GMS-JIGNet: guided multi-scale jigsaw puzzles for self-supervised artificial spot segmentation in fundus photography by Jaehan Joo, Hunyoul Lee, Suk Chan Kim

“…We propose GMS-JIGNet, a self-supervised segmentation framework based on guided multi-scale jigsaw puzzles and contrastive learning, to address this issue. The method learns spatially-aware representations from unlabeled data by solving jigsaw puzzles across multiple resolutions while selectively injecting positional hints for uninformative regions. …”

Vie nocturne animée : moteur ou frein à la gentrification ? Conflit d’usage et enjeux contradictoires dans le quartier de la Magione à Palerme by Hélène Jeanmougin

“…This article, based on two field surveys conducted in 2014 and 2018, proposes to explore the socio-spatials issues linked to the nightlife of the Magione neighborhood, whose gentrification is linked to the arrival of new « citadins-citoyens » inhabitants (Cattedra, Menoli 2000), the idea of a reconquest of a lost territory, and the sharing of moral standards and of good practices respecting the patrimonial «common good». …”

Investigations on higher-order spherical harmonic input features for deep learning-based multiple speaker detection and localization by Nils Poschadel, Stephan Preihs, Jürgen Peissig

“…Abstract In this paper, a detailed investigation of deep learning-based speaker detection and localization (SDL) with higher-order Ambisonics signals is conducted. Different spherical harmonic (SH) input features such as the higher-order pseudointensity vector (HO-PIV), relative harmonic coefficients (RHCs), and the spatially-localized pseudointensity vector (SL-PIV), a feature proposed for the first time as an input feature for deep learning-based SDL, are examined using first- to fourth-order SH signals. …”
