Parameter-efficient weakly supervised referring video object segmentation via chain-of-thought reasoning by Xing Wang, Zhe Xu, Yuanshi Zheng, Handing Wang

“…To update the adapter parameters under weak supervision, instead of directly fuse the video and sentence-level language features, we propose chain-of-thought reasoning to consider the intermediate steps along the thought process. Extensive experiments demonstrate that training the adapter with 1.1% of total parameters can outperform previous weakly supervised methods by 11.6 $$-$$ - 15.3 mAP and achieve comparable performance with fully supervised ones.…”

Development of a territory-wide household-based composite index for measuring relative distribution of households by economic status in individual small areas throughout Hong Kong by Eva L.H. Tsui, Philip L.H. Yu, K. F. Lam, Kelvin K.Y. Poon, Adam C.M. Ng, K. Y. Cheung, Winnie Li, Michael L.H. Leung, David H.Y. Lam, James L.Y. Cheng, Sharon P.W. Ng

“…Our composite index comprises seven variables under income-/wealth-related and housing-related domains with weights determined using the analytic hierarchy process. After ranking all households from the most to the least well-off according to the numeric/ordinal value of each variable and then calculating their weighted rank scores, they were segregated into ten deciles from D1 (top 10% most well-off) to D10 (bottom 10%). …”
