British Journal of Educational Psychology, EarlyView.Abstract Background Conceptual and procedural knowledge are two distinct types of mathematical knowledge. Measuring them with sufficient discriminant validity is challenging because they are typically highly correlated. Prior studies have demonstrated discriminant validity of paper‐and‐pencil measures separately for fractions and algebra.

Computing Skinning Weights via Convex Duality
Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.We present an alternate optimization method to compute bounded biharmonic skinning weights. Our method relies on a dual formulation, which can be optimized with a nonnegative linear least squares setup. Abstract We study the problem of optimising for skinning weights through the lens of convex duality.

Neural Local Inter‐reflection Modeling for Garment Fold Rendering
Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.Abstract Realistic garment rendering requires simulating complex multi‐bounce light paths within intricate fold geometries. In these regions, conventional path tracing is computationally expensive as light becomes trapped, necessitating high bounce counts for convergence.

Affinification: A Fine Approximation of Deformations
Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.Abstract We introduce affinification, a novel method for accelerating physics‐based animation of elastic solids. During a time‐dependent simulation, our method automatically partitions the space into affine and elastic regions depending on the deformation.

Edge‐preserving noise for diffusion models
Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.Abstract Classical diffusion models typically rely on isotropic Gaussian noise, treating all regions uniformly and overlooking structural information important for high‐quality generation. We introduce an edge‐preserving diffusion process that generalizes isotropic models via a hybrid noise scheme with an edge‐aware scheduler that smoothly transitions ...
