Il turismo musicale a Catania: valorizzazione e fruizione dei luoghi belliniani
No full textNegli ultimi decenni in Italia si è registrato un notevole incremento di eventi culturali che rispondono a domande e bisogni sociali. Catania si sta preparando ad ospitare il Festival Belliniano sui modelli di Bergamo, Parma e Pesaro. Nel lavoro si propongono i risultati di una analisi per misurare l’interesse della collettività e dei vari attori coinvolti nella valorizzazione
dei luoghi belliniani. L’obiettivo è di cogliere e analizzare i fattori che possono agevolare una nuova offerta turistica locale, coerentemente con uno sviluppo turistico equilibrato e integrato della città.In Italy, in recent decades, there has been a significant increase in cultural events that respond to social questions and needs. Catania is preparing to host the Bellini Festival on the model of Bergamo, Parma and Pesaro. This work proposes the results of an analysis to measure the interest of the community and the various stakeholders involved in the enhancement and promotion of Bellini’s places. The goal is to grasp and analyze the factors that can facilitate a new local tourist offer, consistently with a perspective of a balanced and integrated tourism development of the city
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
On the Efficiency of AdapTTA: An Adaptive Test-Time Augmentation Strategy for Reliable Embedded ConvNets
Get PDFTest-Time Augmentation (TTA) is a popular technique that aims to improve the accuracy of Convolutional Neural Networks (ConvNets) at inference-time. TTA addresses a limitation inherent to any deep learning pipeline, that is, training datasets cover only a tiny portion of the possible inputs. For this reason, when ported to real-life scenarios, ConvNets may suffer from substantial accuracy loss due to unseen input patterns received under unpredictable external conditions that can mislead the model. TTA tackles this problem directly on the field, first running multiple inferences on a set of altered versions of the same input sample and then computing the final outcome through a consensus of the aggregated predictions. TTA has been conceived to run on cloud systems powered with high-performance GPUs, where the altered inputs get processed in parallel with no (or negligible) performance overhead. Unfortunately, when shifted on embedded CPUs, TTA introduces latency penalties that limit its adoption for edge applications. For a more efficient resource usage, we can rely on an adaptive implementation of TTA, AdapTTA, that adjusts the number of inferences dynamically, depending on the input complexity. In this work, we assess the figures of merit of the AdapTTA framework, exploring different configurations of its basic blocks, i.e., the augmentation policy, the predictions aggregation function, and the model confidence score estimator, suitable for the integration with the proposed adaptive system. We conducted an extensive experimental evaluation, considering state-of-the-art ConvNets for image classification, MobileNets and EfficientNets, deployed onto a commercial embedded device, the ARM Cortex-A CPU. The collected results reveal that thanks to optimal design choices, AdapTTA ensures substantial acceleration compared to a static TTA, with up to 2.21x faster processing preserving the same accuracy level. This comprehensive analysis helps designers identify the most efficient AdapTTA configuration for custom inference engines running on the edge
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
