DIVThe definitive guide to the composers, artists, bands, musical instruments, dances, and institutions of Cuban music./div
This collection addresses the ways in which the language of social science fuses with that of the literary imagination. The essays fit excellently with the current interest in interdisciplinary studies.
In The Sound of Exclusion, Christopher Chávez critically examines National Public Radio's professional norms and practices that situate white listeners at the center while relegating Latinx listeners to the periphery. By interrogating industry practices, we might begin to reimagine NPR as a public good that serves the broad and diverse spectrum of the American public.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 9th International Conference on Applications of Natural Language to Information Systems, NLDB 2004, held in Salford, UK in June 2004. The 29 revised full papers and 13 revised short papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 65 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on natural language, conversational systems, intelligent querying, linguistic aspects of modeling, information retrieval, natural language text understanding, knowledge bases, knowledge management and content management.
This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-proceedings of the Third International School and Symposium on Advanced Distributed Systems, ISSADS 2004, held in Guadalajara, Mexico in January 2004. The 25 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 46 submissions. Among the topics addressed are virtual characters, distributed toolkits, serial visual presentation, multi-agent architectures, MAS, agent-object hybrid languages, robot soccer agents, distributed querying, semantic search engines, coordination, distributed collaboration, virtual communities, peer-to-peer networks, P2P systems, distributed search mobile objects, load balancing, distributed algorithms, scheduling, and distributed information systems.
Fifty years ago, A. Turing predicted that by 2000 we would have a machine that could pass the Turing test. Although this may not yet be true, AI has advanced signi?cantly in these 50 years, and at the dawn of the XXI century is still an activeandchallenging?eld.Thisyearisalsosigni?cantforAIinMexico,withthe merging of the two major AI conferences into the biennial Mexican International Conference on Arti?cial Intelligence (MICAI) series. MICAI is the union of the Mexican National AI Conference (RNIA) and the International AI Symposium (ISAI), organized annually by the Mexican Society forAI(SMIA,since1984)andbytheMonterreyInstituteofTechnology(ITESM, since1988),respectively.The?rstMexicanInter...
It has been widely recognized that artificial intelligence computations offer large potential for distributed and parallel processing. Unfortunately, not much is known about designing parallel AI algorithms and efficient, easy-to-use parallel computer architectures for AI applications. The field of parallel computation and computers for AI is in its infancy, but some significant ideas have appeared and initial practical experience has become available. The purpose of this book has been to collect in one volume contributions from several leading researchers and pioneers of AI that represent a sample of these ideas and experiences. This sample does not include all schools of thought nor contri...
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Third Mexican International Conference on Artificial Intelligence, MICAI 2004, held in Mexico City, Mexico in April 2004. The 94 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 254 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on applications, intelligent interfaces and speech processing, knowledge representation, logic and constraint programming, machine learning and data mining, multiagent systems and distributed AI, natural language processing, uncertainty reasoning, vision, evolutionary computation, modeling and intelligent control, neural networks, and robotics.
