Mining 911 calls in New York City : temporal patterns, detection and forecasting
The New York Police Department (NYPD) is tasked with responding to a wide range of incidents that are reported through the city’s 911 emergency hotline. Currently, response resources are distributed within police precincts on the basis of high-level summary statistics and expert reasoning. In this paper, we describe our first steps towards a better understanding of 911 call activity: temporal behavioral clustering, predictive models of call activity, and anomalous event detection. In practice, the proposed techniques provide decision makers granular information on resource allocation needs across precincts and are important components of an overall data-driven resource allocation policy
RetouchingFFHQ: A Large-scale Dataset for Fine-grained Face Retouching Detection
The widespread use of face retouching filters on short-video platforms has
raised concerns about the authenticity of digital appearances and the impact of
deceptive advertising. To address these issues, there is a pressing need to
develop advanced face retouching techniques. However, the lack of large-scale
and fine-grained face retouching datasets has been a major obstacle to progress
in this field. In this paper, we introduce RetouchingFFHQ, a large-scale and
fine-grained face retouching dataset that contains over half a million
conditionally-retouched images. RetouchingFFHQ stands out from previous
datasets due to its large scale, high quality, fine-grainedness, and
customization. By including four typical types of face retouching operations
and different retouching levels, we extend the binary face retouching detection
into a fine-grained, multi-retouching type, and multi-retouching level
estimation problem. Additionally, we propose a Multi-granularity Attention
Module (MAM) as a plugin for CNN backbones for enhanced cross-scale
representation learning. Extensive experiments using different baselines as
well as our proposed method on RetouchingFFHQ show decent performance on face
retouching detection. With the proposed new dataset, we believe there is great
potential for future work to tackle the challenging problem of real-world
fine-grained face retouching detection.Comment: Under revie
