Here are the key points about discounting:
- Discounting refers to exponentially decreasing the value of rewards received in the future, compared to rewards in the present. This is done with a discount factor γ between 0 and 1.
- Discounting encourages agents to prefer sooner rewards over later rewards. It helps algorithms converge by ensuring the value of future rewards is finite.
- With discounting, the utility of a sequence of rewards is calculated as:
U = R1 + γR2 + γ^2R3 + ...
- Discounting leads to stationary preferences over reward sequences, meaning the preferences don't change over time. The two ways to define utilities under stationary preferences are additive utility and discounted utility.

Participatory Media Arts: A TU/e DESIS Lab project
This document describes a public media art installation called "Moon Rising from Sea" being designed for the center square of a new living and leisure area in Taicang, China. The installation consists of a 10x10m base with wall reliefs and an 8m tall structure resembling a sail with the moon rising from waves. Projectors will display images, animations and videos on the sail's surface in the evenings. The design process involved workshops to inspire designs from traditional arts. The installation will allow the public to contribute photos from social media for an interactive photo show, connecting people in Taicang to those overseas and reinstating Taicang's historical role as a port.
Interaction and Fusion
The document discusses the concepts of "interaction" and "fusion" in design. It argues that while interaction design focuses on the connections between individuals, the concept of "fusion design" aims to design for a state of symbiotic harmony where people, products, and environments blend together. The document suggests that Chinese traditional culture, which emphasizes that "you are among us and we are among you", provides a model for fusion design. Fusion design would focus on designing people, not just objects, to create a spirit of "great coordination" between humans and the systems they interact with. The concept of fusion design is just being introduced here without a full framework, but aims to spark discussion.

Publishing design
This document discusses academic publishing for designers. It covers several topics:
- Design can be viewed as both a craft and a science, with different approaches like design history, problem solving, and methodology.
- Quality is ensured through peer review, where experts judge papers and provide suggestions for improvement.
- There are risks of errors in peer review like rejecting quality papers or accepting weak papers.
- Rejected papers may eventually get published through alternative open access journals or repositories after multiple rejections elsewhere.
Alan young presentation
The document discusses the value of developing a "semiotic sensibility" in graphic and communication design students. It argues that semiotics, the study of signs and symbols, should be a fundamental part of design education rather than just a theoretical component. When applied over an extended period through various projects, semiotics can help students understand how design artifacts convey meaning and influence ideology. It also strengthens students' political awareness by providing contexts to question the effects of designs. Real-life collaborative projects further expose students to designing for social issues and help envision alternative design futures.
