Je viens de lire l'article sur le fascisme de la fin des temps de Naomi Klein et Astra Taylor. C'est absolument flippant, glaçant. Je vous invite Š le lire, si toutefois vous avez le cœur bien accroché. Pour les autres qui l'ont déjŠ lu, vous en pensez quoi?

Mechanism Design for Facility Location using Predictions
We study mechanisms for the facility location problem augmented with predictions of the optimal facility location. We demonstrate that an egalitarian viewpoint which considers both the maximum distance of any agent from the facility and the minimum utility of any agent provides important new insights compared to a viewpoint that just considers the maximum distance. As in previous studies, we consider performance in terms of consistency (worst case when predictions are accurate) and robustness (…

DepthGait: Multi-Scale Cross-Level Feature Fusion of RGB-Derived Depth and Silhouette Sequences for Robust Gait Recognition
Robust gait recognition requires highly discriminative representations, which are closely tied to input modalities. While binary silhouettes and skeletons have dominated recent literature, these 2D representations fall short of capturing sufficient cues that can be exploited to handle viewpoint variations, and capture finer and meaningful details of gait. In this paper, we introduce a novel framework, termed DepthGait, that incorporates RGB-derived depth maps and silhouettes for enhanced gait r…

Coefficient estimates for the class of q-starlike functions
By employing the $q$-difference operator, various classes of $q$-extensions of starlike functions have emerged from many different viewpoints and perspectives. Ruscheweyh's work unified these $q$-extensions with convolution operations. Inspired by prior research, this paper delves into the class of $q$-starlike functions defined via convolution. First, we provide comprehensive analysis of its Taylor coefficients by using the Carathéodory-Toeplitz Theorem and its corollaries. Precise upper boun…

A Riemannian viewpoint on the Amari-Cencov $α$-connections and Proudman-Johnson equations
We give a new geometric interpretation of the Amari-Cencov $α$-connections $\nabla^{(α)}$ from information geometry: On the space of densities $\operatorname{Dens}_+(M)$, we show that there exist Riemannian metrics $G^α$, which we call $α$-Fisher-Rao metrics, whose Levi-Civita connections are $\nabla^{(α)}$. With the exception of $α=0$ (the Fisher-Rao metric), these metrics are non-invariant to the action of the diffeomorphism group $\operatorname{Diff}(M)$, even though the connections ar…

# Du soin dans la Technique, de Xavier Guchet
Pour fire face aux défis environnementaux, il ne suffit pas de rendre nos systèmes de production plus verts et nos modes de vie plus écologiques. Il est également urgent d’en finir avec la conception de l’humain « maître et possesseur » de la nature et de rappeler qu’il est un vivant parmi les vivants.
Cependant, pour porter ses fruits, ce changement d’anthropologie doit aussi s’accompagner d’un changement dans notre conception de la…

Du soin dans la technique - ISTE Group
Du soin dans la technique propose une analyse philosophique de la rupture de la technique et du soin, au seuil de l’industrialisation. Il identifie aussi les conditions pour que le soin puisse aujourd’hui redevenir un principe régulateur de l’activité des ingénieurs.

A Re-ranking Method using K-nearest Weighted Fusion for Person Re-identification
In person re-identification, re-ranking is a crucial step to enhance the overall accuracy by refining the initial ranking of retrieved results. Previous studies have mainly focused on features from single-view images, which can cause view bias and issues like pose variation, viewpoint changes, and occlusions. Using multi-view features to present a person can help reduce view bias. In this work, we present an efficient re-ranking method that generates multi-view features by aggregating neighbors…
