I figure many of us are having to work from home for a while. For those of you who can’t bring your experiments home, this is a great time to learn a little about computational biology, data analysi...
A discussion of the history of scientific computing for Radio Astronomy in the Cavendish Laboratory of the University of Cambridge in the decades after the Second World War. This covers the development of the aperture synthesis technique for Radio As...
We present a work-flow which aims at capturing residents' abnormal activities through the passenger flow of elevator in multi-storey residence buildings. Camera and sensors (hall sensor, photoelectric sensor, gyro, accelerometer, barometer, and therm...
Semi-iNat is a challenging dataset for semi-supervised classification with a long-tailed distribution of classes, fine-grained categories, and domain shifts between labeled and unlabeled data. This dataset is behind the second iteration of the semi-s...
Nike, Inc. has been using sweatshops and worker abuse to produce footwear and apparel in East Asia. After rising prices and the increasing cost of labor
Diverse actions give rise to rich audio-visual signals in long videos. Recent works showcase that the two modalities of audio and video exhibit different temporal extents of events and distinct labels. We address the interplay between the two modalit...

This report documents recent technical work on developing and validating stochastic occupancy models in commercial buildings, performed by the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) as part of the Sensor Impact Evaluation and Verification proje...
Research reveals you can build muscle with fewer, heavier sets at the gym. Discover the science-backed way to maximize your strength gains in less time.
As the digital economy grows increasingly intangible, traditional productivity measures struggle to capture the true economic impact of artificial intelligence (AI). AI systems capable of cognitive work significantly enhance productivity, yet their c...

A growing body of work has shown that AI-assisted methods -- leveraging large language models, social choice methods, and collective dialogues -- can help navigate polarization and surface common ground in controlled lab settings. But what can these...
The work presented in this paper makes three scientific contributions with a specific focus on mining and analysis of COVID-19-related posts on Instagram. First, it presents a multilingual dataset of 500,153 Instagram posts about COVID-19 published b...
**Ever wanted a real material scientist to test your favorite ideas/hypothesis? This is your chance!** What is a non-Newtonian fluid or soft matter? [The hydraulic press channel has a great video sh...
The Large Particle Physics Laboratory Directors Group (LDG) established the Working Group on the Sustainability Assessment of Future Accelerators in 2024 with the mandate to develop guidelines and a list of key parameters for the assessment of the su...
Assigning team labels to players in a sport game is not a trivial task when no prior is known about the visual appearance of each team. Our work builds on a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) to learn a descriptor, namely a pixel-wise embedding vecto...

(renamed BASIC-2). The 2200 VP evolved into a desktop computer and larger MVP system to support up to 16 workstations and utilized commercial disk technologies
Monday is the first day of the work week. It is named after the Moon. Many big US holidays are on Mondays, like Labor Day, Memorial Day, Columbus Day, and Veteran’s Day.
The argument sufficiency assessment task aims to determine if the premises of a given argument support its conclusion. To tackle this task, existing works often train a classifier on data annotated by humans. However, annotating data is laborious, an...
