This paper presents an approach to motivate students in the humanities to gain computer skills through practical activities. The basic idea is to ask students to create an acoustic description of a number of paintings, using a web portal to upload the media content and an app to test, enjoy, and share the results of their work. The task was appealing to students that, in order to achieve good results in the sonification, they had to practice sound and image processing, learning and making the direct experience relevant concepts about resolution, sampling rate, and compression.

The paper explores the legal challenges and implications of processing personal data within public-private partnerships (PPPs) in smart city projects. Smart cities use a web of technologies to collect and analyse data from various sources, aiming to improve their efficiency and achieve multiple goals. However, this also raises concerns about privacy and adequate protection of data subjects' rights. The paper focuses on the legal basis for data processing regulated by the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and how it differs between the public and private sectors involved in PPPs. The paper argues that the disparity in goals and legal grounds for data processing may create conflicts and uncertainties for joint data controllers, as well as data subjects. It intends to explore potential grey areas in the lawful grounds for collecting data and its implications for citizens' right to data protection in this context.

As engineering is very much based on modeling, this is also important for education in this field, and teachers sometimes have to check a very large number of models and determine if they are valid or not. In software engineering, for modeling in conformity with the standard Unified Modeling Language, attempts have been made to automatically classify diagrams and determine whether they conform to this language. This paper shows an approach based onmachine learning and possible improvements made using a feature-based dataset, with the objective of more accurately categorizing designated labels. Employing a specialized neural network tailored for feature-based learning, the study endeavors to enhance classification accuracy and efficiency. Comparative analysis against a pre-existing model trained on a diagram images dataset reveals better results in predictive outcomes.

Serendipity is another name for method. When order appears unexpectedly in music, the explanation is so often mathematical. Here, a nice feature of a hand-made picture revolves about the Sylow subgroups of the affine group modulo 12 (and of its maximal normal subgroup T / I), explaining the surprise occurrence of octatonic scales when trying to organize all-interval tetrachords by common dyads.

In product design, the consideration of consumers' emotional needs has gained increasing importance. While traditional methods of emotional ergonomics have been widely applied in various areas of product design, they tend to focus more on consumers' intuition rather than their behavior. Consequently, design decisions may not accurately reflect the genuine voice of consumers. This study aims to assist designers in restructuring and upgrading designs by taking into account consumers' psychological and behavioral requirements. To obtain valuable insights into consumers' emotional needs, a comprehensive design approach is proposed. This method comprises three layers: the design element layer, the perceived image vocabulary layer, and the relationship layer between design elements and perceived image vocabulary. In the first layer, design elements are identified. In the second layer, perceived image vocabulary for product design is established. In the third layer, the relationship between design elements and perceived image vocabulary is analyzed using a quantitative theory based on the least squares method. The design features of the target product are discovered based on consumers' emotional needs. Finally, the practicality and effectiveness of this design model are validated through a case study using CNC machine tools. The results of the case study demonstrate the promising application prospects of this method in consumer-emotion-based product designs.

Considering the rapid development of artificial intelligence and the transformation of learning behavior, the researchers have designed a translation education information system to provide a platform for translation educators and learners in the experiment. All translation phenomena or nodes are annotated by knowledge nodes in 6 categories, which form a knowledge network in the system. There are 56 translation node types, 165 translation terms, 235 translation texts and 2,519 pieces of annotated knowledge nodes. The research invites 26 junior undergraduates majoring in translation and interpretation in Anhui Province (China) to learn translation knowledge with the guidance of professors. The paper reveals that the system has a positive influence on the translation education process according to students' translation scores and questionnaire results, and this conclusion is based on systematic research and concrete data, instead of impressionistic summary as used to be provided by old fashion translation teaching. Therefore, this also proves that knowledge-network driven translation teaching assisted by information technology should be widely adopted. Based on the analysis of statistical tools, the study finds that the system should be updated another 5 important translation node types.

Traditional story creation tools currently lack effectiveness in fostering creative thought and expanding beyond-textual-narration, offering limited user experiences, functionality, interactivity, and system compatibility, thus failing to meet diverse needs in creative expression, education, and entertainment. IMARISS, presented by us, is an interdisciplinary approach combining technology, design, art, and user experience design, focusing on user interface, backend logic, and data processing for enhanced user experience. This paper shows innovative narrative theories and creative writing applications in construction of stories, augmented reality's role in enhancing story element ideation, participatory design's significance, and the integration of gamified system design, while also discussing methodologies in creative writing, pedagogy, and user research for understanding and assessing user needs in story creation. A second experiment formally evaluated utilizing IMARISS against not utilizing it to measure system's support in areas such as immersion, creativity enhancement, and user satisfaction. The result shows its story creation benefits. This study discussed derive preliminary conclusions about the IMARISS's effectiveness and insights gained for future Narrative Interactive System Construction Model.

This study advances the integration of domain-specific large language models (LLMs) for low-resource languages with applications for question-answering (QA). Leveraging on recent LLMs trained to extract events of political violence and conflict, we introduce ConfliBERT-Arabic and ConfliBERT-Spanish, fine-tuned for extractive QA. Contributions include tailored QA fine-tuning techniques for Arabic and Spanish, curation of five datasets, and a comprehensive performance analysis. These new models provide language and domain-specific enhancements over extant models trained on general corpora. Substantively, these tools allow implementation of high-quality QA about conflict and violence in multiple world regions in their native languages.

Digital Libraries, especially large ones, need advanced tools for analyzing and interpreting their content. This paper introduces a novel Web-based tool designed to support library users in browsing and examining the content of digital libraries, and in extracting and interpreting high-level information from them. Leveraging external data and metadata repositories, our software uses state-of-the-art solutions in Natural Language Processing and Visualization to analyze and identify thematic trends and clusters over time. We describe the tool's architecture and functionality, showing its effectiveness in tracking the evolution of topics along time within a textual corpus. We further illustrate it through a case study that analyzes two decades of scholarly articles from an established conference on Digital Libraries, showcasing the tool's potential to help in understanding past and current academic research, and to guide future trajectories in this field.

We mathematize the notion of a "Piston word" (i.e. a diatonic chord sequence that uniquely determines key) and seek a formal language method of constructing all triadic Piston words. Since these triadic words are (simplified) superstrings of atomic triadic words, it suffices to just construct the language L of the atomic triadic words. To this end, we construct a minimal DFA (deterministic finite automaton) for this language L. Interestingly, the states of this DFA, which are the Myhill-Nerode classes of L, correspond to classical harmonic building blocks: silence, the tonic, the subdominant, the dominant, the diminished triad, the perfect cadence, the plagal cadence, the deceptive cadence, and a fourth type of cadence that we call the "deceptive plagal cadence".
