description: Robust face clustering is a vital step in enabling computational understanding of visual character portrayal in media. Face clustering for long-form content is challenging because of variations in appearance and lack of supporting large-scale labeled data. Our work in this paper focuses on two key aspects of this problem: the lack of domain-specific training or benchmark datasets, and adapting face embeddings learned on web images to long-form content, specifically movies. First, we present a dataset of over 169,000 face tracks curated from 240 Hollywood movies with weak labels on whether a pair of face tracks belong to the same or a different character. We propose an offline algorithm based on nearest-neighbor search in the embedding space to mine hard-examples from these tracks. We then investigate triplet-loss and multiview correlation-based methods for adapting face embeddings to hard-examples. Our experimental results highlight the usefulness of weakly labeled data for domain-specific feature adaptation. Overall, we find that multiview correlation-based adaptation yields more discriminative and robust face embeddings. Its performance on downstream face verification and clustering tasks is comparable to that of the state-of-the-art results in this domain. We also present the SAIL-Movie Character Benchmark corpus developed to augment existing benchmarks. It consists of racially diverse actors and provides face-quality labels for subsequent error analysis. We hope that the large-scale datasets developed in this work can further advance automatic character labeling in videos. All resources are available freely at https://sail.usc.edu/~ccmi/multiface.

description: It is essential to understand the personal, behavioral, environmental, and other factors that correlate with optimal hearing aid fitting and hearing aid users' experiences in order to improve hearing loss patient satisfaction and quality of life, as well as reduce societal and financial burdens. This work proposes a novel framework that uses Encoder-decoder with attention mechanism (attn-ED) for predicting future hearing aid usage and SHAP to explain the factors contributing to this prediction. It has been demonstrated in experiments that attn-ED performs well at predicting future hearing aid usage, and that SHAP can be utilized to calculate the contribution of different factors affecting hearing aid usage. This framework aims to establish confidence that AI models can be utilized in the medical domain with the use of XAI methods. Moreover, the proposed framework can also assist clinicians in determining the nature of interventions.

description: We perform a fully quantum mechanical numerical calculation for the problem of a single electron (or excitation) propagating in a N-site one-dimensional chain in the presence of a single Holstein impurity. We compute the long-time averaged probability for finding the electron on the impurity site as a function of the nonlinearity parameter, defined in terms of the electron-phonon coupling strength and the oscillator frequency. The results, in the intermediate nonlinearity parameter range, differ substantially from the ones obtained through the use of the discrete nonlinear Schroedinger equation, even in the high-frequency regime.

However this contribution is neglected by the reconstruction algorithms of imaging air Cherenkov telescopes IACTs and wide-angle Cherenkov detectors WACDs. In this paper we evaluate the fluorescence contamination in the Cherenkov signals from MC simulations in both kinds of Cherenkov telescopes and for some typical observational situations. Results for an observation level of 2200 m a.s.l. are shown. In addition, the feasibility and capabilities of IACTs working as fluorescence telescopes are discussed with the assistance of some geometrical calculations.

description: We propose an uncertainty relation of space-time. This relation is characterized by GhT \lesssim δV, where T and δV denote a characteristic time scale and a spatial volume, respectively. Using this uncertainty relation, we give qualitative estimations for the entropies of a black hole and our universe. We obtain qualitative agreements with the known results. The holographic principle of 't Hooft and Susskind is reproduced. We also discuss cosmology and give a relation to the cosmic holographic principle of Fischler and Susskind. However, as for the maximal entropy of a system with an energy E, we obtain the formula \sqrt{EV/Gh^2}, with V denoting the volume of the system, which is distinct from the Bekenstein entropy formula ER/h with R denoting the length scale of the system.

