Our research focuses on how Congolese entrepreneurs of small size or informal beginners digest the two concepts (capital and turnover).Knowledge of products and services bet on the market, allows entrepreneurs to take advantage of the best sales conditions.
The belly is an art recognized for a long time, which gave rise to many analyzes, or studies. An effective salesperson (a company) is not only talented, it is someone who has a method in managing the interaction with customers
In the analysis of its two concepts (capital and turnover) by Congolese informal entrepreneurs ; Our problem revolves around the following questions :
Do Congolese informal entrepreneurs or informal traders know the difference between capital and turnover ?
Is there a network or communication channel for informal traders to build their capacity.
Do entrepreneurs have a level required to carry out the commercial activity ?
Considering the way in which the Congolese State does not manage to create jobs for the population and that unemployment at a higher level, and that survival poses a problem for Congolese daily newspapers ; we put forward the hypotheses according to which, informal merchants are unable to make the difference between capital and turnover, there is no network or communication circuit for their reinforcement of capacity, entrepreneurs have a level required.

Abstract Miniprint is one of the print size formats in graphic arts that is not yet very popular in Indonesia. Miniprint format prints in small sizes both matrix and paper. Printing in small sizes is fun. Small format requires patience and technical skill in visualizing the artist's ideas and ideas. Considering that miniprints have many features apart from a small format, they can also be carried everywhere and can also be used as an aesthetic element or room decorator and have good selling power, encouraging the author to hold a workshop or training on making miniprints in the Makmoer Art Project Sukoharjo community. The selection of the training venue in the Makmoer Art Project Community is because this community is indeed engaged in the arts and humanity. A community that always provides free workshops to people in need. Community service methods, problem identification, training and mentoring, evaluation. The works produced in this training after completion are then framed in a minimalist way. The miniprints produced are small-sized works of graphic art, using a matrix of plywood. These works are used as aesthetic elements of the house or as room decoration. Works for the aesthetic element of the house are currently popular among the public so that they have a selling value and can be used as an alternative in entrepreneurship.

Full textAbstract:
This examines the special use of art works as a store of value in Germany during the Third Reich era. Some Jews were able to buy their freedom, as the fascists closed in. Then as the Third Reich fell, some escaping fascists used art works to secure freedom outside of Germany. One of the characteristics of money is a store of value. When confidence in a currency is present, the more conventional form of money takes precedence. A respected, economic form of currency and coin has all three elements of money: medium of exchange, store of value and unit of account. This last trait is especially absent when using various art works as money, as there is no agreed upon unit of account with such different art. Furthermore, art works could not qualify as a medium of exchange, since only a very small amount of the population was involved in this way of dealing in art during the stressed times for the Third Reich.

This article proposes that we add to the small number of Renaissance works on the art of creating or using facetiae an almost unknown De arte iocandi by an almost unknown Mattheus Delius, who died young. The work is a poem in four books, in Ovidian elegiac couplets, obviously inspired by the De arte bibendi of Vincentius Obsopoeus; both works have been assumed to be paradoxical encomia but arein fact seriousalbeit playful compendia of rules. Delius is interested not in the rhetorical use of jokes as weapons, but in something very close to Erasmus's festivitas. The preface by Melanchthon almost qualifies as an independent art of joking, and together they add valuable information to our knowledge of Reformation wit.

ART WORKS Projects (AWP) was born out of desperation. A photo of a small boy who had been murdered in a genocidal attack against civilians in Darfur by a Sudanese government intent upon their eradication led to the formation first of the DARFUR/DARFUR exhibition of large-scale exterior projections and eventually to AWP. The founders, by and large architects, filmmakers, editors, photographers, lawyers, and designers, weren’t naive enough to believe that art can always end genocide (or any other grave human rights abuse), but they knew it impacted them and so they theorized that the same could happen to policymakers, voters, and ultimately, perpetrators.

