The structure, perception and generation of musical patterns
… timbre and dynamics into musical patterns. The generative process may be compared to playing a game, with goals, constraints, rules and strategies. In this study, games serve as a model for the interrelated mechanisms of music creation, and provide a format for an experimental technique that …

The role of artists in the public realm: an investigation into artists' generative processes in context.
A shift in practice towards a process-orientated and collaborative art practice within the strands of art practice in the public realm raises the question, what is the practical contribution artists make to society' which can only be answered by first understanding how artists work. Introducing the …

Score Distillation via DDIM Inversion
… as the velocity field of a 2D denoising generative process, up to the choice of a noise term. In particular, after a change of variables, SDS resembles a high-variance version of Denoising Diffusion Implicit Models (DDIM) with a differently-sampled noise term: SDS introduces noise i.i.d. …

Sibelius's Seventh Symphony: Genesis, Design, Structure, and Meaning
… that the Seventh, its composer, and its generative process, can best be understood as a series of verges: conceptual points of interaction between two or more forces. Verges between Sibelius's nature mysticism and the dramatic biographical circumstances of the period (1914-1924), between …

GENERATIVE AND RESPONSIVE DESIGN: THE EMERGENT
… the definition of “emergent” in the context of generative design, i.e., a way of generating where the result is the superposition of a series of unpredictable processes. This book focuses on three projects I have completed at MSAAD that provide insight into architectural design’s …

Customizing Web Applications Through Adaptable Components and Reconfigurable Distribution
… platforms. Instead, we adopt the paradigm of generative programming for customized application execution: before deployment, the actors defining a Web application undergo a generative process to obey the annotations given by the specification system. To host these generated actors, a …

Spiritscapes: for Chamber Ensemble and Live Electronics
… and laptop, with additional live electronics processing and transforming the acoustic sound. The work was initiated though a generative process of collaborative improvisation with the performers for whom the work is written, with the composer performing on piano, voice, and electronics. These …

Probabilistic Models on Fibre Bundles
… models on fibre bundles for learning the generative process of data. The main tool we use is the diffusion kernel and we use it in two ways. First, we build from the diffusion kernel on a fibre bundle a projected kernel that generates robust representations of the data, and we test that it …

Information-Theoretic Algorithms and Identifiability for Causal Graph Discovery
… over many variables (under assumptions on the generative process). We implement and experimentally evaluate Entropic Causal Inference on synthetic and real-world causal systems. Moreover, we improve the best-known approximation guarantee for the Minimum Entropy Coupling problem. This …

Mapping the world with social buzz
… information. With this model, we develop a generative process to describe how a document is composed. An estimation inference algorithm based on Gibbs sampling is provided to learn an optimal tree model from a set of observed documents. Evaluation results show that our system is effective.

Latent diffusion for generative visual attribution in medical image diagnostics
… linguistic component. We here present a novel generative visual attribution technique, one that leverages latent diffusion models in combination with domain-specific large language models, in order to generate normal counterparts of abnormal images. The discrepancy between the two hence gives …

Screenplays : writing, discourse, and process
… the finished film; that screenplay writing is a generative process; and that many screenplays go far beyond the limitations of the prevalent industrial model. The thesis sets the frequently disconnected historical, critical, theoretical, pedagogical, and practical discourses that address …

Teachers' processes of negotiating meaning of new curriculum
… experiences were examined as they negotiated the process of implementing new curriculum. Three theoretical constructs provided the entry point into the study: epistemology, teacher knowledge, and teacher learning. Using inductive analysis, 4 points or attributes of negotiation emerged: reference, …

A study on creativity: Detection and network structures

Artificial perceptions : biases, fictionalities, and signifiers

Felt_space infrastructure: Hyper vigilant spatiality to valence the visceral dimension
… and environmental stimuli, into a consistent generative process that penetrates the inner essence of space, to reveal the visceral parameter. These concepts are applied to develop a ‘coefficient of affordance’ typology, ‘hypervigilant’ tool set, and ‘cognitive_tope’ design methodology. Thus, …

FGF signaling in Xenopus laevis lens regeneration

Unsupervised learning of disentangled representations for speech with neural variational inference models
… autoencoder (FHVAE), which better models a generative process of sequential data, and learns not only disentangled, but also interpretable latent representations without any supervision. By leveraging the interpretability, we demonstrate that such representations can be applied to a wide …

On Physics-Inspired Generative Models
Physics-inspired generative models such as diffusion models constitute a powerful family of generative models. The advantages of models in this family come from relatively stable training process and high capacity. A number of possible improvements remain possible. In the thesis, we will first …
