We present a versatile model, FaceAnime, for various video generation tasks from still images. Video single face image is an interesting problem and usually tackled by utilizing Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) to integrate information the input sequence of sparse facial landmarks. However, generated images suffer quality loss, distortion, identity change, expression mismatching due weak ...

Recently, member states of the European Union have legislated new data retention policies. Anonymisation services and proxy servers undermine such data retention efforts, as they allow users tomasquerade their IP addresses. Providers of such services have to implement effective data retention mechanisms allowing for traceability while at the same time preserving users’ privacy as far as possibl...

One of the purposes of consciousness is to acquire knowledge. The models of this task traditionally assume a division between the known and the knower, a division that leads into doubtful reasoning about some kind of (frequently disguised) homunculus. The current paper tries to avoid such fallacies by viewing the adaptation of the mind as an evolutionary process, a process distinct (but not ind...

In order to compare and integrate brain data more effectively, data from multiple subjects are typically mapped into a canonical space. One method to do this is to conformally map cortical surfaces to the sphere. It is well known that any genus zero Riemann surface can be mapped conformally to a sphere. Cortical surface is a genus zero surface. Therefore, conformal mapping offers a convenient m...
