Game design 4

Benjey

This document discusses several topics related to games including information theory, game theory, games as systems of conflict, and the experience of play. It examines how information theory relates to uncertainty and choice in games. Game theory uses decision trees and concepts of rational players to analyze games. Games involve various types of conflicts and different types of players. The experience of play incorporates flow, mechanics, narrative, and simulation elements.

Game design 3

Benjey

This document discusses game rules and their role in defining the formal structure of games. It covers different levels of rules, including constitutive, operational, and implicit rules. It also discusses how rules limit player actions, are shared by all players, and are fixed. The document explores how rules differ between board games and computer games, and how games can be viewed as complex systems that allow for emergent gameplay.

Game design 2

Benjey

This design document outlines the key elements that should be included when documenting a game design. It discusses including an overview, vision statement, marketing details, gameplay mechanics, characters, story, technical specifications, and legal considerations. The goal is to provide a comprehensive blueprint that describes all aspects of the game design so that it can be clearly communicated and implemented.

Design, invention, and innovation are interdependent processes. Invention involves generating new ideas by understanding relationships to solve problems. Innovation is the successful adoption of novel ideas or solutions. Design solves problems by unambiguously visualizing solutions, and there can be several solutions in design. The early stages of design involve visualizing initial ideas which is a source of creativity, formulating problems, and finding solutions. Idea sketching, drawings, modeling, and prototyping facilitate accidental discoveries and innovations by externalizing concepts through physical embodiment and allowing revisiting of ideas. Unexpected discoveries of new features during initial design practice create opportunities to progress design ideas and requirements through visualization and discoveries.

Industrial Design Projects

Benjey

This document outlines the objectives and approach of DesignProjects, an industrial design coaching program. The key objectives are to develop students' creativity, passion for design, and independence. Coaches provide guidance through design projects, feedback, and tracking progress across 12 competencies including ideas, technology, usability, aesthetics, and self-assessment. Coaches are available for help and challenges but will not design for students or limit their progress. The goal is for students to take responsibility for their own development through self-reflection.

Entertaining emotions

Benjey

This document discusses using brain functions and emotions to enhance entertainment through technology. It introduces Nirvana Technology's models for Kansei mediated entertainment, which aims to make using computers a more positive experience by transferring knowledge about emotions into the field of entertainment. The conclusion reaffirms that emotions and feelings are important aspects of cognitive systems that could be leveraged to create entertainment that is fun, stimulating, and enlightening.

Mixing Real and Virtual Worlds

Benjey

This document discusses a project to design expressive avatars for virtual environments by taking inspiration from theater. The project aims to improve avatars' communication capabilities and make their emotions and states easily understood by users. The document looks at Commedia dell'Arte and Noh theater styles and explores how gestures, postures and appearances from these styles could inform avatar design. Examples of different postures and gestures for activities like conversations, etiquette and object interactions are presented. The goal is to implement avatars that convey clear messages through animated behaviors inspired by theater techniques.

Current Work

Benjey

Ben Salem is an industrial designer who researches conscious robots, modelling volition, and the functional neuroanatomy of the brain to inspire interactive systems. His presentation covered his work modeling the brain and developing robots like MiniMe, which mimics human joint control, and Mollycuddle, an empathetic toy. He takes a holistic approach inspired by understanding human emotions, volition, and consciousness to develop adaptive systems.

Designing Conscious Robots

Benjey

Mixing Realities

Benjey

Theatre became successful at creating reality through plot, characters, performance, and invoking empathy and involvement in the audience. A case study on improvisational Commedia dell'Arte theatre showed that it mixed realities by having a loosely outlined plot that actors improvised, reacted to the audience, and involved the audience in intervening in the plot. Successful theatre mixes the play's reality and the audience's reality so spectators become actors and vice versa, with all having a say in the course of events.

(Pro/Re) Active Forms

Benjey

The document discusses inspiration and thinking in industrial design. It addresses what inspiration is, how forms relate to aesthetics and emotions, and how emotions motivate interaction. It also examines tools for thinking, types of thinking like breakthrough thinking, and how to avoid barriers to creative thinking. The document proposes further work on inspiration protocols, relationships between thinking and inspiration, and inspiration through interaction media.

Desform05

Benjey

This document discusses different levels of product development and design styles, as well as examples of active forms in nature, technology, and potential future applications. It explores using smart materials like shape memory alloys and electroactive ceramics to create tangible interaction devices with advanced feedback through mechanical deformation rather than electronics. The conclusion suggests that active forms have the potential to reduce device size and create simple yet sophisticated feedback signals. Future directions may include investigating active forms over time and the aesthetics of interactions with pro-re-active shapes.

