Image Retrieval with Relevance Feedback using SVM Active Learning
In content-based image retrieval, relevant feedback is studied extensively to narrow the gap between low-level image feature and high-level semantic concept. In general, relevance feedback aims to improve the retrieval performance by learning with user's judgements on the retrieval results. Despite widespread interest, but feedback related technologies are often faced with a few limitations. One of the most obvious limitations is often requiring the user to repeat a number of steps before obtaining the improved search results. This makes the process inefficient and tedious search for the online applications. In this paper, a effective feedback related scheme for content-based image retrieval is proposed. First, a decision boundary is learned via Support Vector Machine to filter the images in the database. Then, a ranking function for selecting the most informative samples will be calculated by defining a novel criterion that considers both the scores of Support Vector Machine function and similaritymetric between the "ideal query" and the images in the database. The experimental results on standard datasets have showed the effectiveness of the proposed method
LEARNING INTERACTION MEASURE WITH RELEVANCE FEEDBACK IN IMAGE RETRIEVAL
Relevance feedback is an eective approach to bridge the gap between low-level featureextraction and high-level semantic concept in content-based image retrieval (CBIR). In this paper,we further improve the use of users feedback with multi-feature query and the Choquet integral.Taking into account the interaction among feature sets, feedback information are used to adjust thefeature's relevance weights that are considered as the fuzzy density values in the Choquet integralto dene the overall similarity measure between two images. The feature weight adjustment andintegration aims at minimizing the dierence between users desire and outcome of the retrieval system.Experimental results on several benchmark datasets have shown the eectiveness of the proposedmethod in improving the quality of CBIR systems
The United States COVID-19 Forecast Hub dataset
Academic researchers, government agencies, industry groups, and individuals have produced forecasts at an unprecedented scale during the COVID-19 pandemic. To leverage these forecasts, the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) partnered with an academic research lab at the University of Massachusetts Amherst to create the US COVID-19 Forecast Hub. Launched in April 2020, the Forecast Hub is a dataset with point and probabilistic forecasts of incident cases, incident hospitalizations, incident deaths, and cumulative deaths due to COVID-19 at county, state, and national, levels in the United States. Included forecasts represent a variety of modeling approaches, data sources, and assumptions regarding the spread of COVID-19. The goal of this dataset is to establish a standardized and comparable set of short-term forecasts from modeling teams. These data can be used to develop ensemble models, communicate forecasts to the public, create visualizations, compare models, and inform policies regarding COVID-19 mitigation. These open-source data are available via download from GitHub, through an online API, and through R packages

Towards 6G wireless communication networks: vision, enabling technologies, and new paradigm shifts
The fifth generation (5G) wireless communication networks are being deployed worldwide from 2020 and more capabilities are in the process of being standardized, such as mass connectivity, ultra-reliability, and guaranteed low latency. However, 5G will not meet all requirements of the future in 2030 and beyond, and sixth generation (6G) wireless communication networks are expected to provide global coverage, enhanced spectral/energy/cost efficiency, better intelligence level and security, etc. To meet these requirements, 6G networks will rely on new enabling technologies, i.e., air interface and transmission technologies and novel network architecture, such as waveform design, multiple access, channel coding schemes, multi-antenna technologies, network slicing, cell-free architecture, and cloud/fog/edge computing. Our vision on 6G is that it will have four new paradigm shifts. First, to satisfy the requirement of global coverage, 6G will not be limited to terrestrial communication networks, which will need to be complemented with non-terrestrial networks such as satellite and unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) communication networks, thus achieving a space-air-ground-sea integrated communication network. Second, all spectra will be fully explored to further increase data rates and connection density, including the sub-6 GHz, millimeter wave (mmWave), terahertz (THz), and optical frequency bands. Third, facing the big datasets generated by the use of extremely heterogeneous networks, diverse communication scenarios, large numbers of antennas, wide bandwidths, and new service requirements, 6G networks will enable a new range of smart applications with the aid of artificial intelligence (AI) and big data technologies. Fourth, network security will have to be strengthened when developing 6G networks. This article provides a comprehensive survey of recent advances and future trends in these four aspects. Clearly, 6G with additional technical requirements beyond those of 5G will enable faster and further communications to the extent that the boundary between physical and cyber worlds disappears.Funding Agencies|National Key R&D Program of China [2018YFB1801101]; National Natural Science Foundation of ChinaNational Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC) [61960206006, 61901109]; Frontiers Science Center for Mobile Information Communication and Security; High Level Innovation and Entrepreneurial Research Team Program in Jiangsu; High Level Innovation and Entrepreneurial Talent Introduction Program in Jiangsu; National Postdoctoral Program for Innovative Talents [BX20180062]; Research Fund of National Mobile Communications Research Laboratory, Southeast University [2020B01]; Fundamental Research Funds for the Central UniversitiesFundamental Research Funds for the Central Universities [2242020R30001]</p
