Image Retrieval and Classification Techniques
Abstract
ARTigo (https://www.artigo.org/) is a Citizen Science project that has been jointly developed at the Institute for Art History and the Institute for Informatics at Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich since 2010. It enables participants to engage in the tagging of artworks, thus fostering knowledge accumulation and democratizing access to a traditionally elitist field. ARTigo is built as an interactive web application that offers Games With a Purpose: in them, players are presented with an image – and then challenged to communicate with one another using visual or textual annotations within a given time. Through this playful approach, the project aims to inspire greater appreciation for art and draw new audiences to museums and archives. It streamlines the discoverability of art-historical images, while promoting inclusivity, effective communication, and collaborative research practices.
This publication proposes a definition and a classification of agile software development approaches and analyses ten software development methods that can be characterized as being "agile" against the defined criterion.

The study shows that agile practices improve both informal and formal communication, but indicates that, in larger development situations involving multiple external stakeholders, a mismatch of adequate communication mechanisms can sometimes even hinder the communication.

The results indicate that software engineering work practices are chosen opportunistically, adapted and configured to provide value under the constrains imposed by the startup context.

It is proved that any global minimizer of the trajectory balance objective can define a policy that samples exactly from the target distribution, and empirically demonstrate the benefits of the trajectories balance objective for GFlowNet convergence, diversity of generated samples, and robustness to long action sequenc...

A machine-learning approach called CheMeleon provides a practical way to develop new drugs or other molecules with much less detailed, expensive experimentation.
