Community rooms at 'end of their life' to be revamped as council approves £800k funding
by Matthew EarthThe church hall in a Suffolk town is to be revamped for social use after more than £800,000 of funding was approved for the project.
In November's monthly Framlingham Town Council meeting, councillors unanimously passed two motions supporting redevelopment work at St Michael's Community Rooms, in the church grounds in Church Street.
St Michael's Community Rooms, which have served Framlingham as a social venue for 130 years, are in need of redevelopment - with council chairman Philip Collins describing them as at the "end of their life".
Following two years of discussions between the Parochial Church Council (PCC), who own the church hall, and Framlingham Town Council, the wheels have been set in motion for redevelopment work to proceed in the future.
Framlingham Town Council agreed to provide £70,000 of Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) funding for St Michael's Community Rooms, which the PCC will aim to match.
Additionally, the town council passed a motion supporting the allocation of £700,000 in CIL funding from East Suffolk Council for the project.
The church hall is currently widely-used by the Framlingham community and beyond, hosting activities such as fitness classes and art displays.
Mr Collins said: "The Community Rooms are in a good, central location for Framlingham in the heart of the town.
"The project being approved is good news for Framlingham and the surrounding areas.
"The life of the current building is now limited - it's beyond its sell-by date.
"If it closed without notice, there would be nowhere for our communities to meet."
Clive Eastwood, councillor for Framlingham, echoed Mr Collins' sentiments.
Mr Eastwood said: "This has been going for a long time. There is overwhelming support for the St Michael's Community Rooms project from the council.
"I'm delighted that the project is going ahead.
"The rooms will be used for meeting spaces and exhibitions. It will very much be a community project, and not just a church one."
Mr Eastwood said he hopes the redevelopment will commence within six to 12 months.

Towards Language Modelling in the Speech Domain Using Sub-word Lingustic Units.
In arXiv e-prints 2021.
Language models (LMs) for text data have been studied extensively for their usefulness in language generation and other downstream tasks. However, language modelling purely in the speech domain is still a relatively unexplored topic, with traditional speech LMs often depending on auxiliary text LMs for learning distributional aspects of the language. For the English language, these LMs treat words as atomic units, which presents inherent challenges to language modelling in the speech domain. In this paper, we propose a novel LSTM-based generative speech LM that is inspired by the CBOW model and built on linguistic units including syllables and phonemes. This offers better acoustic consistency across utterances in the dataset, as opposed to single melspectrogram frames, or whole words.  We show the effect of training with auxiliary text LMs, multitask learning objectives, and auxiliary articulatory features. Through our experiments, we also highlight some well known, but poorly documented challenges in training generative speech LMs, including the mismatch between the supervised learning objective with which these models are trained such as Mean Squared Error (MSE), and the true objective, which is speech quality. Our experiments provide an early indication that while validation loss and Mel Cepstral Distortion (MCD) are not strongly correlated with generated speech quality, traditional text language modelling metrics like perplexity and next-token-prediction accuracy might be.Practical Benefits of Feature Feedback Under Distribution Shift.
In arXiv e-prints 2021.
In attempts to develop sample-efficient algorithms, researcher have explored myriad mechanisms for collecting and exploiting feature feedback, auxiliary annotations provided for training (but not test) instances that highlight salient evidence. Examples include bounding boxes around objects and salient spans in text. Despite its intuitive appeal, feature feedback has not delivered significant gains in practical problems as assessed on iid holdout sets. However, recent works on counterfactually augmented data suggest an alternative benefit of supplemental annotations: lessening sensitivity to spurious patterns and consequently delivering gains in out-of-domain evaluations. Inspired by these findings, we hypothesize that while the numerous existing methods for incorporating feature feedback have delivered negligible in-sample gains, they may nevertheless generalize better out-of-domain. In experiments addressing sentiment analysis, we show that feature feedback methods perform significantly better on various natural out-of-domain datasets even absent differences on in-domain evaluation. By contrast, on natural language inference tasks, performance remains comparable. Finally, we compare those tasks where feature feedback does (and does not) help.

