Folk music style modelling by recurrent neural networks with long short term memory units

We demonstrate two generative models created by training a recurrent neural network (RNN) with three hidden layers of long short-term memory (LSTM) units. This extends past work in numerous directions, including training deeper models with nearly 24,000 high-level transcriptions of folk tunes. We discuss our on-going work

O Plano Tecnológico - avaliação

Neste working paper pretendemos contribuir para um primeiro exercício de avaliação do principal programa público de apoio à inovação na última década – o Plano Tecnológico. Não se tratando de uma avaliação de impacto, a análise dos principais indicadores definidos permite averiguar se as metas inicialmente propostas foram (ou não) alcançadas, tendo por base o período 2005-2009 (período de implementação do Plano Tecnológico). A análise efetuada evidencia que grande parte das metas propostas foram ultrapassadas. In this working paper we intend to contribute to a first evaluation of the main Portuguese public program to support innovation in the last decade - the Technological Plan. Although this is not an impact assessment, the analysis of the main indicators that have been set allows to determine the fulfillment (or not) of the goals initially proposed, based on the period 2005-2009 (the Technological Plan implementation period). The performed analysis shows that most of the proposed goals were met

Inovação aberta e políticas públicas na União Europeia

No presente trabalho de investigação (working paper) pretendemos analisar o enquadramento das políticas públicas no âmbito da inovação aberta (open innovation), tendo como referência geográfica e política a União Europeia. A linha de investigação apresentada neste documento irá partir do conceito de inovação aberta, analisando a sua pertinência no âmbito da investigação mais recente no que respeita às políticas públicas e à política de inovação da União Europeia. A análise preliminar indica que a inovação aberta tem vindo a ser considerada, em grande parte, pelos principais instrumentos europeus de apoio à inovação. This working paper intends to analyze the framework of public policies within the open innovation approach, focused in the European Union reality. Starting from the open innovation concept, we analyze its relevance in the context of the EU public policy and innovation policy. Preliminary analysis indicates that open innovation has been considered by the major EU innovation support instruments

Open Innovation research: trends and influences – a bibliometric analysis

In this paper, a bibliometric analysis about open innovation research is developed, covering the period of 2003-2013 (using the Scopus database) and carried out in three steps: 1) characterization of the research on the main trends of open innovation; 2) analysis of the theoretical influence on the open innovation research; 3) analysis of the influence of open innovation literature on other research areas and disciplines. The main conclusions are: open innovation research is mostly focused on the analysis of the U.S.A. and European countries reality; analysis by time periods shows an increase on the number of target countries and regions of open innovation research; the origins of open innovation were influenced by several areas of economics and management, developed over the last decades; there is a lack of research regarding open innovation outside the firm environment, such as in clusters/networks, innovation systems, public policies or at individual level; open innovation research is influencing a growing number of areas outside business, management and engineering; new research methodologies should be used by open innovation scholars in order to deepen the existing knowledge

A Delphi Approach to Boost an Open Innovation Policy

In this research paper we intend to find out whether open innovation approach may be a valid approach to the definition of innovation policy. To that, we use a method applied in various fields of study, including public policy and open innovation studies: the Delphi method. After the introduction (Section 1), we describe the Delphi method (Section 2) and the methodology used in this research (Section 3). The results of the application of the Delphi method are presented in Section 4, where we identify public policy priorities in an open innovation perspective. Then, we propose measures of public policy through which these priorities could be achieved (Section 5). Section 6 presents the main findings, concluding that the approach of open innovation may be considered for prioritization of innovation policy and policy measures

Three-dimensional assessment of the judo throwing techniques frequently used in competition

P. 107-115Antecedentes y objetivo del estudio: aunque las técnicas de lanzamiento de judo no se consideran perjudiciales para el atacante, la repetición de estas técnicas podría causar lesiones de tipo de esfuerzo repetitivo. El objetivo del estudio fue conocer los grados de flexión y extensión, y de abducción y aducción de las articulaciones locomotoras principales, realizando las técnicas de lanzamiento más empleadas en la competencia de alto nivel. Material y métodos: Dos judokas de clase mundial, bajo la supervisión de un experto japonés de élite, realizaron seoi-nage, uchi-mata, osoto-gari, ouchi-gari y kouchi-gari. Fueron analizados utilizando tecnología tridimensional. Resultados: Los datos de los tiros de rendimiento obtenidos de los expertos 1 y 2 respectivamente fueron muy similares. Los resultados indican que la repetición sistemática de seoi-nage, uchi-mata y o-soto-gari puede producir patologías en los tendones del hombro. La práctica a largo plazo de seoi-nage y uchi-mata puede generar epicondilitis. Los judokas que han sufrido lesiones en el ligamento cruzado anterior deben tener cuidado al ejecutar técnicas que exijan una extensión de rodilla explosiva (es decir, seoi-nage) contra una gran resistencia. Los judokas no están expuestos a lesiones por uso excesivo cuando realizan lanzamientos de ouchi-gari y kouchi-gari. Conclusiones: la práctica sistemática de las técnicas de lanzamiento de judo más empleadas en el judo de alto nivel puede causar lesiones por el uso excesivo en las articulaciones de la parte superior del cuerpo (hombro, codo). Sin embargo, las articulaciones de la parte inferior del cuerpo (rodilla, tobillo) no parecen correr el riesgo de lesionarse por el uso excesivoS
