The future of pornography - panel debate. Speakers | Finn Mackay, Rowan Pelling, Peter Tatchell
No full textMany believe that porn's dark fantasies risk corrupting relationships and society. Has this arisen because pornography is largely created by men? Could feminist pornography featuring authentic sex, diverse bodies and female perspectives offer a truly liberating alternative? Or is porn fundamentally incompatible with intimacy and a problem for all of us until its abolished? Feminist thinker Finn Mackay, author of Belle de Jour: Diary of a London Call Girl Brooke Magnanti, human rights campaigner Peter Tatchell and Erotic Review editor Rowan Pelling imagine the future of pornography.In association with the New College of the Humanities
Author response: critical condition: replacing critical thinking with creativity by Patrick Finn
No full textFollowing Jodie Matthews’s review of his new book Critical Condition: Replacing Critical Thinking with Creativity, author Patrick Finn offers a response to Matthews’s reflections on his work. Finn outlines his approach to writing Critical Condition: a text that is designed to serve as an accessible ‘thought experiment’ that speaks across disciplines in order to explore its object, ‘critical thinking’. For Finn, critical thinking is a concept that appears integral to academic practice, yet remains under-defined and in need of further elucidation. Critical Condition therefore seeks to inspire collective reflection on critical thinking and its relationship with creativity
Francis J. (Francis James) Finn memorial holy card
No full textFuneral prayer card for Francis J. (Francis James) Finn, 1859-1928. The front of the card contains a photograph of Father Finn and biographical information. The back of the card contains a prayer for the repose of his soul and a prayer from St. Ignatius. This card was made by an unknown publisher. Finn was an associate pastor of St. Xavier Church (Cincinnati, Ohio), a member of the board of trustees at Xavier University, (Cincinnati, Ohio), and the author of many books for adolescents.https://www.exhibit.xavier.edu/jesuit_holy_cards/1019/thumbnail.jp
Solitude versus sharing : author-ity in Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.
No full textThis essay will explore how Twain, as author, makes use of Huck as the “author” of his own life story to portray a child’s character and morality. In conjunction with this portrayal, it will also explore the literary techniques of narrative style pertaining to the unreliable first-person narrative and the use of the vernacular, as well as the construction of experience in a book that is narrated episodically. The themes of isolation versus community and authorship as discussed through John Donne’s epigraph contribute to an understanding of these formal aspects of Twain’s style in Huckleberry Finn. Just as its composition has been informed by various life sources and experiences, a reading of the book cannot simply be informed by one analysis, but by multiple perspectives. The essay will also briefly discuss the issue of cultural and context specificity involved in Huckspeech. In line with this issue, the narrative will be compared, in part, to Cisneros’s The House on Mango Street which also employs a culturally-bound child narrator similar to Huck. The comparisons with her work further inform Huckspeech as a blend of cultural and linguistic forms as both novels combine the literary and linguistic techniques of the child’s perspective, retrospective narration and the vernacular.Bachelor of Art

Improving the usability and scalability of FINN, a DNN compiler for FPGAs
No full textFINN is a framework developed by Xilinx Research Labs that compiles Deep Neural Network software descriptions into fast and scalable dataflow architectures for inference acceleration on FPGAs. The dataflowarchitectures are network dependent, sized according to the user-defined throughput requirements, and constrained by available resources on the user-specified FPGA board. Synthesising large neural network designswith a high degree of configurability leads to large build times, spanning from hours to days, to build an entire network. Thus, the first objective of this thesis is to explore and propose a modified FINN accelerator construction methodology that can substantially reduce the build times. The main idea behind our proposal is to reduce the granularity of the architecture to reduce the size of synthesis jobs and to enable logic reuse within and across neural network layers. Using this method, up to 12× speedup in High-Level Synthesis times and up to 2× speedup in end-to-end build times of accelerator networks are achieved.The second limitation that this work addresses relates to the performance scalability of FINN generated architectures. There are two modes of parallelism in FINN that currently provide performance scaling in convolution operations. The first factor, which modifies the number of Processing Elements (PEs), parallelises along the input channels of a convolutional layer and the second factor, that modifies the number of Single Instruction Multiple Data (SIMD) lanes present in each PE, parallelises along the number of output channels ofthe convolution. Computations are currently not parallelisable across the non-depth dimensions of images, i.e., the side containing pixels of images that faces the viewer. This limitation can restrict the achievable performance for networks that contain layers with large image dimensions and shallow depth dimension. The second part of this work leverages the fine-grained construction methodology to augment FINN performance scaling. The proposed approach introduces a generic FINN modification that enables pixel-level parallelism,i.e., multiple output pixels of a convolutional layer can be processed simultaneously by performing Multiple Matrix Vector (MMV) multiplications at the same time. Using this generic method, MMV number of pixels can be processed simultaneously, an MMV times throughput increase can be obtained at the cost of less than MMV × additional resources