description: Important characteristics of the loop approach to quantum gravity are a specific choice of the algebra A of observables and of a representation of A on a measure space over the space of generalized connections. This representation is singled out by its elegance and diffeomorphism covariance. Recently, in the context of the quest for semiclassical states, states of the theory in which the quantum gravitational field is close to some classical geometry, it was realized that it might also be worthwhile to study different representations of the algebra A of observables. The content of the present note is the observation that under some mild assumptions, the mathematical structure of representations of A can be analyzed rather effortlessly, to a certain extent: Each representation can be labeled by sets of functions and measures on the space of (generalized) connections that fulfill certain conditions. These considerations are however mostly of mathematical nature. Their physical content remains to be clarified, and physically interesting examples are yet to be constructed.

description: We study the relationship between two notions of pattern avoidance for involutions in the symmetric group and their restriction to fixed-point-free involutions. The first is classical, while the second appears in the geometry of certain spherical varieties and generalizes the notion of pattern avoidance for perfect matchings studied by Jelínek. The first notion can always be expressed in terms of the second, and we give an effective algorithm to do so. We also give partial results characterizing the families of involutions where the converse holds. As a consequence, we prove two conjectures of McGovern characterizing (rational) smoothness of certain varieties. We also give new enumerative results, and conclude by proposing several lines of inquiry that extend our current work.

description: The dynamical symmetries of hot and electrically neutral plasmas in a highly conducting medium suggest that, after the epoch of the electron-positron annihilation, magnetohydrodynamical configurations carrying a net magnetic helicity can be present. The simultaneous conservation of the magnetic flux and helicity implies that the (divergence free) field lines will possess inhomogeneous knot structures acting as source seeds in the evolution equations of the scalar, vector and tensor fluctuations of the background geometry. We give explicit examples of magnetic knot configurations with finite energy and we compute the induced metric fluctuations. Since magnetic knots are (conformally) coupled to gravity via the vertex dictated by the equivalence principle, they can imprint spikes in the gravitational wave spectrum for frequencies compatible with the typical scale of the knot corresponding, in our examples, to a present frequency range of $10^{-11}$--$10^{-12}$ Hertz. At lower frequencies the spectrum is power-suppressed and well below the COBE limit. For smaller length scales (i.e. for larger frequencies) the spectrum is exponentially suppressed and then irrelevant for the pulsar bounds. Depending upon the number of knots of the configuration, the typical amplitude of the gravitational wave logarithmic energy spectrum (in critical units) can be even four orders of magnitude larger than the usual flat (inflationary) energy spectrum generated thanks to the parametric amplification of the vacuum fluctuations.

description: A large class of quintessential inflationary models, recently proposed by Peebles and Vilenkin, leads to post-inflationary phases whose effective equation of state is stiffer than radiation. The expected gravitational waves logarithmic energy spectra are tilted towards high frequencies and characterized by two parameters: the inflationary curvature scale at which the transition to the stiff phase occurs and the number of (non conformally coupled) scalar degrees of freedom whose decay into fermions triggers the onset of a gravitational reheating of the Universe. Depending upon the parameters of the model and upon the different inflationary dynamics (prior to the onset of the stiff evolution) the relic gravitons energy density can be much more sizeable than in standard inflationary models, for frequencies larger than 1 Hz. We estimate the required sensitivity for detection of the predicted spectral amplitude and show that the allowed region of our parameter space leads to a signal smaller (by one 1.5 orders of magnitude) than the advanced LIGO sensitivity at a frequency of 0.1 KHz. The maximal signal, in our context, is expected in the GHz region where the energy density of relic gravitons in critical units (i.e. $h_0^2 Ω_{GW}$) is of the order of $10^{-6}$, roughly eight orders of magnitude larger than in ordinary inflationary models. Smaller detectors (not necessarily interferometers) can be relevant for detection purposes in the GHz frequency window. We suggest/speculate that future measurements through microwave cavities can offer interesting perspectives.

