By Mikayla Brown Introduction Over the past few years, conversations regarding the global repatriation of cultural artifacts have garnered substantial attention. These discussions have ignited debates throughout Western nations, focusing on the topics of repatriation and restitution as crucial components to confront and address the legacies of colonialism. Among these debates is the ...

ABSTRACT: Acid/base chemistry is an intriguing topic that still constitutes a challenge for computational chemistry. While estimating the acid dissociation constant (or pKa) could shed light on many chemistry processes, especially in the fields of biochemistry and geochemistry, evaluating the relative stability between protonated and nonprotonated species is often very di ffi cult. Indeed, a ...

NARS (Non-Axiomatic Reasoning System) is an AGI system designed in the framework of a reasoning (or inference) system, where the notion of “reasoning” is used in its broad sense to include many cognitive functions, including learning and perception (Wang, 1995, 2006, 2013). Perception, usually taken to mean sensory understanding, is highly relevant to AI. Perception and cognition are ...

ABSTRACT Serendipity recommendation has attracted more and more atten-tion in recent years; it is committed to providing recommendations which could not only cater to users’ demands but also broaden their horizons. However, existing approaches usually measure user-item relevance with a scalar instead of a vector, ignoring user preference direction, which increases the risk of unrelated ...

Abstract More and more images have been generated in digital form around the world. There is a growing interest in 1nding images in large collections or from remote databases. In order to 1nd an image, the image has to be described or represented by certain features. Shape is an important visual feature of an image. Searching for images using shape features has attracted much attention. There ...

If the publication decisions of journals are a function of the statistical significance of re-search findings, the published literature may suffer from “publication bias.” This paper describes a method for detecting publication bias. We point out that to achieve statisti-cal significance, the effect size must be larger in small samples. If publications tend to be biased against ...

Abstract—It is challenging to characterize the intrinsic geom-etry of high-degree algebraic curves with lower-degree algebraic curves. The reduction in the curve’s degree implies lower com-putation costs, which is crucial for various practical computer vision systems. In this paper, we develop a characteristic mapping (CM) to recursively degenerate 3n points on a planar curve of nth order ...

In fact, soon after children become able to appreciate symbolic representations at all (for an overview),27 3-year-old children can use a small representation of the sandbox to locate toys buried in the sandbox.28 Initially, nding hidden fi objects using a map or model is harder than placing visible objects in accord with a map or model, but ...