Full textAbstract:
Sculpture art, as an important carrier of spiritual civilization, also portrays a prosperous scene as an industry with urban and cultural development. Three-dimensional technology offers a new platform for sculpture creation, allowing for the digitization of sculpture works via electronic information technology, and the display of sculpture works in front of people via displays, facilitating the exchange and dissemination of information and promoting the growth and progress of the entire sculpture creation industry. We plan to use digital enhancement technology to conduct small-scale creation experiments on traditional sculpture works, discuss the method of GA (Genetic Algorithm) in image restoration processing, investigate the method of image segmentation processing based on the genetic algorithm, and propose the method of image segmentation processing based on the fuzzy membership surface genetic algorithm, in order to verify and solve the creation difficulties of traditional sculpture works.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of the article. Research and analysis of marketing technology algorithms by means of market segmentation in fine arts marketing. The methodology of the study is to apply comparative, empirical, and theoretical methods. This methodological approach allows us to analyze the processes of segmentation of the fine arts market with the subsequent use of research results in the marketing processes of promoting works of art from artist to consumer. The scientific novelty consists in expanding the notions about the research of marketing processes in the art market. The article establishes that in the second half of the XX century - at the beginning of the XXI century in the art market very actively and effectively were used and are used marketing models and technologies. But professional scientific activity, scientific researches in the field of art market marketing have been conducted and are conducted insufficiently. Therefore, it can be stated that artistic creativity is the area of meticulous attention of large, small, and medium-sized businesses, which, in turn, created the art market, but still has not attracted specialists in this field of sociological, economic, marketing sciences. Scientific, research work on the positioning of works of art aims to determine the main market qualities of works of art, their recognizability for further promotion of works in the markets using advertising and other marketing mechanisms. The main purpose of the article: analysis of the specifics of the realization of classical marketing technologies (marketing researches, positioning of works of fine art) in the marketing of fine arts. Conclusions. The analysis of the problems of using traditional marketing technologies in art marketing carried out in the article gives grounds to state that such technologies are used in the art market, but they differ significantly from other market areas. Besides, due regard should be paid to the effectiveness of marketing technologies in the art market. Note that such traditional marketing technology as marketing researches is insufficiently used in the marketing of fine arts. Technology deserves special attention in art marketing. The technology of positioning works of art and artists deserves special attention in art marketing. The positioning of works of art in the implementation of the marketing approach allows the market to implement such strategies to meet the demand for works of art as: negative demand, lack of demand, latent demand, declining demand, irregular demand, full demand, excessive demand, unwanted demand.

Full textAbstract:
The subject of the study is the works of contemporary St. Petersburg artists of different generations and creative trends, as well as the forms and features of their communication with each other and with the general as well as professional public. The trends of artistic communication in the city are determined by the activities of such institutions as art and non-art museums, art galleries and exhibition centers, which are a classic form of presentation of contemporary art; alternative venues such as creative spaces and art clusters. The field of attention also includes the attraction of St. Petersburg authors to the organization of small artistic associations, mainly art groups, for example, "Unconquered", "North-7", "Parasites", etc. In addition to works of art, theoretical works and reflections by researchers of contemporary art in St. Petersburg and the spaces of its public presentation are involved. The methodological basis is the analysis of the works of St. Petersburg masters of the beginning of the XXI century in the context of the development of urban institutions of artistic communication. The research is based on theoretical works devoted to the problem of artistic communication and trends in the current art process. Comparative-interpretative and typological methods are used to compare the works of artists and forms of artistic communication. The problem of artistic communication in the field of fine art in St. Petersburg is becoming the subject of a separate study. This area of city life is currently developing quite dynamically, as new art associations, curatorial practices and alternative classical platforms for the presentation of the work of authors belonging to different generations and art movements are emerging. Traditional museums and galleries, as well as creative spaces, art clusters and other often non-core institutions, such as libraries and cafes, are involved in this process. Against this background, the features of St. Petersburg artistic communication crystallize, which is characterized by a desire to organize communities, to fuse realistic traditions and current trends, to escapism and symbolism, as well as an interest in oriental themes and stylistics.

