This paper presents the summary of the Efficient Face Recognition Competition (EFaR) held at the 2023 International Joint Conference on Biometrics (IJCB 2023). The competition received 17 submissions from 6 different teams. To drive further developme...
This paper describes the submission of UZH_CLyp for the SemEval 2023 Task 9 "Multilingual Tweet Intimacy Analysis". We achieved second-best results in all 10 languages according to the official Pearson's correlation regression evaluation measure. Our...
Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) often exhibit atypical facial expressions. However, the specific objective facial features that underlie this subjective perception remain unclear. In this paper, we introduce a novel dataset, Hugging Rain...
This work is an extended version of a paper published last year in Physical Review Letters [S. de Man et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 103, 040402 (2009)], where we presented measurements of the Casimir force between a gold coated sphere and a plate coated w...
This paper firstly presents old photo modernization using multiple references by performing stylization and enhancement in a unified manner. In order to modernize old photos, we propose a novel multi-reference-based old photo modernization (MROPM) fr...
This paper describes how to extend the usual one-level tag selection navigation paradigm in folksonomy-based digital collections to a multilevel browsing one, according to which it is possible to incrementally narrow down the set of selected objects...
“The Promise of Time-Series Foundation Models for Agricultural Forecasting: Evidence from Commodity Prices, ” with L. Wang. Working paper at arXiv:2601.06371.
Building robots is an engaging activity that provides opportunities for hands-on learning. However, traditional robot-building kits are usually costly with limited functionality due to material and technology constraints. To improve the accessibility...
This paper presents a Neuromorphic Starter Kit, which has been designed to help a variety of research groups perform research, exploration and real-world demonstrations of brain-based, neuromorphic processors and hardware environments. A prototype ki...
This document provides the results of the tests of acoustic parameter estimation algorithms on the Acoustic Characterization of Environments (ACE) Challenge Evaluation dataset which were subsequently submitted and written up into papers for the Proce...
Finger vein pattern recognition is an emerging biometric with a good resistance to presentation attacks and low error rates. One problem is that it is hard to obtain ground truth finger vein patterns from live fingers. In this paper we propose an adv...
In this paper we investigate the convection phenomenon in the intracluster medium (the weakly-collisional magnetized inhomogeneous plasma permeating galaxy clusters) where the concentration gradient of the Helium ions is not ignorable. To this end,...
This paper introduces cozy, a tool for analyzing and visualizing differences between two versions of a software binary. The primary use case for cozy is validating "micropatches": small binary or assembly-level patches inserted into existing compiled...
This paper is concerned with the analysis of the inf-sup condition arising in the stationary Stokes problem in exterior domains. We deduce values of the constant in the stability lemma, which yields fully computable estimates of the distance to the s...
Skyline queries are important in many application domains. In this paper, we propose a novel structure Skyline Diagram, which given a set of points, partitions the plane into a set of regions, referred to as skyline polyominos. All query points in th...
In the paper we complete the classification of Carter subgroups in finite almost simple groups. In particular, we prove that Carter subgroups of every finite almost simple group are conjugate. Togeather with previous results by author and F. Dalla...
It is proven in the paper, that Carter subgroups of a finite group are conjugate if Carter subgroups in the group of induced automorphisms for every non-Abelian composition factor are conjugate....
In the paper it is proven that Carter subgroups of a finite group are conjugate. A complete classification of Carter subgroups in finite almost simple groups is also obtained....
This paper attempts to analyze central place theory of spatial economics based on supply and demand theory in microeconomics and field theory in physics, and also discuss their relationship. Three most important research findings are described belo...
In this paper, we consider the construction of irreducible representations of finite pattern groups in terms of Panov's associative polarization, which is a finite-field analogue of Kirillov's orbital method. Using this construction, first, we are ab...
