Hierarchy-based Image Embeddings for Semantic Image Retrieval

, 2019
Deep neural networks trained for classification have been found to learn powerful image representations, which are also often used for other tasks such as comparing images w.r.t. their visual similarity. However, visual similarity does not imply semantic

Seroprevalence of Arboviruses and Genetic Characterization of Orbiviruses in Sloths from Western Panama

Viruses
Arthropod-borne viruses (arboviruses) are an increasingly significant threat to public health in tropical regions. In this study, we investigated the seroprevalence of various arboviruses in two species of sloth (Choloepus hoffmanni and Bradypus ...

Strong restriction on inflationary vacua from the local gauge invariance I: Local gauge invariance and infrared regularity

, 2013
The primordial perturbation is widely accepted to be generated through the vacuum fluctuation of the scalar field which drives inflation. It is, however, not completely clear what is the natural vacuum in the inflationary universe particularly in the ...

One-loop corrections to the curvature perturbation from inflation

, 2008
An estimate of the one-loop correction to the power spectrum of the primordial curvature perturbation is given, assuming it is generated during a phase of single-field, slow-roll inflation.
