Weakly Supervised Faster-RCNN+FPN to classify animals in camera trap images [PDF]
Camera traps have revolutionized the animal research of many species that were previously nearly impossible to observe due to their habitat or behavior. They are cameras generally fixed to a tree that take a short sequence of images when triggered. Deep learning has the potential to overcome the workload to automate image classification according to ...

'Person' == Light-skinned, Western Man, and Sexualization of Women of Color: Stereotypes in Stable Diffusion [PDF]
We study stereotypes embedded within one of the most popular text-to-image generators: Stable Diffusion. We examine what stereotypes of gender and nationality/continental identity does Stable Diffusion display in the absence of such information i.e. what gender and nationality/continental identity is assigned to `a person', or to `a person from Asia ...

Challenges for Inclusion in Software Engineering: The Case of the Emerging Papua New Guinean Society [PDF]
Software plays a central role in modern societies, with its high economic value and potential for advancing societal change. In this paper, we characterise challenges and opportunities for a country progressing towards entering the global software industry, focusing on Papua New Guinea (PNG).

Psychiatry in Papua New Guinea [PDF]
Papua New Guinea is an independent commonwealth in the South Pacific, lying just north of Australia and sharing its western border with Indonesia. The population of Papua New Guinea is 5.2 million, of whom 87% live in rural areas (2000 census) (National Statistics Office, 2003).

The eBible Corpus: Data and Model Benchmarks for Bible Translation for Low-Resource Languages [PDF]
Efficiently and accurately translating a corpus into a low-resource language remains a challenge, regardless of the strategies employed, whether manual, automated, or a combination of the two. Many Christian organizations are dedicated to the task of translating the Holy Bible into languages that lack a modern translation.

Donovanosis in Papua New Guinea. [PDF]
Clinical and epidemiological observations on 87 cases of donovanosis seen at Port Moresby General Hospital are presented, with detailed reports of three cases in which the disease was more severe. The circumstances of infection described were consistent with venereal transmission.

Melioidosis in Papua New Guinea and Oceania [PDF]
Melioidosis has only been sporadically reported throughout Melanesia and the Pacific region since the first report from Guam in 1946; therefore, its contribution to the disease burden in this region is largely unknown. However, the outcome of a small number of active surveillance programs, serological surveys, and presumptive imported cases identified ...

Expected Fragment Distribution from the First Interstellar Meteor CNEOS 2014-01-08 [PDF]
In 2014, the fireball of the first interstellar meteor CNEOS 2014-01-08 (IM1) (Siraj & Loeb 2019), was detected off the northern coast of Papua New Guinea. A recently announced ocean expedition will retrieve any extant fragments by towing a magnetic sled across a 10 km x 10 km area of ocean floor approximately 300 km north of Manus Island (Siraj, Loeb,

Global carbon stocks and potential emissions due to mangrove deforestation from 2000 to 2012 [PDF]
Mangrove forests store high densities of organic carbon compared to other forested ecosystems. High carbon storage coupled with high rates of deforestation means that mangroves contribute substantially to carbon emissions. Thus, mangroves are candidates for inclusion in Intended Nationally Determined Contributions (INDCs) to the UNFCC Payments for ...

Spin-orbit coupling in a graphene bilayer and in graphite [PDF]
The intrinsic spin-orbit interactions in bilayer graphene and in graphite are studied, using a tight binding model, and an intraatomic LS coupling. The spin-orbit interactions in bilayer graphene and graphite are larger, by about one order of magnitude, than the interactions in single layer graphene, due to the mixing of pi and sigma bands by ...
