Global technologies, glocal approach: a false paradox

Global + local = glocal public health.

Glocal Approach Toward Architecture of the Future

Architecture of the Future is not a style When we try to contemplate the Architecture of the Future in somewhat concrete terms, it is clear that we are not trying to predict a particular architectural style of the future as such. Rather, we are led to the issue of a framework of thinking in terms of world view and methodology within which architectural design of the future will be created, or a...

Sentence generation for artificial brains: A glocal similarity-matching approach

A novel approach to sentence generation – SegSim, Sentence Generation by Similarity Matching – is outlined, and is argued to possess a number of desirable properties making it plausible as a model of sentence generation in the human brain, and useful as a guide for creating sentence generation components within artificial brains. The crux of the approach is to do as much as possible via similar...

Dataveillance and the False-Positive Paradox

In recent times, we are witnessing an increasing concern by governments and intelligence agencies to deploy mass-surveillance systems that help them fight terrorism. In this paper, we conduct a formal analysis of the overall cost of such surveillance systems. Our analysis starts with a fairly-known result in statistics, namely, the false-positive paradox. We propose a quantitative measure of th...

Differential network analysis and graph classification: a glocal approach

Based on the glocal HIM metric and its induced graph kernel, we propose a novel solution in differential network analysis that integrates network comparison and classification tasks. The HIM distance is defined as the one-parameter family of product metrics linearly combining the normalised Hamming distance H and the normalised Ipsen-Mikhailov spectral distance IM. The combination of the two co...
