Seeing Through Other Eyes: How Language Experience and Cognitive Abilities Shape Theory of Mind by Manali Pathare, Ester Navarro, Andrew R. A. Conway

“…Building on these findings, the current study examined performance on the perspective-taking trials of the Director Task among bilinguals and monolinguals. The results showed a nonsignificant trend in accurate responses as a function of bilingualism; however, a significant effect was found when examining only perspective-taking trials, with bilinguals outperforming monolinguals, suggesting that larger sample sizes are needed to identify this effect. …”

Features of simulation of operator control of unmanned aerial vehicle and its target load by P. I. Savelov, Penghao Gu, A. A. Lobaty

“…The system considers a human operator as a dynamic link that performs compensatory monitoring of the relevant information that is presented on the monitor of the corresponding operator controlling the UAV or its target load in accordance with the task. On the basis of the analysis, a generalized scheme of the UAV control system and its target load is substantiated, a mathematical model of a human operator is studied in the form of a transfer function consisting of five elementary links that take into account the dynamic characteristics of the central nervous system, the delay of the neuromuscular system, the ability of the human operator to smooth random fluctuations of the information presented on the monitor screen received from the telemetry system. …”

Cross-dataset person re-identification method based on multi-pool fusion and background elimination network by Yanfeng LI, Bin ZHANG, Jia SUN, Houjin CHEN, Jinlei ZHU

“…The existing cross-dataset person re-identification methods were generally aimed at reducing the difference of data distribution between two datasets,which ignored the influence of background information on recognition performance.In order to solve this problem,a cross-dataset person re-ID method based on multi-pool fusion and background elimination network was proposed.To describe both global and local features and implement multiple fine-grained representations,a multi-pool fusion network was constructed.To supervise the network to extract useful foreground features,a feature-level supervised background elimination network was constructed.The final network loss function was defined as a multi-task loss,which combined both person classification loss and feature activation loss.Three person re-ID benchmarks were employed to evaluate the proposed method.Using MSMT17 as the training set,the cross-dataset mAP for Market-1501 was 35.53%,which was 9.24% higher than ResNet50.Using MSMT17 as the training set,the cross-dataset mAP for DukeMTMC-reID was 41.45%,which was 10.72% higher than ResNet50.Compared with existing methods,the proposed method shows better cross-dataset person re-ID performance.…”