description: Quantification of predictive uncertainty in hydrological modelling is often made by post-processing point hydrological predictions using regression models. We perform an extensive comparison of machine learning algorithms in obtaining quantile predictions of daily streamflow under this specific approach. The comparison is performed using a large amount of real-world data retrieved from the Catchment Attributes and MEteorology for Large sample Studies (CAMELS) dataset. Various climate types are well-represented by the examined catchments. The point predictions are obtained using the GR4J model, a lumped conceptual hydrological model comprising of four parameters, while their post-processing is made by predicting conditional quantiles of the hydrological model’s errors. The latter are transformed to conditional quantiles of daily streamflow and finally assessed by using various performance metrics. The machine learning regression algorithms are also benchmarked against the quantile regression algorithm.

description: With the advent of location-based social networks, users can tag their daily activities in different locations through check-ins. These check-in locations signify user preferences for various socio-spatial activities and can be used to build their profiles to improve the quality of services in some applications such as recommendation systems, advertising, and group formation. To support such applications, in this paper, we formulate a new problem of identifying top-k Socio-Spatial co-engaged Location Selection (SSLS) for users in a social graph, that selects the best set of k locations from a large number of location candidates relating to the user and her friends. The selected locations should be (i) spatially and socially relevant to the user and her friends, and (ii) diversified in both spatially and socially to maximize the coverage of friends in the spatial space. This problem has been proved as NP-hard. To address the challenging problem, we first develop a branch-and-bound based Exact solution by designing some pruning strategies based on the derived bounds on diversity. To make the solution scalable for large datasets, we also develop an approximate solution by deriving the relaxed bounds and advanced termination rules to filter out insignificant intermediate results. To further accelerate the efficiency, we present one fast exact approach and a meta-heuristic approximate approach by avoiding the repeated computation of diversity at the running time. Finally, we have performed extensive experiments to evaluate the performance of our proposed models and algorithms against the adapted existing methods using four real-world large datasets.

description: Hypothalamic neurons expressing the anorectic peptide Pro-opiomelanocortin (Pomc) regulate food intake and body weight. Here, we show that Steroid Receptor Coactivator-1 (SRC-1) interacts with a target of leptin receptor activation, phosphorylated STAT3, to potentiate Pomc transcription. Deletion of SRC-1 in Pomc neurons in mice attenuates their depolarization by leptin, decreases Pomc expression and increases food intake leading to high-fat diet-induced obesity. In humans, fifteen rare heterozygous variants in SRC-1 found in severely obese individuals impairs leptin-mediated Pomc reporter activity in cells, whilst four variants found in non-obese controls do not. In a knock-in mouse model of a loss of function human variant (SRC-1L1376P), leptin-induced depolarization of Pomc neurons and Pomc expression are significantly reduced, and food intake and body weight are increased. In summary, we demonstrate that SRC-1 modulates the function of hypothalamic Pomc neurons, and suggest that targeting SRC-1 may represent a useful therapeutic strategy for weight loss.

description: X-ray is one of the prevalent image modalities for the detection and diagnosis of the human body. X-ray provides an actual anatomical structure of an organ present with disease or absence of disease. Segmentation of disease in chest X-ray images is essential for the diagnosis and treatment. In this paper, a framework for the segmentation of X-ray images using artificial intelligence techniques has been discussed. Here data has been pre-processed and cleaned followed by segmentation using SegNet and Residual Net approaches to X-ray images. Finally, segmentation has been evaluated using well known metrics like Loss, Dice Coefficient, Jaccard Coefficient, Precision, Recall, Binary Accuracy, and Validation Accuracy. The experimental results reveal that the proposed approach performs better in all respect of well-known parameters with 16 batch size and 50 epochs. The value of validation accuracy, precision, and recall of SegNet and Residual Unet models are 0.9815, 0.9699, 0.9574, and 0.9901, 0.9864, 0.9750 respectively.

