This essay reviews human observer-based methods employed in shark spotting in Muizenberg Beach. It investigates Machine Learning methods for automated shark detection with the aim of enhancing human observation. A questionnaire and interview were used to collect information about shark spotting, the motivation of the a…
Interpreting neural network decisions and the information learned in intermediate layers is still a challenge due to the opaque internal state and shared non-linear interactions. Although (Kim et al, 2017) proposed to interpret intermediate layers by quantifying its ability to distinguish a user-defined concept (from r…
China Vanke Co. faced a hostile takeover by Baoneng Group, sparking controversy.
Who {\em values} life annuities more? Is it the healthy retiree who expects to live long and might become a centenarian, or is the unhealthy retiree with a short life expectancy more likely to appreciate the pooling of longevity risk? What if the unhealthy retiree is pooled with someone who is much healthier and thus f…
Quantizers play a critical role in digital signal processing systems. Recent works have shown that the performance of quantization systems acquiring multiple analog signals using scalar analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) can be significantly improved by properly processing the analog signals prior to quantization. How…
