Paper Fast reconstruction of sparse relative impulse responses via second-order cone programming has been presented at WAASPA workshop, NY, USA. The paper Similarity graphs for the concealment of long duration data loss in music should be published soon! The paper Inpainting of Long Audio Segments With Similarity Graphs (title has been modified) has been published. We show that the synthesis version of the SPADE algorithm can be dramatically accelerated. Our paper Revisiting Synthesis Model in Sparse Audio Declipper has been accepted to the LVA/ICA 2018 conference (Surrey). The second project meeting is planned for October, it will be held in Brno. Since 1989 Merlin Development has provided high quality food product development and research services to the food industry. We are happy that five experts from abroad came to present at this event. The second project meeting was held at the Brno University of Technology, and we enjoyed two days of talks and discussion. Three papers has been submitted recently! Check the Publications page.

His traditions are deeply rooted in the Welsh landscape, not least in Carmarthen itself, whose name – Caerfyrddin – has long been interpreted as meaning ‘Myrddin’s Fortress’.

The project also aims to throw new light onto the development of Welsh poetry and the origins of the Merlin and Arthurian legends."ĭr Foster Evans and colleagues will tackle around a hundred poems totalling well over 4,000 lines. We are committed to making the corpus available to all in an accessible, digital format. “While a significant amount of poetry associated with Merlin survives in manuscripts, much of it is inaccessible – unedited and also lacking translations. The comparative aspects of the project will position the Welsh poems in a broader European context, affirm their interdisciplinary scope and relevance, and put them at the heart of international Arthurian studies. 1154/5), who was the first to bring the figures of Arthur and Merlin together. The new project will explore the relationship between the Welsh Merlin poems and broader Arthurian tradition, popularised throughout Europe by Geoffrey of Monmouth (d. There’s a lot of work ahead but we’ve got a passionate and talented team to make the journey.” It involves researchers from Cardiff University (including the School of Welsh’s Dr David Callander), the University of Wales Centre for Advanced Welsh and Celtic Studies, and Swansea University.ĭr Foster Evans said: “I’m thrilled to be leading this exciting new research project, delving deep into medieval literature and the Merlin legend. The project ( An Edition of the Welsh Merlin Poetry), which has received £716,013 in funding from the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC), will begin in March 2022. Dr Dylan Foster Evans, Head of Cardiff University’s School of Welsh, is set to lead a new three-year project to develop a digital edition and translation of Welsh poetry associated with Merlin - or ‘Myrddin’, as he is known in Welsh.
