Why am I racist? A study on the prediction of race categorization performance on implicit racial biases among Singapore Chinese preschoolers by Koh, Jin Yi

“…Stronger implicit racial biases were also found to be related to higher accuracy in categorizing own-race Chinese faces rather than other-race Indian faces, which is posited to be due to early childhood experience that consists of predominantly own-race Chinese individuals. Past research suggests that by altering this exposure and providing training during early childhood are effective methods in reducing implicit bias. …”

Spalling detection via deep transfer network by Wu, Ruida

“…Due to the fast development of artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies, especially in applications of deep learning in computer vision, structural damage recognition could rely on such knowledge because such problem is indeed a repetitive work which requires learning knowledge from past experience. In this project, we will apply technologies related to knowledge transfer to develop a model that does spall recognition on images taken by Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) with high accuracy. …”
