Impact of Class Assignment on Multinomial Classification Using Multi-Valued Neurons by Julian Knaup
English | PDF | 2022 | 89 Pages | ISBN : 3658389540 | 2.7 MB
Multilayer neural networks based on multi-valued neurons (MLMVNs) have been proposed to combine the advantages of complex-valued neural networks with a plain derivative-free learning algorithm. In addition, multi-valued neurons (MVNs) offer a multi-valued threshold logic resulting in the ability to replace multiple conventional output neurons in classification tasks. Therefore, several classes can be assigned to one output neuron.

Immaterial Culture: Literature, Drama and the American Radio Play, 1929-1954 (Cultural Interactions: Studies in the Relationship between the Arts) By Harry Heuser
2013 | 368 Pages | ISBN: 3034309775 | PDF | 3 MB
Immaterial Culture engages with texts that are now largely unread and dismissed as trivial or dubious: the vast body of plays - thrillers, narrative poetry, comedy sketches, documentaries and adaptations of literature and drama - that aired on American network radio during the medium's so-called golden age. For a quarter century, from the stock market crash of 1929 to the introduction of the TV dinner in 1954, radio plays enjoyed an exposure unrivalled by stage, film, television and print media. As well as entertaining audiences numbering in the tens of millions for a single broadcast, these scripted performances - many of which were penned by noted novelists, poets and dramatists - played important and often conflicting roles in advertising, government propaganda and education. Reading these fugitive and often self-conscious texts in the context in which they were created and presented, the author considers what their neglect might tell us about ourselves, our visual bias and our attitudes toward commercial art and propaganda. The study's ample scope, its interdisciplinary approach and its insistence on the primacy of the texts under discussion serve to regenerate the discourse about cultural products that challenge the way we classify art and marginalise the unclassifiable.

Imagining Nabokov: Russia Between Art and Politics by Nina L. Khrushcheva
English | January 9, 2008 | ISBN: 0300108869, 0300207328 | True EPUB | 256 pages | 2.1 MB
Vladimir Nabokov's "Western choice"-his exile to the West after the 1917 Bolshevik Revolution-allowed him to take a crucial literary journey, leaving the closed nineteenth-century Russian culture behind and arriving in the extreme openness of twentieth-century America. In Imagining Nabokov: Russia Between Art and Politics, Nina L. Khrushcheva offers the novel hypothesis that because of this journey, the works of Russian-turned-American Vladimir Nabokov (1899-1977) are highly relevant to the political transformation under way in Russia today. Khrushcheva, a Russian living in America, finds in Nabokov's novels a useful guide for Russia's integration into the globalized world. Now one of Nabokov's "Western" characters herself, she discusses the cultural and social realities of contemporary Russia that he foresaw a half-century earlier.

Imagined Topographies: From Colonial Resource to Postcolonial Homeland (Postcolonial Studies) By Jonathan Bishop Highfield
2012 | 181 Pages | ISBN: 1433119870 | PDF | 6 MB
One important legacy of colonialism is the separation of a culture from the land upon which its people live. Populations are displaced; topographical objects are renamed, and the land becomes a resource to be exploited. Starting with three landscapes viewed as threatening by the Europeans who colonized them, Imagined Topographies examines the ways artists, writers, and musicians distill new meaning in formerly colonized spaces through the articulation of landscapes that are homelands, not commodities. In the Irish bog Seamus Heaney explores legacies of violence, John Dunne looks at rural poverty and religious faith, and Catherine Harper creates art connecting landscape and gender. Influenced by the Amazon, Wilson Harris creates dense multi-layered Guyanese epics, Karen Tei Yamashita plays with the telenovela to explore the role of multinational corporations in deforestation, and in recordings Douglas Quin combines the natural world with the technological, raising questions of connected cultural and natural loss. The two landscapes of Australia, the empty land of the colonizers and the fertile land known by the original inhabitants, are explored in the novels of David Malouf, while Peter Carey turns to the animal world to define the Australian national character, and the people of Ramingining, in films and a website created in collaboration with the filmmaker Rolf de Heer, intervene in the Australian land rights struggle. Challenging the dominant perceptions of land in these regions, artists, musicians, and writers create new visions of landscapes tied to cultures where social and ecological justice offer choices other than emigration and habitat destruction.

Stephen Hawking is widely believed to be one of the world's greatest minds, a brilliant theoretical physicist whose work helped reconfigure models of the universe and define what's in it. Imagine sitting in a room listening to Hawking discuss these achievements and place them in historical context; it would be like hearing Christopher Columbus on the New World.

Phillip Michael Alexander, "Identity and Collaboration in World of Warcraft"
English | 2018 | ISBN: 160235605X, 1602356114 | 144 pages | EPUB | 6.6 MB
Electracy and Transmedia Studies Series Editors: Jan Rune Holmevik and Cynthia Haynes. IDENTITY AND COLLABORATION IN WORLD OF WARCRAFT tells the story of what happens when a Cherokee gamer, using a storyteller's perspective and a methodology built from equal parts Indigenous tradition and current academic field knowledge, spends a year in what was at-the-time the largest online video game in the world. Following from work by James Paul Gee and Bonnie Nardi, Phillip Michael Alexander ventured forth into the game world to see what someone who was a gamer long before he was an academic might see in this same fascinating virtual space. In working with, playing with, and sharing the stories of a ten-person "raid" group-players performing at the highest level within the game-he set out to determine how those gamers most invested in success built identities and communities. The resulting work is a reader-friendly, theory informed, virtual-boots-on-the-virtual-ground look at how gamers craft in-game identities, find like-minded gamers to form group identities, then organize to do staggering amounts of work in a virtual world. For anyone who ever wondered what the appeal of World of Warcraft is, Phillip Michael Alexander illustrates how some of the most active, most engaged, and most talented players spend their time in that virtual world. ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Phillip Michael Alexander is Assistant Professor of Games in the Armstrong Institute of Interactive Media Studies at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio. A native of the Midwest and a mixed-blood Cherokee, Alexander's work has appeared in Kairos, Computers & Composition, and in various edited collections including Play/Write: Digital Rhetoric, Writing and Games and World of Warcraft and Philosophy. Alexander is the co-director of the Miami University Varsity Esports Program, the first Division One Varsity Esports Program in the world. Alexander is also partnered with Twitch.TV to offer courses on video game streaming and the history and culture of Esports.
