Passage-time distributions from a spin-boson detector model
No full textThe passage-time distribution for a spread-out quantum particle to traverse a specific region is calculated using a detailed quantum model for the detector involved. That model, developed and investigated in earlier works, is based on the detected particle's enhancement of the coupling between a collection of spins (in a metastable state) and their environment. We treat the continuum limit of the model, under the assumption of the Markov property, and calculate the particle state immediately after the first detection. An explicit example with 15 boson modes shows excellent agreement between the discrete model and the continuum limit. Analytical expressions for the passage-time distribution as well as numerical examples are presented. The precision of the measurement scheme is estimated and its optimization discussed. For slow particles, the precision goes like E-3/4, which improves previous E-1 estimates, obtained with a quantum clock model

Analysis of the (1+1) EA on Subclasses of Linear Functions under Uniform and Linear Constraints
No full textLinear functions have gained a lot of attention in the area of run time analysis of evolutionary computation methods and the corresponding analyses have provided many effective tools for analyzing more complex problems. In this paper, we consider the behavior of the classical (1+1) Evolutionary Algorithm for linear functions under linear constraint. We show tight bounds in the case where both the objective and the constraint function is given by the OneMax function and present upper bounds as well as lower bounds for the general case. We also consider the LeadingOnes fitness function.Tobias Friedrich, Timo Kötzing, Gregor Lagodzinski, Frank Neumann, Martin Schirnec
From sound waves to locations : computational models for sound source localization in the early auditory pathway
No full textAudition is our only far-reach omni-directional sense and it plays an important role for survival. Detecting a prey hidden in bushes or a predator sneaking up behind us can be crucial. Our auditory system facilitates us to not just detect such sound sources but also precisely localize them.
This localization is not trivial, but requires intensive processing steps along the auditory pathway. These steps include the binaural integration of signals from the left and right ear and the identification of systematic modifications in the perceived spectrum of a sound. In particular, to localize sound sources in the horizontal plane the interaural time (ITD) and level difference (ILD) are computed.
However, these cues create ambiguous information in the vertical plane. Thus, elevation-dependent spectral cues created by the shape of the ear are identified to localize sounds in the vertical plane. Together with the ITD and ILD, these cues provide a 2D representation of auditory space.
This space is comprised of internally computed auditory cues and therefore needs to be calibrated to create an association with the external world. Such a calibration is realized with a visual guidance signal to further create a common frame of reference and a means for multisensory integration. Computational models that describe all these processing steps are currently either missing or merely specialized on a single stage of the processing pathway.
In this thesis, the auditory pathway for localizing sound \\ sources is investigated by developing canonical computational neural network models of consecutive processing stages. In particular, a model for ILD computation in the lateral superior olive is presented which incorporates a synaptic adaptation mechanism that leads to improved spatial localization of sounds in the horizontal plane. Furthermore, a novel model of spectral cue processing for vertical sound source localization is introduced. This model suggests that localization in the vertical plane is fundamentally binaural but allows for monaural sound source localization. A model of the inferior colliculus describes how cues for horizontal and vertical localization are aligned with a visual teacher signal to provide a common frame of reference. Finally, a multisensory integration model of audio-visual inputs of the superior colliculus demonstrates the importance of cortical feedback for top-down modulation of sensory input. The analysis provides insights on its effect on the Bayesian optimal fusion of multisensory input streams.
Model conception and simulation experiments in this thesis investigate underlying neural principles and provide new hypotheses for auditory sound source localization
Fast building block assembly by majority vote crossover
No full textDifferent works have shown how crossover can help with building block assembly. Typically, crossover might get lucky to select good building blocks from each parent, but these lucky choices are usually rare. In this work we consider a crossover operator which works on three parent individuals. In each component, the offspring inherits the value present in the majority of the parents; thus, we call this crossover operator majority vote. We show that, if good components are sufficiently prevalent in the individuals, majority vote creates an optimal individual with high probability. Furthermore, we show that this process can be amplified: as long as components are good independently and with probability at least 1/2+delta, we require only O(log 1/delta + log log n) successive stages of majority vote to create an optimal individual with high probability! We show how this applies in two scenarios. The first scenario is the Jump test function. With sufficient diversity, we get an optimization time of O(n log n) even for jump sizes as large as O(n(1/2-epsilon)). Our second scenario is a family of vertex cover instances. Majority vote optimizes this family efficiently, while local searches fail and only highly specialized two-parent crossovers are successful.Tobias Friedrich, Timo Kötzing, Martin S.

Educación Artística Comunitaria en Finlandia: entrevista a Timo Jokela
No full textEste artículo presenta un estudio sobre la educación artística comunitaria en la Universidad de Laponia en Finlandia. En primer lugar se analizan las líneas principales de este modelo formativo y de su plan de estudios. En segundo lugar se presenta una entrevista con Timo Jokela, Decano de la Facultad de Arte y Diseño de la Universidad de Laponia y director del Departamento de Educación Artística en esa misma Facultad. En la entrevista Timo Jokela habla de las relaciones entre arte, medio ambiente, comunidad y educación partiendo de su propia experiencia como artista y centrado en el contexto finlandés. También sobre los aspectos sociales, culturales, artísticos y educativos que están implícitos en el modelo de educación artística comunitaria que se pone en práctica, como itinerario formativo, en la Universidad de Laponia.
This article presents a study on community-based art education at the University of Lapland in Finland. First, the main guidelines of this training model and its curriculum are analysed. Second, the author includes an interview with Timo Jokela, Dean of the Faculty of Art and Design of The University of Lapland in Finland and Director of the Department of Art Education at the same faculty. In the interview Timo Jokela draws upon his own experience as an artist in Finland to talk about the relationships between art, the environment, community and education. He also talks about the social, cultural, artistic and educational aspects, which are central to the community-based art education scheme in place at The University of Lapland
