Interview with Daniele Archibugi on his latest essay, The Sorcerer’s Apprentice, published by Luiss University Press

Andrea Bettini, from RaiNews24, interviews Daniele Archibugi on his latest essay, “The Sorcerer’s Apprentice: Advice, Tricks, and Spells for Aspiring Scholars” published by Luiss University Press.

A narrative and a guide to navigating the rules and rituals of the academic and scientific community.

“Those who observe everything and do nothing. This is how Adam Smith defined philosophers and, by extension, scholars in general. They are university professors, engineers, and researchers working in corporate laboratories, and scholars in public institutions and non-profit organizations.

Aspiring to become a scholar is a desire for many, but there are always many contenders and few available positions.

How can one make their way in this universe? Giving free rein to one’s ingenuity is a necessary condition, but often not sufficient.

An apprentice scholar must also learn how to apply to a prestigious university and request a scholarship, how to benefit from a PhD and choose the right mentors, how to submit their work to authoritative journals, and how to navigate conferences. This book explains, in a direct and irreverent way, the implicit rules that govern the republic of knowledge.”

Emotion Classification from Speech and Text in Videos Using a Multimodal Approach

In the journal Multimodal Technologies and Interaction published on April 14, 2022, an article appears written by Maria Chiara Caschera, Patrizia Grifoni, and Fernando Ferri titled “Emotion Classification from Speech and Text in Videos Using a Multimodal Approach

Emotion classification is a research area in which there has been very intensive literature production concerning natural language processing, multimedia data, semantic knowledge discovery, social network mining, and text and multimedia data mining. This paper addresses the issue of emotion classification and proposes a method for classifying the emotions expressed in multimodal data extracted from videos. The proposed method models multimodal data as a sequence of features extracted from facial expressions, speech, gestures, and text, using a linguistic approach. Each sequence of multimodal data is correctly associated with the emotion by a method that models each emotion using a hidden Markov model. The trained model is evaluated on samples of multimodal sentences associated with seven basic emotions. The experimental results demonstrate a good classification rate for emotions.

The article is in Open format
