Unlocking multiple histories of amateur media: from micro- to macro-histories

Bohmian Histories and Decoherent Histories

The predictions of the Bohmian and the decoherent (or consistent) histories formulations of the quantum mechanics of a closed system are compared for histories — sequences of alternatives at a series of times. For certain kinds of histories, Bohmian mechanics and decoherent histories may both be formulated in the same mathematical framework within which they can be compared. In that framework, ...

From Communication Histories to State Transition Machines

The black-box view of an interactive component concentrates on the input/output behaviour based on communication histories. The glass-box view discloses the component’s internal state with inputs effecting an update of the state. The black-box view is modelled by a stream processing function, the glass-box view by a state transition machine. We present a formal method for transforming a stream ...

Gaining Musical Insights: Visualizing Multiple Listening Histories

Listening histories are rich sources of implicit information. Combining listening histories of multiple users allows comparisons in musical taste and discovery of new music, though few existing work specifically addresses this issue. In this paper we present two interactive visualizations which give users a deeper insight into consent and dissent in their listening behaviors, and help them to c...

Brushing Histories to Compare Models

A common high level task for the user of complex modelling software is making comparisons between models. The differences between the current and previous models guide future modelling efforts and model acceptance. This paper explores an interactive graphical paradigm to support this task. The computer displays the state history—the series of states the system takes one—corresponds closely to a...
