In this paper we give a comprehensive account of the ongoing design and the highly interdisciplinary implementation and application work related to a voxel automata system for digital form finding. The objective of this project is to facilitate investigations primarily into various strategies of spatially self-organisational cellular form finding principles in generative design and architecture...

We propose a new active learning by query synthesis approach using Generative Adversarial Networks (GAN). Different from regular active learning, the resulting algorithm adaptively synthesizes training instances for querying to increase learning speed. We generate queries according to the uncertainty principle, but our idea can work with other active learning principles. We report results from ...

It is essential to identify and determine the properties of native plants as natural genetic resources. The present study was performed to identify the Mindium (Michauxi) laevigata species using molecular and biochemical procedures such as genomic DNA extraction, sequencing, and antioxidant capacity and protein content determination at both vegetative and generative phases in various parts of t...

In line with recent work exploring Deep Boltzmann Machines (DBMs) as models of cortical processing, we demonstrate the potential of DBMs as models of object-based attention, combining generative principles with attentional ones. We show: (1) How inference in DBMs can be related qualitatively to theories of attentional recurrent processing in the visual cortex; (2) that deepness and topographic ...

The capacity to generate a limitless range of meaningful expressions from a finite set of elements differentiates human language from other animal communication systems. Rule systems capable of generating an infinite set of outputs ("grammars") vary in generative power. The weakest possess only local organizational principles, with regularities limited to neighboring units. We used a familiariz...

The collective intelligence and collective action of “open” communities have produced a variety of complex knowledge goods and radical social change. The Information Systems (IS) community has invested significant effort into researching open communities and the ecosystems in which they operate, seeking to better understand these emerging forms of organization, production, innovation, knowledge...

with the emergence of the theory of control in linguistics and the introduction of pro as one of the empty categories in government and binding, one can find the investigation of the interpretive properties of pro in the generative agenda. within these studies, especially within the minimalist tradition, some new properties were added to the list while others lost their values. as such, a new p...

In this thesis, we present a novel framework based on hybrid trees that aims to bridge natural language sentences and their underlying meaning representations. The framework is guided by theoretical principles related to language and semantics. The purpose of the framework is to facilitate the development of systems that transform natural language sentences into their underlying meaning represe...

in order to study the effect of compost and salinity stress on seedling growth and generative traits of wheat (sivand cultivar) a pot experiment was conducted based on complete randomized design arranged in factorial with six replications at the research greenhouse, faculty of agriculture, mashhad branch, islamic azad university, mashhad, iran, during in cropping season 2013-2014. factors were ...
