts Munich, and works as an independent artist under the alias LFSaw. He creates immersive and reflective sound experiences using field recordings and interactive sound programming. His work and self-developed musical instruments have been exhibited at international events including Ars Electronica Linz and ZKM Karlsruhe.
Tangible auditory interfaces : combining auditory displays and tangible interfaces
Full text linkBovermann T. Tangible auditory interfaces : combining auditory displays and tangible interfaces. Bielefeld (Germany): Bielefeld University; 2009.Tangible Auditory Interfaces (TAIs) investigates into the capabilities of the interconnection of Tangible User Interfaces and Auditory Displays. TAIs utilise artificial physical objects as well as soundscapes to represent digital information. The interconnection of the two fields establishes a tight coupling between information and operation that is based on the human's familiarity with the incorporated interrelations. This work gives a formal introduction to TAIs and shows their key features at hand of seven proof of concept applications
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
