  • The community involvement of courts: an action research study in the context of the Polish justice system

    Publication

    - Social Responsibility Journal - Year 2022

    Purpose – As a rule, common courts are hermetic organizations, separated from their stakeholders by procedures based on legal provisions. For these reasons, they are often perceived as unreliable and non-transparent, and as such, they do not inspire trust among stakeholders. The authors posit that the court’s community involvement may lead to the increased accountability and legitimacy of courts, which should in turn result in...

  • Domain adaptation for inpainting-based face recognition studies

    Recent inpainting methods have demonstrated im-pressive outcomes in filling missing parts of images, especially for reconstructing facial areas obscured by occlusions. However, studies show that these models are not adequately effective in real-world applications, primarily due to data bias and the distribution of faces in images. This research focuses on domain adaptation of the commonly used Labeled Faces in the Wild (LFW) dataset,...
