MY-CO SPACE: An artistic-scientific vision on how to build with fungi

How to build an educational bridge.

Working in outreach programmes run by our physics departments, we have learnt that pupils in secondary schools know very little about materials science and nanotechnology. There are various educational resources on these subjects for students and teachers (www.materialsworldmodules.org; www.pls. scienzamateriali.unimib.it) but because the topics are not included in Italian national curricula, t...

Artistic ideation based on computer vision methods

This paper analyzes the automatic classification of scenes that are the basis of the ideation and the designing of the sculptural production of an artist. The main purpose is to evaluate the performance of the Bag-of-Features methods, in the challenging task of categorizing scenes when scenes differ in semantics rather than the objects they contain. We have employed a kernel-based recognition m...

How to Build an Interference Graph

SUMMARY The design and implementation of an interference graph is critical to the performance of a graph-coloring register allocator. The cost of constructing and manipulating the interference graph dominates the overall cost of allocation. The literature on graph-coloring register allocation suggests the use of a bit matrix coupled with lists of edges to represent the graph. 1-3 Recently, Geor...

How to Build Google2Google - An (Incomplete) Recipe

This talk explores aspects relevant for peer-to-peer search infrastructures, which we think are better suited to semantic web search than centralized approaches. It does so in the form of an (incomplete) cookbook recipe, listing necessary ingredients for putting together a distributed search infrastructure. The reader has to be aware, though, that many of these ingredients are research question...
