Last week, our students learned how to conduct a proper evaluation for an NLP experiment. To this end, we introduced a small textcorpus with sentences about Joseph Fourier, who counts as one of the discoverers of the greenhouse effect, responsible for global warming.

Harmony-Aware Music-driven Motion Synthesis with Perceptual Constraint on UGC Datasets
With the popularity of video-based user-generated content (UGC) on social media, harmony, as dictated by human perceptual principles, is critical in assessing the rhythmic consistency of audio-visual UGCs for better user engagement. In this work, we propose a novel harmony-aware GAN framework, following a specifically designed harmony evaluation strategy to enhance rhythmic synchronization in the automatic music-to-motion synthesis using a UGC dance dataset. This harmony strategy utilizes refin…

Apache Flink is uniquely positioned to serve as the backbone for AI agents, equipping them with the powerful new tool of stream processing. Join Steffen Hoellinger at this year's Berlin Buzzwords to explore how Flink jobs can be transformed into “Agents”—autonomous, goal-driven entities that dynamically interact with data streams, trigger actions, and adapt their behaviour based on real-time insights.
