In this paper, we introduce a novel self-supervised learning (SSL) loss for image representation learning. There is growing belief that generalization in deep neural networks linked to their ability discriminate object shapes. Since shape related the location of its parts, propose detect those have been artificially misplaced. We represent parts with tokens and train ViT which token has combine...

We study the e¤ects of deliberation on collective decisions. In a series of experiments, we vary groups’preference distributions (between common and con‡icting interests) and the institutions by which decisions are reached (simple majority, two-thirds majority, and unanimity). When deliberation is prohibited, di¤erent institutions generate signi…cantly di¤erent outcomes, tracking the theoretica...

We describe a method for reasoning about programs that uses a mixture of abductive, inductive and deductive inference. It allows us to synthesize a pre/post spec for a program procedure, without requiring any information about the procedure’s calling context. The method can be used to obtain partial specifications for portions of large code bases in the millions of lines of code. The method beg...

Recent advances in computer technology have facilitated the development of computerised clinical information systems (CIS) to answer growing demands for accountability and quality assurance in the fields of mental health, social welfare and education. These systems aid and support ongoing monitoring and evaluation of professional practice. Although agencies invest considerable resources in comp...

Historical architectural archives enjoy attention from diverse audiences, acting as a primary source of information for architects, historians, public authorities, and common citizens alike. In Italy, the interest in has grown slowly but steadily last 20 years. However, do not generally follow trend museums galleries publishing digitized materials providing standard metadata individual records....

background: an increasing success in induction of labor and subsequent termination of pregnancy in presence of unfavorable cervix requires cervical ripening in order to reduce complications and to diminish the rate of cesarean sections as well as the duration of labor.  however, there is no consensus on the efficiency of conventional methods for cervical ripening.   objective: to determine and ...
