Aquest segon volum publicat en homenatge a Carles Miralles conté la col·laboració de reputats professors, escriptors i crítics. Tots ells, col·legues i amics de l’homenatjat, s’han volgut presentar amb una visió que es fonamenta en el principi de reconèixer-se en la literatura, com a punt de partença i horitzó. Hi podem llegir aportacions sobre qüestions diverses, que van de T. S. Eliot a Rodoreda, de Llull a Carner, o, fins i tot, d’un recull d’aforismes a una anàlisi de crítica estrictament filològica aplicada a la literatura catalana.
In Japan there are robots that guide customers through marketplaces advising them where to find the product matching their needs, and realistic replicas of university professors allow them to teach their lectures a hundred kilometers away from the classroom. Not to speak about intelligent prostheses and remote high-precision surgery.
This book investigates the idea of comic seriousness in Old Comedy. The issue has been a vexing one in classical studies, and the most traditional stance has been that Aristophanes' comedies reflect his personal ideology, reducing the plays to little more than political speeches. Riu concludes, in contrast, that we should abandon our preconceptions about comic seriousness and approach the language of Aristophanes with care and precision, alert to the nuances of meaning that the comic genre entails. Attempting to set Old Comedy in its proper context, Riu explores the myth and ritual of Dionysus in the city-state (including a reading of Euripides'Bacchae and other sources) and relates the patterns found in those myths to the works of Aristophanes. The book concludes with a section on the relationship between comedy and reality, the import of insults in comedy, comedy as ritual, the relationship between author and character, and the seriousness of comedy. With an appendix that examines the exceptional case ofClouds, Dionysism and Comedy is an important resource for students and scholars of classical comedy and the comedic genre
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 9th International Work-Conference on Artificial Neural Networks, IWANN 2007, held in San Sebastián, Spain in June 2007. Coverage includes theoretical concepts and neurocomputational formulations, evolutionary and genetic algorithms, data analysis, signal processing, robotics and planning motor control, as well as neural networks and other machine learning methods in cancer research.
This master thesis has studied the characteristics of deep conventional neurons present in a Deep CNN. Three approaches towards finding different behaviours in the architecture have been introduced: a first supervised to find patterns in the neuron weights, a neuron based clustering and TDA.
La noció del tràgic s’ha anat articulant al llarg de la història en un procés continuat que, des de les tragèdies representades a Atenes al segle V a. C. fins a l’actualitat, ha recorregut camins molt variats. Aplicant una metodologia filològica a l’anàlisi tant dels textos antics com dels posteriors, les contribucions reunides a Tragèdia i articulacions del tràgic estudien aquesta evolució en els àmbits de la creació literària i cinematogràfica, la traducció, la interpretació dels mites i la filosofia, entre d’altres. Aquesta obra col·lectiva aporta noves aproximacions als grans problemes plantejats per la tragèdia, com ara el conflicte entre la llibertat de l’individu i la necessitat del destí, qüestions que no han deixat mai de tenir vigència i que encara avui ens interroguen.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a scientific field of longstanding tradition, with origins in the early years of computer science. Today AI has reached a level of maturity that allows us to build highly sophisticated systems which perform very different tasks. Nevertheless, its evolution has opened up a number of new problems, ranging from specific algorithms to system integration, which remain elusive and assure a long life for this research field. Research progress in this area is today an international challenge that must be supported by world-class meetings and organizations, but in spite of this fact, there is also an objective need for meetings and organizations that support and disseminate research at other levels. This book focuses on new and original research on Artificial Intelligence.
In this book, David Konstan argues that the modern concept of interpersonal forgiveness, in the full sense of the term, did not exist in ancient Greece and Rome. Even more startlingly, it is not fully present in the Hebrew Bible, nor in the New Testament or in the early Jewish and Christian commentaries on the Holy Scriptures. It would still be centuries - many centuries - before the idea of interpersonal forgiveness, with its accompanying ideas of apology, remorse, and a change of heart on the part of the wrongdoer, would emerge. For all its vast importance today in religion, law, politics and psychotherapy, interpersonal forgiveness is a creation of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, when the Christian concept of divine forgiveness was fully secularized. Forgiveness was God's province and it took a revolution in thought to bring it to earth and make it a human trait.
