Visualising Commodity, Consuming Visual Commodities: the Shakespearean Stage

Modelling Extreme Risks in Commodities and Commodity Currencies

This paper analyzes extreme co-movements between the Australian and Canadian commodity currencies, and the gold and oil markets respectively, within a multivariate extension of the Hawkes-POT model. The intensity of extreme events in the Australian dollar are influenced by extreme events in gold, while the size of extreme events in the Canadian dollar are driven by extreme events in crude oil. ...

Shakespearean spatial rules

Many games and simulations utilize modularized low-level code to move characters about in an environment. This requires extensive technical skill to translate basic high-level actions, as well as extensive time to write code, which includes very detailed instructions on what and when actions will occur across all agents. Other options exist such as mocap files; however, most are not highly dyna...

Is the future biology Shakespearean or Newtonian?

"Cells do not care about mathematics" thus concluded a biologist friend after a discussion on the future of biology. And indeed, why should they care? But if we exchange the word "cell" with "rock", "Moon" or "electrons", do we have to change the sentence also? Starting from this line of thought, we review some recent developments in understanding the stochastic behavior of biological systems. ...

iCub Visual Memory Inspector: Visualising the iCub's Thoughts

This paper describes the integration of multiple sensory recognition models created by a Synthetic Autobiographical Memory into a structured system. This structured system provides high level control of the overall architecture and interfaces with an iCub simulator based in Unity which provides a virtual space for the display of recollected events.
