Published as a conference paper at ICLR 2020 MEASURING COMPOSITIONAL GENERALIZATION: ACOMPREHENSIVE METHOD ON REALISTIC DATA Daniel Keysers, Nathanael Schärli, Nathan Scales, Hylke Buisman, Daniel Furrer, Sergii Kashubin, Nikola Momchev, Danila Sinopalnikov, Lukasz Stafiniak, Tibor Tihon, Dmitry Tsarkov, Xiao Wang, Marc van Zee & Olivier Bousquet Google Research, Brain Team {keysers,schaerli,nkscales,hylke,danielfurrer,sergik,nikola,sinopalnikov, lukstafi,ttihon,tsar,wangxiao,marcvanzee,obousquet}@google.com ABSTRACT State-of-the-art machine learning methods exhibit limited compositional general- ization. At the same time, there is a lack of realistic benchmarks that comprehen- sively measure this ability, which makes it challenging to find and evaluate im- provements. We introduce a novel method to systematically construct such bench- marks by maximizing compound divergence while guaranteeing a small atom di- vergence between train and test sets, and we quantitatively compare this method to other approaches for creating compositional generalization benchmarks. We present a large and realistic natural language question answering dataset that is constructed according to this method, and we use it to analyze the compositional generalization ability of three machine learning architectures. We find that they fail to generalize compositionally and that there is a surprisingly strong nega- tive correlation between compound divergence and accuracy. We also demonstrate how our method can be used to create new compositionality benchmarks on top of the existing SCAN dataset, which confirms these findings. 1 INTRODUCTION Human intelligence exhibits systematic compositionality (Fodor & Pylyshyn, 1988), the capacity to understand and produce a potentially infinite number of novel combinations of known components, i.e., to make “infinite use of finite means” (Chomsky, 1965). -

Post-Human Nightmares
Post-Human Nightmares Mark Player 13 May 2011 A man wakes up one morning to find himself slowly transforming into a living hybrid of meat and scrap metal; he dreams of being sodomised by a woman with a snakelike, strap-on phallus. Clandestine experiments of sensory depravation and mental torture unleash psychic powers in test subjects, prompting them to explode into showers of black pus or tear the flesh off each other's bodies in a sexual frenzy. Meanwhile, a hysterical cyborg sex-slave runs amok through busy streets whilst electrically charged demi-gods battle for supremacy on the rooftops above. This is cyberpunk, Japanese style : a brief filmmaking movement that erupted from the Japanese underground to garner international attention in the late 1980s. The world of live-action Japanese cyberpunk is a twisted and strange one indeed; a far cry from the established notions of computer hackers, ubiquitous technologies and domineering conglomerates as found in the pages of William Gibson's Neuromancer (1984) - a pivotal cyberpunk text during the sub-genre's formation and recognition in the early eighties. From a cinematic standpoint, it perhaps owes more to the industrial gothic of David Lynch's Eraserhead (1976) and the psycho-sexual body horror of early David Cronenberg than the rain- soaked metropolis of Ridley Scott's Blade Runner (1982), although Scott's neon infused tech-noir has been a major aesthetic touchstone for cyberpunk manga and anime institutions such as Katsuhiro Otomo's Akira (1982- 90) and Masamune Shirow's Ghost in the Shell (1989- ). In the Western world, cyberpunk was born out of the new wave science fiction literature of the sixties and seventies; authors such Harlan Ellison, J.G. -

Alternative Titles Index
VHD Index - 02 9/29/04 4:43 PM Page 715 Alternative Titles Index While it's true that we couldn't include every Asian cult flick in this slim little vol- ume—heck, there's dozens being dug out of vaults and slapped onto video as you read this—the one you're looking for just might be in here under a title you didn't know about. Most of these films have been released under more than one title, and while we've done our best to use the one that's most likely to be familiar, that doesn't guarantee you aren't trying to find Crippled Avengers and don't know we've got it as The Return of the 5 Deadly Venoms. And so, we've gathered as many alternative titles as we can find, including their original language title(s), and arranged them in alphabetical order in this index to help you out. Remember, English language articles ("a", "an", "the") are ignored in the sort, but foreign articles are NOT ignored. Hey, my Japanese is a little rusty, and some languages just don't have articles.

Consequently, many left their masters to become wandering ronin. Mokunoshin Tsuzuki (played by Sosuke Ikematsu) is one such samurai. He survives by helping farmers in a village out of Edo. To maintain his swordsmanship skills, Mokunoshin spars daily with Ichisuke (Ryusei Maeda), a farmer's son. Ichisuke's sister Yu (Yu Aoi) watches them train with a hint of disapproval although there's an unspoken attraction between her and Mokunoshin. While farm life is peaceful, there is monumental turmoil in Japan. The US Navy has sent Commodore Perry to Japan to insist that it trades with them. This in turn causes civil unrest. -

