Augmenting images of non-rigid scenes using point and curve correspondences by Bartoli, A, von Tunzelmann, E, Zisserman, A

“…Examples include the eyebrows or the lips when augmenting sequences of a face. Such deformations can be captured by tracking curves, but then point correspondences are not obtained directly due to the aperture problem. …”

Deep structured output learning for unconstrained text recognition by Jaderberg, M, Simonyan, K, Vedaldi, A, Zisserman, A

“…To test the generalisation of our model, we also perform experiments with random alpha-numeric strings to evaluate the method when no visual language model is applicable.…”

Elevated genetic risk for multiple sclerosis emerged in steppe pastoralist populations by Barrie, W, Yang, Y, Irving-Pease, EK, Attfield, KE, Scorrano, G, Jensen, LT, Armen, AP, Dimopoulos, EA, Stern, A, Refoyo-Martinez, A, Pearson, A, Ramsøe, A, Gaunitz, C, Demeter, F, Jørkov, MLS, Møller, SB, Springborg, B, Klassen, L, Hyldgård, IM, Wickmann, N, Vinner, L, Korneliussen, TS, Allentoft, ME, Sikora, M, Kristiansen, K, Rodriguez, S, Nielsen, R, Iversen, AKN, Lawson, DJ, Fugger, L, Willerslev, E

“…Although it is known that inherited risk for MS is located within or in close proximity to immune-related genes, it is unknown when, where and how this genetic risk originated. …”

Personalized prescription of ACEI/ARBs for hypertensive COVID-19 patients by Bertsimas, D, Borenstein, A, Mingardi, L, Nohadani, O, Orfanoudaki, A, Stellato, B, Wiberg, H, Sarin, P, Varelmann, DJ, Estrada, V, Macaya, C, Gil, IJN

“…We show that personalized recommendations can improve patient outcomes by 1.0% compared to the standard of care when applied to external populations. We develop an interactive interface for our algorithm, providing physicians with an actionable tool to easily assess treatment alternatives and inform clinical decisions. …”

Extractive separations of lithium isotopes with benzo-15-crown-5 and ionic liquids: a comparative study between stirred vessels and small channel contactors by Duan, C, Sun, S, Wang, H, Tarique, M, Tipper, E, Whitfield, T, Gilbert, MR, Angeli, P

“…An increase in residence time in the channels increased the extraction percentage but reduced the degree of lithium fractionation. When the ionic liquids were diluted with anisole, equilibrium was reached faster while the extraction percentage was not affected in stirred vessels. …”

Topography of social touching depends on emotional bonds between humans by Suvilehto, JT, Glerean, E, Dunbar, RIM, Hari, R, Nummenmaa, L

“…Across all tested cultures, the total bodily area where touching was allowed was linearly dependent (mean r2 = 0.54) on the emotional bond with the toucher, but independent of when that person was last encountered. Close acquaintances and family members were touched for more reasons than less familiar individuals. …”

Automation acceptance for sustainable digital daily life by Vrain, E, Wilson, C

“…Our findings reveal three key insights: 1) acceptance of automation varies across different phases of an activity, with planning aspects predominantly overridden and controlled by users; 2) when expectations, especially concerning the automation's usefulness during activity execution, were exceeded, participants reported strong positive feedback mechanisms; 3) automation acceptance occurred more frequently for the execution of mundane tasks involving household management. …”

Glass box and black box machine learning approaches to exploit compositional descriptors of molecules in drug discovery and aid the medicinal chemist by Robson, B, Cooper, R

“…There are now also AI methods emphasizing visibility and “explainability” (thus explainable AI or XAI) that could help when “compositional data” are used, but they often still start from seemingly arbitrary learned weights and lack familiar probabilistic measures based on observation and counting from the outset. …”

Effect of Co on twin formation and magnetic properties of Sm(Fe,Ti,V)12 alloys by Tozman, P, Hrkac, G, Patrick, CE, Staunton, JB, Saito, T, Sasaki, T, Ohkubo, T, Sepehri-Amin, H

“…Theoretical investigations showed that the critical grain size at which twin formation can be hindered by grain size reduction decreases when the stabilizer changes from V to Ti. This study shows that the alloy composition influences not only the intrinsic magnetic properties but also the twin formation energy and its grain size dependence, crucial for the design of SmFe₁₂-based permanent magnets.…”

