Skeleton-based online action prediction using scale selection network by Liu, Jun, Shahroudy, Amir, Wang, Gang, Duan, Ling-Yu, Kot, Alex C.

“…A dilated convolutional network is introduced to model the motion dynamics in temporal dimension via a sliding window over the temporal axis. Since there are significant temporal scale variations in the observed part of the ongoing action at different time steps, a novel window scale selection method is proposed to make our network focus on the performed part of the ongoing action and try to suppress the possible incoming interference from the previous actions at each step. …”

Probability-Based Design of Reinforced Rock Slopes Using Coupled FORM and Monte Carlo Methods by Low, Bak K., Boon, Chia W.

“…Two cases of 3D reinforced blocks (pentahedral and tetrahedral, respectively) with the possibility of multiple sliding modes are investigated. In the case of the reinforced pentahedral block, direct MCS shows that there is only one dominant failure mode, for which the efficient method of importance sampling at the FORM design point provides fast verification of the revised design. …”
