CountGD: multi-modal open-world counting by Amini-Naieni, N, Han, T, Zisserman, A

“…We make three contributions: first, we introduce the first open-world counting model, COUNTGD, where the prompt can be specified by a text description or visual exemplars or both; second, we show that the performance of the model significantly improves the state of the art on multiple counting benchmarks – when using text only, COUNTGD is comparable to or outperforms all previous text-only works, and when using both text and visual exemplars, we outperform all previous models; third, we carry out a preliminary study into different interactions between the text and visual exemplar prompts, including the cases where they reinforce each other and where one restricts the other. …”

Spin structures and AdS4 holography by Bobev, N, Bomans, P

“…There are, however, orbifold actions that allow for more than one spin structure with preserved Killing spinors. In these cases the two different spin structures should lead to distinct holographically dual 3d SCFTs with different amounts of supersymmetry. …”

Review of the aetiologies of central nervous system infections in Vietnam by Brindle, HE, Choisy, M, Christley, R, French, N, Griffiths, M, Thai, PQ, van Doorn, HR, Nadjm, B

“…However, the cause remains unknown in a large proportion of cases. Although a systematic review of the aetiologies of CNS infections was conducted in the Mekong region, there are no known published reviews of the studies specifically in Vietnam. …”

Resolving ambiguities in autocalibration by Zisserman, A, Liebowitz, D, Armstrong, M

“…Four types of constraint are analyzed, and the conditions under which the ambiguity is not resolved are given. The constraint cases are (i) perpendicular image axes (the zero–skew constraint); (ii) the specified image aspect ratio; (iii) the specified image principal point; and, (iv) the perpendicularity of scene features.…”

The truth about cats and dogs by Parkhi, O, Vedaldi, A, Jawahar, C, Zisserman, A

“…Template-based object detectors such as the deformable parts model of Felzenszwalb et al. [11] achieve state-of-the-art performance for a variety of object categories, but are still outperformed by simpler bag-of-words models for highly flexible objects such as cats and dogs. In these cases we propose to use the template-based model to detect a distinctive part for the class, followed by detecting the rest of the object via segmentation on image specific information learnt from that part. …”

Scene classification via pLSA by Bosch, A, Zisserman, A, Muñoz, X

“…Classification performance is compared to the supervised approaches of Vogel & Schiele [19] and Oliva & Torralba [11], and the semi-supervised approach of Fei Fei & Perona [3] using their own datasets and testing protocols. In all cases the combination of (unsupervised) pLSA followed by (supervised) nearest neighbour classification achieves superior results. …”

The trembling-hand problem for LTLf planning by Yu, P, Zhu, S, De Giacomo, G, Vardi, M

“…Consider an agent acting to achieve its temporal goal, but with a "trembling hand". In this case, the agent may mistakenly instruct, with a certain (typically small) probability, actions that are not intended due to faults or imprecision in its action selection mechanism, thereby leading to possible goal failure. …”

Fisher-Rao gradient flow: geodesic convexity and functional inequalities by Carrillo, JA, Chen, Y, Huang, DZ, Huang, J, Wei, D

“…Such dynamics take the form of a nonlocal differential equation, for which existing analysis critically relies on using the explicit solution formula in special cases. We provide a comprehensive study on functional inequalities and the relevant geodesic convexity for Fisher-Rao gradient flows under minimal assumptions. …”
