Separation of CO2 and TFE by using diethanolamine and diisopropylamine

Muhammad Salman, Elia Mercedes Ruiz Pachon

The near-azeotrope mixture of TFE and CO2 is an important concern urging the scientific community to develop new ways for TFE/CO2 separations. In this work, for the first time, Diisopropylamine (DIPA) and Diethanolamine (DEA) are used as solvents for separ ...

Efficient Sample Mining for Object Detection

François Fleuret, Olivier Canévet

We propose a novel approach to efficiently select informative samples for large-scale learning. Instead of directly feeding a learning algorithm with a very large amount of samples, as it is usually done to reach state-of-the-art performance, we have devel ...
