Face liveness detection has become a widely used technique with a growing importance in various authentication scenarios to withstand spoofing attacks. Existing methods that perform liveness detection generally focus on designing intelligent classifi...
Communication at mmWave bands carries critical importance for 5G wireless networks. In this paper, we study the characterization of mmWave air-to-ground (AG) channels for unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) communications. In particular, we use ray tracing...
Energies from alpha- and proton-decay experiments yield information of capital importance for deriving the atomic masses of superheavy and exotic nuclides. We present a procedure to correct the published decay energies in case the recoiling daughter...
2 of 9 | Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stressed on Monday the importance of “unity” between Europe, the United States and Ukraine. He made the comments as he met with French, German and …
Personalism is an intellectual stance that emphasizes the importance of the human person. Personalism exists in many different versions, and this makes
In this paper, we introduce a probabilistic approach to risk assessment of robot systems by focusing on the impact of uncertainties. While various approaches to identifying systematic hazards (e.g., bugs, design flaws, etc.) can be found in current l...
In this paper we examine the importance of the choice of metric in path coupling, and the relationship of this to \emph{stopping time analysis}. We give strong evidence that stopping time analysis is no more powerful than standard path coupling. In...
Something's relevance to a situation or person is its importance or significance in that situation or to that person.
Over time, 'relevance' has evolved to signify the importance and connection of information to a specific context or subject. In today's data-driven world, the concept of relevance plays a crucial role in …
Synonyms for RELEVANCE: relevancy, connection, bearing, significance, applicability, pertinence, importance, materiality; Antonyms of RELEVANCE: irrelevance, irrelevancy, inapplicability, unfitness, …
Despite its importance for insurance, there is almost no literature on statistical hail damage modeling. Statistical models for hailstorms exist, though they are generally not open-source, but no study appears to have developed a stochastic hail impa...
I recently started using all my lamps consistently and turning off my big lights as much as I can. They are actually warmer in person but for some reason it looks even colder in photos. But nonetheles...
The global importance of effective and affordable pesticides to optimise crop yield and to support health of our growing population cannot be understated. But to develop new products or refine existing ones in response to climate and environmental ch...
Pesticides are a kind of agricultural input, whose use can greatly reduce yield loss, regulate plant growth, effectively liberate agricultural productivity, and improve food security. The availability of pesticides in economies all over the world is...
Mutually beneficial interactions between plant and pollinators play an essential role in the biodiversity, stability of the ecosystem and crop production. Despite their immense importance, rapid decline events of pollinators are common worldwide in p...
The Semantic Brand Score (SBS) is a new measure of brand importance calculated on text data, combining methods of social network and semantic analysis. This metric is flexible as it can be used in different contexts and across products, markets and l...
Machine learning has revolutionized numerous domains, playing a crucial role in driving advancements and enabling data-centric processes. The significance of data in training models and shaping their performance cannot be overstated. Recent research...
1. Having considerable monetary or material value for use or exchange: a valuable diamond. 2. Of great importance, use, or service: valuable information; valuable advice. 3. Having admirable or esteemed …
Explainability for machine learning models has gained considerable attention within the research community given the importance of deploying more reliable machine-learning systems. In computer vision applications, generative counterfactual methods in...
The importance of collective social action in current events is manifest in the Arab Spring and Occupy movements. Electronic social media have become a pervasive channel for social interactions, and a basis of collective social response to informatio...
