CoDA: Coordinated Diffusion Noise Optimization for Whole-Body Manipulation of Articulated Objects
Synthesizing whole-body manipulation of articulated objects, including body motion, hand motion, and object motion, is a critical yet challenging task with broad applications in virtual humans and robotics. The core challenges are twofold. First, achieving realistic whole-body motion requires tight coordination between the hands and the rest of the body, as their movements are interdependent during manipulation. Second, articulated object manipulation typically involves high degrees of freedom …

COSMIC CODA had a nice blend of science and a “day in the life” of the subject scientists. Could have been mega dry but was good. #IFFBoston

New financial ratios based on the compositional data methodology
Due to their type of mathematical construction, the use of standard financial ratios in studies analysing the financial health of a group of firms leads to a series of statistical problems that can invalidate the results obtained. These problems are originated by the asymmetry of financial ratios. The present article justifies the use of a new methodology using compositional data (CoDa) to analyse the financial statements of a sector, improving analyses using conventional ratios since the new m…
