International audience; The last phase of the nineteenth-century China was in a state of dramatic political instability, caused both by foreign aggression and internal troubles. The fall of the Qing dynasty seemed more and more likely, and the presence of the foreign (people, goods, ideas) on the imperial soil aroused confl icting reactions: shame and pride, the desire to emulate and the desire to rekindle "traditional" culture(s), as well as the evidence of the necessity of rapid modernization, at least in the technical fi eld. Stretched between these overlapping poles, cinema as a technical development and as a new form of entertainment appeared very quickly as a formidable way to get to know the West, as well as a medium to be appropriated by local standards. Early movies made by the Lumière Company were travelling to China, and it was easy to understand the clamor made by the depiction of contemporary Europe. La sortie des usines Lumière à Lyon (August and Louis Lumière, 1895), for example, is a manifestation of a scientifi c accomplishment of the West (a movie) and at the same time is showing where this new object was made (the camera factory): spectators could see men and women coming out of a modern (soon to be Fordist) industry, some of them riding bicycles. In The Last Emperor (1987) Bertolucci poetizes the seduction of the newly imported (foreign) innovation of locomotion. Audiences could be in awe of the epitome of the industrialization of Europe via an astonishing product of this progress, the movie projector. This scientifi c curiosity is displayed as an attraction: movies are shown in theatres, tea houses, expositions, and slowly contribute to the shaping of the fast-growing eastern metropolis via the building of ad hoc modern cinema theatres. The local public showed a desire to appropriate the representational device, linking it to the shadow puppetry that they used to appreciate. The debate is still ongoing to clarify how much the cultural appreciation of puppet theatre has been a source of inspiration for the adoption of the term yingxi fi rst, and dianying later. The former merges the "shadow (ying)" with the "spectacle (xi)," and the latter is a word that conjures ideas of electricity (therefore modernity) and the theatrical/traditional visual apparatus. As Emi-lie Yueh-yu Yeh states, the fi rst fi lm magazine used the title The Motion Picture Review ; 1 yet, in an article published in the very same review, she cautions readers in remembering that "Central to these dominant historiographical discourses lies the yingxi concept and its literal English translation 'shadow play.' " Scholars of Chinese fi lm history, in both China and the West, have adopted the ideas of yingxi and its translated twin "shadow play" to frame the reception of cinema in late 15 MASTERPIECES OF EARLY CINEMA Corrado Neri 15031-1823d-1Pass-r03.indd 205

International audience; Most research in Information Extraction concentrates on the extraction of relations from texts but less work has been done about their organization after their extraction. We present in this article a multi-level clustering method to group semantically equivalent relations: a first step groups relation instances with similar expressions to form clusters with high precision; a second step groups these initial clusters into larger semantic clusters using more complex semantic similarities. Experiments demonstrate that our multi-level clustering not only improves the scalability of the method but also improves clustering results by exploiting redundancy in each initial cluster.

The history of the Egyptian language is both a linguistic and a cultural one. Considerable synchronic variation can be observed in the record, reflecting the various high-cultural and social settings and determinations of written performance in ancient Egypt at various times. Over the longue durée, Egyptian underwent a series of major typological changes, which, however, are only the overall results of a series of more minute changes following regular principles, paths, and mechanisms of linguistic change, such as grammaticalization. Current research is diverse: it strives for a more detailed description of linguistic change, concerns linguistic contacts with other languages, emphasizes the importance of synchronic variation of all sorts, and problematizes the partly discontinuous nature of the written record by which Egyptian, as a corpus language, presents itself.

International audience; The present work aims to develop a text summarisation system for financial texts with a focus on the fluidity of the target language. Linguistic analysis shows that the process of writing summaries should take into account not only terminological and collocational extraction, but also a range of linguistic material referred to here as the "support lexicon", that plays an important role in the cognitive organisation of the field. On this basis, this paper highlights the relevance of pre-training the CamemBERT model on a French financial dataset to extend its domainspecific vocabulary and fine-tuning it on extractive summarisation. We then evaluate the impact of textual data augmentation, improving the performance of our extractive text summarisation model by up to 6%-11%.

