Comprehensive Style Transfer for Facial Images Using Enhanced Feature Attribution in Generative Adversarial Nets by Yongseon Yoo, Seonggyu Kim, Jong-Min Lee

“…We propose a novel framework that enhances style transfer by combining AdaIN with Gram matrices, leveraging the complementary strengths of both approaches. Our method introduces two key innovations for enhanced feature attribution: 1) dual Gram matrix-based loss functions (G1 and G2), which operate at different stages of the generation process to capture richer style information by establishing deeper correlations between feature maps, and 2) a balanced training objective that integrates perceptual loss with cycle-consistency loss to maintain content fidelity during style transfer. …”

Equilibria (equilibrium states) problem statement for city transport systems by I. E. Agureev, A. V. Akhromeshin, V. A. Pyshnyi

“…Within the framework of the work, the following tasks were solved: a description of the structural levels of the objects of the road network and the centers of mass gravity as the main components of the model of transport systems was developed; the formulation of problems about the equilibrium states of transport systems at the corresponding structural levels was developed; the analysis of the obtained methodology was performed; a methodological analogy is established between different subsets of states at the same structural level, for example, between the centers of mass gravity and elements of the road network as objects of modeling by methods of the theory of macrosystems (this analogy can be extended to other subsets of states in transport systems, for example, types of transport systems, travel purposes, parking spaces, subsystems of the intelligent transport system and much more).…”
