uCAP: an unsupervised prompting method for vision-language models by Nguyen, AT, Tai, KS, Chen, BC, Shukla, SN, Yu, H, Torr, P, Tian, TP, Lim, SN

“…In particular, prompts for vision-language models are domain-level texts (e.g., “a centered satellite image of ...”) which, together with the class names, are fed into the text encoder to provide more context for the downstream dataset. …”

Anthropomorphism and socialization in smart urban mobility: insights from human-autonomous vehicle interaction by Wu, Min

“…By understanding the nuanced effects of anthropomorphism and socialization across public attitudes, vehicle-pedestrian interactions, and in-vehicle experiences, this research provides key insights into designing anthropomorphic and socially compatible features in autonomous vehicles. These secure, user-centered designs can foster trust, engagement, user intention, and self-accountability, thereby aiding the evolution of future urban mobility systems.…”

Modeling pedestrian activity in cities with urban network analysis by Sevtsuk, Andres, Kalvo, Raul

“…The global climate-change crisis, along with public health and economic competitiveness challenges in cities around the world have underscored the need for analytic tools to examine the relationship between city design and sustainable mobility. Car-centered travel demand models and land-use-transportation interaction models have historically analyzed zone-to-zone trips along major roadways, largely omitting pedestrian and bicycle trips and creating a gap in the ability for planners and urban designers to systematically assess non-motorized outcomes of development interventions. …”
