Race and Racial Identity: The [Other]s’ Face of Singapore by Jin, Mark Rong

“…Although race in Singapore is still heavily influenced by the state’s discourse, this paper hypothesizes that respondents still possess the ability to exercise agency and to engage in various mechanisms to negotiate their racial identity. The main themes of discussion in this paper would thus explore how they do so, namely, through (i) the construction of specific, varied racial narratives, (ii) the adjustment of behaviour, (iii) and the exercising of reflexivity in problematic race-related situations – before exploring some of the struggles that mixed-race individuals in particular face and how the access to certain forms of capital also allows them to better negotiate racial boundaries.…”

Search by image : clothing segmentation and retrieval by Shi, Ganyu

“…We divide our system into two main stages: 1) Segmentation: We segment the query image into individual clothing classes, and use them as regions of interest for subsequent retrieval. 2) Retrieval: For each of the clothing item, we use image retrieval techniques to fetch visually similar products. …”

Wilson loops and spherical branes by Astesiano, D, Bomans, P, Gautason, FF, Puletti, VGM, Nix, A

“…For d≠4, the resulting theories are non-conformal and correspondingly, the dual geometries do not possess an asymptotic AdS region. The main aim of this work is to compute the holographic Wilson loops by evaluating the partition function of a probe fundamental string and M2-brane in the dual geometry, focusing on the next-to-leading order. …”

Reconstruction from smaller cards by Groenland, C, Johnston, T, Scott, A, Tan, J

“…In 1957, Kelly showed that every tree with $n\ge3$ vertices can be reconstructed from its $(n-1)$-deck, and Giles strengthened this in 1976, proving that trees on at least 6 vertices can be reconstructed from their $(n-2)$-decks. Our main theorem states that trees are reconstructible from their $(n-r)$-decks for all $r\le n/{9}+o(n)$, making substantial progress towards a conjecture of N\'ydl from 1990. …”

Pose search: retrieving people using their pose by Ferrari, V, Marin-Jimenez, M, Zisserman, A

“…Shots can be retrieved either by querying on a single frame with the desired pose, or through a pose classifier trained from a set of pose examples. Our main contribution is an effective system for retrieving people based on their pose, and in particular we propose and investigate several pose descriptors which are person, clothing, background and lighting independent. …”

Quantifying behavior-based gender discrimination on collaborative platforms by Vásárhelyi, O, Vedres, B

“…We analyzed the extent of behavior-based gender discrimination on two digital platforms, GitHub and Behance, focused on software development and fine arts and design. We found that the main cause of women’s disadvantage in attention, success, and survival is largely due to the gender typicality of their behavior that varies between 60 and 90% of the total disadvantage of women. …”

Geometry of single axis motions using conic fitting by Jiang, G, Tsui, H-T, Quan, L, Zisserman, A

“…Previous algorithms for recovering 3D geometry from an uncalibrated image sequence of a single axis motion of unknown rotation angles are mainly based on the computation of two-view fundamental matrices and three-view trifocal tensors. …”
