Weak-Light Image Enhancement Method Based on Adaptive Local Gamma Transform and Color Compensation (open access)

Weak-Light Image Enhancement Method Based on Adaptive Local Gamma Transform and Color Compensation

This article proposes a correction method for image enhancement models based on an adaptive local gamma transformation and color compensation inspired by the illumination reflection model. It is demonstrated that the proposed method adaptively reduces the influence of uneven illumination to avoid overenhancement and improves the visual effect of low-light images.

Design and Assessment of a Task-Driven Introductory Data Science Course Taught Concurrently in Multiple Languages: Python, R, and MATLAB

This article is from the 26th ACM Conference on Innovation and Technology in Computer Science Education and discusses the design, effectiveness, and curricular impacts of an introductory data science course focused on practical programming skills and allowing students to concurrently complete the course in Python, R, or MATLAB. Students indicated a preference for the multi-language course design and the course became the recommended first programming course for a newly developed and approved undergraduate data science majors.

NextGen-Malloc: Giving Memory Allocator Its Own Room in the House (open access)

NextGen-Malloc: Giving Memory Allocator Its Own Room in the House

Article describes how memory allocation and management have a significant impact on performance and energy of modern applications. The authors observe that performance can vary by as much as 72% in some applications based on which memory allocator is used, and in this paper, the authors make a case for offloading memory allocation (and other similar management functions) from main processing cores to other processing units to boost performance, reduce energy consumption, and customize services to specific applications or application domains.

SUPREME: multiomics data integration using graph convolutional networks

Article states that, to pave the road towards precision medicine in cancer, patients with similar biology ought to be grouped into same cancer subtypes. On breast cancer subtyping, unlike existing tools, SUPREME generates patient embeddings from multiple similarity networks utilizing multiomics features and integrates them with raw features to capture complementary signals.
