Online learning over graphs
No full textWe apply classic online learning techniques similar to the perceptron algorithm to the problem of learning a function defined on a graph. The benefit of our approach includes simple algorithms and performance guarantees that we naturally interpret in terms of structural properties of the graph, such as the algebraic connectivity or the diameter of the graph. We also discuss how these methods can be modified to allow active learning on a graph. We present preliminary experiments with encouraging results
A Última Hora da pré-história do jornalismo brasileiro
No full textA story that begins at the end. Thus can be defined the saga reported by Benicio Medeiros in the book A rotativa parou! Os últimos dias da Ultima Hora de Samuel Wainer. The publication, according to the author, was originated of a short article that should be written about the celebrations on the 200 years of Brazilian press and on the centenary of the ABI (Brazilian Press Association).Una historia que empeza por el final. Así se puede definir la saga relatada por Benicio Medeiros en el libro La rotativa se ha detenido! Los últimos días de la última hora de Samuel Wainer. El libro, según el autor, nació de un pequeño artículo que debería ser escrito a propósito de las conmemoraciones de los 200 años de prensa en Brasil y del centenario de la ABI (Asociación Brasileña de Prensa).Uma história que se inicia pelo fim.

Cut-elimination, substitution and normalisation
No full textDate of Acceptance: 01/2015We present a proof (of the main parts of which there is a formal version, checked with the Isabelle proof assistant) that, for a G3-style calculus covering all of intuitionistic zero-order logic, with an associated term calculus, and with a particular strongly normalising and confluent system of cut-reduction rules, every reduction step has, as its natural deduction translation, a sequence of zero or more reduction steps (detour reductions, permutation reductions or simplifications). This complements and (we believe) clarifies earlier work by (e.g.) Zucker and Pottinger on a question raised in 1971 by Kreisel.Peer reviewe
28 Three Statistical Paradoxes in the Interpretation of Group Differences: Illustrated with Medical School Admission and Licensing Data
No full textFine Tuning of Aperiodic Ordered Structures for Speech Intelligibility
No full textSpeech intelligibility is crucial in many spaces, yet designers often fail to predict the acoustic shortcomings of certain design choices. This paper builds on the potential of hybrid surface treatments showcasing low-frequency absorption to control background noise levels and high-frequency diffusion to improve speech-in-noise perception to introduce a workflow that encodes this information in a format easily perceived by designers. After patterns are being classified based on periodicity into partly periodic, non-periodic or aperiodic, a matrix serves as a rule of thumb communicating to non-experts the critical variables for high-frequency diffusion, such as well depth sequence, scale and profile. These become inputs of a computational process that generates variations to tailor patterns for speechintelligibility. Lastly, plotted graphs that visualize quantitative figures obtained from simulations are marked by a bounding box relative to the effective frequency range for designers to evaluate examined patterns during the process of optioneering. This integrated workflow targets architects and designers that seek for visual feedback to support an iterative exploration of performance driven geometries, while recognizing the contribution of aperiodic order to uniformly distribute the flow of sound energy.Design InformaticsBuilding Physic
Optimisation of Complex Geometry High-Rise Buildings based on Wind Load Analysis
No full textWind analysis for the structure of buildings is a challenging process. The increasing strength and frequency of wind events due to climate change only add higher demands. In addition, high-rise buildings are growing in number and include many of unconventional shape. Current methods used in practice for calculating structural wind response either do not account for these geometries, such as the Eurocode or are prohibitively time-consuming and expensive, such as physical wind tunnel tests and complex Computational Fluid Dynamics simulations. As such, wind loads are usually only considered towards the end of design. This paper presents the development of a computational method to analyse the effect of wind on the structural behaviour of a 3D building model and optimise the external geometry to reduce those effects at an early design phase. It combines Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), Finite Element Analysis (FEA), and an Optimisation algorithm. This allows it to be used in an early design stage for performance-based design exploration in complement to the more traditional late-stage methods outlined above. The method was implemented into a rapid and easy to use computational tool by combining existing plugins in Grasshopper into a single script that can be used in practice on complex shaped parametric high-rise building models. After developing the method and testing the timeliness and precision of the CFD, and FEA portions on case study buildings, the tool was able to output an optimal geometry as well as a database of improved geometric options with their corresponding performance for the wind loading allowingfor performance-based decision-making in the early design phase.Design InformaticsStructural Design & Mechanic
A Performance-Driven Approach for the Design of Cellular Geometries with Low Thermal Conductivity for Application in 3D-Printed Façade Components
No full textAdditive manufacturing allows the fabrication of complex geometries with enhanced performances, making it interesting for application in façade components. Assessing the performance of non-standard geometries and 3D printed parts requires a combination of digital and analytical methods to retrieve validated models which can guide the design process. In this study a 3D printed mono-material façade component was designed, where the complex geometrical configuration enhance its thermal insulation properties. For this, a digital workflow was developed, encompassing performance-driven design, performance assessment and geometry generation for fabrication.Analytical heat transfer models, heat flux measurements, and heat transfer simulations with COMSOL Multiphysics were used to assess the thermal properties of different geometrical alternatives. By observing and comparing the results, a validated model was defined to retrieve design guidelines and thermal performance indicators. The results identify porosity as the driving factor for thermal insulation and clarify the nature of the heat transfer in 3D printed cellular structures. Open surface-based geometries were preferred for the good combination of thermal properties and manufacturability. The findings are embedded in a digital workflow in Rhino-Grasshopper, enabling the design of insulating cellular structures to be used in 3D printed façade components.Design InformaticsBuilding Physic
