Learning music theory not only has practical benefits for musicians to write, perform, understand, and express music better, but also for both non-musicians to improve critical thinking, math analytical skills, and music appreciation. However, current external tools applicable for learning music theorythrough writing when human instruction is unavailable are either limited in feedback, lacking a written modality, or assuming already strong familiarity of music theory concepts. In this paper, we describe Maestoso, an educational tool for novice learners to learn music theorythrough sketching practice of quizzed music structures. Maestoso first automatically recognizes students' sketched input of quizzed concepts, then relies on existing sketch and gesture recognition techniques to automatically recognize the input, and finally generates instructor-emulated feedback. From our evaluations, we demonstrate that Maestoso performs reasonably well on recognizing music structure elements and that novice students can comfortably grasp introductory music theory in a single session.

Matching one set of objects to another is a ubiquitous task in machine learning and computer vision that often reduces to some form of the quadratic assignment problem (QAP). the QAP is known to be notoriously hard, both in theory and in practice. Here, we investigate if this difficulty can be mitigated when some additional piece of information is available: (a) that all QAP instances of interest come from the same application, and (b) the correct solution for a set of such QAP instances is given. We propose a new approach to accelerate the solution of QAPs based on learning parameters for a modified objective function from prior QAP instances. A key feature of our approach is that it takes advantage of the algebraic structure of permutations, in conjunction with special methods for optimizing functions over the symmetric group Script Sn in Fourier space. Experiments show that in practical domains the new method can outperform existing approaches. Copyright 2012 by the author(s)/owner(s).
We introduce restarting automata as two-way automata in order to obtain a more general model which is closer to our linguistic motivations. We study the notion of j-monotonicity to show the advantages of this model. W...

An important role of a workflow system is to schedule and reschedule the workflow process and to allow the user to monitor and guide the overall progress of the workflow and its activities. this paper presents extensions of a rescheduling algorithm based on minimal graph cut. the initial approach allowed to find an optimal rescheduling, which changed the initial schedule by shortening and moving of activities. the new schedule had the lowest overall price, counted as the sum of prices of shortening activities. the extension presented in this paper allows several extensions, while keeping the optimality: handling several delayed activities, handling the price of moving an activity and handling the price of deadline violation. the rescheduling algorithm is used within an ontology-based workflow management system for the process of military exercise preparation in Centre of simulation technologies National Academy of Defence.
