• Authors: Zihao Zhang
• Abstract summary: This paper traces the development of cybernetics and systems thinking back to the 1950s. By presenting a genealogy of research in the landscape architecture discipline, the paper argues that landscape architects have been an important part of the development of cybernetics. The paper calls for a new paradigm of environmental engagement to understand matters of design and machine intelligence.

• Abstract: Taking on a historical lens, this paper traces the development of cybernetics and systems thinking back to the 1950s, when a group of interdisciplinary scholars converged to create a new theoretical model based on machines and systems for understanding matters of meaning, information, consciousness, and life. By presenting a genealogy of research in the landscape architecture discipline, the paper argues that landscape architects have been an important part of the development of cybernetics by materializing systems based on cybernetic principles in the environment through ecologically based landscape design. The landscape discipline has developed a design framework that provides transformative insights into understanding machine intelligence. The paper calls for a new paradigm of environmental engagement to understand matters of design and machine intelligence.

• Diffusion-Based Visual Art Creation: A Survey and New Perspectives [51.522935314070416]
  This survey explores the emerging realm of diffusion-based visual art creation, examining its development from both artistic and technical perspectives. Our findings reveal how artistic requirements are transformed into technical challenges and highlight the design and application of diffusion-based methods within visual art creation. We aim to shed light on the mechanisms through which AI systems emulate and possibly, enhance human capacities in artistic perception and creativity.

• Feminist epistemology for machine learning systems design [0.0]
  This paper presents a series of feminist concepts as tools for developing critical, more accountable, and contextualised approaches to machine learning systems design. Namely, we suggest that the methods of situated knowledges or situating, figurations or figuring, diffraction or diffracting, and critical fabulation or speculation can be productively actualised in the field of machine learning systems design.

  This work proposes a spike-based robotic navigation and environment pseudomapping system. The hippocampus is in charge of maintaining a representation of an environment state map, and the PPC is in charge of local decision-making. This is the first implementation of an environment pseudo-mapping system with dynamic learning based on a bio-inspired hippocampal memory.

  This paper provides an overview of the computational and theoretical foundations of multimodal machine learning. We propose a taxonomy of 6 core technical challenges: representation, alignment, reasoning, generation, transference, and quantification. Recent technical achievements will be presented through the lens of this taxonomy, allowing researchers to understand the similarities and differences across new approaches.

  We propose a classification of the creative system with a hierarchy of 5 classes, showing the pathway of creativity evolving from a mimic-human artist to a Machine artist in its own right. In art creation, it is necessary for machines to understand humans' mental states, including desires, appreciation, and emotions, humans also need to understand machines' creative capabilities and limitations. We propose a novel framework for building future Machine artists, which comes with the philosophy that a human-compatible AI system should be based on the "human-in-the-loop" principle.
