Defining an open source CAD workflow for experimental music and media arts
No full textThe practice of designing and building instruments, interfaces and hardware in general, became a crucial part of contemporary audio and media arts productions. This task could benefit from the high performance tools offered by state of the art Open source Computer Aided Design (CAD). Although these applications have reached a good level of maturity, their use in the artistic field is still not so widespread, due to an initial barrier probably caused by a lack of accessible documentation and best practices. This article aims to analyse and experiment a variety of open source Computer Aided Design (CAD) applications with the goal of further spread the use of open source CAD software among media artists, designers,and researchers in the field of STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, Mathematics) applications[17]. Following a research through design approach, we will provide up date guidelines regarding how to design every aspect of an electronic music interface using exclusively open source software. To represent the various topics of our research we defined a hypothetical electronic device, and the workflow will be illustrated by describing and analysing all the steps that is necessary to cover in order to to bring such object from a breadboard overloaded with wires and components to a more stable and reliable prototype. Open source software can play an important role in terms of democratization and long term sustainability of many initiatives [7], and this article aims to help a vast number of workers and researchers in the field of sound and media art to embrace those virtuous software in their artistic practices
Gender knowledge and Artificial Intelligence
No full textAmong the various types of biases that can be recognised in the behaviour of algorithms learning from data, gender-related biases assume particular importance in certain contexts, such as the Italian one, traditionally linked to a patriarchal vision of society. This becomes even more true considering the context of university education, where there is a strong under-representation of female students in STEM Faculties, and, particularly, in Computer Science Courses. After a brief review of gender biases reported in Machine Learning-based systems, the experience of the teaching “Gender Knowledge and Ethics in Artificial Intelligence” active since A.Y. 2021-22 at the School of Engineering of the University of Padova is presented

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
