Abstract:
This paper presents a supervised learning scheme that employs key-frame extraction to enhance the performance of pre-trained deep learning models for object detection in surveillance videos. Developing supervised deep learning models requires a significant amount of annotated video frames as training data, which demands substantial human effort for preparation. Key frames, which encompass frames containing false negative or false positive objects, can introduce diversity into the training data and contribute to model improvements. Our proposed approach focuses on detecting false negatives by l

Abstract Organized rape in armed conflict is one of the most serious violations of human rights, which creates a clear crisis in the identity of the other party and solidifies the sense of bitterness of defeat. Rape in armed conflicts is thus different from that of others, which can have a negative impact on social and international peace and security. Conservative and racially conservative societies are also affected by systematic organized gang rape, which occurs systematically from parties to a non-international armed conflict or within the policy of the aggressor State in the event of an i

Abstract:
This paper investigates the effects of estate taxation when firms cannot directly observe worker skill levels. Imperfect labor market signaling gives rise to an information externality that causes workers to free-ride off of others’ human capital acquisition. Inherited wealth exacerbates the information externality because risk averse workers with larger inheritances exert less effort to acquire skills. By reducing these inheritances, an estate tax induces greater skill acquisition effort and increases the number of skilled workers. In a quantitative model with employer learning and capital ac

Abstract A disaster is an event or series of events which threaten and disrupt the human lives. The studies of disaster are constantly considered related to humans because humans act as the causative factor, victim and at the same time the executant of the effort in disaster handling. Pioneered by Gilbert White and pursued by other experts, human geography later shows the roles in examining issues in disaster studies especially in disaster mitigation. Based on several research and notions, many experts in human geography agree that there is nothing natural in natural disaster. Although the dis

Reducing the human effort performed with the use of interactive-predictive neural machine translation (IPNMT) systems is one of the main goals in this sub-field of machine translation (MT). Prior works have focused on changing the human–machine interaction method and simplifying the feedback performed. Applying confidence measures (CM) to an IPNMT system helps decrease the number of words that the user has to check through the translation session, reducing the human effort needed, although this supposes losing a few points in the quality of the translations.

This work addresses the problem of planning a robot configuration and grasp to position a shared object during forceful human-robot collaboration, such as a puncturing or a cutting task.

Abstract Modern medical technology offers potential for the automatic generation of datasets that can be fed into deep learning systems. However, even though raw data for supporting diagnostics can be obtained with manageable effort, generating annotations is burdensome and time-consuming. Since annotating images for semantic segmentation is particularly exhausting, methods to reduce the human effort are especially valuable. We propose a combined framework that utilizes unsupervised machine learning to automatically generate segmentation masks. Experiments on two biomedical datasets show that

The human effort in large-scale web data extraction significantly affects both the extraction flexibility and the economic cost. Our work aims to reduce the human effort required by web data extraction tasks in three specific scenarios. (I) Data demand is unclear, and the user has to guide the wrapper induction by annotations. To maximally save the human effort in the annotation process, wrappers should be robust, i.e., immune to the webpage's change, to avoid the wrapper re-generation which requires a re-annotation process.

Physical interaction with tools is ubiquitous in functional activities of daily living. While tool use is considered a hallmark of human behavior, how humans control such physical interactions is still poorly understood.

In this paper, we tested if this notion holds true for motor tasks that involve physical interaction. Specifically, we investigated whether humans minimize muscle forces to control physical interaction with a circular kin

Abstract:
Are international human rights treaties associated with better rights performance? The appetite for a conclusive answer has driven a number of large scale quantitative studies that have broadly shown little or no effect, and sometimes even a backsliding. However, the headline conclusions belie much more complicated findings, and the research methods used are controversial. These issues undermine confidence in the findings. Comparative and individual case studies allow for more detailed information about how domestic human rights activists use international human rights laws in practice. They t

Abstract:
Much of recent human development has come at the expense of Nature - undermining ecosystems, fragmenting habitats, reducing biodiversity, and increasing our exposure and vulnerability to emerging diseases. For example, as we push deeper into tropical forests, and convert more land to agriculture and human settlements, the rate at which people encounter new pathogens that may trigger the next public health, social and economic crisis, is likely to increase. Expanding and strengthening our understanding of the links between nature and human health is especially important in Africa, where nature

Abstract:
Approaches integrating environmental management practices have been gaining importance in recent years. Sustainable Land Management (SLM), Ecosystem-based Adaptation (EbA), Ecosystem-based disaster Risk Reduction (Eco-DRR) and Nature-based Solutions (NbS) are widely applied approaches that tackle certain drivers of challenges such as food insecurity, water scarcity, decline in biodiversity and threats to livelihoods, while also considering both human well-being and ecosystem functions and services. Better understanding the similarities, differences and relationships between these approaches he
