Library is a collection of paintings by two of Canada s most
influential contemporary artists, Michael Dumontier and Neil
Farber. From the simple premise of the book title comes a series of
images that are laugh-out-loud funny. A collection of book covers
adorned with titles painted in simple handwritten fonts are
displayed on brightly coloured hardboard. Each book forms part of
an ongoing series Dumontier and Farber started in 2009. In
Dumontier and Farber s Library, titles like I Lost the Human Race,
Change Your Relationship to Your Unchangeable Past, and I Have a
Medical Condition That Makes It So I Don t Have to Talk to You
offer surprising and astute observations, all in the duo s
characteristic deadpan style. The simplicity of the shapes and text
evokes an immediate but lasting profundity, with each piece causing
one to wonder about the thoughts that roam their consciousness, and
the books that take up residence on their and our shelves.
Dumontier and Farber are founding members of the influential art
collective the Royal Art Lodge, and have been collaborating on art
projects for more than fifteen years, exhibiting internationally.
Library is playful and insightful as it pokes and prods at the
human condition.
This open access book comprehensively covers the fundamentals of
clinical data science, focusing on data collection, modelling and
clinical applications. Topics covered in the first section on data
collection include: data sources, data at scale (big data), data
stewardship (FAIR data) and related privacy concerns. Aspects of
predictive modelling using techniques such as classification,
regression or clustering, and prediction model validation will be
covered in the second section. The third section covers aspects of
(mobile) clinical decision support systems, operational excellence
and value-based healthcare. Fundamentals of Clinical Data Science
is an essential resource for healthcare professionals and IT
consultants intending to develop and refine their skills in
personalized medicine, using solutions based on large datasets from
electronic health records or telemonitoring programmes. The book's
promise is "no math, no code"and will explain the topics in a style
that is optimized for a healthcare audience.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 22nd
International Conference on Knowledge Engineering and Knowledge
Management, EKAW 2020, held in Bolzano, Italy, in September 2020.
The 12 full papers presented together with 7 were carefully
reviewed and selected from 104 submissions. The special theme of
EKAW 2020 is "Ethical and Trustworthy Knowledge Engineering". The
papers cover all aspects of eliciting, acquiring, discovering,
modeling, and managing knowledge and construction of
knowledge-intensive systems.
The starting image was of a circle on a rectangle; every subsequent
image was visually connected to the previous one. It was understood
from the beginning that they had to use images that could be
scanned from physical items they already had at home (no images
from the Internet)-such as children's books, personal collections
of technical manuals and assorted ephemera. The call-and-response
nature of the enterprise can be appreciated in the distinctive
pairs of facing pages that present themselves as you go through the
bound book. To reinforce their dual roles each image appears twice
in the book, once as response and again as call. One can see the
resulting series of images as a closed loop with no beginning and
no end. This second, expanded edition includes the entire project
of 196 exchanges that make up Dumontier and Lexier's clever,
competitive, and meandering loop of images. Creative people in art
and design will take pleasure in browsing the book and discover
formal analogies, witty poetic correspondence and dadaesque
follies, which congregate to an unseen visual narrative. Truly an
inspirational tool for creative activists!
