Deep Semi-Supervised Semantic Segmentation in Multi-Frequency Echosounder Data
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-02-01)Multi-frequency echosounder data can provide a broad understanding of the underwater environment in a non-invasive manner. The analysis of echosounder data is, hence, a topic of great importance for the marine ecosystem.

Önbecsülés, önérzet és az igazságosság követelményei (Self-respect, self-esteem and the demands of justice)
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023)A tanulmány kiindulópontja John Rawls azon állítása, hogy az önbecsülés társadalmi alapjai talán a legfontosabb elsődleges jószág, amelynek elosztását az igazságosság elvei irányítják. Az irodalomban vita zajlik erről az állításról, amely lényeges pontosításokat eredményezett az érintett fogalom tekintetében. Úgy gondolom azonban, hogy ez a vita nem ment elég mélyre, és ezen hiányosságnak fontos ... -
Scalable Spatiotemporal Graph Neural Networks
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2023)Neural forecasting of spatiotemporal time series drives both research and industrial innovation in several relevant application domains. Graph neural networks (GNNs) are often the core component of the forecasting architecture. However, in most spatiotemporal GNNs, the computational complexity scales up to a quadratic factor with the length of the sequence times the number of links in the graph, ... -
