Historicity and the contemporary theatre of Kuo Pao Kun and Krishen Jit by Wee, C. J. Wan-Ling

“…What is the place of contemporary art forms from the 1980s within the present global dispensation in which the attempt to obliterate temporality transpired, as witnessed in the Hegelian revivalism of Francis Fukuyama’s The End of History and the Last Man (1992)? This essay suggests that the contemporary of contemporary art in Singapore and Malaysia is less a period style and more a differing artistic response to the end of temporality as a situation. …”

Learning progressive joint propagation for human motion prediction by Cai, Yujun, Huang, Lin, Wang, Yiwei, Cham, Tat-Jen, Cai, Jianfei, Yuan, Junsong, Liu, Jun, Yang, Xu, Zhu, Yiheng, Shen, Xiaohui, Liu, Ding, Liu, Jing, Thalmann, Nadia Magnenat

“…Second, to further exploit the inherent kinematic chains for better 3D structures, we apply a progressive-decoding strategy, which performs in a central-to-peripheral extension according to the structural connectivity. Last, in order to incorporate a general motion space for high-quality prediction, we build a memory-based dictionary, which aims to preserve the global motion patterns in training data to guide the predictions.We evaluate the proposed method on two challenging benchmark datasets (Human3.6M and CMU-Mocap). …”
