In this paper, we will explore, through a narrative-semiotic lens, how 32 Edwardian (1901–1914) celebrities style the ‘self’ in their pictorial bookplates. Using Zhao and Zappavigna, 2018a, 2018b, 2020, Ross 2020 typology of selfies as starting point drawing upon aspects Bamberg Georgakopoulou’s (2008) positioning analysis, embed users’ visual arrangements narrative stance-taking elements ethno...

During the last few years, the development of animal-borne still cameras and video recorders has enabled researchers to observe what a wild animal sees in the field. In the present study, we deployed miniaturized video recorders to investigate the underwater foraging behavior of Imperial cormorants (Phalacrocorax atriceps). Video footage was obtained from 12 animals and 49 dives comprising a to...

Abstract Automated computational analysis of the vast chemical space is critical for numerous fields research such as drug discovery and material science. Representation learning techniques have recently been employed with primary objective generating compact informative numerical expressions complex data, efficient usage in subsequent prediction tasks. One approach to efficiently learn molecul...

Exploring the power of self-representation in form selfies as an affirmation-based practice, artist transforms her frustrations with self-identification through a “trans*glitch performance,” and practices queer self-portraiture use medium to challenge LatinX identity representation.

Cross-domain biometrics has been emerging as a new necessity, which poses several additional challenges, including harsh illumination changes, noise, pose variation, among others. In this paper, we explore approaches to cross-domain face verification, comparing self-portrait photographs (“selfies”) to ID documents. We approach the problem with proper image photometric adjustment and data standa...