A Cibercultura E O Cinema De Shinya Tsukamoto
INSTITUTO SUPERIOR DE CIÊNCIAS DO TRABALHO E DA EMPRESA DEPARTAMENTO DE SOCIOLOGIA A CIBERCULTURA E O CINEMA DE SHINYA TSUKAMOTO: UM ESTUDO A PARTIR DO DÍPTICO TETSUO Marta Sofia da Luz Marcos Pinho Alves Dissertação submetida como requisito parcial para obtenção do grau de Mestre em Comunicação, Cultura e Tecnologias de Informação Orientador: Prof. Doutor José Luís Garcia Junho, 2007 À memória dos meus avós, Constança Carmelita Luz e João da Graça Marcos 2 RESUMO Esta dissertação centra a sua análise na relação entre a cibercultura, a figura do cineasta Shinya Tsukamoto no contexto do cinema nipónico e o díptico da sua autoria constituído pelos filmes homónimos, Tetsuo (Tetsuo: O Homem de Aço, 1989) e Tetsuo II: Body Hammer (Tetsuo II: O Ciberpunk , 1992). Numa primeira etapa, elaboramos uma proposta de compreensão do conceito de cibercultura, noção recente e ainda pouco estabilizada, tentando esboçar aqueles que se nos afiguram como os seus elementos mais relevantes. Esta contribuição é realizada através do cruzamento do pensamento de diversos teóricos e de algumas das principais aproximações conceptuais delineadas em torno daquela categoria. Na sequência desta sistematização, procedemos a uma análise detalhada do imaginário conceptual e artístico de Tsukamoto, inserindo-o no contexto da cinematografia do seu país de origem e das relações que esta tem mantido desde a sua génese com o Ocidente. O propósito desta parte da pesquisa é estabelecer pontos de relacionamento entre o cinema de Tsukamoto e o âmbito cibercultural contemporâneo. De forma a aprofundar esta reflexão, na derradeira parte da investigação efectuamos uma análise ao díptico Tetsuo com o objectivo de aceder à forma como se expressa aquele imaginário quer do ponto de vista do conteúdo, quer ainda dos pontos de vista narrativo, expressivo e técnico. -
Il Cinema Di Tsukamoto Shin'ya

Prof. Eugenio De Angelis Correlatore Ch. Prof. Toshio Miyake Laureando Alessio Pepe Matricola 841037 Anno Accademico 2016 / 2017 要旨 1989 年、日本の映画監督、塚本晋也の初長編映画「鉄男」がローマ 国際ファンタスティック映画祭でグランプリを取った。当時、アメリ カとヨーロッパでの日本映画への興味はもう薄れて来るところであっ た。その中で、塚本の受賞は映画監督としてのキャリアを積んだだけ でなく、日本のSF映画、特にサイバーパンクというサブジャンルに も非常な影響を与えた。そして「鉄男」が次第にサイバーバンクのフ ァンの間で話題になるに連れ、塚本はカルト映画監督として注目を浴 びるようになった。それはなぜであろうか。答えを挙げるために、と りあえずオリエンタリズムという現象についての説明をする必要があ ると思う。 オリエンタリズムとは、フランスとイギリスをはじめ、ヨーロッパ だけでなくアメリカまで展開されたアカデミックな思想で、世界を 「西洋」と「東洋」に分けて考える考え方である。この「東洋」とは アジアの全ての国の特徴が一つの単語で画一化された概念である。 「東洋」に対し、オリエンタリズムは難解でエキゾチックなイメージ があり、「西洋」の人々から見ると「東洋」の社会は「西洋」に較べ それほど文明化されていないと考える思想である。 面白いことに、この考え方は「西洋」だけでなく、日本でも、特に 日本の映画や小説などで時々見られる。例えば、日本人の小説家と映 画監督の作品にはアメリカ人などが日本に対し用いるステレオタイプ が出て来ることもある。この場合では「セルフ・オリエンタリズム」 とも呼ばれる。映画と言えば、「日活」の「寿司タイフーン」という 部局で作られている映画はいつも過激で、日本の文化の中で「西洋」 の人々に魅力を発散するさまざまな要素が含まれている。 塚本の作品からも「セルフ・オリエンタリズム」の要素が見られる。 サイバーパンクの場合はもちろん、別のジャンルの映画でも「鉄男」 で使われた過激なスタイルが出て来るのが一つの例である。塚本はイ ンタービューでこのスタイルが漫画の影響を受けたと言った。 1 しかし、時々「セルフ・オリエンタリズム」に抵抗する傾向もみら れる。例えば、柾悟郎の小説「ヴィーナス・シティ」(1992 年)では、 リドリー・スコットの「ブレードランナー」(1982 年)のようなアメ リカで作られたサイバーパンクの映画に現れるオリエンタリズムに対 し批判している声もある。 この論文の目標は塚本の作品の中で、柾悟郎の同じようにサイバー パンクのオリエンタリズム、いわゆる「テクノ・オリエンタリズム」 に対し批判している映画があるかどうかについて研究することである。 研究を進めるために、第一に、日本の最近の映画と国際映画祭につい て説明する必要がある。第二に、オリエンタリズムの定義をはじめ 「セルフ・オリエンタリズム」の現象を紹介し、多数な日本人の映画 -

Die Fragestellung ist hierbei, wie der menschliche Körper als Mittel zur Erzählung ver- wendet wird. Hierbei wird die These aufgestellt, dass die Körper der Hauptprotagonis- ten in Tsukamotos Filmen in unterschiedlicher Form als visuelle Erweiterung, sprich: als Projektionsfläche für innere Konflikte und Problemstellungen und stets auch für die nicht immer gelingende Lösung dieser Konflikte immanent sind bzw. wären. Metho- disch wird hierbei je nach Film entweder ganzheitlich die Handlung und die visuellen Ausdrucksformen analysiert und interpretiert oder auf einzelne Szenen detailliert einge- gangen.
