GES: generalized exponential splatting for efficient radiance field rendering by Hamdi, A, Melas-Kyriazi, L, Mai, J, Qian, G, Liu, R, Vondrick, C, Ghanem, B, Vedaldi, A

“…This paper introduces GES (Generalized Exponential Splatting), a novel representation that employs Generalized Exponential Function (GEF) to model 3D scenes, requiring far fewer particles to represent a scene and thus significantly outperforming Gaussian Splatting methods in efficiency with a plug-and-play replacement ability for Gaussian-based utilities. …”

Police institutions and police abuse: evidence from the US by Rad, AN

“…Situating itself on the intersection between public-sector union, special interest group, American politics, and criminology literature, this thesis argues that police union mechanisms, specifically police protections, can explain variation in police abuse. The study employs an originally constructed index of police protections comprised of police union contract and Law Enforcement Officer Bill of Rights (LEOBR) provisions. …”
