Studies in bias and fairness in natural language processing have primarily examined social biases within a single language and/or across few attributes (e.g. gender, race). However, biases can manifest differently across various languages for individual attributes. As a result, it is critical to examine biases within each language and attribute. Of equal importance is to study how these biases compare across

The quality of recorded videos and images is significantly influenced by the camera’s field of view (FOV). In critical applications like surveillance systems and self-driving cars, an inadequate FOV can give rise to severe safety and security concerns, including car accidents and thefts due to the failure to detect individuals and objects. The conventional methods for establishing the correct FOV heavily

Rust has risen in prominence as a systems programming language in large part due to its focus on reliability. The language’s advanced type system and borrow checker eliminate certain classes of memory safety violations. But for critical pieces of code, teams need assurance beyond what the type checker alone can provide. Verification tools for Rust can check other properties, from memory faults in unsafe

Multiple Gateways (GWs) provide network connectivity to Internet of Things (IoT) sensors in a Wide Area Network (WAN). The End Nodes (ENs) can connect to any GW by discovering and acquiring its periodic beacons. This provides GW diversity, improving coverage area. However, simultaneous periodic beacon transmissions among nearby GWs lead to interference and collisions. In this study, the impact of such intra-network

In this paper, we explore the intriguing effects of JPEG compression as a pre-processing technique for image classification tasks. Building upon the findings of a previous study by Friedland et al., which demonstrated that substantial JPEG compression does not significantly degrade classification accuracy, we investigate the potential benefits and limitations of this approach when applied to various classifiers
