Recently, action proposal methods have played an important role in action recognition tasks, as they reduce the search space dramatically. Most unsupervised action proposal methods tend to generate hundreds of action proposals which include many noisy, inconsistent, and unranked action proposals, while supervised action proposal methods take advantage of predefined object detectors (e.g., human...

Edwards et al provides a good example of the challenge of implementing a mentoring program in one province in a sub-Saharan country. From this example, various aspects of strengthening the cap...

The design of optimal prototype lters for multiresolution signal decomposition is considered. Filters will be optimized with respect to the following quality criteria: a) maximum coding gain of subband coding over PCM; b) minimum approximation error for zonal sampling. Only in the special case of paraunitary systems both criteria are nearly equivalent. As an example for more general systems, th...
