Statistical significance testing is widely accepted as a means to assess how well a difference in effectiveness reflects an actual difference between systems, as opposed to random noise because of the selection of topics. According to…
Camera-based vital signs monitoring in recent years has attracted more and more researchers and the results are promising. However, a few research works focus on heart rate extraction under extremely low illumination environments. In this…
We compute spectra of symmetric random matrices defined on graphs exhibiting a modular structure. Modules are initially introduced as fully connected sub-units of a graph. By contrast, inter-module connectivity is taken to be incomplete.…
