Successful multi-object tracking requires consistently maintaining object identities and real-time performance. This task becomes more challenging when objects are indistinguishable from one another. This paper presents a Bayesian framework for maintaining the identities of multiple objects. Our semi-independent joint motion model (SIMM) solves the coalescence and identity switching problem in ...

On most current websites untrustworthy or spammy identities are easily created. Existing proposals to detect untrustworthy identities rely on reputation signals obtained by observing the activities of identities over time within a single site or domain; thus, there is a time lag before which websites cannot easily distinguish attackers and legitimate users. In this paper, we investigate the fea...

π = r arctan x where r and x are rational and |x | < 1 is small. Such an identity would require only one evaluation of the arctangent function and this evaluation would converge quickly. However, identities of this form do not exist and this fact is not mentioned in the literature alongside lists of such multiple-angle identities. The present article gives a very natural proof of this fact usin...

Identities about the wordlength patterns of regular s designs and their complementary designs are established through a first-order differential equation satisfied by a structure function. The identities are then generalized to s designs with multiple groups of factors. An advantage of using the structure function and partial differential equation is that it can easily adapt to some structural ...

The average person today is required to create and separately manage multiple online identities in heterogeneous online accounts. Their integration would enable a single entry point for the management of a person’s digital personal information. Thus, we target the extraction, retrieval and integration of these identities, using a comprehensive ontology framework serving as a standard format. A ...

This study examines how the valence of cultural cues in the environment moderates the way biculturals shift between multiple cultural identities. The authors found that when exposed to positive cultural cues, biculturals who perceive their cultural identities as compatible (high bicultural identity integration, or high BII) respond in culturally congruent ways, whereas biculturals who perceive ...

In two studies drawing from social identity theory and the creative-cognition approach, we found that higher levels of identity integration—perceived compatibility between two social identities—predict higher levels of creative performance in tasks that draw on both identity-relevant knowledge domains. Study 1 showed that Asian Americans with higher identity integration were more creative in de...

We give a Chowla-Selberg type formula that connects a generalization of the eta-function to GL(n) with multiple gamma functions. We also present some simple infinite product identities for certain special values of the multiple gamma function.

In this article, I examine the practice of storytelling in a transplant support group, investigating how individuals’ participation in storytelling activities allowed them to coconstruct collective and individual identities. The sequential ordering and contexts of the storytelling activities in the support group meetings suggest that both the speakers and audience strategically negotiated the m...

the processes of cultural transformation in britain in the second half of the 20th century, the fall of the empire, immigration from former colonies and the expansion of the multiculturalism, have influenced new ways of looking at the conceptions of identity of diasporic subjects within britain. examining these experiences, diasporic novelists write about the second generation immigrants in con...
