Face recognition in unconstrained images and videos by Nguyen, Bich Hoang Anh

“…By leveraging the pose angle information, we employ a divide and conquer approach through the following steps (a) divide the keyframes of the original video into several pose categories from extreme left to right profile face and synthesize the appearance at all missing poses (b) propose the ensemble cross-pose classifiers to recognize human faces despite pose differences by cross reference the subset of the original training data with the same pose categories. …”

Does death penalty have a deterrent effect on homicides? by Du, Shangzhu, Sheng, Chao, Wen, Shaoyi

“…This paper aims at examining the significance of deterrent effects of death penalty, taking into consideration country-specific economic climates, in order to provide policy makers with meaningful insights so as to make better-informed decisions. In this paper, we employ detailed information of death penalty and its executions in 50 U.S. states and 49 other countries in years 1995-2012 to conduct OLS and 2SLS regression analysis. …”

Magical realism and representations of the cold war in Southeast Asia by Lye, Kit Ying

“…However, while there are acknowledgements by scholars that religious myths and pre-existing animistic beliefs continue to influence the way that the indigenous people understand their worlds, Southeast Asian authors (unlike many of their postcolonial peers), do not actively employ magical realism in their exploration of history and civil unrest in their writings, and when they do, are not employed to the same degree as postcolonial authors in other regions. …”

Best of both worlds : hybrid identities of mixed-race individuals in Singapore by Lim, Tricia Anna.

“…The major themes of this study are (a) the centrality of race as part of their constructions of self-identity, (b) their constant need to take positions vis-à-vis inquiries about “what they are”, due to their ambiguous phenotype, (c) the cultural capital that mixed-race individuals construct to make choices when navigating various social situations, and (d) the strategies that these individuals employ to resist being placed in defined racial categories. …”

To bail-out or to bail-in? Answers from an agent-based model by Klimek, P, Poledna, S, Farmer, JD, Thurner, S

“…The question of how to resolve failing financial institutions, and how this depends on economic preconditions, is therefore a pressing and controversial issue of vast political importance. In this work we employ an agent-based model to study the economic and financial ramifications of three highly relevant crisis resolution mechanisms. …”

NeuralFloors++: consistent street-level scene generation from BEV semantic maps by Musat, V, De Martini, D, Gadd, M, Newman, P

“…Our model relies on Bird’s Eye View (BEV) representations due to their compositionality and scene content control capabilities, reducing the need for traditional simulators. We employ a two-stage process: first, a 3D scene representation is extracted from BEV semantic, instance and style maps using a neural field. …”

Finite element methods for multicomponent convection-diffusion by Aznaran, FRA, Farrell, PE, Monroe, CW, Van-Brunt, AJ

“…To resolve these competing goals, we employ two augmentations: the first enforces the definition of mass-average velocity in the OSM equations, while its dual modifies the Stokes momentum equation to enforce symmetry. …”

Brokers and informed traders: dealing with toxic flow and extracting trading signals by Cartea, A, Sánchez-Betancourt, L

“…We demonstrate the efficacy of the trading strategy of the broker in several scenarios and perform robustness analysis against misspecification of model parameters. We employ simulations to conclude that the strategy we derived outperforms current market practices.…”

Epistemic oppression and the concept of coercion in psychiatry by Faissner, M, Braun, E, Hempeler, C

“…Psychiatric staff primarily employ the concept as referring to instances of formal coercion regulated by law, such as involuntary hospital admission or treatment. …”

High five: recognising human interactions in TV shows by Patron-Perez, A, Marszalek, M, Zisserman, AP, Reid, ID

“…Using head orientation mitigates camera view ambiguities, while the local context, comprised of histograms of gradients and motion, aims to capture cues such as hand and arm movement. We also employ structured learning to capture spatial relationships between interacting individuals. …”

A soccer-based intervention improves incarcerated individuals’ behaviour and public acceptance through group bonding by Newson, M, Peitz, L, Cunliffe, J, Whitehouse, H

“…As law-abiding behaviour also requires a supportive receiving community, we assessed factors influencing willingness to employ formerly incarcerated people in online samples in the United Kingdom and the United States (studies 4–9, n = 1,797). …”

Real-time chiral dynamics at finite temperature from quantum simulation by Ikeda, Kazuki, Kang, Zhong-Bo, Kharzeev, Dmitri E., Qian, Wenyang, Zhao, Fanyi

“…The Hamiltonian is modified to include the time-dependent chiral chemical potential, thus allowing the investigation of the CME within a quantum computing framework. We employ the quantum imaginary time evolution (QITE) algorithm to study the thermal states, and utilize the Suzuki-Trotter decomposition for the real-time evolution. …”
