Combating Human Trafficking with Deep Multimodal Models

Combating Illegal Organ Transplantation Under International Human Rights Law

Despite the fact that the concepts of organ transplantation and organ trafficking seem two completely distinct categories at first glance, sometimes they overlap with each other. This is especially in cases in which organ transplantation occurs from one country to another and for a financial exchange. There are two general indicators for determining the distinction between organ transplantation...

Deep Multimodal Hashing with Orthogonal Units

Hashing is an important method for performing efficient similarity search. With the explosive growth of multimodal data, how to learn hashing-based compact representations for multimodal data becomes highly non-trivial. Compared with shallowstructured models, deep models present superiority in capturing multimodal correlations due to their high nonlinearity. However, in order to make the learne...

International Human Trafficking: Critical Appraisal of Strength and Weaknesses of Nigeria’s Legal Frameworks

Nigeria has been facing the immense challenge of international trafficking in persons for sexual exploitation and forced labor into countries in Europe, Asia and Africa. Being an international criminal activity driven by high profits, Nigeria's adoption of a regulatory policy is expressed in the series of legal provisions to deal with the army of traffickers. In desperation, within a space of 1...
