The article offers information related to "Embryonic Eavesdropping: How Animals Hear and Respond to Sound: Recent findings buck the traditional idea that embryos are passive agents and instead suggest that by tuning into vibrations, organisms can better prepare to enter the outside world" by Amanda Heidt, which appeared in the periodical "The Scientist Magazine" on November 8, 2021, is presented. Topic includes on vocal repertoire present in a bird used to communicate with their peers.

The ability to find short representations, i.e. to compress data, is crucial for many intelligent systems. We present a theory of incremental compression showing that arbitrary data strings, that can be described by a set of features, can be compressed by searching for those features incrementally, which results in a partition of the information content of the string into a complete set of pairwise independent pieces. The description length of this partition turns out to be close to optimal in terms of the Kolmogorov complexity of the string. Exploiting this decomposition, we introduce ALICE – a computable ALgorithm for Incremental ComprEssion – and derive an expression for its time complexity. Finally, we show that our concept of a feature is closely related to Martin-Löf randomness tests, thereby formalizing the meaning of "property" for computable objects. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

• Equality, dependence and independence between FA -spaces are proposed, and dependence and independence are characterized by the inclusion degree. • Distance between FA -spaces is considered from the angle of separation. • Algebraic, mapping and lattice characterizations of FA -spaces are obtained. • Measuring uncertainty of FA -spaces is investigated. • To evaluate the performance of the proposed measures for uncertainty of FA -spaces two examples are employed to do effectiveness analysis from the viewpoint of statistics. Fuzzy approximation spaces (FA -spaces) can be seen as approximation spaces (A -spaces) in a fuzzy environment. This article studies relationships between FA -spaces and their uncertainty measures. Dependence, partial dependence and independence between FA -spaces, as characterized by the inclusion degree, are first proposed. Then, the distance between FA -spaces is considered in terms of the angle of difference. Next, algebraic, map and lattice features of FA -spaces are obtained. Finally, the uncertainty of FA -spaces is measured by using the dependence between them, an application is given, and to assess the performance of the presented measures, two examples are used to perform effectiveness analysis by means of elementary statistical methods.

We have been witnessed a growing research activity to advance new strategies to detect and exploit underlying sparsity in the parameters of physical models. In many cases, the sparsity is not explicit in the relations among the parameter coefficients requiring some suitable tools to reveal the potential sparsity. This work proposes a family of adaptive filtering algorithms, aimed at exposing some hidden features of the unknown parameters. Although the basic idea applies to any algorithm, we will concentrate the work in the LMS-type algorithms, giving rise to a family collectively named as Feature LMS (F-LMS) algorithms. These algorithms increase the convergence speed and reduce the steady-state mean-squared error, in comparison with the classical LMS solution. The main idea is to apply linear transformations, through the so-called feature matrices, to reveal the sparsity hidden in the coefficient vector, followed by a sparsity-promoting penalty function to exploit the exposed sparsity. For illustration, a few F-LMS algorithms for lowpass, bandpass, and highpass systems are introduced by using simple feature matrices that require either only simple operations or can learn the features. Simulations and real-life experiments demonstrate that the F-LMS algorithms bring about several performance improvements whenever the unknown sparsity of parameters is exposed.

We extend to a certain class of compound concepts the binary model classically used for the representation of simple concepts. This class consists of concepts that are determined or modified by a single feature. The treatment of such a mixed composition shows the need to differentiate between exceptional and non exceptional modifiers. In the first case, typicality is easily retrieved from the components of the composition, while, in the second case, it is necessary to isolate the characteristic features of the initial concept that contradict the modifier. The distinction between exceptional and non exceptional modifiers plays a key role in the evaluation of resemblance with mixed compositions. • An original treatment of features \vs concepts. • The distinction between exceptional and non exceptional modifiers. • A specific representation for adjective noun combinations. • A new insight in Concept Induction through resemblance.

The article offers information on the move of Nick Barresi of Port Jefferson Station, New York to build hi 99 Camaro Z28 automobile into a track contender. The stock Z28 would become the blueprint for performance aspirations of Barresi with installation of Nick Williams 92 millimeter (mm) throttle body and FAST LSX 92mm intake manifold. Barresi sought the expertise of Brian Tote of automotive specialist Kaltec Performance, who would perform all the tuning, rear-end, suspension and engine work.
