The metaphysics of opacity by Diehl, C, Mount, BM

“…The stuff ontology we propose takes stuff to be fundamental and views the world as composed of an infinite descending hierarchy of kinds and portions of stuff. …”

Kindergarden quantum mechanics graduates ...or how I learned to stop gluing LEGO together and love the ZX-calculus by Coecke, B, Horsman, D, Kissinger, A, Wang, Q

“…In other words, was this new approach capable of producing new results, or was it simply an aesthetically pleasing way to restate stuff we already know? The aim of this sequel paper is to say ‘here's the beef!’…”

Weakly- and semi-supervised panoptic segmentation by Li, Q, Arnab, A, Torr, P

“…Moreover, we are able to segment both “thing” and “stuff” classes, and thus explain all the pixels in the image. …”

Unifying training and inference for panoptic segmentation by Li, Q, Qi, X, Torr, PHS

“…This panoptic submodule gives rise to a novel propagation mechanism for panoptic logits and enables the network to output a coherent panoptic segmentation map for both "stuff" and "thing" classes, without any post-processing. …”

The matter of dust in Renaissance literature by Neanon, C

“…</p> <p>The intention thereby is to provide a study of the paradoxes of dust – barely visible yet ubiquitous, the least of substances and yet the stuff of which man is made – revealing new perspectives on the interactions of literature, theology, and natural philosophy in the early modern period, unearthing the complex yet generative semantic textures from the mundane and minimal matter of dust.…”

Goodman, solipsism, and immaterialism by Westerhoff, JC

“…Open peer commentary on the article “A Defence of Starmaking Constructivism: The Problem of Stuff” by Bin Liu. Abstract: I consider two problems arising in the context of Goodmanian constructivism as discussed by Bin Liu: the question of solipsism and the status of immaterial minds.…”

Muddy poetics: First World War poems by Helen Saunders and Mary Borden by McLoughlin, K

“…Blurring the boundaries between combatant and non-combatant, it serves as the inspiration for and the stuff of female creativity. It also reveals the possibilities of a critical thinking with muddiness which productively resists reductive dichotomies.…”

‘Whether any material being thinks, or no’: Leibniz’s critique of Locke on superaddition by Lodge, P

“…The mill argument aims to show that matter conceived as passive extended stuff cannot think through its natural powers. This is something Locke is happy to accept, noting explicitly at ECHU 4.3.6: “matter …is evidently in its own nature void of sense and thought”. …”

A meiotic mystery: How sister kinetochores avoid being pulled in opposite directions during the first division. by Nasmyth, K

“…How then does the amount of this mysterious stuff not multiply exponentially from generation to generation? …”

Jorge Semprún and the Languages of Democracy by Lonsdale, L

“…<p style="text-align:justify;">In Semprún's writing, the translated text is the image par excellence of layered contexts, displaced origins, transferable but not wholly assimilable truths, that the author takes from the experience of exile and makes the stuff of his political and aesthetic vision. The formulation of the reader as ‘mon semblable, mon frère’ makes the act of translation one of ‘courtoisie’ and inclusion, especially resonant in relation to fraternity as a core ethical and human value. …”

Open vocabulary semantic segmentation with Patch Aligned Contrastive Learning by Mukhoti, J, Lin, T-Y, Poursaeed, O, Wang, R, Shah, A, Torr, PHS, Lim, S-N

“…Using pre-trained CLIP encoders with PACL, we are able to set the state-of-the-art on the task of open vocabulary zero-shot segmentation on 4 different segmentation benchmarks: Pascal VOC, Pascal Context, COCO Stuff and ADE20K. Furthermore, we show that PACL is also applicable to image-level predictions and when used with a CLIP backbone, provides a general improvement in zero-shot classification accuracy compared to CLIP, across a suite of 12 image classification datasets.…”

Catalogue of bias: novelty bias by Luo, Y, Heneghan, C, Persaud, N

“…Selective outcome reporting bias can also be a critical reason for novelty bias.5 6 Positive result bias7 (eg, positive results of a treatment are selectively reported when it is new and less selectively reported later), confirmation bias8 (eg, only the evidence supporting the new treatments is gathered while the others are disregarded) and hot stuff bias9 (eg, researchers may be keen to confirm the positive findings regarding a new and hot topic rather than falsifying them) are examples of selective reporting bias. …”
