At the beginning of the 19th century, the Napoleonic administration introduced a new standardised description system to give an objective account of the form and functions of the city of Venice. The cadastre, deployed on a European scale, was offering for ...
Music analysis, in particular harmonic analysis, is concerned with the way pitches are organized in pieces of music, and a range of empirical applications have been developed, for example, for chord recognition or key finding. Naturally, these approaches r ...
The use of smartphone sensing for public health studies is appealing to understand routines. We present an approach to learn nightlife routines in a smartphone sensing dataset volunteered by 184 young people (1586 weekend nights with location data captured ...
Ever since the links between the development of new technologies and economic growth became evident, researchers have attempted to study how the creation of knowledge fosters progress. If pushing the frontier of knowledge has an impact on progress and well ...
Tonality has been the cornerstone of Western music-theoretical discourse for centuries. This study addresses the subject, using traditional music analysis, data-driven corpus methods, and computational models, concentrating on historical changes of tonalit ...
Methods of estimating the similarity between individual publications is an area of long-standing interest in the scientometrics community. Traditional methods have generally relied on references and other metadata, while text mining approaches based on tit ...