Full textAbstract:
Old Russian art and Old Russian philosophy have many similar typological features. Therefore, the consideration of ancient Russian art, from a philosophical point of view, has a certain methodological significance. Old Russian texts can be divided into three groups according to the degree of saturation of their philosophical and aesthetic content. The first group consists of the most serious books, including: “The source of knowledge” by John of Damascus, “Dioptra” by Philip the Hermit, “The logic of Aviasaph” and a number of others. The second group, the most numerous, includes the works of Metropolitan Hilarion, Maxim the Greek, Cyril of Turov, some Apocrypha and other works. The third group includes monuments of business writing. The works of the second group require careful textual study. In addition to monuments of writing, it is important to consider non-verbal sources: monuments of painting, architecture, and small plastic art. In the whole, all of them provide a general yet clear overview of the Old Russian art.

Full textAbstract:
Technology translation can be achieved through the blending of the sciences and arts in the form of digital imagery. Digital animation and video can be utilized to portray molecular events where the mechanism of action is known but the process occurs at a sub-microscopic level. There needs to be a strong collaboration between scientific advisors and digital artists when creating the animation such that the artistic interpretation of the molecular event conforms to the known and accepted confines of science. The finished animation may be used for information, education or persuasion as entrepreneurial biotechnical companies attempt to find markets, customers and investors interested in their inventions. Educational institutions with programs in the sciences, arts, digital media and medicine need to promote the interaction of students from these disciplines through cross-functional teams and courses. Solutions to problems developed by these teams tend to be broader and more comprehensive than more homogeneous teams.

Full textAbstract:
Chapter 11, ‘The World in Sendai’ investigates the types of ‘Western music’ that were actually performed in concerts in Sendai. This is the main theme of. Based on the programmes of local concerts between 1907 and 1921 published in the magazine Ongakukai (World of music), this chapter shows how local concerts, in which different groups came together to perform an eclectic repertoire to a mixed audience, helped transform the people of Sendai into members of a nation within a wider world of nations. The modern institution of the public concert represented a space where Japanese and foreigners met and played and listened to music that was being performed and heard worldwide. The repertoire included a wide range of genres and countries of origin. Together, this variety, and the locations, scenes, and stories evoked by the pieces reveal much that is obscured by the blanket term, ‘Western music’. Works from the narrow canon of the ‘great masters’ of European art music, in fact, represented only a small fraction of what was performed. For example, the programme of a concert in Sendai in February 1916 included the ‘Tipperary Song’, sung by a Japanese high school student. Published in 1912 and first recorded in 1914, the song evokes to this day the image of British Soldiers marching in the First World War. In fact, three months after the Sendai concert, in the naval battle of Jutland, 26 survivors of the wreck of the Tipperary were reportedly recognized and rescued, when they sang, ‘It’s a long, way...’ It is hard to beat this conjunction as an illustration of music’s power as a force of global integration.

This chapter takes up the problem of immoral artists, as well as related questions, like immoral production. When an artist commits great crimes, some are tempted to treat the art itself as though it were also tainted. The question is whether this is the right thing to do. This chapter argues that the question can be approached in two ways. First, the chapter considers the possibility that works by bad artists are in themselves morally bad. It argues that this view is plausible in only a small number of cases. Second, the chapter considers the possibility that communities around bad artists are tainted by the artist’s bad actions. It defends this view against objections. The primary conclusion is that we should not, for the most part, think of works themselves as being moral or immoral because their creators are.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter reflects on Batya Brutin's Holocaust Icons in Art: The Warsaw Ghetto Boy and Anne Frank (2020). This volume documents the engagement of artistic creativity with the photographs of the boy with raised hands in the Warsaw ghetto (1943) and those of Anne Frank. In the six chapters detailing the various ways in which artists from different cultures and countries integrated these iconic figures into their oeuvre, Brutin acquaints the reader with dozens of artists who, at some point in their artistic development, opted to “express their thoughts, emotions and perceptions of the Holocaust.” These artists' works touch on various themes elaborated upon by Brutin: the fate of Jewish children in the Holocaust; personal identification with the iconic figures; their use to represent Jewish identity and universal human situations; their uniqueness; their imaginative connection with the state of Israel; and their “facelessness,” “disappearance,” and “disintegration.” Thus, the photographs have been used for decades by artists to perform a function in their art.

