What Jobs Do Workers Want? Worker Preferences in Global Value Chains
British Journal of Industrial Relations, EarlyView.ABSTRACT What do workers in global value chains (GVCs) consider a good job? Research on work in GVCs largely studies compliance with standards set from the top‐down rather than worker preferences. Understanding worker preferences is crucial because workers are the intended beneficiaries of governance institutions; policies better aligned to their ...

The model effect: How the facial attractiveness of a model shapes clothing evaluation
British Journal of Psychology, EarlyView.Abstract Clothing plays an integral role in the formation of first impressions and has been studied within social perception. However, little attention has been paid to the reverse process: whether evaluations of clothing are influenced by the attractiveness of the person wearing it.

MaX4Zero: Masked Extended Attention for Zero‐Shot Virtual Try‐On In The Wild
Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.Max4Zero is a zero‐shot, training‐free virtual try‐on method that leverages diffusion priors and extended attention for accurate garment transfer. By warping reference garments and mitigating texture sticking, it achieves superior fidelity, garment preservation and identity consistency over state‐of‐the‐art methods without additional training ...

t‐Regina: Data‐driven Authoring of Free‐form Registration for Cartoon Character Sprites
Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.Abstract This paper proposes t‐Regina, a novel iterative scheme that automates the manipulation of grid handles in free‐form deformation (FFD) for deformable registrations of cartoon character sprites. First, we build a data‐driven FFD (dFFD) that enables users to handle locations of FFD handles from lower‐dimensional parameters.

Advances in 4D Representation: Geometry, Motion, and Interaction
Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.We survey 4D representation through three key pillars — geometry, motion, and interaction — offering a selective, representation‐centric perspective to guide researchers in choosing and customizing the right 4D representation for their tasks. Abstract We present a survey on 4D generation and reconstruction, a fast‐evolving subfield of computer graphics
