Fast Visual Tracking with Enhanced and Gradient-Guide Network by Dun Cao, Renhua Dai

“…Firstly, we adopt the lightweight ResNet-34 as the backbone to improve the proposed tracker’s speed by reducing the computational complexity, and then, to compensate for the performance loss caused by the lightweight backbone, we embed the SKNet from the attention mechanism to filter out the valueless features, and finally, we utilize the gradient-guide strategy to update the template timely. …”

Considérations ontogénétiques et phylogénétiques concernant l’origine de la parole by Louis-Jean Boë, Jean Granat, Jean-Louis Heim, Jean-Luc Schwartz, Pierre Badin, Guillaume Barbier, Guillaume Captier, Antoine Serrurier, Nicolas Kielwasser

“…We analyzed 31 skulls from now to 1.5 Ma (millions years) BP (Before Present) for fossil hominids available at the Muséedel’Homme in Paris or in the literature: (1) 10-30 ka BP: modern humans: Paleolithic; (2) 90-200 ka BP: anatomically modern humans; (3) 45-90 ka BP: Neanderthals; (4) 1.5 Ma BP: Homoergaster; These skulls are all well kept and possess a jaw in the majority of cases but the vertebral column has been reconstituted. We attempt to: (1) Localize hyoid bone and then glottis position; (2) Reconstitute a vocal tract model in a plausible way using an articulatory model; (3) Quantify the acoustic capabilities of this reconstituted vocal tract. …”
