- The Visual Object Tracking challenge VOT2021 is the ninth annual tracker benchmarking activity organized by the VOT initiative. Results of 71 trackers are presented; many are state-of-the-art trackers published at major computer vision conferences or in journals in recent years. The VOT2021 challenge was composed of four sub-challenges focusing on different tracking domains: (i) VOT-ST2021 challenge focused on short-term tracking in RGB, (ii) VOT-RT2021 challenge focused on "real-time" short-term tracking in RGB, (iii) VOT-LT2021 focused on long-term tracking, namely coping with target disappearance and reappearance and (iv) VOT-RGBD2021 challenge focused on long-term tracking in RGB and depth imagery. The VOT-ST2021 dataset was refreshed, while VOT-RGBD2021 introduces a training dataset and sequestered dataset for winner identification. The source code for most of the trackers, the datasets, the evaluation kit and the results along with the source code for most trackers are publicly available at the challenge website(1).

NTIRE 2022 Burst Super-Resolution Challenge

- Burst super-resolution has received increased attention in recent years due to its applications in mobile photography. By merging information from multiple shifted images of a scene, burst super-resolution aims to recover details which otherwise cannot be obtained using a simple input image. This paper reviews the NTIRE 2022 challenge on burst super-resolution. In the challenge, the participants were tasked with generating a clean RGB image with 4x higher resolution, given a RAW noisy burst as input. That is, the methods need to perform joint denoising, demosaicking, and super-resolution. The challenge consisted of 2 tracks. Track 1 employed synthetic data, where pixel-accurate high-resolution ground truths are available. Track 2 on the other hand used real-world bursts captured from a handheld camera, along with approximately aligned reference images captured using a DSLR. 14 teams participated in the final testing phase. The top performing methods establish a new state-of-the-art on the burst super-resolution task.

- To support time-sensitive (TS) services with differential low latency requirements, this paper proposes a fine-granularity bandwidth allocation algorithm (FgBA) in higher speed passive optical networks (i.e., ITU-T 50G PON). Simulation results show that FgBA can meet the diverse low latency requirements of TS services regardless of traffic load.

A Hierarchical Parallel Discrete Gaussian Sampler for Lattice-Based Cryptography
- 2022

- Discrete Gaussian sampling is one of the important components in lattice-based cryptosystems which are promising candidates for post-quantum cryptographic algorithms. For sufficient security and satisfactory performance, the Knuth-Yao algorithm is an efficient way to implement discrete Gaussian samplers. Nevertheless, most polynomials in lattice-based cryptography have 256 coefficients or more, which suffers from long latency to complete the sample generation. In this paper, the first parallel discrete Gaussian sampler with hierarchical structure is proposed, while keeping statistical distance to the actual distribution. Based on the imbalanced visiting frequency of the probability matrix, a three-stage generation strategy is adopted with hierarchical bit search units (BSUs) that can greatly reduce area consumption of the repeated costly lookup tables. Besides the architecture improvement, a lowest-set-bit scanning scheme is introduced to BSUs. Moreover, the parallelism of our design provides obfuscation ability against side-channel attacks (SCAs). A practical hardware implementation of discrete Gaussian distributions with sigma = 3.33 on the Xilinx Virtex-5 XC5VLX30 FPGA device spends 26.12 ns on average to generate 256 samples, consuming 994 slices. Results have verified its advantages of area efficiency over the state-of-the-arts (SOAs).

Delay-aware Rate Adjusting Scheme in Higher Speed Passive Optical Networks

- Flexible rate is a new desirable operational feature of next-generation higher speed passive optical networks (e.g., ITU-50G PON). In this context, this paper proposes a delay-aware rate adjusting scheme, in which the line rate can be adjusted following the traffic load varying to save energy without degrading delay performance. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme has a similar performance with the benchmark in the aspect of energy saving, while the delay performance of time-sensitive services can be improved significantly, which can be up to 36%.

- High resolution spectroscopy has been considered of a primary importance to exploit the main scientific cases foreseen for ESO ELT, the Extremely Large Telescope, the future largest optical-infrared telescope in the world. In this context ESO commissioned a Phase-A feasibility study for the construction of a high resolution spectrograph for the ELT, tentatively named HIRES. The study, which lasted 1.5 years, started on March 2016 and was completed with a review phase held at Garching ESO headquarters with the aim to assess the scientific and technical feasibility of the proposed instrument. One of the main tasks of the study is the architectural design of the software covering all the aspects relevant to control an astronomical instrument: from observation preparation through instrument hardware and detectors control till data reduction and analysis. In this paper we present the outcome of the Phase-A study for the proposed HIRES software design highlighting its peculiarities, critical areas and performance aspects for the whole data flow. The End-to-End simulator, a tool already capable of simulating HIRES end products and currently being used to drive some design decision, is also shortly described.

GEMv2: Multilingual NLG Benchmarking in a Single Line of Code

- Evaluations in machine learning rarely use the latest metrics, datasets, or human evaluation in favor of remaining compatible with prior work. The compatibility, often facilitated through leaderboards, thus leads to outdated but standardized evaluation practices. We pose that the standardization is taking place in the wrong spot. Evaluation infrastructure should enable researchers to use the latest methods and what should be standardized instead is how to incorporate these new evaluation advances.We introduce GEMv2, the new version of the Generation, Evaluation, and Metrics Benchmark which uses a modular infrastructure for dataset, model, and metric developers to benefit from each other’s work. GEMv2 supports 40 documented datasets in 51 languages, ongoing online evaluation for all datasets, and our interactive tools make it easier to add new datasets to the living benchmark.

Processing and characterization of nano-structured ZrO2/ CoSb3 thermoelectric composites
- 2006
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- The addition of ceramic inclusion to a thermoelectric matrix could reduce the thermal conductivity of the composite, which is attributed to phonon scattering on the generated interfaces. The electrical conductivity of the composite, however, could also be reduced due to additional charge carrier scattering. The performance of the thermoelectric composite, therefore, depends on the resulting ratio of electrical conductivity to thermal conductivity, which results from the entire scattering effects on phonons and charge carriers. In the present work, nano-sized ZrO2 powders of different contents, which were expected to minimize their scattering impact on charge carriers, were dispersed into submicron-sized CoSb3 powders via ball milling. The as-milled powders were consolidated into dense compacts by hot pressing. The phase, the microstructure, and the thermoelectric properties of the prepared compacts were characterized. The correlation of phase purity, microstructure, and thermoelectric properties (electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity, and ratio of electrical conductivity to thermal conductivity), with the ceramic content and sintering temperature is presented. The results show how the performance of the investigated thermoelectric composites can be affected by the dispersion of nano-sized ceramic inclusions. It is noted that the selection of appropriate inclusion content is crucial to maintaining or improving the ratio of electrical conductivity to thermal conductivity.
