LR-Net: A Lightweight and Robust Network for Infrared Small Target Detection

LR-Net: A Lightweight and Robust Network for Infrared Small Target Detection

arXiv:2408.02780v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Limited by equipment limitations and the lack of target intrinsic features, existing infrared small target detection methods have difficulty meeting actual comprehensive performance requirements. Therefore, we propose an innovative lightweight and robust network (LR-Net), which abandons the complex structure and achieves an effective balance between detection accuracy and resource consumption. Specifically, to ensure the lightweight and robustness, on the one hand, we construct a lightweight feature extraction attention (LFEA) module, which can fully extract target features and strengthen information interaction across channels. On the other hand, we construct a simple refined feature transfer (RFT) module.…

The end of Patreon? Google is implementing micro-payments into Chrome – gHacks Tech News

Google is working on integrating what it calls Web Monetization functionality in its Chrome web browser. One of the main intents is to add a way to reward good content on the web. Most websites rely either on ads or subscriptions for revenue generation. While direct payments are in theory great, they are not in practice. Each payment has additional costs and intermediary services are needed in most cases, as individual implementations are technical. This lead to absurd scenarios where fees eat up a large chunk of payments. Google's solution: Web Monetization Google explains the feature in a support document…

Are Female Carpenters like Blue Bananas? A Corpus Investigation of Occupation Gender Typicality

Are Female Carpenters like Blue Bananas? A Corpus Investigation of Occupation Gender Typicality

arXiv:2408.02948v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: People tend to use language to mention surprising properties of events: for example, when a banana is blue, we are more likely to mention color than when it is yellow. This fact is taken to suggest that yellowness is somehow a typical feature of bananas, and blueness is exceptional. Similar to how a yellow color is typical of bananas, there may also be genders that are typical of occupations. In this work, we explore this question using information theoretic techniques coupled with corpus statistic analysis. In two distinct large corpora, we do not find strong…