Full textAbstract:
ABSTRACT Postage stamps are small works of art seen by people worldwide that can be used effectively in education. The first paleontological stamp was released by India in 1951. Since then, over 4000 stamps with fossils, paleontologists, museums, and collecting sites have been issued by almost 200 countries. Stamps that illustrate fossils or reconstructions are intrinsically interesting and popular with many of the millions of stamp collectors. All disciplines of paleontology are represented, but dinosaurs are by far the most common subject, although even bacteria appear on a few stamps. Most of the stamps were scientifically accurate at the time they were issued though some artists took artistic liberties to fashion unique stamps. Overall, the stamps are artistic and educational because their small sizes and low cost make them easily accessible for classroom activities, exhibits, and presentations. They cover topics such as biodiversity, geology, ecology, oceanography, and evolution, among others. Paleophilately has provided art, education, joy, and happiness to people worldwide.

Abstract The relatively infrequent depiction of astrolabes in works of art seems disproportionately small in relation to the large amount of instruments that have survived and to the high number of contemporary treatises that discuss the astrolabe. In comparison, its three-dimensional counterparts – the armillary sphere, and the celestial and the terrestrial globe – have experienced wider acclaim from artists throughout the ages. The immediate ornamental and didactic appeal of these other instruments may be responsible for this trend. But also, in a broader sense, the image of the globe and the armillary sphere became a popular visual metaphor for disciplines such as geometry and astronomy, where they are still used until the present day.

In The Logic of Sensation, Gilles Deleuze describes sensation as a domain that lies beneath, over, or inside quotidian vision as if in another dimension of intensive qualitative experience masked by habitual perception. Sensation is also a way of grasping the immanence of philosophy to works of art. The logic of sensation is part and parcel of our world as lived; one might say that sensation is immanent to perceptual experience as force is immanent to matter. In Deleuze’s account of sensation, the plastic arts are less concerned with matter and figuration than they are with force and becoming. Perhaps the problem for both painting and cinema is how to see time and force differently, and to release the figural force of sensation in the image. The chapter continues by investigating the logic of sensation in recent experimental video, primarily Ernie Gehr’s Glider (2001), but also two of the author’s own recent artworks, Waterloo and Plato’s Phaedrus. The chapter concludes with an account of Henri Bergson’s lecture on philosophical intuition to argue that there is a continuous dynamic line that runs between intuition and philosophy, Image and Concept

The two works produced on this occasion can do no more than indicate the beginnings of what was, in process of expression, restrained only because it was all comprehending. With him there was a time for everything. His duty towards music did not distract him from his duty towards life, nor did life distract him from music.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter shows how Art 17 of the Copyright in the Digital Single Market Directive (DSM Directive) contains an inherent bias favouring large right-holders to the prejudice of small creators. It studies the likely trajectories and incentives of the relevant actors and concludes that the licensing model of Art 17 is tailored to the needs of powerful content owners. Only smaller right-holders must monitor the market, review the use of their works by third parties, and approach each online-content sharing service provider separately. The enforcement mechanism of Art 17 has similar effects on amateur creators, who will often have to rely on exceptions to copyright when creating content in distinction to larger units that can typically resort to licensing. Collective licensing could offer a potential solution to alleviate the identified problems in unequal treatment of different types of copyright owners. The chapter discusses these effects from the perspective of the principle of equal treatment, protected under Art 20 of the EU Charter. It argues that, unless Member States resort to legal mechanisms—such as collective licensing—that can better balance competing rights and interests and not discriminate between different actors, the end-result will be unconstitutional.

