Traditionally, online retailers have acted as product resellers. Recently, these also started to serve marketplaces by providing a platform directly connect sellers with buyers. Over and above re‐shaping the traditional e‐commerce market, conventional wisdom suggests that this new format will mitigate double‐marginalization effect benefit both intermediary suppliers through revenue sharing scheme. However, we find upstream competition between critically moderates possibility. We interaction...

This paper studies information sharing in a distribution channel where the manufacturer possesses better demand-forecast than downstream retailer. We examine three information-sharing formats: no (i.e., ex ante commits to not its forecast), voluntary makes decision post after receiving and mandatory is mandated share forecast). characterize equilibrium outcomes under formats investigate firms’ preferences regarding these formats. It shown that when retailer risk-neutral, both firms are...

In this paper, we present a regression-based pose recognition method using cascade Transformers. One way to categorize the existing approaches in domain is separate them into 1). heatmap-based and 2). regression-based. general, methods achieve higher accuracy but are subject various heuristic designs (not end-to-end mostly), whereas attain relatively lower they have less intermediate non-differentiable steps. Here utilize encoder-decoder structure Transformers perform person keypoint...

Vision transformers (ViTs) have recently received explosive popularity, but the huge computational cost is still a severe issue. Since computation complexity of ViT quadratic with respect to input sequence length, mainstream paradigm for reduction reduce number tokens. Existing designs include structured spatial compression that uses progressive shrinking pyramid computations large feature maps, and unstructured token pruning dynamically drops redundant However, limitation existing lies in...

Abstract Transformers, the dominant architecture for natural language processing, have also recently attracted much attention from computational visual media researchers due to their capacity long-range representation and high performance. Transformers are sequence-to-sequence models, which use a self-attention mechanism rather than RNN sequential structure. Thus, such models can be trained in parallel represent global information. This study comprehensively surveys recent transformer works....

In this paper, we present a joint end-to-end line segment detection algorithm using Transformers that is post-processing and heuristics-guided intermediate processing (edge/junction/region detection) free. Our method, named LinE TRansformers (LETR), takes advantages of having integrated tokenized queries, self-attention mechanism, encoding-decoding strategy within by skipping standard heuristic designs for the edge element perceptual grouping processes. We equip with multi-scale...

Product quality and product warranty coverage are two important closely related operational decisions. A longer protection period can boost sales, but it may also result in dramatically increased cost, if is poor. To investigate how these decisions interact with each other influence supply chain performance, we develop a single‐period model supplier that provides to an original equipment manufacturer, which turn sells customers. Customer demand random affected by the length of period....

Biometrics authentication has become increasingly popular due to its security and convenience; however, traditional biometrics are becoming less desirable in scenarios such as new mobile devices, Virtual Reality, Smart Vehicles. For example, while face is widely used, it suffers from significant privacy concerns. The collection of complete facial data makes for privacy-sensitive applications. Lip authentication, on the other hand, emerged a promising method. However, existing lip-based...