During the last two decades of the thirteenth Century, the practice of quodlibetal disputes by masters of theology spread out of the Paris University, most notably within franciscan provincial studia in southern France and Italy, where theology lecturers without a proper university degree would dispute de quolibet. Three such characters left a written record of such events : Peter John Olivi in Montpellier and Narbonne, Petrus de Trabibus in Florence and Vital du Four in Montpellier and Toulouse. These Quodlibets are presented here, together with contemporary parisian Quodlibets by franciscan masters, such as Richard de Menneville (Mediavilla), Petrus de Falco, some minor masters and the nine series ascribed to Raymond Rigaud, out of which some have probably been disputed in the Toulouse studium.; Au cours des deux dernières décennies du treizième siècle, la pratique des disputes quodlibétiques, lors desquelles les maîtres en théologie répondaient à des questions de toute sorte posées par l'auditoire, s'est diffusée hors de l'université parisienne. C'est notamment le cas des centres d'études franciscains du Midi et d'Italie où des lecteurs en théologie, dépourvus du grade de docteur, organisaient de telles sessions. Trois d'entre eux en ont laissé un témoignage écrit : Pierre de Jean Olivi à Montpellier et Narbonne, Pierre de Trabibus à Florence et Vital du Four à Montpellier et Toulouse. Ces Quodlibets sont présentés ici, parallèlement aux Quodlibets universitaires franciscains par Richard de Menneville (Mediavilla), Pierre de Falco, quelques maîtres mineurs et les neuf Quodlibets de Raymond Rigaud, dont certains ont probablement été disputés au studium de Toulouse.

Part 10: Interactive Posters; International audience; This submission describes the analysis of an evaluation of 155 teenagers (15–19 years old) who took part in a co-design session centred around how mobile technology might enhance their own experiences in a natural history museum. At the end, participants were required to make a word association to evaluate the session. An analysis of how teen participants responded to the design session was conducted using thematic analysis to show the different categories of adjectives used by participants in their evaluations. The goal for the evaluation was mainly to pilot the design session process and if teens enjoyed participating in it. We believe this is of interest to designers and cultural heritage professionals.

International audience; This chapter introduces several state of the art techniques that could help to make deep underwater archaeological photogrammetric surveys easier, faster, more accurate, and to provide more visually appealing representations in 2D and 3D for both experts and public. We detail how the 3D captured data is analysed and then represented using ontologies, and how this facilitates interdisciplinary interpretation and cooperation. Towards more automation, we present a new method that adopts a deep learning approach for the detection and the recognition of objects of interest, amphorae for example. In order to provide more readable, direct and clearer illustrations, we describe several techniques that generate different styles of sketches out of orthophotos developed using neural networks. In the same direction, we present the Non-Photorealistic Rendering (NPR) technique, which converts a 3D model into a more readable 2D representation that is more useful to communicate and simplifies the identification of objects of interest. Regarding public dissemination, we demonstrate how recent advances in virtual reality to provide an accurate, high resolution, amusing and appropriate visualization tool that offers the public the possibility to ‘visit’ an unreachable archaeological site. Finally, we conclude by introducing the plenoptic approach, a new promising technology that can change the future of the photogrammetry by making it easier and less time consuming and that allows a user to create a 3D model using only one camera shot. Here, we introduce the concepts, the developing process, and some results, which we obtained with underwater imaging.

International audience; The High Level Trigger (HLT) of the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider receives events which pass the LVL1 trigger at ~75 kHz and has to reduce the rate to ~200 Hz while retaining the most interesting physics. It is a software trigger and performs the reduction in two stages: the LVL2 trigger and the Event Filter (EF). At the heart of the HLT is the Steering software. To minimise processing time and data transfers it implements the novel event selection strategies of seeded, step-wise reconstruction and early rejection. The HLT is seeded by regions of interest identified at LVL1. These and the static configuration determine which algorithms are run to reconstruct event data and test the validity of trigger signatures. The decision to reject the event or continue is based on the valid signatures, taking into account pre-scale and pass-through. After the EF, event classification tags are assigned for streaming purposes. Several powerful new features for commissioning and operation have been added: comprehensive monitoring is now built in to the framework; for validation and debugging, reconstructed data can be written out; the steering is integrated with the new configuration (presented separately), and topological and global triggers have been added. This paper will present details of the final design and its implementation, the principles behind it, and the requirements and constraints it is subject to. The experience gained from technical runs with realistic trigger menus will be described.
