Existing instance segmentation methods have achieved impressive performance but still suffer from a common dilemma: redundant representations (e.g., multiple boxes, grids, and anchor points) are inferred for one instance, which leads to duplicated predictions. Thus, mainstream usually rely on hand-designed non-maximum suppression (NMS) post-processing step select the optimal prediction result, ...

The problem of continuous emotion recognition has been the subject several studies. proposed affective computing approaches employ sequential machine learning algorithms for improving classification stage, accounting time ambiguity emotional responses. Modeling and predicting state over is not a trivial because data labeling costly always feasible. This crucial issue in real-life applications, ...

Type classes provide a mechanism for varied implementations of standard interfaces. Many of these interfaces are founded in mathematical tradition and so have regularity not only of types but also of properties (laws) that must hold. Types and properties give strong guidance to the library implementor, while leaving freedom as well. Some of this remaining freedom is in how the implementation wo...

The network management area has some proposals to use XML to encode information models and managed object instances. In this paper we present a solution to dynamically create SNMP to XML proxies using a SAX parser and the translation facilities from the libsmi tools. We also present an analysis system that uses the management information provided by the proxies in XML.
