Automatic recognition of type of FEC codes in a robust environment by Khng, Qian Yu

“…Different classes of FEC codes exhibit unique characteristics due to their structural differences, thus novel methodologies were specifically developed for use in a classification framework to pick up on these features variances. Analyses of these features will allow an uninformed observer to reverse-engineer the encoder structure and subsequently decode the data. …”

SimSC: a simple framework for semantic correspondence with temperature learning by Li, X, Han, K, Wan, X, Prisacariu, VA

“…We discover that when fine-tuning ImageNet pre-trained backbone on the semantic matching task, L2 normalization of the feature map, a standard procedure in feature matching, produces an overly smooth matching distribution and significantly hinders the fine-tuning process. …”

Finite element analysis on post-buckling of thin-walled structures using ANSYS by Theint, Yi Mon

Field instrumentation for performance assessment of Geobarrier System by Rahardjo, Harianto, Qian, Zhai, Satyanaga, Alfrendo, Leong, Eng Choon, Wang, Chien Looi, Wong, Johnny Liang Heng

“…The saturated hydraulic conductivity of a coarse-grained material is normally higher than that of a fine-grained material. However, the unsaturated hydraulic conductivity of the coarse-grained material decreases much faster than that of the fine-grained material with increasing matric suction and consequently the coarse-grained material can be less permeable than the fine-grained material in unsaturated condition. …”

The inference-boundary model reinterpreting theme and rheme by Leong, Ping Alvin

“…The Hallidayan notions of theme and rheme pose an interesting challenge to linguists in their attempts to pin them down more specifically. This paper argues that since the thematic structure of the clause organises it as a message, a useful starting point in theme–rheme research is an understanding of how clausal messages are typically processed by language users. …”
