Joint Intermodal and Intramodal Label Transfers for Extremely Rare or Unseen Classes
In this paper, we present a label transfer model from texts to images for
image classification tasks. The problem of image classification is often much
more challenging than text classification. On one hand, labeled text data is
more widely available than the labeled images for classification tasks. On the
other hand, text data tends to have natural semantic interpretability, and they
are often more directly related to class labels. On the contrary, the image
features are not directly related to concepts inherent in class labels. One of
our goals in this paper is to develop a model for revealing the functional
relationships between text and image features as to directly transfer
intermodal and intramodal labels to annotate the images. This is implemented by
learning a transfer function as a bridge to propagate the labels between two
multimodal spaces. However, the intermodal label transfers could be undermined
by blindly transferring the labels of noisy texts to annotate images. To
mitigate this problem, we present an intramodal label transfer process, which
complements the intermodal label transfer by transferring the image labels
instead when relevant text is absent from the source corpus. In addition, we
generalize the inter-modal label transfer to zero-shot learning scenario where
there are only text examples available to label unseen classes of images
without any positive image examples. We evaluate our algorithm on an image
classification task and show the effectiveness with respect to the other
compared algorithms.Comment: The paper has been accepted by IEEE Transactions on Pattern Analysis

Influence of unsymmetrical periodicity on extraordinary transmission through periodic arrays of subwavelength holes
Quadrate hole array is explored to study the influence of unsymmetrical
periodicity on extraordinary optical transmission through periodic arrays of
subwavelength holes. It is found that the transmission efficiency of light and
the ratio between transmission efficiencies of horizontal and vertical
polarized light can be continuously tuned by rotating the quadrate hole array.
We can calculate out the transmission spectra (including the heights and
locations of peaks) for any rotation angle with a simple theoretical
model.Comment: 6 pages, 5 figure
Kinematic properties of the dual AGN system J0038+4128 based on long-slit spectroscopy
The study of kiloparsec-scale dual active galactic nuclei (AGN) will provide
important clues to understand the co-evolution between the host galaxies and
their central supermassive black holes undergoing a merging process. We present
long-slit spectroscopy of the J00384128, a kiloparsec-scale dual AGN
candidate discovered by Huang et al. recently, using the Yunnan Faint Object
Spectrograph and Camera (YFOSC) mounted on Li-Jiang 2.4-m telescope at Yunnan
observatories. From the long-slit spectra, we find that the average relative
line-of-sight (LOS) velocity between the two nuclei (J00384128N and
J00384128S) is about 150 km s. The LOS velocities of the emission
lines from the gas ionized by the nuclei activities and of the absorption lines
from stars governed by the host galaxies for different regions of the
J00384128 exhibit the same trend. The same velocities trend indicates that
the gaseous disks are co-rotating with the stellar disks in this ongoing merge
system. We also find several knots/giant HII regions scattered around the two
nuclei with strong star formation revealed by the observed line ratios from the
spectra. Those regions are also detected clearly in HST -band and HST
-band images.Comment: 12 pages, 5 figures, 3 tables, Research in Astronomy and Astrophysics

Fundamental aspects of solid dispersion technology for poorly soluble drugs
AbstractThe solid dispersion has become an established solubilization technology for poorly water soluble drugs. Since a solid dispersion is basically a drug–polymer two-component system, the drug–polymer interaction is the determining factor in its design and performance. In this review, we summarize our current understanding of solid dispersions both in the solid state and in dissolution, emphasizing the fundamental aspects of this important technology
