Enhancing music-compositional flexibility
… role in undergraduate music programs.Music-compositional flexibility was measured by evaluating an instructor-designed set of "Exercises in Musical Ideation." Two qualities of compositional products, originality and "musicalness," were evaluated by ranking the compositions with respect to …

Acousmatic Storytelling: A compositional approach
… vehicle for transmitting stories, to develop a compositional methodology derived from the exploration of the synergy between storytelling techniques and acousmatic practice and to deliver works, which facilitate reinvention of the experience and memory for listeners. While particular attention …

COMPOSITIONAL EXPLORATIONS OF PLASTIC SOUND
Each piece of music in this research is meant to explore a different aspect of music as a plastic art. Conclusions reached in the review of each new work were used to guide the development of the next. The notions of plasticity in sound, and sound as a plastic material were used to give the overall …

Compositional strategies in electroacoustic music
… pieces of the portfolio and aims to discuss compositional strategies. The pieces were designed with the intention of exploring ways of creating relationships between musical materials of differing natures. Structuring methods are outlined using examples from two acousmatic and three mixed …

Image captioning using compositional sentiments
This thesis presents a method to generate emotional captions of images. An adequate caption should precisely describe the contents in an image. While humans can readily identify the most emotionally salient aspects of an image, many captioning models have difficulties in detecting and generating …

Model selection in compositional spaces
… and binary latent factor models. This compositional structure can be represented by a context-free grammar whose production rules correspond to these motifs. By exploiting the structure of this grammar, we can generically and eciently infer latent components and estimate predictive …

COMPOSITIONAL GENERALIZATION IN INSTRUCTION FOLLOWING TASKS
… use while giving and following instructions is compositionality: the capacity to understand and produce a potentially infinite number of novel combinations from familiar components. This ability is instrumental in being able to learn from limited data and is crucial for instruction following …

Compositional modifications in alloys under irradiation
… measurements of the surface and subsurface compositional changes in a Ag-40at%Au-20at%Cu alloy at temperatures between 30 and 600$\sp\circ$C, were compared with model calculations for the compositional changes in the alloy. From the comparison, useful information about the depth of origin of …

Compositional models for mutational signature analysis
… that I address, have a characteristic: they are compositional data, because we are interested in studying their relative contribution to the total mutation load. Because of this, they have to be analysed in a multivariate way and in relative terms. Approach: I introduce appropriate compositional …

Compositional simulation in perception and cognition
Despite rapid recent progress in machine perception and models of biological perception, fundamental questions remain open. In particular, the paradigm underlying these advances, pattern recognition, requires large amounts of training data and struggles to generalize to situations outside the …

Unsupervised Compositional Image Decompositionwith Diffusion Models
… understanding of the world is factorized and compositional. With just a single observation, we can ascertain both global and local attributes in a scene, such as lighting, weather, and underlying objects. These attributes are highly compositional and can be combined in various ways to create …

Compositional Robot Learning for Generalizable Interactions
… many deep-learning based methods fail at compositional generalization, i.e., an ability to generalize to novel combinations of concepts that have not been seen before in training. This thesis presents several learning-based approaches that leverage compositionally to enable generalization …

Enabling Compositional Generalization of AI Systems
… thesis aims to bridge this gap by incorporating compositionality into deep neural networks, thereby enhancing their ability to generalize and solve novel and complex tasks, such as generating 2D images and 3D assets based on complicated specifications, or enabling humanoid agents to perform a …

Estimating phytoplankton growth rates from compositional data
I build on the deterministic phytoplankton growth model of Sosik et al. by introducing process error, which simulates real variation in population growth and inaccuracies in the structure of the matrix model. Adding a stochastic component allows me to use maximum likelihood methods of parameter …

A compositional framework for determining pattern applicability.
The notion of ‘pattern’ originates in the work of Christopher Alexander and, in recent years, patterns have become a popular part of software development. A pattern is defined as a ‘three-part rule’: a relationship between a given context, a recurring system of forces peculiar to that context, and …

A Compositional Semantic Theory for Service Composition
… Timed Process Calculus. Core to this approach is compositionality – a Web service model must be semantically decomposable to allow component manipulation. An Abstract Timed Process Calculus allows elegant modelling of component systems through a variety of synchronisation patterns such as …

Compositional Control of Phase-Separated Cellular Bodies
Cellular bodies such as P bodies and PML nuclear bodies (PML NBs) appear to be phase separated liquids organized by multivalent interactions among proteins and RNA molecules. Although many components of various cellular bodies are known, general principles that define body composition are lacking. …

Semiometrics: producing a compositional view of influence
… a variety of levels of granularity, allowing a compositional framework for impact and influence analysis. This thesis describes the process of data preparation, systems architecture, metric value and data integration for such a system, introducing novel approaches at all four stages, thereby …

Idiomatic Compositional Techniques in John Rutter's Requiem
… significant harmonic structures and idiomatic compositional techniques and applies those techniques in an original composition. Subtopics of note included harmonic non-functionality, modulations, and orchestration. The original work is comprised of two movements for choir and piano respectively …
