The Ties That Rhyme: Duality in Symbolic and Structural Networks of Grime Music
The British Journal of Sociology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Do birds of a feather really sing together? Musicians face two competing pressures in the pursuit of success: conforming to genre norms to meet audience expectations and distinguishing themselves to attract the attention of listeners. These opposing logics may shape how artists choose their collaborators.

How much are you willing to pay to avoid lockdowns? Evidence from the real estate market
Real Estate Economics, EarlyView.Abstract In response to the COVID‐19 pandemic, numerous countries implemented lockdowns. In Victoria, Australia, a unique two‐tier system was employed, segregating areas with a Ring of Steel boundary and imposing additional restrictions within. This study focuses on the impact of lockdowns on housing prices and rents, exploring whether people are ...

Probabilistic Tangent Subspace: A Unified View
, 2004 Tangent Distance (TD) is one classical method for invariant pattern classification. However, conventional TD need pre-obtain tangent vectors, which is difficult except for image objects. This paper extends TD to more general pattern classification tasks.

Fast Injective Mesh Parameterization via Beltrami Coefficient Prolongation
Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.Abstract We present a highly efficient and robust method for free boundary injective parameterization of disk‐like triangle meshes with low isometric distortion. Harmonic function–based approaches, grounded in a strong mathematical framework, are widely employed.

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.

Survey on differential estimators for 3d point clouds
Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.Abstract Recent advancements in 3D scanning technologies, including LiDAR and photogrammetry, have enabled the precise digital replication of real‐world objects. These methods are widely used in fields such as GIS, robotics, and cultural heritage. However, the point clouds generated by such scans are often noisy and unstructured, posing challenges for ...

Hierarchical Optimization of the As‐Rigid‐As‐Possible Energy
Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.Abstract The As‐Rigid‐As‐Possible (ARAP) energy [SA07] has become a versatile ingredient in various geometry processing and machine learning methods. The classic method for its minimization is a block coordinate descent, alternating between local rotation estimation and a global linear solve, which converges slowly for large problem instances.

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 ...
