The History of Education Quarterly has done it again. Despite many scholars' previous attempts to summarize the state of the art in historical studies of literacy, this special issue will now be the best, up-to-date place for a novice to start. It should be required reading for everyone interested in this subfield. The editors have enlisted an impressive roster of prominent scholars in the field, and these authors have provided us with an excellent array of synthetic reviews, methodological and theoretical discussions, and exemplary research papers.

The collection of papers presented in this Special Issue (SI) portraits the state-of-the-art of photonic-based interferometric sensors, where new application areas were explored (such as spirometry) and novel sensitivity limits were achieved, using innovative sensing techniques for the monitoring of parameters, such as displacement, temperature or salinity.

AbstractIt is still a challenge to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of image denoising and enhancement methods. There exists denoising and enhancement methods that are able to improve visual quality of images. This is usually obtained by removing noise while sharpening details and improving edges contrast. Smoothing refers to the case of denoising when noise follows a Gaussian distribution.Both operations, smoothing noise and sharpening, have an opposite nature. Therefore, there are few approaches that simultaneously respond to both goals. We will review these methods and we will also provide a detailed study of the state-of-the-art methods that attack both problems in colour images, separately.

AbstractA deeper analysis on Comparative Quality Estimation is presented by extending the state-of-the-art methods with adequacy and grammatical features from other Quality Estimation tasks. The previously used linear method, unable to cope with the augmented features, is replaced with a boosting classifier assisted by feature selection. The methods indicated show improved performance for 6 language pairs, when applied on the output from MT systems developed over 7 years. The improved models compete better with reference-aware metrics.Notable conclusions are reached through the examination of the contribution of the features in the models, whereas it is possible to identify common MT errors that are captured by the features. Many grammatical/fluency features have a good contribution, few adequacy features have some contribution, whereas source complexity features are of no use. The importance of many fluency and adequacy features is language-specific.

Person re-identification (Re-ID) has a problem that makes learning difficult such as misalignment and occlusion. To solve these problems, it is important to focus on robust features in intra-class variation. Existing attention-based Re-ID methods focus only on common features without considering distinctive features. In this paper, we present a novel attentive learning-based Siamese network for person Re-ID. Unlike existing methods, we designed an attention module and attention loss using the properties of the Siamese network to concentrate attention on common and distinctive features. The attention module consists of channel attention to select important channels and encoder-decoder attention to observe the whole body shape. We modified the triplet loss into an attention loss, called uniformity loss. The uniformity loss generates a unique attention map, which focuses on both common and discriminative features. Extensive experiments show that the proposed network compares favorably to the state-of-the-art methods on three large-scale benchmarks including Market-1501, CUHK03 and DukeMTMC-ReID datasets.