Subjects: subject: Computation and Language (cs.CL)

description: While long short-term memory (LSTM) neural net architectures are designed to capture sequence information, human language is generally composed of hierarchical structures. This raises the question as to whether LSTMs can learn hierarchical structures. We explore this question with a well-formed bracket prediction task using two types of brackets modeled by an LSTM. Demonstrating that such a system is learnable by an LSTM is the first step in demonstrating that the entire class of CFLs is also learnable. We observe that the model requires exponential memory in terms of the number of characters and embedded depth, where a sub-linear memory should suffice. Still, the model does more than memorize the training input. It learns how to distinguish between relevant and irrelevant information. On the other hand, we also observe that the model does not generalize well. We conclude that LSTMs do not learn the relevant underlying context-free rules, suggesting the good overall performance is attained rather by an efficient way of evaluating nuisance variables. LSTMs are a way to quickly reach good results for many natural language tasks, but to understand and generate natural language one has to investigate other concepts that can make more direct use of natural language's structural nature.

description: We present a clear and rigorous derivation of the Ewald-like method for calculation of the electrostatic energy of the systems infinitely periodic in two-dimensions and of finite size in the third dimension (slabs) which is significantly faster than existing methods. Molecular dynamics simulations using the transferable/polarizable model by Rustad et al. were applied to study the surface relaxation of the nonhydroxylated, hydroxylated, and solvated surfaces of alpha-Fe2O3 (hematite). We find that our nonhydroxylated structures and energies are in good agreement with previous LDA calculations on alpha-alumina by Manassidis et al. [Surf. Sci. Lett. 285, L517, 1993]. Using the results of molecular dynamics simulations of solvated interfaces, we define end-member hydroxylated-hydrated states for the surfaces which are used in energy minimization calculations. We find that hydration has a small effect on the surface structure, but that hydroxylation has a significant effect. Our calculations, both for gas-phase and solution-phase adsorption, predict a greater amount of hydroxylation for the (012) surface than for the (001) surface. Our simulations also indicate the presence of four-fold coordinated iron ions on the (001) surface.

description: In this work we investigate the question, under what conditions Hilbert spaces that are induced by measures on the space of generalized connections carry a representation of certain non-Abelian analogues of the electric flux. We give the problem a precise mathematical formulation and start its investigation. For the technically simple case of U(1) as gauge group, we establish a number of "no-go theorems" asserting that for certain classes of measures, the flux operators can not be represented on the corresponding Hilbert spaces. The flux-observables we consider play an important role in loop quantum gravity since they can be defined without recourse to a background geometry, and they might also be of interest in the general context of quantization of non-Abelian gauge theories.

description: In humans, intrinsic motivation is an important mechanism for open-ended cognitive development; in robots, it has been shown to be valuable for exploration. An important aspect of human cognitive development is $\textit{episodic memory}$ which enables both the recollection of events from the past and the projection of subjective future. This paper explores the use of visual episodic memory as a source of intrinsic motivation for robotic exploration problems. Using a convolutional recurrent neural network autoencoder, the agent learns an efficient representation for spatiotemporal features such that accurate sequence prediction can only happen once spatiotemporal features have been learned. Structural similarity between ground truth and autoencoder generated images is used as an intrinsic motivation signal to guide exploration. Our proposed episodic memory model also implicitly accounts for the agent's actions, motivating the robot to seek new interactive experiences rather than just areas that are visually dissimilar. When guiding robotic exploration, our proposed method outperforms the Curiosity-driven Variational Autoencoder (CVAE) at finding dynamic anomalies.

description: How interactions between individuals contribute to the emergence of complex societies is a major question in behavioural ecology. Nonetheless, little remains known about the type of immediate social structure (i.e. social network) that emerges from relationships that maximize beneficial interactions (e.g. social attraction towards informed individuals) and minimize costly relationships (e.g. social avoidance of infected group mates). We developed an agent-based model where individuals vary in the degree to which individuals signal benefits versus costs to others and, on this basis, choose with whom to interact depending on simple rules of social attraction (e.g. access to the highest benefits) and social avoidance (e.g. avoiding the highest costs). Our main findings demonstrate that the accumulation of individual decisions to avoid interactions with highly costly individuals, but that are to some extent homogeneously beneficial, leads to more modular networks. On the contrary, individuals favouring interactions with highly beneficial individuals, but that are to some extent homogeneously costly, lead to less modular networks. Interestingly, statistical models also indicate that when individuals have multiple potentially beneficial partners to interact with, and no interaction cost exists, this also leads to more modular networks. Yet, the degree of modularity is contingent upon the variability in benefit levels held by individuals. We discuss the emergence of modularity in the systems and their consequences for understanding social trade-offs.

