Interfacing artificial devices with the human brain is the central goal of neurotechnology. Yet, our imaginations are often limited by currently available paradigms and technologies. Suggestions for brain-machine interfaces have changed over time, along wi ...
Quantum computers have demonstrable ability to solve problems at a scale beyond brute-force classical simulation. Interest in quantum algorithms has developed in many areas, particularly in relation to mathematical optimization - a broad field with links t ...
The 2nd edition of this book provides an updated and extended look into the advancements in Virtual Reality and the metaverse. The history and origins of Virtual Reality, crowd simulation and virtual surgery are thoroughly explored. Applications in the cul ...
Detecting learners in need of support is a complex process for both teachers and machines. Most prior work has devised visualization tools that allow teachers to do so by analyzing educational indicators. Other recent efforts have been devoted to models th ...
Semantic segmentation is a well-addressed topic in the computer vision literature, but the design of fast and accurate video processing networks remains challenging. In addition, to run on embedded hardware, computer vision models often have to make compro ...
Succinct non-interactive arguments (SNARGs) enable verifying NP statements with lower complexity than required for classical NP verification. Traditionally, the focus has been on minimizing the length of such arguments; nowadays, researchers have focused a ...
The propagation of fake news is an increasingly serious concern in social platforms, and designing methods to automatically detect them and limit their spread is an important research challenge. Most existing methods rely on inspecting the content of news ...
This work dealt with the assessment of a computational tool to estimate the electrical activation in the left ventricle focusing on the latest electrically activated segment (LEAS) in patients with left bundle branch block and possible myocardial fibrosis. ...
Recent generative adversarial networks (GANs) are able to generate impressive photo-realistic images. However, controllable generation with GANs remains an open research problem. Achieving controllable generation requires semantically interpretable and dis ...
We propose a game-theoretic framework to study the outcomes of packetized payments, a cross-ledger transaction protocol, with strategic and possibly malicious agents. We derive the transaction failure rate and demonstrate that without disciplinary mechanis ...
Critical Thinking (CrT) is generally characterized as an abstract thinking process, detached from the (bodily) actions one engages in during the process. Though recent cognitive theories assert that all thinking is action-based, the embodied and distribute ...
Polarizing filters provide a powerful way to separate diffuse and specular reflection; however, traditional methods rely on several captures and require proper alignment of the filters. Recently, camera manufacturers have proposed to embed polarizing micro ...
