Project Triton : A study into delivering targeted information to an individual based on implicit and explicit data.
No full textThe World Wide Web is frequently seen as a source of knowledge, however much of this remains undiscovered by its users. In recent times, recommender systems (e.g. Digg and Last.fm) have attempted to bridge this gap, alerting users to previously untapped knowledge. As more socially oriented services appear on the Web (e.g. Facebook and MySpace), it has never been easier to obtain information pertaining to an individual’s interests. At present, solutions for automated data recommendation tend to be highly topic specific (recommending only a certain topic such as news) and often only allow access to the system using monolithic interfaces. This report hopes to detail the stages from research to evaluation involved in creating an extensible framework, which will operate without the need for human intervention. The framework will feature several proof-of-concept plugins residing in a custom workflow, which target information that is useful to the user. Information will be retrieved automatically through plugins involved with data gathering (such as feed processing and page scraping), while users’ interests will be obtained implicitly (for example, using header information to derive location) or explicitly (taking advantage of Social Network APIs such as Facebook Connect). Finally, Third Parties will be able to integrate the framework into their own solutions using the customisable XML API (written in PHP), so that their products can provide custom user interfaces without style constraints

“VENERE PRIVATA” DA SCERBANENCO A BACILIERI: LINGUA, STILE E RETORICA DALLA LETTERATURA AL FUMETTO
No full textIl romanzo Venere privata di Giorgio Scerbanenco (1966) è tra i capostipiti del giallo italiano contemporaneo e introduce il personaggio Duca Lamberti, medico radiato dall’ordine per aver praticato l’eutanasia su una paziente e diventato, una volta scontata la pena, consulente della polizia milanese. La narrazione, la lingua e lo stile dell’autore, già studiati da diversi interventi specialistici, sono ora oggetto dell’adattamento a fumetti di Paolo Bacilieri, apparso a puntate sulla rivista Linus a partire dall’agosto 2021. La pubblicazione dovrebbe concludersi in rivista entro l’anno, ed è prevista per l’autunno 2022 l’edizione integrale in volume per Oblomov. Il presente studio affronta le prime sei puntate dell’adattamento, ne studia la lingua e lo stile in relazione al testo originale, la raffigurazione di ambienti, personaggi e situazioni in relazione agli elementi diegetici del romanzo e a modelli esterni usati da Bacilieri, infine la configurazione degli elementi iconici e verbali nelle tavole in prospettiva retorica. Ciò consente di comprendere non solo il processo e il concetto di adattamento attuati dall’autore, ma anche la lettura e l’interpretazione che questi ha fatto del racconto, della lingua e dello stile del testo originario.
Venere privata from Scerbanenco and Bacilieri: language, style and rhetoric from literature to comics
Giorgio Scerbanenco’s novel Venere privata (1966) is among the progenitors of the contemporary Italian detective story and introduces the character Duca Lamberti, a doctor disbarred for practicing euthanasia on a patient and becoming, once he has served his sentence, a consultant to the Milanese police. The author’s narrative, language and style, which have already been studied by several specialist papers, are now the subject of Paolo Bacilieri\u27s comic book adaptation, appearing serialized in Linus magazine starting in August 2021. The publication is expected to be completed in the magazine within the year, and a full volume edition for Oblomov is planned for Fall 2022. The present study deals with the first six installments of the adaptation, studying the language and style in relation to the original text, the depiction of the environments, characters and situations in relation to the diegetic elements of the novel and external models used by Bacilieri, and finally the configuration of the iconic and verbal elements in the tables in rhetorical perspective. This allows us to understand not only the process and concept of adaptation implemented by the author, but also his reading and interpretation of the story, language and style of the original text
Liberales y católicos, populistas y militares. El imaginario organicista y la producción del “enemigo interno” en la historia de América Latina
No full textLa categoría de enemigo interior resulta ser una categoría política y moral recurrente en la historia política y social, cuyo potencial destructivo y autoritario puede quedar contenido en parte o ser metabolizado por culturas e instituciones políticas pluralistas. Sin embargo, en Latinoamérica la imagen del enemigo interior no ha cesado hasta hoy de reaparecer con sorprendente ímpetu y periodicidad bajo formas diversas e incluso con contenidos opuestos: con perfil moderado o radical, reaccionario o revolucionario, xenófobo o cosmopolita. Casi siempre su peso ha llegado a inhibir la consolidación de la praxis y de las ideas democráticas y pluralistas que hubieran podido limitar su carga destructiva. ¿A qué se debe esto? La interpretación propuesta en estas páginas es sin duda parcial, conscientemente parcial, ajena a toda pretensión de centrar la causa de un fenómeno tan complejo que escapa a fáciles explicaciones teleológicas o monocausales. Pretende señalar más bien un camino, ofrecer una serie de intuiciones que nos remontan en última instancia a tiempos remotos y nos sumergen en lo más profundo de la estructura inmaterial de las sociedades latinoamericanas.
¿Cuál podría ser la síntesis última de esta interpretación? La idea que los eventos históricos en Latinoamérica han podido generar y reproducir a lo largo del tiempo ciertos elementos ideales y materiales particularmente fértiles para que la categoría de enemigo interior conservase una elevada capacidad de explicación del mundo y de las causas de sus males. Entre estos males vale la pena recordar los fundamentales. En primer lugar el hecho que las sociedades de América Latina crecieron a partir de una especie de falla, el llamado trauma de la Conquista. Una fractura que los sucesivos flujos de población, la organización del espacio y el encuentro con el mundo exterior no llegaron a colmar; es más, la profundizaron aún más. Pero esas sociedades tan laceradas por la historia y fraccionadas por sólidas barreras étnicas y culturales fueron plasmadas por el universalismo católico, por la idea del orden terreno como imagen del orden armónico de lo creado. Dicho en modo brutal: esas sociedades estructuralmente segmentadas se basaron desde el inicio en el principio del humanismo, de la armonía. El reflejo más evidente fue, y es aún hoy, la tenaz recurrencia de un imaginario social organicista, que en la división de la sociedad postula el fin de la armonía colectiva. Un imaginario que con el tiempo, como se ha visto, ha impregnado la cultura política de la región mucho más allá de los confines de la tradición explícitamente cristiana, como si fuese una especie de DNA común a todos en mayor o menor grado.
Este fundamento ideal monista ha dejado en herencia una peculiar aversión por el conflicto. Aversión a su vez basada en una sólida cultura de la armonía como condición natural de la sociedad. La convivencia con el conflicto, pues, ha resultado más difícil que en otras partes, igual que la adopción de estrategias políticas o institucionales que lo regulasen. Y ello aunque no faltasen conflictos en sociedades tan divididas. Sin embargo, éstos fueron percibidos casi siempre como síntoma de sufrimiento del cuerpo social. Un sufrimiento que era preciso eliminar, igual que se extirpa un tumor de un cuerpo enfermo para restituirle la salud; o bien como catarsis, revoluciones, acciones colectivas cuya meta era purificar el organismo social de sus impurezas. El subversivo en el primer caso, el oligarca en el segundo, se han vuelto así virus, arquetipos del enemigo interior. En otras palabras, la lógica amigo-enemigo, tan recurrente en la historia de Latinoamérica, parecería más bien la trasposición secular del binomio teológico salvación-condena, en un ámbito cultural en el que la laicización del espacio público ha encontrado un obstáculo portentoso: la tradición del monismo confesional, propensa por su naturaleza al humanismo y poco favorable al pluralismo. Una tradición que ningún ..