In ASME 2012 31st International Conference on Ocean, Offshore and Arctic Engineering. American Society of Mechanical Engineers, 2012. http://dx.doi.org/10.1115/omae2012-83561.
Full textAbstract:
After one decade of experimental investigation, the Vortex-Induced Motion – VIM phenomenon deserves a comprehensive survey concerning the advances related to its understanding, mainly under the consideration of the fundamental aspects that keep it in a close relationship to the dynamic behavior of the same phenomenon acting on slender bodies, the well known Vortex-Induced Vibration – VIV. A considerable amount of results can be found in the literature, although there are few works dealing with a general view of the problem. Probably, the main reason for such a large amount of works with no interaction between themselves and, consequently, without a common understanding about VIM might be due to its technological origin, featured by huge platforms with a variety of geometrical details, which ends up placing the researches more on the field of the faithful reproduction of the features in small-scale and less on the global understanding of the phenomenology regardless the floating system, e.g. a spar platform, a monocolumn or even a semi-submersible or a tension-leg platform. Obviously, no one should disagree that there is part of the research that must keep a faithful relationship with the full scale, however, in most of them it is possible to identify the common fundamentals concerning the fluid-structural interaction. The aim of the present work is to address a comprehensive evaluation of the experimental investigations during the past decade on the VIM, trying to gather a general understanding about its phenomenology including some comparisons to VIV. As a result, some relevant aspects are pointed out for a more prospective way of research.

The themes of the author’s sculptural mini-compositions by V. Shvetsov: rural nature (forest, river, rainbow); village themes from the artist’s childhood; themes of motherhood, love (“Two”), Petersburg (“Petersburg moods”, “White Nights”). Performed sincerely, soulfully, the works evoke in the audience emotional response from the audience, as well as pleasant associations and personal memories. The study has a novelty as its materials are original and are offered for publication for the first time, continuing a number of examples of author’s souvenirs presented at previous conferences (2020 – “Author’s series of the Art Souvenir wooden sculpture compositions”; 2021 – “Author’s New Year pictures by K. O. Pochtennaya as unique souvenirs”; 2022 – “Yalta landscape as author’s souvenir with a view”). The results and methods of the study can be useful in art criticism for the analysis of specific phenomena in culture and art, as well as new genre formations.

Abstract In induction heating process, coils and inductors are the core of the heating process. They are the end tool where the magnetic process affecting the part or material to be heated occurs. For more than a century, the dominant manufacturing process has been based, mainly, upon joining technologies where the coppersmith skill has been the safeguard of the quality. Use of fixtures, mandrels, and machined parts have improved the repeatability and quality of the produced elements but high volume, dimensional repeatability has always been source of problems. GH Induction continuously works on the improvement of such relatively artisanal methods to allow better lifetime, minimized production time and overall better quality. Following a first development work bringing a patented innovation in 2011 using a precision casting solution (Microfusion – Wax casting), with a solution provided a single piece coil, GH Induction has, after 2 years of development, patented a new additive manufacturing solution (3D printing concept) based on the use of Electron Beam Melting (EBM). The EBM solution benefits from the latest technology in additive manufacturing, both technologies present tremendous advantages for the designer and user. Complex shape, very small inductors can be manufactured, which are impossible to do with standard method. This presentation and article summarized the concept, manufacturing principle and technical benefits that the final users can have using such innovative solutions.

