JFugue is an open-source Java library that can be used for algorithmic music composition. Developed by David Koelle, currently it is in its fifth major version. You can get the library from here. I had downloaded the library some time ago, but could not spend much time since my primary focus has been on Opusmodus. This […]
The recently concluded Black Friday sale by UVI was an irresistible temptation for me and I ended up investing in Falcon 2 and a few other instruments. Although I have the latest versions of Ableton Live, Propellerheads Reason, Renoise, and Reaper, I felt Falcon 2 would be a good addition to my existing collection, mainly because […]
I have recently started implementing a library for algorithmic music composition. It provides higher-level algorithms and abstractions for composing multi-track music, and works with Opusmodus software. Opusmodus is a great platform for music composition and has excellent support for MIDI-based music. My library is an attempt to enrich the Opusmodus platform with features that facilitate easier […]
Title: The Common Lisp Condition System: Beyond Exception Handling with Control Flow Mechanisms Author: Michał “phoe” Herda Publisher: Apress Year: 2020 Unlike with other languages, it is rare to find new books being published on Lisp. The last book on Lisp, which I purchased was “Common Lisp Recipes” by Edmund Weitz in March 2016. After a […]
In mathematics, the simplest example of Random Walk is a random process along a one-dimensional plane of integers, starting at 0 and moving in the positive or negative direction in steps of +1 or -1, with equal probability. The Random Walk theory has been applied in many domains including Physics and even the Stock Market. Here is a […]
In my previous article, I showed how “iLangGen” framework facilitates text generation using templates. I talked about the various “patterns” that can be used in a template. However, in that article, I did not go into the details of the “Embedded Template” pattern. That is the focus of today’s article. Embedded Template This pattern allows […]
I had written earlier about natural language generation using my iLangGen framework. I used a “template” text file which was instantiated dynamically based on predefined “grammars” and external data. The sample application I show-cased demonstrated its utility and versatility. Today I would like to touch upon a few other “pattern” elements that can be embedded in […]
Extracting meaningful information from unstructured, human readable text is a hot topic of research today and has important applications in many domains. I have written a few blogs related to this topic, for example, see this and this. In today’s article, I would like to show how Mathematica can be a great help when working with […]
Title: Homeopathy in Intensive Care and Emergency Medicine Author: Michael Frass and Martin Bundner (Ed.) Publisher: Narayana Verlag Year: 2017 (2nd English Edition) This book is somewhat unique in that it shows, through a good number of cases, that homeopathy can be used alongside allopathy in treating serious disorders in intensive care and emergency. There […]
One of the things I like about Elixir is its support for patterns at the core language level, not through library functions as in most other languages. This contributes to writing cleaner code, in my opinion. Another environment that I am familiar with, namely Mathematica, boasts of (arguably) the most powerful symbolic programming language called […]
