Content-aware image resizing based on random-carving with probability by Ying-chun GUO, Jun-teng HOU, Ming YU, Rui-li WANG

“…To improve the running speed of image resizing,a fast content-aware image resizing algorithm was proposed based on the threshold learning and random-carving with probability.Firstly the important map was calculated by combining the graph-based visual saliency map and gradient map.Then the image threshold value was obtained by radial basis function (RBF) neural network learning.And by the threshold,the original image was separated into the protected part and the unprotected part which was corresponding to the important part and the unimportant part of the original image individually.Finally,the two parts were allocated different resizing scales and the random-carving with probability was applied to them respectively.Experiments results show that the proposed algorithm has lower time cost comparing to the state-of-arts algorithms in MSRA image database,and has a better visual perception on image resizing.…”

Sol LeWitt. The Conceptuality of Drawing by Paolo Belardi

“… Two significant faxes can be found in the archive of the ‘Pietro Vannucci’ Academy of Fine Arts in Perugia: they are worthy of note both because they are signed by two well-known personalities (Sol LeWitt and Bruno Corà) and because they markedly represent a genuine manifesto which is theoretically capable of healing the fracture that traditionally separates architecture and art history in matters of drawing intended as a form of thought. …”

A survey of federated learning for 6G networks by Guanglei GENG, Bo GAO, Ke XIONG, Pingyi FAN, Yang LU, Yuwei WANG

“…It is an important feature of the 6G that how to realize everything interconnection through large-scale complex heterogeneous networks based on native artificial intelligence (AI).Thanks to the distinct machine learning architecture of data processing locally, federated learning (FL) is regarded as one of the promising solutions to incorporate distributed AI in 6G scenarios, and has become a critical research direction of 6G.Therefore, the necessity of introducing distributed AI into the future 6G especially for internet of things (IoT) scenarios was analyzed.And then, the potentials of FL in meeting the 6G requirements were discussed, and the state-of-the-arts of FL related technologies such as architecture design, resource utilization, data transmission, privacy protection, and service provided for 6G were investigated.Finally, several key technical challenges and potential valuable research directions for FL-empowered 6G were put forward.…”