description: How interactions between individuals contribute to the emergence of complex societies is a major question in behavioural ecology. Nonetheless, little remains known about the type of immediate social structure (i.e. social network) that emerges from relationships that maximize beneficial interactions (e.g. social attraction towards informed individuals) and minimize costly relationships (e.g. social avoidance of infected group mates). We developed an agent-based model where individuals vary in the degree to which individuals signal benefits versus costs to others and, on this basis, choose with whom to interact depending on simple rules of social attraction (e.g. access to the highest benefits) and social avoidance (e.g. avoiding the highest costs). Our main findings demonstrate that the accumulation of individual decisions to avoid interactions with highly costly individuals, but that are to some extent homogeneously beneficial, leads to more modular networks. On the contrary, individuals favouring interactions with highly beneficial individuals, but that are to some extent homogeneously costly, lead to less modular networks. Interestingly, statistical models also indicate that when individuals have multiple potentially beneficial partners to interact with, and no interaction cost exists, this also leads to more modular networks. Yet, the degree of modularity is contingent upon the variability in benefit levels held by individuals.

description: We establish the nonequilibrium thermal phases of a voltage driven antiferromagnetic Mott insulator in three dimensions, realised at steady state under a voltage bias. Starting from the Keldysh action for the half filled Hubbard model we derive an effective Langevin equation for the `slow' magnetic variables. The coupling of electrons to these degrees of freedom determine the transport properties. At low temperature we find a voltage-driven discontinuous insulator-metal transition, along with hysteresis. We map the suppression of the Néel temperature $T_N$ and pseudogap temperature $T_{pg}$ with increasing voltage, and discover that the biased Mott insulator has a finite temperature insulator-metal transition. The low temperature results resolve an experimental puzzle about hysteresis, and the thermal results make testable predictions on spectra and nonlinear transport.

description: Le développement des énergies renouvelables est envisagé comme solution pour limiter les rejets de gaz à effet de serre aggravant le changement climatique et menaçant la biodiversité et l’espèce humaine. Toutefois, afin d’avoir une image plus complète des alternatives énergétiques qui s’offrent à nous, il reste nécessaire d’évaluer les impacts de ces technologies sur la biodiversité, notamment dans l’optique de leur déploiement à large échelle.

Afin d’accompagner la transition énergétique et de répondre aux enjeux énergétiques et de développement durable, la Fondation pour la recherche sur la biodiversité (FRB), en partenariat avec TotalEnergies, a réalisé un état de l’art des impacts des installations de production d’énergies renouvelables sur la biodiversité : l’éolien et particulièrement l’éolien offshore, le photovoltaïque, le biogaz et l’hydrogène.

Les 5 grands facteurs de perte de biodiversité identifiés par l’Ipbes ont ainsi été pris comme cadre d’analyse pour identifier les connaissances issues de la communauté de recherche sur les impacts de ces installations sur la biodiversité : changement d’occupation des sols, exploitation des espèces, pollutions, changement climatique et espèces exotiques envahissantes. Ces impacts surviennent à différentes échelles, que cela soit au niveau de l’individu (perturbations, blessures ou mort), des populations, des espèces et des communautés.

Dans un second temps, ce travail se penche sur les manques de connaissances concernant ces impacts et sur les pistes de recherche qui permettraient de les combler, ainsi que sur les solutions et bonnes pratiques permettant d’éviter, réduire ou compenser ces impacts.

