Structural inequality and the protectorate of discrimination law by Laborde, C

Sensory, motor, and emotion associations for landscape concepts differ across neighbouring speech communities by Striedl, P, Majid, A, Purves, RS

“…A long-standing debate centres around our mental representation of landscape: is it experienced in largely the same way across all humans or is it shaped to some extent by cultural and linguistic experience? …”

Exploring small-scale optimization coupling learning approaches for enterprises’ financial health forecasts by Zhu, L, Zhang, Z, Crabbe, MJC

Rereading Jhumpa Lahiri by Dasgupta, U

“…Her oeuvre shows, to striking effect, the value of repeat encounters with literature; at the same time, it explores the ways in which rereading can bring a range of cultural and ontological debates to light. …”

Historicising Keats’ opium imagery through Neoclassical medical and literary discourses by Cox, O

“…The essay historicises opium’s known effects as “medicine”—that opium induces indolence, stupor, insensibility, drowsiness, dulling, lulling, forgetfulness and, principally, alleviates pain—and shows that in both medical and literary discourses the diction used in opium imagery was the same. The essay contends that John Keats, along with many of his post-1780s contemporaries, drew on the neoclassical tradition in their use of opium imagery, rejecting the Brunonian theory of stimulation later embraced by Thomas De Quincey.…”

Better late than never: sleep still supports memory consolidation after prolonged periods of wakefulness by Petzka, M, Zika, O, Staresina, BP, Cairney, SA

“…While the benefits of sleep for associative memory are well established, it is unclear whether single-item memories profit from overnight consolidation to the same extent. We addressed this question in a preregistered, online study and also investigated how the temporal proximity between learning and sleep influences overnight retention. …”

It's just another day: unique video Captioning by Discriminative Prompting by Perrett, T, Han, T, Damen, D, Zisserman, A

“…In this paper, we formulate the problem of unique captioning: Given multiple clips with the same caption, we generate a new caption for each clip that uniquely identifies it. …”

Viewpoint invariant texture matching and wide baseline stereo by Schaffalitzky, F, Zisserman, A

“…Two texture matching applications of this descriptor are demonstrated: (1) it is used to automatically identify, regions of the same type of texture, but with varying surface pose, within a single image; (2) it is used to support wide baseline stereo, i.e. to enable the automatic computation of the epipolar geometry between two images acquired from quite separated viewpoints. …”

Accuracy and stability of CUR decompositions with oversampling by Park, T, Nakatsukasa, Y

“…When the number of columns and the rows are the same, the CUR decomposition can become unstable and less accurate due to the presence of the matrix inverse in the core matrix. …”

Automated scene matching in movies by Schaffalitzky, F, Zisserman, A

“…<p>We describe progress in matching shots which are images of the same 3D scene in a film. The problem is hard because the camera viewpoint may change substantially between shots, with consequent changes in the imaged appearance of the scene due to foreshortening, scale changes and partial occlusion.…”

The theoretical direct-band-gap optical gain of Germanium nanowires by Xiong, Wen, Wang, Jian-Wei, Fan, Weijun, Song, Zhigang, Tan, Chuan Seng

“…Based on the electronic structures, the density of states of Germanium nanowires are also obtained, and we find that the conduction band density of states mostly come from the electron states at the L-valley because of the eight equivalent degenerate L points in Germanium. …”

Exploring semantic information for deep image aesthetics assessment by Hou, Jingwen

“…In the third work, we further discuss how we can exploit personalized content preferences from features describing general semantic information of images when personal rating profiles are available. Finally, we come to a conclusion based on what we have investigated.…”
