NICE 2023 Zero-shot Image Captioning Challenge
In this report, we introduce NICE
project\footnote{\url{https://nice.lgresearch.ai/}} and share the results and
outcomes of NICE challenge 2023. This project is designed to challenge the
computer vision community to develop robust image captioning models that
advance the state-of-the-art both in terms of accuracy and fairness. Through
the challenge, the image captioning models were tested using a new evaluation
dataset that includes a large variety of visual concepts from many domains.
There was no specific training data provided for the challenge, and therefore
the challenge entries were required to adapt to new types of image descriptions
that had not been seen during training. This report includes information on the
newly proposed NICE dataset, evaluation methods, challenge results, and
technical details of top-ranking entries. We expect that the outcomes of the
challenge will contribute to the improvement of AI models on various
vision-language tasks.Comment: Tech report, project page https://nice.lgresearch.ai
Simultaneous Etching and Doping by Cu-Stabilizing Agent for High-Performance Graphene-Based Transparent Electrodes
Cu etching is one of the key processes to produce large-area graphene through chemical vapor deposition (CVD), which is needed to remove Cu catalysts and transfer graphene onto target substrates for further applications. However, the Cu etching method has been much less studied compared to doping or transfer processes despite its importance in producing higher quality graphene films. The Cu etchant generally includes a strong oxidizing agent that converts metallic Cu to Cu2+ in a short period of time. Sometimes, the highly concentrated Cu2+ causes a side reaction leading to defect formation on graphene, which heeds to be suppressed for higher graphene quality. Here we report that the addition of metal-chelating agents such as benzimidazole (BI) to etching solution reduces the reactivity of Cu-etching solution by forming a coordination compound between BI and Cu2+. The resulting graphene film prepared by Cu stabilizing agent exhibits a sheet resistance as lows as similar to 200 Ohm/sq without additional doping processes. We also confirmed that such strong doping effect is stable enough to last for more than 10 months under ambient conditions due to the barrier properties of graphene covering the BI dopants, in contrast to the poor stability of graphene additionally doped by strong p-dopant such as HAuCl4. Thus, we expect that this simultaneous doping and etching method would be very useful for simple and high-throughput production of large-area graphene electrodes with enhanced conductivity

Cu etching is one of the key processes

through chemical vapor deposition (CVD), which is needed to remove
Cu catalysts and transfer graphene onto target substrates for further
applications. However, the Cu etching method has been much less studied
compared to doping or transfer processes despite its importance in
producing higher quality graphene films. The Cu etchant generally
includes a strong oxidizing agent that converts metallic Cu to Cu<sup>2+</sup> in a short period of time. Sometimes, the highly concentrated
Cu<sup>2+</sup> causes a side reaction leading to defect formation
on graphene, which needs to be suppressed for higher graphene quality.
Here we report that the addition of metal-chelating agents such as
benzimidazole (BI) to etching solution reduces the reactivity of Cu-etching
solution by forming a coordination compound between BI and Cu<sup>2+</sup>. The resulting graphene film prepared by Cu stabilizing
agent exhibits a sheet resistance as lows as ∼200 Ohm/sq without
additional doping processes. We also confirmed that such strong doping
effect is stable enough to last for more than 10 months under ambient
conditions due to the barrier properties of graphene covering the
BI dopants, in contrast to the poor stability of graphene additionally
doped by strong p-dopant such as HAuCl<sub>4</sub>. Thus, we expect
that this simultaneous doping and etching method would be very useful
for simple and high-throughput production of large-area graphene electrodes
with enhanced conductivity

Tulkit kohtaavat työssään paljon haasteita, jotka voivat vaikuttaa heidän työtuloksiinsa. Opinnäytetyön tavoite oli avata osan niistä haasteista, jotka liittyivät
tulkkaustehtäviin, joissa käsitellään lastenkasvatusta ja lasten oikeuksia. Islamin uskonto ja kulttuuri ovat vaikuttaneet suoraan monien elämään ja samalla
tuoneet paljon ristiriitoja maahanmuuttajien uusiin asumisympäristöihin, eikä
ne sovi yhteen suomalaisen yhteiskunnan kulttuuriarvojen kanssa. Tulkin työn
onnistumisen kannalta nämä asiat ovat vaikeita kohdattaviksi niin tulkille, tulkattavalle kuin viranomaisille.
Opinnäytetyössä tutkittiin uskonnollisia tabuja. Samalla tuotiin esiin YK:n yleissopimus lapsen oikeuksista ja Suomen lastensuojelulaki, jotka suojelevat ihmisoikeuksia ja turvaavat lasten terveellisen kasvatuksen.
Opinnäytetyön aineisto koostui kolmen sosiaalityöntekijän ja kolmen maahanmuuttajataustaisen tulkin haastatteluista. Haastattelut toteutettiin syys-lokakuussa 2018. Haastattelujen tulokset analysoitiin tarkoituksena selvittää, miten tulkit ovat puristuksessa tabujen, vanhanaikaisten arvojen ja modernin yhteiskunnan välissä.
Opinnäytetyö on hyödyllinen viranomaisille, tulkeille ja tulkkausopiskelijoille.
Se voi antaa ohjeita heille, jotta he voivat ennakoida ongelmakohtia ja varautua niihin. Tämän tutkimuksen perusteella kävi ilmi, että ymmärtääkseen tulkattavaa paremmin ja helpommin tulkkien ja viranomaisten on saatava tietoa
ja asiantuntemusta monikulttuurisista ja uskonnollisista kysymyksistä.

Interpreters hard-pressed between religious taboos and the modern society

Interpreter, Community Interpreting
Interpreters encounter different challenges which can influece their work result. The aim of this thesis was to open up some of these challenges especially related to children's rights and education. The religion of Islam and its
culture have directly influenced the lives of many, and at the same time have brought a lot of controversy in the living environments and are incompatible with the cultural values of Finnish society. From the point of view of the success of the interpreter's work, these issues are difficult to meet both the interpreter, the client and the authorities.
In this thesis religious taboos were studied. The UN Convention on the Rights of the Child and the Finnish child protection act were highlighted. They protect the human rights and the healthy upbringing of children.
The thesis consisted of interviews with three social workers and three interptreters who had an immigrant backgroud. The interviews were conducted in September-October 2018. The results of the interviews were analysed to
show how interpreters are hard-pressed between taboos, old-fashioned values, and the modern society.
The thesis is useful for authorities, interpreter and interpreting students. It can help them to anticipate and prepare for problems. On the basis of this study, it became clear that, in order to understand the client better and more
easily, interpreters and the authorities need to have information and expertise
on multicultural and religious issues.
