Deconstructing Bataknese Gorga Computationally

Torbangun (Coleus amboinicus Lour): a Bataknese traditional cuisine perceived as lactagogue by Bataknese lactating women in Simalungun, North Sumatera, Indonesia.

Torbangun (Coleus amboinicus Lour) has been used as a breast milk stimulant (a lactagogue) by Bataknese people in Indonesia for hundreds of years. However, the traditional use of torbangun is not well documented, and scientific evidence is limited to establish coleus as a lactagogue. This Focus Group Discussion (FGD) study was conducted to gather information regarding the practice and cultural ...

Deconstructing Binary Classifiers in Computer Vision

This paper further develops the novel notion of deconstructive learning and proposes a practical model for deconstructing a broad class of binary classifiers commonly used in vision applications. Specifically, the problem studied in this paper is: Given an image-based binary classifier C as a black-box oracle, how much can we learn of its internal working by simply querying it? To formulate and...
