Context-Aware Zero-Shot Recognition
We present a novel problem setting in zero-shot learning, zero-shot object
recognition and detection in the context. Contrary to the traditional zero-shot
learning methods, which simply infers unseen categories by transferring
knowledge from the objects belonging to semantically similar seen categories,
we aim to understand the identity of the novel objects in an image surrounded
by the known objects using the inter-object relation prior. Specifically, we
leverage the visual context and the geometric relationships between all pairs
of objects in a single image, and capture the information useful to infer
unseen categories. We integrate our context-aware zero-shot learning framework
into the traditional zero-shot learning techniques seamlessly using a
Conditional Random Field (CRF). The proposed algorithm is evaluated on both
zero-shot region classification and zero-shot detection tasks. The results on
Visual Genome (VG) dataset show that our model significantly boosts performance
with the additional visual context compared to traditional methods
Apolipoprotein M
Apolipoprotein M (apoM) is a 26-kDa protein that is mainly associated with high-density lipoprotein (HDL) in human plasma, with a small proportion present in triglyceride-rich lipoproteins (TGRLP) and low-density lipoproteins (LDL). Human apoM gene is located in p21.31 on chromosome 6 (chromosome 17, in mouse). Human apoM cDNA (734 base pairs) encodes 188-amino acid residue-long protein. It belongs to lipocalin protein superfamily. Human tissue expression array study indicates that apoM is only expressed in liver and in kidney and small amounts are found in fetal liver and kidney. In situ apoM mRNA hybridization demonstrates that apoM is exclusively expressed in the hepatocytes and in the tubule epithelial cells in kidney. Expression of apoM could be regulated by platelet activating factor (PAF), transforming growth factors (TGF), insulin-like growth factor (IGF) and leptin in vivo and/or in vitro. It has been demonstrated that apoM expression is dramatically decreased in apoA-I deficient mouse. Hepatocyte nuclear factor-1α (HNF-1α) is an activator of apoM gene promoter. Deficiency of HNF-1α mouse shows lack of apoM expression. Mutations in HNF-1α (MODY3) have reduced serum apoM levels. Expression of apoM is significantly decreased in leptin deficient (ob/ob) mouse or leptin receptor deficient (db/db) mouse. ApoM concentration in plasma is positively correlated to leptin level in obese subjects. These may suggest that apoM is related to the initiation and progression of MODY3 and/or obesity
Small data global regularity for simplified 3-D Ericksen-Leslie's compressible hyperbolic liquid crystal model
In this article, we consider the Ericksen-Leslie's hyperbolic system for
compressible liquid crystal model in three spatial dimensions. Global
regularity for small and smooth initial data near equilibrium is proved for the
case that the system is a nonlinear coupling of compressible Navier-Stokes
equations with wave map to . Our argument is a combination of
vector field method and Fourier analysis. The main strategy to prove global
regularity relies on an interplay between the control of high order energies
and decay estimates, which is based on the idea inspired by the method of
space-time resonances. In particular the different behaviors of the decay
properties of the density and velocity field for compressible fluids at
different frequencies play a key role.Comment: 61 pages; all comments wellcom
