Adaptive Tag Selection for Image Annotation
Not all tags are relevant to an image, and the number of relevant tags is
image-dependent. Although many methods have been proposed for image
auto-annotation, the question of how to determine the number of tags to be
selected per image remains open. The main challenge is that for a large tag
vocabulary, there is often a lack of ground truth data for acquiring optimal
cutoff thresholds per tag. In contrast to previous works that pre-specify the
number of tags to be selected, we propose in this paper adaptive tag selection.
The key insight is to divide the vocabulary into two disjoint subsets, namely a
seen set consisting of tags having ground truth available for optimizing their
thresholds and a novel set consisting of tags without any ground truth. Such a
division allows us to estimate how many tags shall be selected from the novel
set according to the tags that have been selected from the seen set. The
effectiveness of the proposed method is justified by our participation in the
ImageCLEF 2014 image annotation task. On a set of 2,065 test images with ground
truth available for 207 tags, the benchmark evaluation shows that compared to
the popular top- strategy which obtains an F-score of 0.122, adaptive tag
selection achieves a higher F-score of 0.223. Moreover, by treating the
underlying image annotation system as a black box, the new method can be used
as an easy plug-in to boost the performance of existing systems
Leptophilic dark matter in gauged model in light of DAMPE cosmic ray excess
Motivated by the very recent cosmic-ray electron+positron excess observed by
DAMPE collaboration, we investigate a Dirac fermion dark matter (DM) in the
gauged model. DM interacts with the electron and muon via the
gauge boson . The model can explain the DAMPE data well.
Although a non-zero DM-nucleon cross section is only generated at one loop
level and there is a partial cancellation between and
couplings, we find that a large portion of mass is ruled out from
direct DM detection limit leaving the allowed mass to be close to two
times of the DM mass. Implications for and , and muon anomaly are also studied.Comment: Discussions added, version accepted by EPJ
via SUSY FCNC couplings in the unconstrained MSSM
We recalculate the branching ratios for () induced by
SUSY FCNC couplings within the general unconstrained MSSM framework using mass
eigenstate approach. Our results show that the branching ratios for these
decays are larger than ones reported in previous literatures in the MSSM with
R-parity conservation, and they can reach , , and
, respectively, for favorable parameter values allowed by current
precise experiments. Thus, the branching ratios for and may be measurable at the LHC.Comment: 15 pages, 3 figures, minor changs in the Table
Multivariable Scaling for the Anomalous Hall Effect
We derive a general scaling relation for the anomalous Hall effect in
ferromagnetic metals involving multiple competing scattering mechanisms,
described by a quadratic hypersurface in the space spanned by the partial
resistivities. We also present experimental findings, which show strong
deviation from previously found scaling forms when different scattering
mechanism compete in strength but can be nicely explained by our theory