Visual analytics for fine-grained text classification models and datasets by Battogtokh, M, Xing, Y, Davidescu, C, Abdul-Rahman, A, Luck, M, Borgo, R

“…The result of this collaboration is the development of SemLa, a novel Visual Analytics system tailored for 1) dissecting complex semantic structures in a dataset when it is spatialized in model embedding space, and 2) visualizing fine-grained nuances in the meaning of text samples to faithfully explain model reasoning. …”

Epistemic oppression and the concept of coercion in psychiatry by Faissner, M, Braun, E, Hempeler, C

“…We first demonstrate how patients may experience inferential inertia when communicating their experiences of coercion. …”

Object retrieval with large vocabularies and fast spatial matching by Philbin, J, Chum, O, Isard, M, Sivic, J, Zisserman, A

“…To further improve query performance, we add an efficient spatial verification stage to re-rank the results returned from our bag-of-words model and show that this consistently improves search quality, though by less of a margin when the visual vocabulary is large. We view this work as a promising step towards much larger, "web-scale" image corpora.…”

What Dicey forgot by Barber, NW

“…This chapter argues that Dicey’s rule of law becomes radically less attractive when it is divided from the community the law governs, and that a fuller understanding of the rule of law shows that the principle weighs against the imperial project.…”

Learning to count objects in images by Lempitsky, V, Zisserman, A

“…We focus on the practically-attractive case when the training images are annotated with dots (one dot per object). …”

The concept of accountability in AI ethics and governance by Lechterman, TM

“…Theories of accountability cannot ultimately tell us what substantive standards to account for, especially when norms are contested or still emerging. Nonetheless, formal mechanisms of accountability provide a way of diagnosing and discouraging egregious wrongdoing even in the absence of normative agreement. …”

Wreathing, discrete gauging, and non-invertible symmetries by Grimminger, JF, Harding, W, Mekareeya, N

“…We study the effects of ’t Hooft anomalies and non-invertible symmetries that arise from discrete gauging on the index. When the whole symmetry G is gauged, our results are in perfect agreement with a type of discrete operations on the quiver, known as wreathing, discussed in the literature. …”

The association between adverse childhood experiences and adult cardiac function in the UK Biobank by Quiroz, JC, Cooper, J, McCracken, C, Khanji, MY, Laranjo, L, Aung, N, Lee, AM, Simon, J, Murphy, T, Biasiolli, L, Piechnik, SK, Maurovich-Horvat, P, Petersen, SE, Raisi-Estabragh, Z

“…These findings suggest that dedicated efforts are needed to communicate the impact of ACEs on cardiovascular health to parents, patients, and clinicians and incorporate the discussion of ACEs when assessing cardiovascular risk.…”

ʿAbdallāh ʿAzzām and Palestine by Hegghammer, T

“…There, he hoped to build an Islamist army that could reconquer Palestine. When Ḥamās rose as a military organization in the late 1980s, ʿAzzām embraced and supported it. …”

Dual‐stoichiometry copper sulphide nanoparticles by laser ablation in DMSO: synthesis and biomedical applications for enhanced photothermal therapy and photoacoustic imaging by Taylan, U, Akçimen, S, Eş, I, Küçük, BN, Tekgül, EK, Çelebi, Ç, Kumru, Y, Köymen, H, Inci, F, Ortaç, B

“…On the other hand, while employed as a photoacoustic agent, they enhanced the contrast significantly and increased the brightness proportional to their concentrations when compared to ultrasound imaging. Additionally, the biocompatibility properties of these nanoparticles were tested with cancer cells, and they were subjected to laser ablation to assess their photothermal effects. …”

The formation and evolution of Earth’s inner core by Wilson, AJ, Davies, CJ, Walker, A, Pozzo, M, Alfé, D, Deuss, A

“…Mineral physics calculations suggest that a supercooling of at least 450 K is needed to nucleate the inner core, while inferences from geophysical observations constrain the maximum available supercooling to 420 K, and more likely <100 K when satisfying constraints on long-term core-mantle evolution. …”
