Pay Attention When Selecting Features

In this paper, we propose a new approach for landmark selection for simultaneous robot localization and mapping based on visual sensors (VSLAM): a biologically motivated attention system finds regions of interest with high information content, and at these regions, Harris corners are detected. This combines the advantages of the ROIs (reducing complexity, enabling good redetactability of region...

Warning to pay more attention to fungal allergic asthma in children

Asthma is a global problem that affects over 300 million people in the world. The main reason of asthma is allergy and atopy. Asthmatic patients are sensitized to allergens that can be resulting asthma attacks. Fungi as an allergen can be sensitized atopic people and present a severe asthma. Fungi have been found in water-damaged homes of asthmatic patients. Allergic asthma is associated with e...

Learning to Pay Attention

1188 Our sensory system is constantly bombarded with inputs, but owing to the brain's fi nite processing power, we are forced to pay attention to only a tiny proportion of these inputs at any given time. In a new study, Richard Davidson and colleagues report that intensive training in meditation can alter the way in which the brain allocates attentional resources to important stimuli, allowing ...

Learn To Pay Attention

We propose an end-to-end-trainable attention module for convolutional neural network (CNN) architectures built for image classification. The module takes as input the 2D feature vector maps which form the intermediate representations of the input image at different stages in the CNN pipeline, and outputs a 2D matrix of scores for each map. Standard CNN architectures are modified through the inc...