A Non-Śrauta Ritual in the Oldest Yajurveda Text : Maitrāyaṇī Saṁhitā IV 2 (Gonāmika Chapter)
Creators: name: Amano, Kyoko
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2019

description: The Maitrāyaṇī Saṁhitā [MS] IV.2, gonāmika chapter, contains descriptions of esoteric rites that don’t look like the orthodox śrauta ritual. They are, on one hand, the rites of serving a cow that are concerned with the gopitṛyajña (MS I.6) and the śūlagava ritual belonging to the gṛhya rites, and on the other hand, the worship of Rudra that is again concerned with the śūlagava ritual. Underlying them is an ancient popular rite of serving a cow to people of the community at the end of the year. The examination of these descriptions gives a clue to the answer to the question whether the Vedic Brāhmaṇa texts were composed in order to describe śrauta rituals. The contents of this paper are following: 0. Were the Brāhmaṇa texts composed in order to describe śrauta rituals? 1. Historic layers of language in the Maitrāyaṇī Saṁ hitā. 2. Common features in I.9 (caturhotṛ chapter) and IV.2 (gonāmika chapter). 3. Contents of IV.2 (gonāmika chapter). 4. Ritual of serving a cow at ekāṣṭakā. 5. Serving a cow described in IV.2 (and I.6) and Atharvaveda 8.10. 6. Serving a cow described in IV.2 (and I.6) and the gopitṛyajña. 7. Serving a cow described in IV.2 and the śūlagava in the Gṛhyasūtras. 8. Conclusions. 9. Reconsidering the ritual and texts in the Yajurveda Saṁ hitā period.

description: Open software ecosystems are beneficial for customers; they benefit from 3rd party services and applications, e.g. analysis of data using apps, developed and deployed by other companies or open-source communities. One significant advantage of this approach is that other customers may benefit from these newly developed applications as well. Especially software ecosystems utilizing container technologies are prone to certain risks. Docker, in particular, is more vulnerable to attacks than hypervisor based virtualisation as it directly operates on the host system. Docker is a popular representative of containerisation technology which offers a lightweight architecture in order to facilitate the set-up and creation of such software ecosystems. Popular Infrastructure as a Service cloud service providers, like Amazon Web Services or Microsoft Azure, jump on the containerisation bandwagon and provide interfaces for provisioning and managing containers. Companies can benefit from that change of technology and create software ecosystems more efficiently. In this paper, we present a new concept for significant security improvements for cloud-based software ecosystems using Docker for 3rd party app integration. Based on the security features of Docker we describe a secure integration of applications in the cloud environment securely. Our approach considers the whole software lifecycle and includes sandbox testing of potentially dangerous 3rd party apps before these became available to the customers.

description: In the era of "information overload", effective information provision is essential for enabling rapid response and critical decision making. In making sense of diverse information sources, data dashboards have become an indispensable tool, providing fast, effective, adaptable, and personalized access to information for professionals and the general public alike. However, these objectives place a heavy requirement on dashboards as information systems, resulting in poor usability and ineffective design. Understanding these shortfalls is a challenge given the absence of a consistent and comprehensive approach to dashboard evaluation. In this paper we systematically review literature on dashboard implementation in the healthcare domain, a field where dashboards have been employed widely, and in which there is widespread interest for improving the current state of the art, and subsequently analyse approaches taken towards evaluation. We draw upon consolidated dashboard literature and our own observations to introduce a general definition of dashboards which is more relevant to current trends, together with a dashboard task-based classification, which underpin our subsequent analysis. From a total of 81 papers we derive seven evaluation scenarios - task performance, behaviour change, interaction workflow, perceived engagement, potential utility, algorithm performance and system implementation. These scenarios distinguish different evaluation purposes which we illustrate through measurements, example studies, and common challenges in evaluation study design. We provide a breakdown of each evaluation scenario, and highlight some of the subtle and less well posed questions. We conclude by outlining a number of active discussion points and a set of dashboard evaluation best practices for the academic, clinical and software development communities alike.
