Despite computer music being commonly identified as having North American or European origins, Latin American composers and performers have had a great interest in it since its inception, with a long and prolific history comparable to these other traditions. Research and music from this region have had limited visibility, however, resulting in a significant gap in academic knowledge, partially due to the language barrier and the lack of technological means and international exposure for many artists. Nevertheless, in recent times Latin America has experienced an interesting increase in activity in the field, as some of the most important international academic conferences have taken place in the region, such as the International conference on New Interfaces for Musical Expression (NIME) in Brazil in 2019, and both the International computer Music conference (ICMC) and the International conference on Live Coding (ICLC) in Chile in 2021. These conferences have showcased a significant amount of artistic work and research that is being accomplished in the region. This special issue ofcomputer Music Journalaims to bridge some of this still-existing gap by publishing new technical and historical research on computer music practice in Latin *** special issue comprises eight articles written by artists and researchers with ties to Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Mexico, and Uruguay, offering some fresh perspectives on the computer music that Latin America is currently producing and addressing some of the most important challenges that it faces *** begin with the article of Ricardo Dal Farra, who is an important Argentinian composer and researcher of the history of electroacoustic and computer music in Latin America. He argues that the progression of this genre in the region has been astounding despite political and economic instability that has affected the lives of inhabitants for decades. One example of this development is the Latin American Electroacoustic Music

Offline Imitation Learning (IL) with imperfect demonstrations has garnered increasing attention owing to the scarcity of expert data in many real-world domains. A fundamental problem in this scenario is how to extract positive behaviors from noisy data. In general, current approaches to the problem select data building on state-action similarity to given expert demonstrations, neglecting precious information in (potentially abundant) diverse state-actions that deviate from expert ones. In this paper, we introduce a simple yet effective data selection method that identifies positive behaviors based on their resultant states - a more informative criterion enabling explicit utilization of dynamics information and effective extraction of both expert and beneficial diverse behaviors. Further, we devise a lightweight behavior cloning algorithm capable of leveraging the expert and selected data correctly. In the experiments, we evaluate our method on a suite of complex and high-dimensional offline IL benchmarks, including continuous-control and vision-based tasks. The results demonstrate that our method achieves state-of-the-art performance, outperforming existing methods on 20/21 benchmarks, typically by 2-5x, while maintaining a comparable runtime to Behavior Cloning (BC).

In this paper, we characterize symmetric locality. In designing algorithms, compilers, and systems, data movement is a common bottleneck in high-performance computation, in which we improve cache and memory performance. We study a special type of data reuse in the form of repeated traversals, or re-traversals, which are based on the symmetric group. The cyclic and sawtooth traces are previously known results in symmetric locality, and in this work, we would like to generalize this result for any re-traversal. Then, we also provide an abstract framework for applications in compiler design and machine learning models to improve the memory performance of certain programs.

Brain-computer interfaces (BCI) have been extensively researched to assist people with motor paralysis in controlling external devices such as a robotic limb. However, most BCI systems required participants to focus on a single task, limiting their ability to generate other mental or physical activities. Therefore, people's performance of the BCI-based robotic control in multitasking was discussed, as eight healthy subjects performed motor-related tasks of motor imagery and two-handed balancing ball movement, while simultaneously performing visuospatial attention to asynchronously trigger "drinking" actions of a humanoid robot arm with accuracies of 90% and 87.5%, respectively. The online results indicate that the BCI-based robot control system developed for multi-task conditions has a high potential for human augmentation.

With the growing demand for computing power, new multicore architectures have emerged to provide better performance. Reducing their energy consumption is one of the main challenges in achieving highperformance computing. Current research trends develop new software and hardware techniques to achieve the best performance and energy compromise. In this work, we investigate the effect of processor frequency scaling using Dynamic Voltage Frequency Scaling on performance and energy consumption for the WZ factorization. This factorization is implemented both without optimization techniques and with strip mining. This technique involves transforming the program loop to improve programperformance. Based on time and energy tests, we have shown that for the WZ factorization algorithm, regardless of the presence of manual optimization, it pays to reduce the frequency to save energy without losing performance. The conclusion can be extended to analogous algorithms — also having a high ratio of memory access to computational operations.
