FaceIt: Real‐Time On‐Device Identity‐Preserving Portrait Animation
Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.A real‐time, on‐device algorithm for animating a single portrait image using detailed facial expressions and motions from a driving video achieving visual quality that can outperform even techniques with significantly higher computational overhead. Abstract Recently, significant progress has been made in generating expressive and temporally coherent ...

Phong‐Rodrigues Extrinsic Vector‐Field Processing
Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.Abstract We introduce a new extrinsic discretization of tangent vector fields on triangle meshes that is continuous, with bounded derivatives that are continuous almost everywhere, supporting pointwise evaluation and integration of differential operators.

On Bending in the As‐Rigid‐As‐Possible Deformation Energy
Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.Abstract The well‐established As‐Rigid‐As‐Possible (ARAP) energy has various forms. For surface deformation, commonly used energies contain an implicit bending penalty. We present a natural, continuous generalization that incorporates multiple ARAP versions with an implicit, user‐controllable bending penalty.

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.Abstract We propose a novel framework for the statistical modeling and analysis of the spatio‐temporal shape variability in articulated 4D (i.e., 3D + time) shapes such as human bodies and animals. We treat articulated 3D shapes, represented using parametric models such as SMPL or its variants, as elements of the product space of shape and pose ...

Attention Based Optimization for 3D Shape Registration
Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.Abstract Transformers are sequence‐to‐sequence architectures originally designed to handle structurally rigid and order‐sensitive data, such as text and images. At their core, they exploit the attention mechanism, which is permutation‐equivariant and relies on computing token‐to‐token relationships.

Tangent Blow‐Ups for Processing Non‐Manifold Geometry
Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.Abstract Many geometry processing pipelines implicitly assume their input data is a manifold, or is sampled from one, with a unique tangent plane at every point. Geometric data, however, routinely contains sharp features like edges, corners, self‐intersections, branching junctions, and other singularities, rendering standard methods ill‐defined at ...

Protected areas on international borders show uneven conservation outcomes
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Border protected areas (BPAs) are national protected areas that are immediately adjacent to a country's border or span two or more countries; they are characterized by distinctive opportunities and pressures. They play a critical role in protecting carbon‐rich ecosystems, conserving endangered biodiversity, reducing cross‐border environmental ...

The depth and breadth of capitalism at the Cape
The Economic History Review, EarlyView.Abstract Limited liability company legislation was introduced to the Cape Colony in 1861. An amendment in 1892 led to wider adoption, expanding and diversifying the capital market. Using novel data from the Cape Joint Stock Archive between 1892 and 1902, this paper examines who invested, where capital flowed, and how these patterns shaped firm outcomes

Price and Non‐price Terms of Syndicated Loans to Technology Firms
Financial Management, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This paper examines whether US technology firms receive different price and nonprice terms in the syndicated loan market compared to nontechnology firms. The analysis reveals that technology borrowers face significantly less favorable terms, including 12 basis points higher loan spreads, approximately 5%$\%$ shorter maturities, and loan sizes ...
