Type and Elementary Structure: The Anthropological Turn

Jolanda Devalle

As Vidler suggests, the Third Typology’s radical proposition was to identify the nature of architectural elements as neither scientific nor technical but essentially architectural. For Martí Arís, this ‘essence’ of architecture is rooted in form-making, th ...

Joining of Oxide Dispersion-Strengthened Steel Using Spark Plasma Sintering

Cyril Cayron

Difficulties with joining oxide dispersion-strengthened (ODS) steels using classical welding processes have led to the development of alternative joining techniques such as spark plasma sintering (SPS). SPS, which is classically employed for performing sin ...

Bridging the Gap between Semantics and Multimedia Processing

Roberto Gerson De Albuquerque Azevedo

In this paper, we overview the semantic gap problem in multimedia and discuss how machine learning and symbolic AI can be combined to narrow this gap. We describe the semantic gap in terms of a classical architecture for multimedia processing and discuss a ...

Fully symmetrical single-suspension electrodynamic loudspeaker using a Halbach array

Hervé Lissek, Thomas Laurence

Invented at the end of the XIXth century, the electrodynamic loudspeaker has not much changed sincethen. Although the materials have greatly evolved, the geometry and the transduction principle staythe same. In many applications, the presence of two sets o ...

Processing Megapixel Images with Deep Attention-Sampling Models

François Fleuret, Angelos Katharopoulos

Existing deep architectures cannot operate on very large signals such as megapixel images due to computational and memory constraints. To tackle this limitation, we propose a fully differentiable end-to-end trainable model that samples and processes only a ...
