From private entrepreneurship to state monopoly: contracting Swiss soldiers for Dutch Service under Ancien Régime Fiscal- Military Practices (1693–1829) by Depreter, M

“…This contribution examines Dutch contracting practices to hire Swiss troops during the Ancien Régime, from the first contracts directly negotiated in the Protestant cantons by Petrus Valckenier (1693-1694) during the Nine Years’ War, seizing opportunities arisen from Louis XIV’s revocation of the Edict of Nantes (1685) after a period during which the Dutch seem to have relied on uncertain access to Swiss manpower through French intercession, up to the end of a short-lived revival of Swiss foreign regiments in the newly-instated Kingdom of the Netherlands (1814-1829). …”

Remote sensing applications of machine learning processes: satellite imagery road extraction using few shot segmentation by Ong, Grace Hui Lee

“…However, there is a dearth of studies associated with applying few-shot segmentation onto road extraction tasks. Hence, in this project, two main models: i) U-Net, a popular model for binary segmentation, and ii) PFENet, a state-of-the-art few-shot segmentation model, are trained to learn a classifier to segment roads from non-roads, and tested on a set of data from unseen classes. …”
