Problematizing the Diversity Debit Hypothesis by Alexei Anisin

“…Diversity debit has subsisted and will likely continue to exist not as a result of individual failure, but due to the interaction of structural (neoliberal capitalistic) forces with the agency of either government-led actions (antagonization and discrimination of minority groups) and corporate profiteering. …”

Postfazione. La fragilità della sovranità tra colonialismi ed epistemologie dei sud del mondo by Flavia Cuturi

“…Focusing on the intersections between these processes and current and past forms of colonialism, the intent of the work is to outline the historical relational complexity between dependence and autonomy in the food supply chain, highlighting the common socio-environmental "wounds" rooted in a history of colonial domination and persistent discrimination. Through a diachronic and positioned gaze, the objective is to bring the notions of "terraformation" and "coloniality" into dialogue with the different epistemologies and ontologies of the global South represented by the insular contexts proposed in the dossier; in them, food sovereignty, marginalization and "isolation", the result of endocolonial practices that perpetuate socio-environmental inequalities and conflicts, are combined with forms of resistance, defense of territorial autonomy, and the demand for health and well-being. …”

Casting the George Floyd story in a broader context by Gerson Uaripi Tjihenuna

“…The Black race has gone through many dehumanising experiences, including the Trans-Atlantic slave trade, colonialism, and all manner of discrimination. This, in turn, has led to an inferiority complex because, for the most part, we have been defined by others – and not in the most positive of terms to say the least. …”

Synthetic spoofing speech detection method based on center-symmetric local binary pattern by Jia XU, Zhihua JIAN, Honghui JIN, Chao WU, Lin YOU, Yingxiao WU

“…In view of the fact that the local binary pattern (LBP) based speech spoofing detection method has low detection accuracy when detecting synthetic speech, a spoofing speech detection method based on center-symmetric local binary pattern (CSLBP) was proposed.In this method, the spectrogram of the speech signal was obtained through short-time Fourier transform (STFT), and then the texture feature was extracted from the spectrogram using the CSLBP.The random forest classifier was trained by the extracted texture feature to realize the discrimination of genuine and spoofing speech.The CSLBP-based method comprehensively considered the value and position relationship of pixels in the spectrogram so as to contain more texture information, and reduced the feature dimension to 16 beneficial to decrease the amount of computation.Experimental results on the ASVspoof 2019 dataset show that, compared with the LBP-based spoofing detection method, the proposed method reduced the tandem detection cost function (t-DCF) of synthetic spoofing speech by 16.98% and increased the detection speed by 89.73%.…”
