The Architect of Russia’s Google Is Back

The billionaire Arkady Volozh, known as the architect of “Russia’s Google,” valued at $30 billion at its peak, has long had an apolitical public persona. “I don’t have friction with the state,” Volozh told WIRED in 2017. “Just like I don't have friction with the weather. What happens if it’s raining? I need to build a service to avoid the rain.”Still, Volozh couldn’t avoid the rain.

A Transformer-Based Multi-Stream Approach for Isolated Iranian Sign Language Recognition

arXiv:2407.09544v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Sign language is an essential means of communication for millions of people around the world and serves as their primary language.