I'm going to participate to the 2015 CPAN Pull Request Challenge, an effort to make developers join the Perl community and contribute back some code.
The idea is simple and beautiful: each month you are assigned a random CPAN dist and have to inspect, study, read it and propose something (a pull request) to improve it. It could be a bug fixing, ticket issue, code optimization, documentation, and so on. Everything that can be accepted back from the original author.
I'm a little nervous: it has been a lot since I do not program day by day using Perl, but I'm quite happy to have the opportunity to learn something from the masters and, most notably, to contribute stuff back to this great community.
Let's see wat will happen!


161. Intuitionistic Logic

input: standard input
output: standard
output
Recently Vasya became acquainted with an interesting movement in
mathematics and logic called "intuitionism". The main idea of this movement
consists in the rejection of the law of excluded middle (the logical law stating
that any assertion is either true or false). Vasya liked this idea; he says:
"Classical mathematics says that Fermat Last Theorem is either true or false;
but this statement is completely useless for me until I see the proof or a
contrary instance". So Vasya became a born-again intuitionist. He tries to use
the intuitionistic logic in all his activities and especially in his scientific
work. But this logic is much more di+cult than the classical one. Vasya often
tries to use logical formulae that are valid in classical logic but aren't so in
the intuitionistic one.
Now he wants to write a program that will help him
to check the validity of his formulae automatically. He has found a book
describing how to do that but unfortunately he isn't good at programming, so
you'll have to help him.
The construction starts from an arbitrary acyclic
oriented graph X = <X, G>. Then a partial order is constructed on
X, the set of vertices of X: for any x, y in X we define x <= y iff
there exists a path (possibly of zero length) in X from x to y. Next,
consider the set B of all subsets of X and the set H in B consisting of all a in
X such that any two different x and y from R are incomparable (i.e. neither x
<= y nor y <= x). Note that H always contains the empty set and all
one-element subsets of X. Now it is possible to define a map Max : B -> H in
B. For any M in X we put Max(M) = {x in M : not exists y in M : x <> y, x
<= y} - the set of all maximal elements of M.
Next we define several
operations on H. For any a,b in H put a => b = {x in b : not exists y in a :
x <= y}, a /\ b = Max(a or b), a \/ b = Max({x in X: exists y in a, z in b: x
<= y, x <= z}), 0 = Max(X), 1 = empty set, not a = (a =>
0), a == b = ((a => b) /\ (b => a)).
Now consider logical
formulae consisting of the following symbols:
* Constants
1 and 0;
* Variables - capital letters from A to
Z;
* Parentheses - if E is a formula, then (E) is another;
* Negation - not E is a formula for any formula E;
* Conjunction - E1 /\ E2 /\ ... /\ En. Note that the conjunction
is evaluated from left to right: E1 /\ E2 /\ E3 = (E1 /\ E2) /\ E3.
* Disjunction - E1 \/ E2 \/ ... \/ En. The same remark applies.
* Implication - E1 => E2. Unlike the previous two operations
it is evaluated from right to left: E1 => E2 => E3 means E1 => (E2
=> E3).
* Equivalence - E1 == E2 == ... == En. This
expression is equal to (E1 == E2) /\ (E2 == E3) /\ ... /\ (En-1 => En).
The operations are listed from the highest priority to the lowest.
A
formula E is called valid (in the model defined by X) if after
substitution of arbitrary elements of H for the variables involved in E it
evaluates to 1; otherwise it is called invalid.
Your task is to
determine for a given graph X, which formulae from a given set are valid
and which invalid.
Input
The first line contains two integers N and M separated by a
single space - the number of vertices (1 <= N <= 100) and edges (0 <= M
<= 5000) of X. The next M lines contain two integers si and ti each -
the beginning and the end of i-th edge respectively. The next line contains K (1
<= K <= 20) - the number of formulae to be processed. The following K
lines contain one formula each. A formula is represented by a string consisting
of tokens 0, 1, A, ..., Z, (, ), ~, &, |, =>, =. The last five tokens
stand for not, /\, \/, => and == respectively. Tokens can be separated by an
arbitrary number of spaces. No line will be longer than 254 characters. All
formulae in the file will be syntactically correct. Also you may assume that the
number D = |H| of elements of H doesn't exceed 100 and that Sum(Di) <= 10^6.
Output
The output file must contain K lines - one line for each
formula. Write to the j-th line of output either valid or invalid.
