Given a poset $P$, the set, $Γ(P)$, of all Scott closed sets ordered by inclusion forms a complete lattice. A subcategory $\mathbf{C}$ of $\mathbf{Pos}_d$ (the category of posets and Scott-continuous maps) is said to be $Γ$-faithful if for any pose...
Short-video applications have attracted substantial user traffic. However, these platforms also foster problematic usage patterns, commonly referred to as short-video addiction, which pose risks to both user health and the sustainable development of...
Facial micro-expression (ME) recognition has posed a huge challenge to researchers for its subtlety in motion and limited databases. Recently, handcrafted techniques have achieved superior performance in micro-expression recognition but at the cost o...

In 2004, the UK Government's Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs commissioned research with the aim of developing a scheme for assessing the risks posed to species, habitats and ecosystems in the UK by non-native organisms. The outco...
Inverse rendering seeks to reconstruct both geometry and spatially varying BRDFs (SVBRDFs) from captured images. To address the inherent ill-posedness of inverse rendering, basis BRDF representations are commonly used, modeling SVBRDFs as spatially v...
An initial-boundary value problem for the 2D Kawahara-Burgers equation posed on a channel-type strip was considered. The existence and uniqueness results for regular and weak solutions in weighted spaces as well as exponential decay of small solution...
These notes are a considerably revised and expanded version of expository lectures given at the Fields Institute Workshop on "Nonlinear Dispersive Partial Differential Equations and Inverse Scattering" in August 2017. We give a complete and self-cont...
The effective utilization at scale of complex machine learning (ML) techniques for HEP use cases poses several technological challenges, most importantly on the actual implementation of dedicated end-to-end data pipelines. A solution to these challen...
Every new game announcement now brags about their "advanced photo mode" with filters, poses, and lighting controls. Meanwhile basic features are broken at launch. I get that some people love taking s...
Deep learning typically requires training a very capable architecture using large datasets. However, many important learning problems demand an ability to draw valid inferences from small size datasets, and such problems pose a particular challenge f...
Robust and lane-level positioning is essential for autonomous vehicles. As an irreplaceable sensor, LiDAR can provide continuous and high-frequency pose estimation by means of mapping, on condition that enough environment features are available. The...
Despite technological and medical advances, the detection, interpretation, and treatment of cancer based on imaging data continue to pose significant challenges. These include inter-observer variability, class imbalance, dataset shifts, inter- and in...
God Header Files, just like God Classes, pose significant challenges for code comprehension and maintenance. Additionally, they increase the time required for code recompilation. However, existing refactoring methods for God Classes are inappropriate...
Fraudulent activities are rapidly evolving, employing increasingly diverse and sophisticated methods that pose serious threats to individuals, organizations, and society. This paper proposes the FIST Framework (Fraud Incident Structured Threat Framew...
***Make sure you only deal with authorised firms.*** The UK’s Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has updated its warning list with more **unregulated** and **clone firms** that pose serious risks t...
In a popular YouTube video by the channel Veritasium, the following question is posed: Imagine you have a giant circuit consisting of a battery, a switch, a light bulb, and two wires which are each 300,000 km long. That is the distance that light tra...
We present Neural Memory Object (NeMO), a novel object-centric representation that can be used to detect, segment and estimate the 6DoF pose of objects unseen during training using RGB images. Our method consists of an encoder that requires only a fe...

Box/cabinet scenarios with stacked objects pose significant challenges for robotic motion due to visual occlusions and constrained free space. Traditional collision-free trajectory planning methods often fail when no collision-free paths exist, and m...
