Learning An Interpretable Stylized Subspace For 3d-Aware Animatable Artforms, Chenxi Zheng, Bangzhen Liu, Xuemiao Xu, Huaidong Zhang, Shengfeng He

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Throughout history, static paintings have captivated viewers within display frames, yet the possibility of making these masterpieces vividly interactive remains intriguing. This research paper introduces 3DArtmator, a novel approach that aims to represent artforms in a highly interpretable stylized space, enabling 3D-aware animatable reconstruction and editing. Our rationale is to transfer the interpretability and 3D controllability of the latent space in a 3D-aware GAN to a stylized sub-space of a customized GAN, revitalizing the original artforms. To this end, the proposed two-stage optimization framework of 3DArtmator begins with discovering an anchor in the original latent space that accurately mimics the …

Why Are Fairness Concerns So Important? Lessons From A Last-Mile Transportation System, Yiwei Chen, Hai Wang

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

The Last-Mile Problem refers to the provision of travel service for passengers from the nearest public transportation node to the final destination. The Last-Mile Transportation System (LMTS), which has recently emerged, provides on-demand last-mile transportation service for passengers. We consider an LMTS that consists of two types of passengers, regular-type passengers and special-type passengers (e.g., seniors, disabled people). The valuation of the last-mile service for special-type passengers is statistically higher than the one for regular-type passengers. Passengers incur disutility from waiting for the last-mile service. In this paper, we explore two fairness constraints on special-type passengers: (1) the fare for …

Irrigation And Society In The Upper Río Grande Basin, U.S.A: A Heritage Of Mutualism, José A. Rivera Ph.D

Faculty Publications

The acequias of the upper Río Grande are more than just irrigation canals. They also allocate and manage water for the community of landowners in the system. After four centuries of use, the acequias persist into modern times with their founding principles intact: self-government, local autonomy, internal rules for operating procedures, and a strong sense of mutualismo or communal responsibility. They have endured since Spanish colonial settlement and have maintained continuity of a water culture surviving political-administrative changes under three sovereigns, Spain (1598-1821), Mexico (1821-1848), and the United States (1848-Present). Despite stressors of climate variability, demographic changes, urbanization, and economic …

Regulation Of Artificial Intelligence In Healthcare: Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (Clia) As A Model, Brian R Jackson, Mark P Sendak, Anthony Solomonides, Suresh Balu, Dean F Sittig

Faculty, Staff and Student Publications

Objectives: To assess the potential to adapt an existing technology regulatory model, namely the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA), for clinical artificial intelligence (AI).

Materials and methods: We identify overlap in the quality management requirements for laboratory testing and clinical AI.

Results: We propose modifications to the CLIA model that could make it suitable for oversight of clinical AI.

Discussion: In national discussions of clinical AI, there has been surprisingly little consideration of this longstanding model for local technology oversight. While CLIA was specifically designed for laboratory testing, most of its principles are applicable to other technologies in patient care. …

Neutrosophic Sets and Systems

Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) is one of the most grievous vulnerabilities-a pitfall through which web applications are affected. These types of attacks are complex, and the available threat landscape is always changing, making it hard for conventional security tools to effectively detect or prevent these types of attacks. We present here an approach that detects and prevents XSS attacks on Web pages. Since Neutrosophism works with different kinds of data, it aims at the validity degree of the attack. This way the system understands the different types of attacks and allows the system to act more effectively. Our system combines (1) …

The First Resolution Of The Travelling Salesman Problem Under Neutrosophic Octagonal Fuzzy Environment, Mariem Miledia, Taicir Loukilb, Souhail Dhouiba

Neutrosophic Sets and Systems

The Travelling Salesman Problem (TSP) is a challenging combinatorial optimization problem classified as NP-hard. Its objective is to identify the shortest cycle that visits every city precisely once before returning to the initial city. To the best of our knowledge there is no one in the literature who solved the TSP under the neutrosophic octagonal fuzzy environment. That’s why, in this paper the novel heuristic namely Dhouib-Matrix-TSP1 (DM-TSP1) is exploited to optimize the TSP under the neutrosophic octagonal fuzzy domain. So, this research work represents the first application of DM-TSP1 on this mentioned environment. A defuzzification function is used to …
