Real-world scenes always exhibit objects with clutter backgrounds, posing great challenges for deep salient object detection models. In this paper, we propose by engaging two saliency cues, i.e. , the part-whole hierarchies and contrast resulting in a PWHCNet. Specifically, branches, which cons...

Leibniz argues against Descartes’s conception of material substance based on considerations unity. I examine a key premise Leibniz’s argument, what call the Plurality Thesis—the claim that matter (i.e., extension alone) is plurality parts. More specifically, engage an objection to Thesis stemming from Material Monism—the physical world single substance. argue can productively this his view disc...

Part-whole relations are the backbone of configuration systems. In this paper, part-whole relations are combined with other relations and restrictions leading to here-called restricted aggregates. Depending on what is given, aggregates, parts, or/and relations between parts, different tasks have to be solved. General aggregation reasoning chunks are developed and represented with a configuratio...
