We propose a novel approach for instance segmentation given an image of homogeneous object cluster (HOC). Our learning approach is one-shot because a single video of an object instance is captured and it requires no human annotation. Our intuition is that images of homogeneous objects can be effectively synthesized based on structure and illumination priors derived from real images. A novel sol...

We present a novel cross-lingual transfer method for paradigm completion, the task of mapping a lemma to its inflected forms, using a neural encoder-decoder model, the state of the art for the monolingual task. We use labeled data from a high-resource language to increase performance on a lowresource language. In experiments on 21 language pairs from four different language families, we obtain ...

Dominant Foot – “Right Footed” The human body is made up largely of paired structures, most of which are not perfectly matched. Stated differently, the apparent mirror image symmetry of the human body (arms, legs, face, eyes) is in reality an array of asymmetrical parts. It is this fundamental asymmetry that leads to the concept of dominance. For example, most people have a dominant arm and han...

The purposes of this study were to assess unilateral and bilateral vertical jump performance characteristics, and to compare the vertical ground reaction force characteristics of the impulse and landing phase of a vertical jump between the dominant and non-dominant leg in soccer players. The sample consisted of 20 male soccer players (22.80 ± 2.71 years, 1.88 ± 0.06 m, 76.47 ± 8.80 kg) who comp...

Wireless network on chip (WiNoC) is one of the promising on-chip interconnection networks for on-chip system architectures. In addition to wired links, these architectures also use wireless links. Using these wireless links makes packets reach destination nodes faster and with less power consumption. These wireless links are provided by wireless interfaces in wireless routers. The WiNoC archite...

\Scene retrieval method for video database applications using temporal condition changes," in Proc. 5 Summary and future work In this work, two important problems of video databases were addressed. For each problem, a solution based on information readily available in compressed video was presented. As the performance of the shot detection scheme suggests, it is possible to locate shot boundari...

Coincident hand and foot movements are more reliably performed in the same direction than in opposite directions. Using transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) to assess motor cortex function, we examined the physiological basis of these movements across three novel experiments. Experiment 1 demonstrated that upper limb corticomotor excitability changed in a way that facilitated isodirectional ...

Shot peening applies a residual compressive stress field (RCSF) on the surface of parts. It also shifts “crack nucleation sites” to sub-surface locations. A nondestructive method of measuring the stresses, Sin2ψ was utilized here and the stress values introduced to Ansys software. For this purpose, uniform stress in all directions was applied on the con rod. Loading on the rod in Ansys had thre...

Classic direct mechanisms require full utility revelation from agents, which can be very difficult in practical multi-attribute settings. In this work, we study partial revelation within the framework of one-shot mechanisms. Each agent’s type space is partitioned into a finite set of partial types and agents (should) report the partial type within which their full type lies. A classic result im...
