Bella's empowerment - why the twilight saga is not anti-feminist. by See, Shawn Kai Sheng.

“…Meyer delineates how caught in between the fantastical world of these mythical arch-enemies, Bella, a weak and hapless human, successfully navigates and plots her own path such that by the end of the series supernatural hostilities are buried and Bella is able to create her very own happily ever after.…”

Fisher vector faces in the wild by Simonyan, K, Parkhi, O, Vedaldi, A, Zisserman, A

“…<br> This paper makes two contributions: first, and somewhat surprisingly, we show that Fisher vectors on densely sampled SIFT features, i.e. an off-the-shelf object recognition representation, are capable of achieving state-of-the-art face verification performance on the challenging “Labeled Faces in the Wild” benchmark; second, since Fisher vectors are very high dimensional, we show that a compact descriptor can be learnt from them using discriminative metric learning. …”

Heat dissipation in ball grid array packages by Ying, Teck Mun.

“…This thesis discusses the issue of thermal management in typical Ball Grid Array (BGA) packages. It aims to study the behavior of heat dissipation in a single BGA solder joint as well as multiple solder joints through the use of analytical, numerical and experimental techniques. …”

Towards robust monocular depth estimation in the wild by Zheng, Zhenkai

“…This research project aims to create a robust monocular depth estimation model that is capable of predicting accurate relative depth maps in the wild. The project will highlight the significance of the training dataset used during supervised model training by comparing models trained with our new mixed dataset in the wild with a common open-source dataset such as NYU. …”

Discriminative deep metric learning for face verification in the wild by Hu, Junlin, Lu, Jiwen, Tan, Yap Peng

“…This paper presents a new discriminative deep metric learning (DDML) method for face verification in the wild. Different from existing metric learning-based face verification methods which aim to learn a Mahalanobis distance metric to maximize the inter-class variations and minimize the intra-class variations, simultaneously, the proposed DDML trains a deep neural network which learns a set of hierarchical nonlinear transformations to project face pairs into the same feature subspace, under which the distance of each positive face pair is less than a smaller threshold and that of each negative pair is higher than a larger threshold, respectively, so that discriminative information can be exploited in the deep network. …”

Correlation-based estimation of cutting force coefficients for ball-end milling by Dhupia, Jaspreet Singh, Girsang, Irving P.

“…This proposed method has been validated by comparison of cutting force coefficients obtained using conventional estimation technique for a slot ball-end milling test. Besides being useful for predictive evaluation of forces, such estimation of cutting force coefficients of the cutting force model can be useful for understanding variations in cutting process over the tool life and can assist in online monitoring and process optimization.…”
