Search

Text-based person search aims at retrieving the target person in an image gallery using a descriptive sentence of that person. The core of this task is to calculate a similarity score between the pedestrian image and description, which requires inferring the complex latent correspondence between image sub-regions and textual phrases at different scales. Transformer is an intuitive way to model the complex alignment by its self-attention mechanism. Most previous Transformer-based methods simply concatenate image region features and text features as input and learn a cross-modal representation in a brute force manner. Such weakly supervised learning approaches fail to explicitly build alignment between image region features and text features, causing an inferior feature distribution. In this paper, we present CFLT, Conditional Feature Learning based Transformer. It maps the sub-regions and phrases into a unified latent space and explicitly aligns them by constructing conditional embeddings where the feature of data from one modality is dynamically adjusted based on the data from the other modality. The output of our CFLT is a set of similarity scores for each sub-region or phrase rather than a cross-modal representation. Furthermore, we propose a simple and effective multi-modal re-ranking method named Re-ranking scheme by Visual Conditional Feature (RVCF). Benefit from the visual conditional feature and better feature distribution in our CFLT, the proposed RVCF achieves significant performance improvement. Experimental results show that our CFLT outperforms the state-of-the-art methods by 7.03% in terms of top-1 accuracy and 5.01% in terms of top-5 accuracy on the text-based person search dataset.

As technological, economic, and social factors drive scientific publishing toward electronic formats, opportunities open beyond traditional reading and writing frameworks. Journal articles now, and in the future, can increasingly include a variety of supplemental multimedia and interactive materials for augmented reading that will impact both the nature and presentation of scientific research. The IEEE Computer Society is preparing for this evolution. The first Web extra at http://youtu.be/06J3yg0SV8o is a video that serves as a short abstract of the paper "Augmented Reading: The Present and Future of Electronic Scientific Publications," presented by the two authors with the support of two young promising scientists. The second Web extra at http://youtu.be/86nN1gCMc1E is a video by David Alan Grier (IEEE Computer Society President, 2013) that discusses the Computer Society and its plans for scientific publications. The third Web extra at http://youtu.be/GCCMYR5Zy70 is a video that collects the personal views of Dejan Milosevic (IEEE CS President, 2014), David A. Grier (IEEE CS President, 2013), Sorel Reisman (IEEE CS President, 2012), Jon Rokne (IEEE CS Publications), Fabrizio Lombardi (EIC IEEE Transactions on Emerging Topics in Computing and member of the IEEE CS Board of Governors), and Steve Woods (IEEE CS Senior Manager Multimedia, Production) about the future of scientific publications. The fourth Web extra at http://youtu.be/7cLNV4SNdjY is a video presentation of the multimedia enhancements Computer magazine offers to its readers each month. The fifth Web extra at http://youtu.be/4csCKb685XQ is a video that presents a collection of definitions for the term "supplemental material." The sixth Web extra at http://youtu.be/d7a7XxMT6eY is a video that reviews the announcement from the Journal of Neuroscience that authors can no longer submit supplemental material. The seventh Web extra at http://youtu.be/NMFwLJhv11c is a video in which author Paolo Montuschi summarizes the key concepts of the article "Augmented Reading: The Present and Future of Electronic Scientific Publications".

In this paper, we introduce Noosphere Networked Entry eXtension and Unification System (NNexus), a generalization of the automatic linking engine of Noosphere (at PlanetMath.org) and the first system that automates the process of linking disparate "encyclopedia" entries into a fully connected conceptual network. The main challenges of this problem space include: 1) linking quality (correctly identifying which terms to link which entry to link to with minimal effort on the part of users), 2) efficiency and scalability, a and 3) generalization to multiple knowledge bases and web-based information environment. We present the NNexus approach that utilizes subject classification and other metadata to address these challenges. We also present evaluation results demonstrating the effectiveness and efficiency of the approach and discuss ongoing and future directions of research. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Early studies of electronic journals (e-journals) viewed the web as a technological discontinuity that would deem traditional academic publishing null This article uses the industry life cycle framework as a lens to examine the formation of academic e-journals. The article proposes five factors affecting the academic publishing dominant design selection process, and examines these factors against six longitudinal case studies. The study concludes that from technical/functional, economic and market perspectives, e-journals are superior to paper journals (p journals) However academic social norms and the managerial processes needed to establish and maintain e-journals are more influential on their formation than the capabilities provided by the new technology. In addition, the long-term sustainability and survivability of e-journals depend on the administrative and managerial processes established by its management team. This study demonstrates that although the web enables a large number of new entrants and a variety of business and technical models, e-journals are a competency-enhancing innovation that relies on the existing expertise of professional publishers and the journal's ability to support the social and cultural needs of academia.