SmartEx results presentation

Benjey

The researchers conducted an experiment to test whether adaptive exhibition booths are more effective and efficient than standard booths. In the experiment, participants visited a booth under three different test conditions: no profiles/adaptation, profiles only, and profiles with adaptation. Results showed that adaptive booths reduced task completion times and increased the number of correct answers provided. Participants also felt more useful and in control with adaptive booths. However, further research is needed to determine the best type of adaptivity and address issues like the role of exhibitors. The researchers plan future work on booth specifications, information architecture, and measuring the three criteria of efficiency, effectiveness, and affect.

zkStudyClub - LatticeFold: A Lattice-based Folding Scheme and its Application...

Alex Pruden

Folding is a recent technique for building efficient recursive SNARKs. Several elegant folding protocols have been proposed, such as Nova, Supernova, Hypernova, Protostar, and others. However, all of them rely on an additively homomorphic commitment scheme based on discrete log, and are therefore not post-quantum secure. In this work we present LatticeFold, the first lattice-based folding protocol based on the Module SIS problem. This folding protocol naturally leads to an efficient recursive lattice-based SNARK and an efficient PCD scheme. LatticeFold supports folding low-degree relations, such as R1CS, as well as high-degree relations, such as CCS. The key challenge is to construct a secure folding protocol that works with the Ajtai commitment scheme. The difficulty, is ensuring that extracted witnesses are low norm through many rounds of folding. We present a novel technique using the sumcheck protocol to ensure that extracted witnesses are always low norm no matter how many rounds of folding are used. Our evaluation of the final proof system suggests that it is as performant as Hypernova, while providing post-quantum security. Paper Link: https://eprint.iacr.org/2024/257

The expansion of AI services necessitates enhanced computational capabilities on edge devices. Temporal Event Neural Networks (TENNs), developed by BrainChip, represent a novel and highly efficient state-space network. TENNs demonstrate exceptional proficiency in handling multi-dimensional streaming data, facilitating advancements in object detection, action recognition, speech enhancement and language model/sequence generation. Through the utilization of polynomial-based continuous convolutions, TENNs streamline models, expedite training processes and significantly diminish memory requirements, achieving notable reductions of up to 50x in parameters and 5,000x in energy consumption compared to prevailing methodologies like transformers. Integration with BrainChip’s Akida neuromorphic hardware IP further enhances TENNs’ capabilities, enabling the realization of highly capable, portable and passively cooled edge devices. This presentation delves into the technical innovations underlying TENNs, presents real-world benchmarks, and elucidates how this cutting-edge approach is positioned to revolutionize edge AI across diverse applications.

Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity server

Antonios Katsarakis

This slide deck presents DLHT, a concurrent in-memory hashtable. Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).

Introduction of Cybersecurity with OSS at Code Europe 2024

Hiroshi SHIBATA

I develop the Ruby programming language, RubyGems, and Bundler, which are package managers for Ruby. Today, I will introduce how to enhance the security of your application using open-source software (OSS) examples from Ruby and RubyGems. The first topic is CVE (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures). I have published CVEs many times. But what exactly is a CVE? I'll provide a basic understanding of CVEs and explain how to detect and handle vulnerabilities in OSS. Next, let's discuss package managers. Package managers play a critical role in the OSS ecosystem. I'll explain how to manage library dependencies in your application. I'll share insights into how the Ruby and RubyGems core team works to keep our ecosystem safe. By the end of this talk, you'll have a better understanding of how to safeguard your code.

Apps Break Data

Ivo Velitchkov

How information systems are built or acquired puts information, which is what they should be about, in a secondary place. Our language adapted accordingly, and we no longer talk about information systems but applications. Applications evolved in a way to break data into diverse fragments, tightly coupled with applications and expensive to integrate. The result is technical debt, which is re-paid by taking even bigger "loans", resulting in an ever-increasing technical debt. Software engineering and procurement practices work in sync with market forces to maintain this trend. This talk demonstrates how natural this situation is. The question is: can something be done to reverse the trend?

From Natural Language to Structured Solr Queries using LLMs

Sease

This talk draws on experimentation to enable AI applications with Solr. One important use case is to use AI for better accessibility and discoverability of the data: while User eXperience techniques, lexical search improvements, and data harmonization can take organizations to a good level of accessibility, a structural (or “cognitive” gap) remains between the data user needs and the data producer constraints. That is where AI – and most importantly, Natural Language Processing and Large Language Model techniques – could make a difference. This natural language, conversational engine could facilitate access and usage of the data leveraging the semantics of any data source. The objective of the presentation is to propose a technical approach and a way forward to achieve this goal. The key concept is to enable users to express their search queries in natural language, which the LLM then enriches, interprets, and translates into structured queries based on the Solr index’s metadata. This approach leverages the LLM’s ability to understand the nuances of natural language and the structure of documents within Apache Solr. The LLM acts as an intermediary agent, offering a transparent experience to users automatically and potentially uncovering relevant documents that conventional search methods might overlook. The presentation will include the results of this experimental work, lessons learned, best practices, and the scope of future work that should improve the approach and make it production-ready.
