Simple Evaluation of Association Quality in Tracking-by-Detection
You are already at the latest version Evaluating multiple-object trackers is challenging due to the variable number of quantities involved and the mixed discrete--continuum nature of the problem. Existing methodologies primarily address detection and tracking challenges. These challenges aim at whole computer-vision pipelines as opposed to isolated tracker algorithms. However, modern tracker algorithms have become sufficiently sophisticated to merit a stand-alone analysis.

Footprints of atomic-scale features in plasmonic nanoparticles as revealed by Electron Energy Loss Spectroscopy
Footprints of atomic-scale features in plasmonic nanoparticles as revealed by Electron Energy Loss Spectroscopy We present a first-principles theoretical study of the atomistic footprints in the valence Electron Energy Loss Spectroscopy (EELS) of nanometer-size metallic particles. Charge density maps of excited plasmons and EEL spectra for specific electron paths through a nanoparticle (Na380 atom cluster) are modeled using ab initio calculations within time-dependent density functional theory.

The Association Between the Selection and Effectiveness of Emotion-Regulation Strategies and Psychopathological Features: A Daily Life Study
Optimal emotional functioning is key to psychological well-being, allowing people to respond appropriately to their changing environment (Kuppens & Verduyn, 2015). Therefore, it is perhaps unsurprising that several types of psychopathology are characterized by emotion dysregulation (Carpenter & Trull, 2013; Hofmann et al., 2012).
Apple wants to know if you’re happy or sad. Who will this benefit?
Apple’s iOS 17 operating system is expected to drop any day. The software update comes with several new features, including a tool for daily mood and emotion logging – a technique known to emotion researchers as “experience sampling”. Although there are caveats, certain mental health studies have shown that regularly recording one’s feelings can be useful.

The software update comes with several new features, including a tool for daily mood and emotion logging—a technique known to emotion researchers as "experience sampling." Although there are caveats, certain mental health studies have shown that regularly recording one's feelings can be useful. However, given the vast amount of health data Apple already harvests from customers, why does it also want to record their subjective feelings?

Group suggests we need education on overuse of digital technology and healthier ways of dealing with feelings Original
If you look around any waiting room or queue of people, almost all will be on a mobile phone. But alleviating boredom is just one way digital devices are being increasingly used to manage emotions including stress and anxiety, and to feel connected to others. Although emotions are essential to help us navigate the ever-changing, complex and challenging situations we face in everyday life, sometimes people experience emotions they prefer not to have.

Being open to emotion in art
Art changes hearts and minds. It opens us to new ideas, challenges our biases and moves us on a deep emotional level. This puts artists at the coalface of revolution, stoking the feelings that fuel social change.

Reply to Wenzel and Kubiak: Neuroticism is best defined by mean levels of negative emotion, not emotional variability
Wenzel and Kubiak (1) reanalyze our data (2) and conclude that 1) there is overlap between the relative SD (RSD) (3) and mean of negative emotion and 2) after controlling for this overlap, the RSD weakly but significantly predicts neuroticism. We question both points and note that these findings leave our conclusions unchanged. Overall, the mean and RSD of negative emotion are unrelated, but Wenzel and Kubiak (1) find significant between-study variance in this relationship.

Dealing with feelings about COVID-19
Many of us have been on an emotional rollercoaster over the past few weeks, experiencing the slow ascent of stress; tipping over the edge into nerve-wracking anxiety; and bottoming out in a pit of anger and gloom. Coming off a physically distanced Easter and the end of school holidays, it’s likely that many people are feeling down, fed up or at the end of their tether. Many of us have been on an emotional rollercoaster over the past few weeks.
Neuroticism may not reflect emotional variability
Recent research raises the prospect that such activity should be taken into account in order to better tailor therapies.

How sexually objectifying women leads them to objectify themselves
Women face sexual objectification as the go about their business on a regular basis. Picture: MaxPixel How does a woman feel when a man wolf-whistles at her from across the street? Or when a male coworker gives her body a fleeting once-over before looking her in the eye? These examples may seem relatively innocent to some, but our research has found they can have negative consequences for women’s emotional well-being.

Sexually objectifying women leads women to objectify themselves, and harms emotional well-being
How does a woman feel when a man wolf-whistles at her from across the street? Or when a male coworker gives her body a fleeting once-over before looking her in the eye? These examples may seem relatively innocent to some, but our research has found they can have negative consequences for women’s emotional well-being. We asked women to record any incidents of sexual objectification on a smartphone app, alongside rating their feelings several times each day for a week.
Sexual objectification in women's daily lives: A smartphone ecological momentary assessment study
Sexual objectification, particularly of young women, is highly prevalent in modern industrialized societies. Although there is plenty of experimental and cross-sectional research on objectification, prospective studies investigating the prevalence and psychological impact of objectifying events in daily life are scarce. We used ecological momentary assessment to track the occurrence of objectifying events over 1 week in the daily lives of young women (N = 81).
Sad and Alone
Western culture has become obsessed with happiness, while treating negative emotions like sadness, depression, or anxiety as pathological and nonnormative. These salient cultural norms communicate social expectations that people should feel “happy” and not “sad.” Previous research has shown that these “social expectancies” can increase feelings of sadness and reduce well-being.
