Human Detection in the Wild
Human detection remains a challenging task due to the problems caused by occlusion variance. Visible-body bounding boxes are typically used as an extra supervision signal to improve the performance of human detection. However, visible-body assisted approaches produce a large number of false …

Monitoring Gait Complexity in the Wild
… patterns, termed gait complexity, which provide information about the quality of gait control and adaptive capacity of the walker. Our knowledge of gait complexity is premised on studies estimating nonlinear measures such as fractal indices and entropy within controlled walking environments, …

Tracking certificate misissuance in the wild
… Authorities (CAs) are responsible for delegating trust in the TLS Public Key Infrastructure (PKI). Unfortunately, there is a long history of CAs abusing this responsibility, either due to negligence or in some cases, falling victim to attacks. As a result, the PKI community has established …

Designing for Shareable Interfaces in the Wild
Despite excitement about the potential of interactive tabletops to support collaborative work, there have been few empirical demonstrations of their effectiveness (Marshall et al., 2011). In particular, while lab-based studies have explored the effects of individual design features, there has been …

Improving 3D human pose estimation in-the-wild
Submission original under an indefinite embargo labeled 'Open Access'. The submission was exported from vireo on 2022-11-11 without embargo terms

Analysis of Oauth and CORS vulnerabilities in the wild
Thanks to the wide range of features offered by the World Wide Web (WWW), many web applications have been published and developed through different libraries and programming languages. Adapting to new changes, the Web quickly evolved into a complex ecosystem, introducing many security problems to …

Human-Machine Alignment for Context Recognition in the Wild
The premise for AI systems like personal assistants to provide guidance and suggestions to an end-user is to understand, at any moment in time, the personal context that the user is in. The context – where the user is, what she is doing and with whom – allows the machine to represent the world in …

Markerless 3D Motion Capture of Cheetahs in the Wild
3D motion-capture is essential for research in biomechanics and biomedical engineering. It can provide insight into performance and injury prevention in sport, diagnosis of illnesses and disorders as well as help biologists to study animals and help engineers to design bio-inspired robots. …

Toward Practical, In-The-Wild, and Reusable Wearable Activity Classification
… activities, and application-specific activities. In addition, current classification systems suffer from using impractical tight-fitting sensor networks, or only use one loose-fitting sensor node that cannot capture much movement information (e.g., smartphone sensors and wrist-worn sensors). These …

How predictable : patterns of human economic behavior in the wild
Shopping is driven by needs (to eat, to socialize, to work), but it is also a driver of where we go. I examine the transaction records of 80 million customers and find that while our economic choices predict mobility patterns overall, at the small scale we transact unpredictably. In particular, we …

Do we have a duty to prevent predation in the wild?
The animal ethics literature has focused a great deal on the harms that culpable moral agents cause animals, and our duties to prevent this. What is less clear is whether there is a duty to stop nonhuman animals from harming other creatures, considering that they lack moral agency. In this …

Individual risk and reward in the wild. A study on blue tits
Behavioural biologists seek to understand why individuals of the same species differ in their behaviour. The "pace-of-life syndrome" (POLS) hypothesis offers a framework to explain such individual behavioural variation. It puts forth that individuals differ broadly in how they take risks in their …

Leveraging Geometric Priors for In-the-wild Pose Estimation and 3D Reconstruction
The ability to observe and understand the physical world is essential for robots to operate effectively in unstructured environments. Visual perception provides important cues for recognizing objects, reasoning about their spatial relationships, and inferring 3D geometry or motion. However, …

Life History and Ecology of the Black-Footed Ferret in the Wild
… were observed at six different locations in southwest South Dakota between April 1966, and September 1967. All observations were made on black-tailed prairie-dog (Cynomys ludovicianus) towns from 15 to 100 acres in size. Because of the proximity of towns inhabited by ferrets, it was …

DEEP LEARNING FOR FOR LARGE-SCALE FACIAL EXPRESSION RECOGNITION IN THE WILD
… facial expression recognition (FER) is a challenging task due to ambiguous facial expressions and highly skewed, imbalanced datasets. Even with recent advances in deep learning, these obstacles still remain. Facial expressions are commonly assigned discrete emotions, as per the categorical model …

Audio computing in the wild: frameworks for big data and small computers
"This dissertation presents some machine learning algorithms that are designed to process as much data as needed while spending the least possible amount of resources, such as time, energy, and memory. Examples of those applications, but not limited to, can be a large-scale multimedia information …
