Shot and classification is first and foremost step for further analysis of video content . A Shot is defined as a set of frames from a single camera. Processing of video and image facilitates better understanding of the scene that it describe. It is a fundamental component of a number of technologies like video surveillance, robotics etc .A scene is a collection of one or more shots focusing on...

Neurons in cerebral cortex are characterized by a stochastic subthreshold membrane potential (Vm) activity, which originates from the ongoing and irregular activity of neurons in the cortical network. Here, we propose a way of characterizing this network activity by using the notion of shot noise applied to pulse-based kinetic models of synaptic conductances. We link the statistical characteriz...

Prevalent techniques in zero-shot learning do not generalize well to other related problem scenarios. Here, we present a unified approach for conventional zero-shot, generalized zero-shot and few-shot learning problems. Our approach is based on a novel Class Adapting Principal Directions (CAPD) concept that allows multiple embeddings of image features into a semantic space. Given an image, our ...

Fluctuation-dissipation relations, such as Crooks’ Theorem and Jarzynski’s Equality, are powerful tools in quantum and classical nonequilibrium statistical mechanics. We link these relations to a newer approach known as “one-shot statistical mechanics.” Rooted in one-shot information theory, one-shot statistical mechanics concerns statements true of every implementation of a protocol, not only ...

Goat warble-fly infestation is caused by przhevalskiana silenus (Diptra Oestridae) larvae and it is characterized by the presence of warble under the hide of the back and flanks of the animal. This study was carried out from March 2009 to March 2010 on the hides sent to the khorasn leather industries for grading, processing and tanning. This study demonstrated from 340,797 goat hides e...

In basketball, every time the offense produces a shot opportunity the player with the ball must decide whether the shot is worth taking. In this article, I explore the question of when a team should shoot and when they should pass up the shot by considering a simple theoretical model of the shot selection process, in which the quality of shot opportunities generated by the offense is assumed to...
