The past year saw the introduction of new architectures such as Highway networks (Srivastava et al., 2015a) and Residual networks (He et al., 2015) which, for the first time, enabled the training of feedforward networks with dozens to hundreds of layers using simple gradient descent. While depth of representation has been posited as a primary reason for their success, there are indications that...

On the occasion of his 1997 Bernoulli Lecture at Groningen University (The Netherlands), Sir David Cox exercised his usual wit to propose consideration of 14 cryptic issues on the nature of statistical inference. A group of scholars (Kardaun et al., 2002) formulated some sort of commmunis opino on these matters from a traditional, mostly frequentist, viewpoint. In a somewhat telegraphic style, ...

among the questions under consideration on the subject of the influence of qur'an over the shaping of literary sciences, is the subject of the influence of qur'an over the shaping of lexicography. in this case, two distinct viewpoints have been explained: the first viewpoint is that the source of all lexicographic studies is undoubtedly the very qur'an, and the second viewpoint i...

This paper presents a novel method for detection of image interest regions called Structure Guided Salient Regions (SGSR). Following the information theoretic route to saliency detection, we extend Kadir et al.’s Salient Region detector by exploiting image structure information. The detected SGSRs are highly distinct and very selective. For planar scenes, their performance on repeatability test...

Computation of good viewpoints is important in several fields: computational geometry, visual servoing, robot motion, graph drawing, etc. In addition, selection of good views is rapidly becoming a key issue in computer graphics due to the new techniques of Image Based Rendering. Although there is no consensus about what a good view means in Computer Graphics, the quality of a viewpoint is intui...
