Unsupervised Domain Adaptation Using Exemplar-SVMs with Adaptation Regularization by Yiwei He, Yingjie Tian, Jingjing Tang, Yue Ma

“…However, in many real-world applications, there also exist problems of sample selection bias among instances in a domain; this would reduce the generalization performance of learners. To address this issue, we propose a novel model named Domain Adaptation Exemplar Support Vector Machines (DAESVMs) based on exemplar support vector machines (exemplar-SVMs). …”

Laurence Housman (1865–1959): Fairy Tale Teller, Illustrator and Aesthete by Audrey Doussot

“…But, above all else, his fairy tale collections are among the illustrated books which contributed, at the turn of the century, to creating a golden age of book illustration (critics generally regard the 1890s as “the second golden age of illustration” in Great Britain, after the 1860s), an exceptional period during which illustration finally won acclaim as a newly-recognized art while Art Nouveau was gradually promoting new standards for artistic creation.…”
