Computational Imaging for Enhanced Computer Vision
This paper presents a comprehensive survey of computational imaging (CI) techniques and their transformative impact on computer vision (CV) applications. Conventional imaging methods often fail to deliver high-fidelity visual data in challenging conditions, such as low light, motion blur, or high dynamic range scenes, thereby limiting the performance of state-of-the-art CV systems. Computational imaging techniques, including light field imaging, high dynamic range (HDR) imaging, deblurring, hig…

(2020) Economic growth is incompatible with biodiversity conservation #environment

Economic growth is incompatible with biodiversity conservation
The increase in resource consumption and polluting emissions as a result of economic growth is not compatible with biodiversity conservation. However, most international policies on biodiversity and sustainability advocate economic growth. These are the main conclusions of the study "Biodiversity policy beyond economic growth," published this week in the scientific journal Conservation Letters. This contradiction became clear after a review of international scientific and policy work on the sub…

Imagine him sitting, months on end, in an accountability circile in order to be fed. Imagine the confused expression that's basically just his annoying little face. Imagine, for a bit, that tiny face shrinking into that giant head as he listens for the 3rd month in a row to someone shows him videos of starving people in Gaza, shows him hours of surgery video from gunshot wounds he's laughed at, explains the patriarchy to him and why it was destroyed, explains to him why empathy is a good thing and is the bedrock of this new world we've created, explains why we've build a world that centeres carework above all else. Imagine the confusion and agony.
I really wanted that for him, and for every fascist. It's disappointing when they're taken early, but I can't honetly ever say that I find it sad.

Comparing incompatibility from an operational perspective
To effectively utilize quantum incompatibility as a resource in quantum information processing, it is crucial to evaluate how incompatible a set of devices is. In this study, we propose an ordering to compare incompatibility and reveal its various properties based on the operational intuition that larger incompatibility can be detected with fewer states. We especially focus on typical class of incompatibility exhibited by mutually unbiased qubit observables and numerically demonstrate that the …

Don't Forget Imagination!
Cognitive imagination is a type of imagination that plays a key role in human thinking. It is not a ``picture-in-the-head'' imagination. It is a faculty to mentally visualize coherent and holistic systems of concepts and causal links that serve as semantic contexts for reasoning, decision making and prediction. Our position is that the role of cognitive imagination is still greatly underestimated, and this creates numerous problems and diminishes the current capabilities of AI. For instance, wh…
