Metafísicas chamánicas
Metafísicas chamánicas. Una poética ancestral del espíritu, la conciencia y el sueño
Palabras que migran
En sus cincuenta años de existencia, la Escuela de Estudios Literarios de la Universidad del Valle ha logrado forjar una tradición de escritores de alto nivel y prestigio vinculados a sus aulas: novelistas, ensayistas, escritores y poetas con amplio reconocimiento nacional e internacional. La presente antología recoge una muestra variada del quehacer escritural en el ámbito de la poesía de sus docentes, egresados y estudiantes (tanto de Maestría como de Licenciatura), los cuales han sido reconocidos por sus escritos en distintos escenarios. Son las voces de varias generaciones que, a través de la expresión poética, nos comparten, en sus estilos particulares, las inquietudes que les ...
El jaguar en la Literatura Kogi
...los antiguos Tairona, antepasados de los actuales habitantes de la Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta (Kogi, Ijca, San-há), desarrollaron la maestría en la medida y el dominio de los tiempos mediante la observación rigurosa de los ciclos de los astros; los resultados de sus observaciones y su interpretación los consignaban en diversos medios como mapas hechos en la roca, bastones con muescas y a través de la transmisión oral. La comunión (el consumo) de enteógenos en los rituales chamánicos les posibilitaba la incorporación de los dioses y la proyección sobre el espacio y el tiempo; estos rituales les permitía desplazarse hacia otros niveles del mundo y de la realidad, conectarse con el principio y el fin del universo y extraer de allí la sabiduría que legaron a la humanidad a través de los mitos y las tradiciones que aún perduran en la ciencia tradicional de los Mámas.
Program Synthesis
Program synthesis is the task of automatically finding a program in the underlying programming language that satisfies the user intent expressed in the form of some specification. Since the inception of artificial intelligence in the 1950s, this problem has been considered the holy grail of Computer Science. Despite inherent challenges in the problem such as ambiguity of user intent and a typically enormous search space of programs, the field of program synthesis has developed many different techniques that enable program synthesis in different real-life application domains. It is now used successfully in software engineering, biological discovery, compute-raided education, end-user programm...
Yuruparí
Through Gerardo Reichel-Dolmatoff's translations and commentaries of the yuruparí fertility mythologem and ritual complex, Tukano oral art is revealed as an important expression of tribal philosophical and religious thought. The four Tukano "texts" in this volume contain coded cultural history and lead us into the meaning of oral traditions.
Voting Amid Violence
Timely lessons from Colombia on the coexistence of civil democracy and political violence in the context of international affairs and institutional reform
Convex Optimization
Convex optimization problems arise frequently in many different fields. This book provides a comprehensive introduction to the subject, and shows in detail how such problems can be solved numerically with great efficiency. The book begins with the basic elements of convex sets and functions, and then describes various classes of convex optimization problems. Duality and approximation techniques are then covered, as are statistical estimation techniques. Various geometrical problems are then presented, and there is detailed discussion of unconstrained and constrained minimization problems, and interior-point methods. The focus of the book is on recognizing convex optimization problems and then finding the most appropriate technique for solving them. It contains many worked examples and homework exercises and will appeal to students, researchers and practitioners in fields such as engineering, computer science, mathematics, statistics, finance and economics.
Graph-Based Semi-Supervised Learning
While labeled data is expensive to prepare, ever increasing amounts of unlabeled data is becoming widely available. In order to adapt to this phenomenon, several semi-supervised learning (SSL) algorithms, which learn from labeled as well as unlabeled data, have been developed. In a separate line of work, researchers have started to realize that graphs provide a natural way to represent data in a variety of domains. Graph-based SSL algorithms, which bring together these two lines of work, have been shown to outperform the state-of-the-art in many applications in speech processing, computer vision, natural language processing, and other areas of Artificial Intelligence. Recognizing this promis...

The book covers a number of topics, including A) Information and Knowledge Management; B) Organizational Models and Information Systems; C) Software and Systems Modeling; D) Software Systems, Architectures, Applications and Tools; E) Multimedia Systems and Applications; F) Computer Networks, Mobility and Pervasive Systems; G) Intelligent and Decision Support Systems; H) Big Data Analytics and Applications; I) Human–Computer Interaction; J) Ethics, Computers & Security; K) Health Informatics; L) Information Technologies in Education; M) Information Technologies in Radiocommunications; and N) Technologies for Biomedical Applications.
Mobilities and Inequality
This book opens up the debate on the interrelations between space and mobilities with regard to different dimensions of social inequality. Based on the premise that the dynamics caused by modernization, globalization, migration and social change affect the structuring of the social fabric, the focus of the book is to illuminate these processes of social and spatial re-structurings. A leading team of contributors from the Cosmobilities network highlight different aspects of inequality in relation to mobilities, such as gender, supplying transport infrastructure, job-related relocations, multi-locality, social network geography, and socio-spatial development.