Full textAbstract:
The LINK conference emerged from reflections and concerns that we always had about our own actions as educators, researchers, and practitioners in the field of Art and Design. Over the years, we have noticed that such concerns have not disappeared. On the contrary: they have multiplied, diversified, and become more complex. The more we dialogued with people worldwide, especially from the socalled “Global South”, the more we realised that these same issues were also dear to our colleagues, albeit with their own colours and contours. This is the LINK that unites us. The first step was taken as a small in-person event for guests, held in 2019 at the AUT’s South Campus in Manukau. At that time, there was no intention of organising an annual conference. The magnitude of the issues raised seemed to have a particular inhibiting effect on the incompleteness of the conference itself, considering the potential for the rich and fruitful exchange of ideas. Despite, or perhaps precisely because of the difficulties and adversities, this new scenario compelled us to move forward. The second edition of LINK, carried out in a hybrid way in 2020, expanded the quantity, diversity and quality of the works presented. Emerging themes, new epistemologies, and the multiple relationships between theory and practice (if such a distinction can be made) have consolidated as a sort of amalgam of LINK’s main issues. It covers, in a transversal and interdisciplinary way, arguably the entire field of Arts and Design. These discussions expanded beyond the event, and a special issue with 13 articles was published in the DAT Journal in 2021. At this moment, our doubts and uncertainties gave way to the commitment to promote a better event in each new edition. Furthermore, this commitment is only possible thanks to a team that is both dedicated and passionate about this purpose that unites us. Later that year, the Covid-19 pandemic began to spread across the world. In a short time, uncertainty gave way to millions of people’s anguish, suffering, and pain. At the same time, many ideas, beliefs, and values are starting to be reconsidered, bringing new challenges for a new era. Science, the construction of knowledge, and the University itself have a paradigmatic role in this moment of transformation and the search for the construction of a better world. Research changes the world. LINK’s community is constated by researchers to leverage parameters to activate different ways in which practice can create knowledge. They are based on cultural, geographic, and ideological positions shaped by the communitarian and the glocal. Thus, in offering these practice-oriented research considerations, we propose that we can learn “from” rather than “about”. This feeling emanates from recognising that the peculiar stories that generate social and artistic practices form dialogic encounters with voices on the periphery of authority and loop an iterative process to generate their own theoretical foundations.

Pedestrian attributes recognition is to predict attribute labels of pedestrian from surveillance images, which is a very challenging task for computer vision due to poor imaging quality and small training dataset. It is observed that semantic pedestrian attributes to be recognised tend to show semantic or visual spatial correlation. Attributes can be grouped by the correlation while previous works mostly ignore this phenomenon. Inspired by Recurrent Neural Network (RNN)'s super capability of learning context correlations, this paper proposes an end-to-end Grouping Recurrent Learning (GRL) model that takes advantage of the intra-group mutual exclusion and inter-group correlation to improve the performance of pedestrian attribute recognition. Our GRL method starts with the detection of precise body region via Body Region Proposal followed by feature extraction from detected regions. These features, along with the semantic groups, are fed into RNN for recurrent grouping attribute recognition, where intra group correlations can be learned. Extensive empirical evidence shows that our GRL model achieves state-of-the-art results, based on pedestrian attribute datasets, i.e. standard PETA and RAP datasets.

Full textAbstract:
3D grasp synthesis generates grasping poses given an input object. Existing works tackle the problem by learning a direct mapping from objects to the distributions of grasping poses. However, because the physical contact is sensitive to small changes in pose, the high-nonlinear mapping between 3D object representation to valid poses is considerably non-smooth, leading to poor generation efficiency and restricted generality. To tackle the challenge, we introduce an intermediate variable for grasp contact areas to constrain the grasp generation; in other words, we factorize the mapping into two sequential stages by assuming that grasping poses are fully constrained given contact maps: 1) we first learn contact map distributions to generate the potential contact maps for grasps; 2) then learn a mapping from the contact maps to the grasping poses. Further, we propose a penetration-aware optimization with the generated contacts as a consistency constraint for grasp refinement. Extensive validations on two public datasets show that our method outperforms state-of-the-art methods regarding grasp generation on various metrics.

