Ricotti L. Static and dynamic balance in young athletes. J. Hum. Sport Exerc. Vol. 6, No. 4, pp. 616628, 2011. The creation of a mature athlete necessarily passes through the expression of his potential during each phase of his development. Young athletes’ trainers often neglect specific balance programs, above all in certain sports (e.g. soccer) where balance is poorly considered, but that is ...

This session on corpora and evaluation was composed of two distinct parts. Before the break, four papers dealing with a range of important aspects of evaluation of written language systems and spoken language systems were presented. A printed version of each of these papers is included in the conference proceedings. After the break, a series of informal reports (not included as proceedings pape...

The diagnosis of performance and memory problems can require the analysis of large and complex data sets describing a program’s execution. An analysis tool must help the user both find the right organization of the data to uncover useful information, and work with the data through a lengthy and unpredicatable discovery process. In this paper we present Jinsight EX, a tool for analyzing Java per...

The paper addresses the question whether it is possible for a machine to learn to distinguish and recognise famous musicians (concert pianists), based on their style of playing. We extract a number of low-level features related to expressive timing and dynamics from the original audio CD recordings by famous pianists, and apply various machine learning algorithms to the task of learning classif...

One of the main factors affecting the effectiveness of ECOC methods for classification is the dependence among the errors of the computed codeword bits. We present an extensive experimental work for evaluating the dependence among output errors of the decomposition unit of ECOC learning machines. In particular, we compare the dependence between ECOC Multi Layer Perceptrons (ECOC monolithic), ma...

In this article, we present the first step of our research work to design a Virtual Assistant for Performers and Stage Directors, able to give a feedback from performances. We use a methodology to automatically construct fuzzy rules in a Fuzzy Rule-Based System that detects contextual emotions from an actor's performance during a show. We collect video data from a lot of performances of the sam...

We propose a system, called BRASS (BRowsing and Administration of Sound Sources), which provides an interactive digital score environment for assisting the users browse and explore the global structure of music in a flexible manner. When making cooperative performances, it is important to learn the global structure to deepen understanding of the piece. The score visualization of our system can ...

This paper presents the performance evaluation of an authorship verification technique that is based on a modified version of General Impostors (GI) [2]. The novelties of this implementation are: 1. a modified way of combining the min-max similarity measure and, 2. a relatively large set of diverse features that spans letter-level, word-level, function word-level, word shape-level, and word tag...

More and more companies address collaborations and cooperation as strategic topics in order to build competitive networks and broaden the global competences provided by the community thus created. These companies can cooperate with partners to share resources, competences, risks or costs. Besides, penetrating new markets can be easier when associating new partners. The selection process of an a...

Conducting is a high-level form of expressive musical communication. The possibility of human-computer interaction through a conducting-based interface to a computer performance system has attracted many computer music researchers. This study explores conducting through interviews with conductors and musicians and also through accelerometers attached to conductors during rehearsals with a (huma...
