Part-based representation has been proven to be effective for a variety of visual applications. However, automatic discovery of discriminative parts without object/part-level annotations is challenging. This paper proposes a discriminative…

Violation of a Bell inequality certifies that the underlying state must be entangled in a device-independent way, although there may exist some entangled states which do not violate such an inequality. On the other hand, for every entangled…
