Skeleton-Based Data Augmentation for Sign Language Recognition Using Adversarial Learning by Yuriya Nakamura, Lei Jing

“…In general, data augmentation is used as a solution to the problems but model training and data augmentation are performed independently, and it is difficult to adjust the parameters for data augmentation. Therefore, we focus on visual-based SLR using skeletal data and propose an adversarial learning SLR model called Adversarial Vulnerability-Seeking Networks (AVSN), which jointly trains two independent processes, data augmentation, and machine learning. …”

Analysis of heat waves temporal fluctuation in North - West region of Iran and their relationship with greenhouse gases and global land-ocean temperature anomalies

“…The results of investigating the relationship between frequency and intensity of heat waves with 4 important greenhouse gases, including: (CO2, CH4, N2O, SF6), showed that, except for the positive and significant correlation of carbon dioxide gas with the most severe  heat waves in June, There was no meaningful relationship between them. The results of the Mann-Kendall test indicate an incremental and significant increase in the frequency and intensity of heat wave events in the North-West region of Iran.…”
