TL;DR: In this paper, a review of the literature shows that conspiracy beliefs result from a range of psychological, political and social factors, and that conspiracy theories are shared among individuals and spread through traditional and social media platforms.

TL;DR: The components of bimodal recognizers are reviewed, the accuracy of bIModal recognition is discussed, some outstanding research issues as well as possible application domains are highlighted, and the combination of auditory and visual modalities promises higher recognition accuracy and robustness than can be obtained with a single modality.

TL;DR: A new multimodal biometric database designed and acquired within the framework of the European BioSecure Network of Excellence is presented, comprised of more than 600 individuals acquired simultaneously in three scenarios: over the Internet, in an office environment with desktop PC, and in indoor/outdoor environments with mobile portable hardware.

TL;DR: Work carried out on fractal (or attractor) image compression relies on the assumption that image redundancy can be efficiently exploited through self-transformability and greatly increases the compression ratios achieved over traditional block-based partitionings.

TL;DR: The results of the competition are presented and it is shown that verification results on this protocol have increased in performance by a factor of 3.
