Self-supervised learning (SSL) on 3D point clouds has the potential to learn feature representations that can transfer to diverse sensors and multiple downstream perception tasks. However, recent SSL approaches fail to define pretext tasks that retai...
Self-Healing Cyber-Physical Systems (SH-CPS) effectively recover from system perceived failures without human intervention. They ensure a level of resilience and tolerance to unforeseen situations that arise from intrinsic system and component degrad...
Am I Gay Quiz is a free, web-based self-assessment tool designed to help individuals reflect on their sexual orientation. By answering a series of thoughtfully crafted questions, users can gain insight into …
The understanding of the halo current properties during disruptions is key to design and operate large scale tokamaks in view of the large thermal and electromagnetic loads that they entail. For the first time, we present a fully self-consistent mode...
People increasingly rely on AI-advice when making decisions. At times, such advice can promote selfish behavior. When individuals abide by selfishness-promoting AI advice, how are they perceived and punished? To study this question, we build on theor...
Practice self-healing and discover a happier you through Calm. Feel better by reducing anxiety, prioritizing your self-care and choosing a guided meditation session that fits within your busy...
Competitive Self-Play (CSP) based Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning (MARL) has shown phenomenal breakthroughs recently. Strong AIs are achieved for several benchmarks, including Dota 2, Glory of Kings, Quake III, StarCraft II, to name a few. Despite...
We propose a dual-path self-attention recurrent neural network (DP-SARNN) for time-domain speech enhancement. We improve dual-path RNN (DP-RNN) by augmenting inter-chunk and intra-chunk RNN with a recently proposed efficient attention mechanism. The...
Self-similarity of random trees is related to the operation of pruning. Pruning $R$ cuts the leaves and their parental edges and removes the resulting chains of degree-two nodes from a finite tree. A Horton-Strahler order of a vertex $v$ and its pare...
The paper establishes a weak version of Horton self-similarity for a tree representation of Kingman's coalescent process. The proof is based on a Smoluchowski-type system of ordinary differential equations for the number of branches of a given Horton...
The self-similar expansion of a blast wave, well-studied in air, has peculiar counterparts in dense and dissipative media such as granular gases. Recent results have shown that, while the traditional Taylor-von Neumann-Sedov (TvNS) derivation is not...
Self-supervised speech representation learning (SSL) has shown to be effective in various downstream tasks, but SSL models are usually large and slow. Model compression techniques such as pruning aim to reduce the model size and computation without d...
The observation by Ke et al. [Science 338, 1177 (2012)] that large numbers of short, pre-designed DNA strands can assemble into three-dimensional target structures came as a great surprise, as no colloidal self-assembling system has ever achieved the...
We propose a self-supervised learning method using multiple sampling strategies to obtain general-purpose audio representation. Multiple sampling strategies are used in the proposed method to construct contrastive losses from different perspectives a...
Recently, there have been many advances in autonomous driving society, attracting a lot of attention from academia and industry. However, existing works mainly focus on cars, extra development is still required for self-driving truck algorithms and m...
A combined measurement and Monte-Carlo simulation study was carried out in order to characterize the particle self-shielding effect of B4C grains in neutron shielding concrete. Several batches of a specialized neutron shielding concrete, with varying...
Conflicting sensor measurements pose a huge problem for the environment representation of an autonomous robot. Therefore, in this paper, we address the self-assessment of an evidential grid map in which data from conflicting LiDAR sensor measurements...
# What is Perfectionism? Perfectionism is a complex issue. **Essentially, a perfectionist is someone who strongly ties their self-worth to the meeting of demanding,** **self-imposed** **standards.** ...
It is suggested that at the melting temperature the thermal phonon vibration is in self-resonance with the lattice vibration of the surface atomic/molecular layer. This self resonance occurs at a well defined temperature and triggers the detachment...
