Divide-and-conquer routing for learning heterogeneous individualized capsules. by Hailei Yuan, Qiang Ren

“…However, the dynamic routing mechanism in CapsNets introduces substantial computational costs and limits scalability. In this paper, we propose a divide-and-conquer routing algorithm that groups primary capsules, enabling the model to leverage independent feature subspaces for more precise and efficient feature learning. …”

Fundamental principles to design an ethical payment system by Gyöngyi Bugár, Márta Somogyvári

“…Each principle has three dimensions: financial inclusion embraces physical, intellectual and economic accessibility to the payment system, fair treatment of users means protection against illegal and/or illegitimate surveillance, trustworthiness and fair distribution of costs. Relying on these principles we discuss their significance in the payment system with special focus on the transition from a cash-dominant payment system to a fully digital one.…”
