Improving Few-Shot Object Detection with Object Part Proposals

Devis Tuia, Marc Conrad Russwurm, Arthur Chevalley

Few-Shot Object Detection (FSOD) allows fast adaptation of an object detection model to new classes of objects using few examples per class. This has many applications, in particular in satellite and aerial observation, as it allows learning from experts w ...

(from) the repertoire : an architectural theory of operations.Oral and embodied knowledge in architectural and spatial practices.

Julien Lafontaine Carboni

How can one construct spatial histories and architectural theories from gestures, words and voices, bodies and minor threads? This research delves into oral and embodied architectural and spatial knowledge as modes of producing buildings, spaces and spatia ...

Cellular Homotopy Excision

Kay Remo Werndli

There is a classical "duality" between homotopy and homology groups in that homotopy groups are compatible with homotopy pullbacks (every homotopy pullback gives rise to a long exact sequence in homotopy), while homology groups are compatible with homotopy ...

Dependent Object Types

Martin Odersky, Nada Amin

We propose a new type-theoretic foundation of Scala and languages like it: the Dependent Object Types (DOT) calculus. DOT models Scala’s path-dependent types, abstract type members and its mixture of nominal and structural typing through the use of reﬁneme ...
