Speculative ray scheduling for large data visualization on supercomputers
… of rays. However, ray schedulers are prone to long-tail effects where much time is spent computing the solution for the final few rays, particularly for irregular ray tracing workloads. Solving this long-tail problem is increasingly important to maintain performance as complex ray tracing …

Functional morphology of mammalian sacra and caudal vertebrae : implications for tail loss and positional behaviors in extinct primates
All living hominoids are characterized by taillessness and adaptations to orthograde (upright) trunk posture. Accordingly, these features have importance for our understanding of ape origins, evolutionary relationships and positional behaviors. Despite extensive study of the hominoid postcranial …

Continual Learning of Object Classification in the Real World
… and (2) the training data of each task follows a long-tail distribution. We call this setting CIL-LT. We hypothesize that previously trained classification heads possess prototype knowledge of seen classes and thus could help learn the new model. Therefore, we propose a method, i.e., …

Investigation on ImageNet Remaining Errors with TRAK
… usually of high precision and the causes of this long tail of error are unknown. Many studies have suggested that reassessing Imagenet, a nontrivial amount of label error and noise is found and effort had been made to fix this label noise in the test set, mainly through manual review. However, not …

Kinematics and Hydrodynamics of Cephalopod Turning Performance in Routine Swimming and Predatory Attacks
… turning categories were identified: (1) short tail-first turns, (2) long tail-first turns, (3) vertically oriented turns and (4) arms-first turns. The jet generally contributed more to turning torque than the fins in short tail-first, long tail-first and vertical turns. However, the fins …