: Two Datasets for the Computational Authorship Analysis of Medieval Latin Texts
No full textWe present and make available MedLatinEpi and MedLatinLit, two datasets of medieval Latin texts to be used in research
on computational authorship analysis. MedLatinEpi and MedLatinLit consist of 294 and 30 curated texts, respectively,
labelled by author; MedLatinEpi texts are of epistolary nature, while MedLatinLit texts consist of literary comments and
treatises about various subjects. As such, these two datasets lend themselves to supporting research in authorship analysis
tasks, such as authorship attribution, authorship verification, or same-author verification. Along with the datasets, we provide
experimental results, obtained on these datasets, for the authorship verification task, i.e., the task of predicting whether a
text of unknown authorship was written by a candidate author. We also make available the source code of the authorship
verification system we have used, thus allowing our experiments to be reproduced, and to be used as baselines, by other
researchers. We also describe the application of the above authorship verification system, using these datasets as training
data, for investigating the authorship of two medieval epistles whose authorship has been disputed by scholars.

SAT vs. Translation Based decision procedures for modal logics: a comparative evaluation
No full textThis paper follows on previous papers which present and evaluate various decision procedures for modal logics. It confirms previous experimental results in showing that SAT based decision procedures, i.e., the procedures built on top of decision procedures for propositional satisfiability, are more efficient than tableau based decision procedures. It also confirms previous evidence of an easy-hard-easy pattern in the satisfiability curve for modal K. Finally, it provides further experimental results, suggesting that SAT based decision procedures are also more efficient than the decision procedures based on translation methods. These results contradict some of the claims presented in previous papers by other author
Experimental Study of Coarse Soil Properties Influencing Soil Abrasivity
No full textAbstractThe paper reports selected results of a study on tool wear for mechanized tunnelling in coarse soil. Several laboratory soil abrasion tests were performed and the results correlated with mineralogical composition, shape and surface roughness of the grains and the grain size curve of the soils. The analysis of the results clearly confirms the well-known correlation between soil abrasivity and quartz content and, for the soils tested, can quantify the relevant influence of grain size and grain roughness. We also report and discuss results useful for quantifying the positive effect of the addition of different chemical agents, injected as foams in a process known as soil conditioning, commonly performed in mechanized tunnel excavation using tunnel boring machines whit earth pressure technology to minimise tool consumption
The Epistle to Cangrande Through the Lens of Computational Authorship Verification
No full textThe Epistle to Cangrande is one of the most controversial among the works of Italian poet Dante Alighieri. For more than a hundred years now, scholars have been debating over its real paternity, i.e., whether it should be considered a true work by Dante or a forgery by an unnamed author. In this work we address this philological problem through the methodologies of (supervised) Computational Authorship Verification, by training a classifier that predicts whether a given work is by Dante Alighieri or not. We discuss the system we have set up for this endeavour, the training set we have assembled, the experimental results we have obtained, and some issues that this work leaves open
