    Ulrich (Enrique) Ehinger, agente de los Wesler en Valladolid. Entre Europa y América

    No full text
    Ulrich Ehinger, known in Spain as Enrique Ehinger, died in Valladolid in 1537. Agent of the Welser, he participated in the conquest and exploitation of Venezuela. At his death, he left an interesting set of goods, including various American objects. He was buried in the convent of San Francisco. This article reviews and specifies some aspects of this character and his relationship with the city of Valladolid.Ulrich Ehinger, conocido en España como Enrique Ehinger, falleció en Valladolid en 1537.

    Category systems for real-world scenes

    Categorization performance is a popular metric of scene recognition and understanding in behavioral and computational research. However, categorical constructs and their labels can be somewhat arbitrary. Derived from exhaustive vocabularies of place names (e.g., Deng et al., 2009), or the judgements of small groups of researchers (e.g., Fei-Fei, Iyer, Koch,&amp;Perona, 2007), these categories may not correspond with human-preferred taxonomies. Here, we propose clustering by increasing the rand index via coordinate ascent (CIRCA): an unsupervised, data-driven clustering method for deriving ground-truth scene categories. In Experiment 1, human participants organized 80 stereoscopic images of outdoor scenes from the Southampton-York Natural Scenes (SYNS) dataset (Adams et al., 2016) into discrete categories. In separate tasks, images were grouped according to i) semantic content, ii) three-dimensional spatial structure, or iii) two-dimensional image appearance. Participants provided text labels for each group. Using the CIRCA method, we determined the most representative category structure and then derived category labels for each task/dimension. In Experiment 2, we found that these categories generalized well to a larger set of SYNS images, and new observers. In Experiment 3, we tested the relationship between our category systems and the spatial envelope model (Oliva&amp;Torralba, 2001). Finally, in Experiment 4, we validated CIRCA on a larger, independent dataset of same-different category judgements. The derived category systems outperformed the SUN taxonomy (Xiao, Hays, Ehinger, Oliva,&amp;Torralba, 2010) and an alternative clustering method (Greene, 2019). In summary, we believe this novel categorization method can be applied to a wide range of datasets to derive optimal categorical groupings and labels from psychophysical judgements of stimulus similarity.</p

    Canonical views of scenes depend on the shape of the space

    When recognizing or depicting objects, people show a preference for particular “canonical” views. Are there similar preferences for particular views of scenes? We investigated this question using panoramic images, which show a 360-degree view of a location. Observers used an interactive viewer to explore the scene and select the best view. We found that agreement between observers on the “best” view of each scene was generally high. We attempted to predict the selected views using a model based on the shape of the space around the camera location and on the navigational constraints of the scene. The model performance suggests that observers select views which capture as much of the surrounding space as possible, but do not consider navigational constraints when selecting views. These results seem analogous to findings with objects, which suggest that canonical views maximize the visible surfaces of an object, but are not necessarily functional views.National Science Foundation (U.S.) (NSF Career award (0546262))National Science Foundation (U.S.) (Grant 0705677)National Institutes of Health (U.S.) (Grant 1016862)National Eye Institute (grant EY02484)National Science Foundation (U.S.) (NSF Graduate Research Fellowship

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    No full text
    The present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
