Employing part-level features for pedestrian image description offers fine-grained information and has been verified as beneficial for person retrieval in very recent literature. A prerequisite of part discovery is that each part should be well located. Instead of using external cues, e.g., pose estimation, to directly locate parts, this paper lays emphasis on the content consistency within eac...

This response details how the notion of orchestration aligns with the perspective of user-centred design. It emphasises the importance of understanding and designing for the classroom, as well as involving key stakeholders, such as teachers and students in the design process. A focus is placed on the orchestration feature of visibility and a short case study is presented which describes and ref...

Computing part scores is the main computational bottleneck in object detection with Deformable Part Models. In this work we introduce an efficient method to obtain bounds on part scores, which we then integrate with deformable model detection. As in [1] we rapidly approximate the inner product between a weight vector and HOG-based features by quantizing the HOG cells onto a codebook and replace...

Existing research has emphasized the importance of normality judgments in many aspects of cognition and life (e.g., causal cognition, gradable adjectives, cooperative behavior). Yet little work has explored how people actually come to understand what sorts of things are normal. We argue that people’s normality intuitions reflect a mixture of statistical and evaluative considerations. Specifical...

This paper deals with commonsense understanding of part-whole relations. A unifying definition for the different kinds of parts is proposed for one domain, that of rigid, man-made objects. First, the representation of objects via basic dimensions, reference systems and attributes is described. Then, different kinds of parts, based on the classification of Gerstl and Pribbenow (1996), are examin...

Although not expressly regulated hybrid work is a reality that cannot be fully encapsulated in the concept of telework. It has several advantages: it allows employees to freely choose where they work, while losing contact with colleagues. For companies, working reduction utility costs and downsizing office space, still being able benefit from direct presence workers. Therefore, expression compr...