I developed an augmented reality system based on Hough transform to transcend limitations of popular Augmented Reality libraries such as ArUco. The purpose of the system is to project a digital image on to a real canvas, merging digital and traditional artistic media for ease of art production and practice. The technological challenges were identified in fiducial marker based prototype and overcome in the Hough transform based system are as follows: need for a printed marker, imprecision and weakness to occlusion. The developed software based on Hough transform works with any standard sheet of paper (A4, A3 formats). The system projects a photograph directly on to canvas or paper and automatically rotates and fits the image within the canvas. It is also resistant to occlusion, such as a hand on top of the canvas or canvas that is not fully within the frame. Resistance to small scale noise is achieved thought Hough transform and large occlusions are overcome by a line averaging algorithm. The software has shown 14% better performance than analogical ArUco library based software.

HP turbine usually works in complex operation conditions and subjects to strong temperature variability and thermal gradients. For these reasons, some small variations caused by manufacturing process and operation conditions will yield great effect on the heat transfer performance and the life of hot components. UQ is a state of the art that seeks to provide a framework for calculating the effects of input parameter uncertainty on model output variables. This study presents an investigation of the uncertainty quantification (UQ) of conjugate heat transfer of a typical high load HP cooled turbine vane, considering the influence of total inlet temperature, turbulence intensity and different surface roughness level. The non-intrusive Probabilistic Collocation Method, integrated with sparse grid quadrature has been used in the UQ analysis. The scaled sensitivity analysis is also carried out to assess the influence of each input uncertainty on the output response. The UQ analysis implies that the increasing of surface roughness will enlarge uncertainty of metal wall temperature. As a result, it needs to amplify the safety margin coefficient in order to assess the turbine guide vane surface temperature distribution and service life.

Full textAbstract:
Zero-shot learning (ZSL) is a recently emerging research topic which aims to build classification models for unseen classes with knowledge from auxiliary seen classes. Though many ZSL works have shown promising results on small-scale datasets by utilizing a bilinear compatibility function, the ZSL performance on large-scale datasets with many classes (say, ImageNet) is still unsatisfactory. We argue that the bilinear compatibility function is a low-rank approximation of the true compatibility function such that it is not expressive enough especially when there are a large number of classes because of the rank limitation. To address this issue, we propose a novel approach, termed as High-rank Deep Embedding Networks (GREEN), for ZSL with many classes. In particular, we propose a feature-dependent mixture of softmaxes as the image-class compatibility function, which is a simple extension of the bilinear compatibility function, but yields much better results. It utilizes a mixture of non-linear transformations with feature-dependent latent variables to approximate the true function in a high-rank way, which makes GREEN more expressive. Experiments on several datasets including ImageNet demonstrate GREEN significantly outperforms the state-of-the-art approaches.

Full textAbstract:
In developing countries like Timor-Leste, regular road condition monitoring is a significant subject not only for maintaining road quality but also for a national plan of road network construction. The sophisticated equipment for road surface inspection is so expensive that it is difficult to introduce them in developing countries, and the monitoring is usually achieved by manual operation. On the other hand, the utilization of ICT devices such as smartphones has gained much attention in recent years, especially in developing countries because the penetration rate of the smartphone is remarkably increasing even in developing countries. The smartphones equip various high precision sensors, i.e., accelerometers, gyroscopes, GPS, and so on, in the small body in low price. In this project, we are developing an integrated road condition monitoring system that consists of smartphones, dashcams, and a server. There are similar trials in advanced countries but not so many in developing countries. This system assumes to be used in developing countries. The system is very low cost and does not require trained specialists in the field side. The items that are automatically inspected in this system were carefully selected with the local ministry of public works and include paved and unpaved classification, road roughness, road width, detection and size estimation of potholes, bumps, etc., at present. All the inspected items are visualized in Google Maps, Open Street Map, or QGIS with GPS information. The survey results are collected on a server and updated to more accurate values by the repeated surveys. On the analysis, we use several state-of-the-art machine learning and deep learning techniques. In this paper, we summarize related works and introduce this project’s target and framework, which especially focused on the developing countries, and achievements of each of our tasks.
