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 ...

MathematicsMetaheuristics have become popular tools for solving complex optimization problems; however, the overwhelming number of tools and the fact that many are based on metaphors rather than mathematical foundations make it difficult to choose and apply them to

A Hyper-heuristic with a Round Robin Neighbourhood Selection [PDF]
, 2013 An iterative selection hyper-heuristic passes a solution through a heuristic selection process to decide on a heuristic to apply from a fixed set of low level heuristics and then a move acceptance process to accept or reject the newly created solution at each step.

Skeletal‐Driven Animation of Anatomical Humans via Neural Deformation Gradients
Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.Abstract Most real‐time animation techniques for digital humans are limited to deforming the outer skin surface. Geometric skinning methods are highly efficient but struggle with artifacts such as collapsing joints or self‐intersections when animating inner anatomy along with the outer skin.

Establishing Shape Correspondences: A Survey
Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.Abstract Shape correspondence between surfaces in 3D is a central problem in geometry processing, concerned with establishing meaningful relations between surfaces. While all correspondence problems share this goal, specific formulations can differ significantly: Downstream applications require certain properties that correspondences must satisfy ...

SAGE: Structure‐Aware Generative Video Transitions between Diverse Clips
Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.Abstract Video transitions aim to synthesize intermediate frames between two clips, but naïve approaches such as linear blending introduce artifacts that limit professional use or break temporal coherence. Traditional techniques (cross‐fades, morphing, frame interpolation) and recent generative inbetweening methods can produce high‐quality plausible ...

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Monitoring wildlife health is essential for conservation and management, wildlife and livestock welfare, and public health in a One Health framework. Yet, wildlife health monitoring often requires long‐term fieldwork and intensive sampling, which can be costly or logistically challenging, especially for remote, rare, or elusive populations. To

Evolvability Metric Estimation by a Parallel Perceptron for On-Line Selection Hyper-Heuristics
IEEE Access, 2017 Online hyper-heuristic selection is a novel and powerful approach to solving complex problems. This approach dynamically selects, based on the state of a given solution, the most promising operator (from a pool of operators) to continue the search ...

Gender, Work &Organization, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This paper interrogates the confessional foundations of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) work, which have emerged predominantly from Global North traditions rooted in Christian understandings of subjectivity. In such traditions, identity is asserted through self‐declaration, visibility, and vocal articulation of difference, what we term ...
