This article proposes the investigation of two case studies 20th century residential architecture that can be considered paradigmatic due to pioneering use parametric thinking in architecture. It deals with Alexander Klein’s plan analysis model and Cedric Price’s research on housing through his concept 24-hour economic living toy. Both cases are analyzed using contemporary tools digitally repro...

Nowadays, cultural and historical built heritage can be more effectively preserved, valorised documented using advanced geospatial technologies. In such a context, there is major issue concerning the automation of process extraction useful information from huge amount spatial acquired by means survey techniques (i.e., highly detailed LiDAR point clouds). particular, in case (HBH) are very few e...

Abstract Due to space availability limitations and high land costs, there is an increasing development of multi-floor manufacturing (MFM) systems in urban industrial areas. The problem coordination a process, the Ramadge Wonham framework, introduced. chain each floor elevator system are modeled form finite deterministic automata. models process parametric with respect number floors machines on ...

This paper presents a novel, non-parametric approximate dynamic programming (ADP) algorithm that enjoys dimension-independent approximation and sample complexity guarantees. We obtain this by “kernelizing” recent mathematical program for ADP (the “smoothed linear program”). Loosely, our guarantees show we can exchange the importance of choosing good architecture priori (as required existing app...

With the widespread use of Artificial Intelligence (AI), understanding behavior intelligent agents and robots is crucial to guarantee successful human-agent collaboration since it not straightforward for humans understand an agent's state mind. Recent empirical studies have confirmed that explaining a system's human users fosters latter's acceptance system. However, providing overwhelming or un...

Abstract We present a language model that combines large parametric neural network (i.e., transformer) with non-parametric episodic memory component in an integrated architecture. Our uses extended short-term context by caching local hidden states—similar to transformer-XL—and global long-term retrieving set of nearest neighbor tokens at each timestep. design gating function adaptively combine ...

Virtual prototyping is a relatively new field which is significantly changing the product development process. In many applications, virtual prototyping relies on virtual reality tools for analysis of designs. This paper presents an architecture for a virtual prototyping system which was created for the analysis of automotive interiors. This flexible and open architecture allows the integration...
