Evaluation and optimisation of interface force fields for water on gold surfaces
The structure and dynamics of water at gold surfaces is important for a variety of applications, including lab on a chip and electrowetting. Classical molecular dynamics (MD) simulations are frequently used to investigate systems with water-gold interfaces, such as biomacromolecules in gold nanoparticle dispersions, but the accuracy of the simulations depends on the suitability of the force field. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations of a water molecule on gold were used as a benchmark to assess force field accuracy. It was found that Lennard-Jones potentials did not reproduce the DFT water-gold configurational energy landscape whereas the softer Morse and Buckingham potentials allowed for a more accurate representation. MD simulations with different force fields exhibited rather different structural and dynamic properties of water on a gold surface. This emphasises the need for experimental data and further effort on the validation of a realistic force field for water-gold interactions
ImageNet Large Scale Visual Recognition Challenge
The ImageNet Large Scale Visual Recognition Challenge is a benchmark in
object category classification and detection on hundreds of object categories
and millions of images. The challenge has been run annually from 2010 to
present, attracting participation from more than fifty institutions.
This paper describes the creation of this benchmark dataset and the advances
in object recognition that have been possible as a result. We discuss the
challenges of collecting large-scale ground truth annotation, highlight key
breakthroughs in categorical object recognition, provide a detailed analysis of
the current state of the field of large-scale image classification and object
detection, and compare the state-of-the-art computer vision accuracy with human
accuracy. We conclude with lessons learned in the five years of the challenge,
and propose future directions and improvements.Comment: 43 pages, 16 figures. v3 includes additional comparisons with PASCAL
VOC (per-category comparisons in Table 3, distribution of localization
difficulty in Fig 16), a list of queries used for obtaining object detection
images (Appendix C), and some additional reference
