AutoFocus: Efficient Multi-Scale Inference [PDF]
2019 IEEE/CVF International Conference on Computer Vision (ICCV), 2019 This paper describes AutoFocus, an efficient multi-scale inference algorithm for deep-learning based object detectors. Instead of processing an entire image pyramid, AutoFocus adopts a coarse to fine approach and only processes regions which are likely to contain small objects at finer scales.

EFFICIENT ROUTING ON SCALE-FREE NETWORKS [PDF]
International Journal of Modern Physics B, 2007 The nodes with the largest degree are very susceptible to traffic congestion, thus an effective way to improve traffic and control congestion can be redistributing traffic load in hub nodes to others. We proposed an efficient routing strategy, which can remarkably enhance the network throughput. In addition, by using detrended fluctuation analysis, we

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Kaposiform lymphangiomatosis (KLA) is an aggressive complex lymphatic anomaly. Patients exhibit malformed lymphatic vessels and often develop hemorrhagic effusions and elevated angiopoietin‐2 (Ang‐2) levels. A somatic NRAS p.Q61R (NRASQ61R) mutation has been associated with KLA.
