Look-Ahead Before You Leap: End-to-End Active Recognition by Forecasting the Effect of Motion

Visual recognition systems mounted on autonomous moving agents face the challenge of unconstrained data, but simultaneously have the opportunity to improve their performance by moving to acquire new views of test data. In this work, we first show how a recurrent neural network-based system may be trained to perform end-to-end learning of motion policies suited for the “active recognition” setti...

Streptokinase for Treatment of Thrombotic Disorders: The End? Or the End of the Beginning?

Thrombotic disorders, such as myocardial infarction, ischemic stroke, peripheral arterial disease, deep venous thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, or other embolic diseases that are responsible for worldwide mortality and morbidity, are manifestations of the formed thrombi by blood clots during a pathologic blood coagulation process. Once thrombi are formed, the only way to resolve the blood clot i...

End of life decisions and quality of care before death.

Invited Commentary-Can We Begin With the End in Mind? End-of-Life Care Preferences Before Long-term Dialysis.

Regional variation in health care intensity and treatment practices for end-stage renal disease in older adults. Hospice, opiates, and acute care service use among the elderly before death from heart failure or cancer. A ligning patients' preferences with the care patients receive at the end of life is a national priority. 1 Although some preferences are common among patients and their families...

Look-ahead before you leap: end-to-end active recognition by forecasting the effect of motion (Supplementary)

This document provides information supplementary to the main paper. Procedure block 1 lists the steps involved in the forward pass during training/inference. Fig 1 provides a detailed schematic diagram explaining the architectures of and connections amongst the modules of our active vision system. Dataset-specific details of training-related choices are provided in Sec 1. Finally, at the end of...
