Activated: Decentering activism in and with academia [PDF]

open access: yesCompanion Publication of the 2021 Conference on Computer Supported Cooperative Work and Social Computing, 2021
Who is an activist? With the advent of activism-related scholarship in HCI and CSCW, the current challenge involves thinking about what activism is, who an activist is, and the opportunities and limitations of activism. Recently, researchers in academia and industry, such as Timnit Gebru, demonstrate a commitment to stay activated for the structural ...

Performance Analysis of MVDR Beamformer Applied on an End-fire Microphone Array Composed of Unidirectional Microphones

open access: yesArchives of Acoustics, 2021
Microphone array with minimum variance (MVDR) beamformer is a commonly used method for ambient noise suppression. Unfortunately, the performance of the MVDR beamformer is poor in a real reverberant room due to multipath wave propagation. To overcome this

To Activate or Not to Activate [PDF]

open access: yesCirculation Research, 2013
In a recent study, Watanabe et al identify a novel enhancer in the fgf10 locus that is necessary and sufficient for expression in anterior second heart field. Their results suggest a competitive mechanism in which Isl1 and Nkx2-5 bind the enhancer to activate or repress this enhancer, respectively.

Activate or Not: Learning Customized Activation [PDF]

open access: yes2021 IEEE/CVF Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition (CVPR), 2021
We present a simple, effective, and general activation function we term ACON which learns to activate the neurons or not. Interestingly, we find Swish, the recent popular NAS-searched activation, can be interpreted as a smooth approximation to ReLU. Intuitively, in the same way, we approximate the more general Maxout family to our novel ACON family ...
