Pre-trained language models are increasingly important components across multiple information retrieval (IR) paradigms. Late interaction, introduced with the ColBERT model and recently refined in ColBERTv2, is a popular paradigm that holds state-of-the-...

Efficient and robust retrieval of commercial videos is an important topic for many applications such as commercial monitoring, market investigation. In this paper, we propose a two-step scheme to optimally incorporate the information of both visual and ...

This paper presents Dynamic Attention Map by Ising model for face detection. In general, a face detector can not know where faces there are and how many faces there are in advance. Therefore, the face detector must search the whole regions on the image ...

The Hausdorff distance is a measure defined between two point sets, here representing a model and an image. The Hausdorff distance is reliable even when the image contains multiple objects, noise, spurious features, and occlusions. In the past, it has been ...

In evolutionary game theory, the central solution concept is the evolutionarily stable state, which also can be interpreted as an evolutionarily stable population strategy (ESS). As such, this notion is a refinement of the Nash equilibrium concept in ...
