Our knowledge vegetation dynamics lands is incomplete, part because research comparing types from different cultivars limited. This paper compared the textural and structural changes previously extensively treated vineyards, arables, grasslands over 30-year timescale secondary s...

Face clustering is a task to partition facial images into disjoint clusters. In this paper, we investigate a specific problem of face clustering in videos. Unlike traditional face clustering problem with a given collection of images from multiple sources, our task deals with set of face tracks with information about frame ID. Thus, we can exploit two kinds of prior knowledge about the temporal ...

Gameplay in real-time strategy games seems somehow to be confined to a de facto standard where economical micromanagement is equally important as combat strategy, if not more important. To enable stronger combat-oriented gameplay without sacrificing other key aspects of the genre, we propose an automated system for scheduling unit training, which we believe may allow the exploration of new para...

In the literature, it is usually assumed that all the agents are endowed with cardinally comparable, additive, and monotone utility functions. In many economic and political situations violations of these assumptions may arise. We show how a family of...
