Insects such as black soldier fly larvae (BSFL) are gaining interest among researchers and the aquafeed industry due to fluctuating price supply of fish meal (FM). This study evaluated growth performance, feed stability, blood biochemistry, liver gut morphology Betta splendens using BSFL an alternative FM. Five formulated diets were prepared: 0% BSFL, 6.5% 13% 19.5% 24.5% BSFL. The expansion ra...

Music information retrieval faces a challenge in modeling contextualized musical concepts formulated by a set of co-occurring tags. In this paper, we investigate the suitability of our recently proposed approach based on a Siamese neural network in fighting off this challenge. By means of tag features and probabilistic topic models, the network captures contextualized semantics from tags via un...

Group living animals may eavesdrop on signalling interactions between conspecifics in order to collect adaptively relevant information obtained from others, without incurring in the costs of first-hand information acquisition. This ability (aka social eavesdropping) is expected to impact Darwinian fitness, and hence predicts the evolution of cognitive processes that enable social animals to use...

In this paper, we present phoneme level Siamese convolutional networks for the task of pair-wise cognate identification. We represent a word as a two-dimensional matrix and employ a siamese convolutional network for learning deep representations. We present siamese architectures that jointly learn phoneme level feature representations and language relatedness from raw words for cognate identifi...

A {0,±1}-matrix S is called a Siamese twin design sharing the entries of I, if S = I +K − L, where I,K,L are non-zero {0, 1}-matrices and both I + K and I + L are incidence matrices of symmetric designs with the same parameters. Let p and 2p−1 be prime powers and p ≡ 3 (mod 4). We describe a construction of a Siamese twin Menon design with parameters (4p, 2p − p, p − p), yielding a Siamese twin...
