Paper Architecture: Monuments of Utopia

Architecture Classification for Indian Monuments

In this project, the task of architecture classification for monuments and buildings from the Indian subcontinent was explored. Five major classes of architecture were taken and various supervised learning methods, both probabilistic and nonprobabilistic, were experimented with in order to classify the monuments into one of the five categories. The categories were: ’Ancient’, ’British’, ’IndoIs...

Ambient Utopia

This chapter presents an analysis of the ambitions that lie behind the concept of Ambient Intelligence as it is presented by the advocates and researchers working in the field. In particular it looks at the ideas regarding the forms of natural and intuitive forms of interaction that are envisaged including agents and robots from a philosophical perspective. The views on interaction are analysed...

FPGA Architecture White Paper

Introduction Altera continues to lead the FPGA industry in architectural innovation. The logic fabric and routing architecture in Altera® FPGAs are unmatched, providing customers with a number of advantages. Altera was the first to introduce the 8-input fracturable look-up table (LUT) with the Stratix® II family in 2004. At its core is the adaptive logic module (ALM) with 8 inputs, which can im...

Engineering Utopia

The likely advent of AGI and the long-established trend of improving computational hardware promise a dual revolution in coming decades: machines which are both more intelligent and more numerous than human beings. This possibility raises substantial concern over the moral nature of such intelligent machines, and of the changes they will cause in society. Will we have the chance to determine th...
