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. …”

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. …”

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
