Palladium-catalyzed synthesis of aldehydes from aryl iodides and formic acid with propylphosphonic anhydride as the activator
An interesting palladium-catalyzed carbonylative procedure for the synthesis of aromatic aldehydes from aryl iodides has been developed. By using propylphosphonic anhydride as the activator for formic acid, moderate to good yields of the corresponding aldehydes were produced with formic acid as the carbonyl and hydrogen donors. Interestingly, neither additional phosphine ligand nor inert gas protection is needed here
Learning Adaptive Discriminative Correlation Filters via Temporal Consistency Preserving Spatial Feature Selection for Robust Visual Tracking
With efficient appearance learning models, Discriminative Correlation Filter
(DCF) has been proven to be very successful in recent video object tracking
benchmarks and competitions. However, the existing DCF paradigm suffers from
two major issues, i.e., spatial boundary effect and temporal filter
degradation. To mitigate these challenges, we propose a new DCF-based tracking
method. The key innovations of the proposed method include adaptive spatial
feature selection and temporal consistent constraints, with which the new
tracker enables joint spatial-temporal filter learning in a lower dimensional
discriminative manifold. More specifically, we apply structured spatial
sparsity constraints to multi-channel filers. Consequently, the process of
learning spatial filters can be approximated by the lasso regularisation. To
encourage temporal consistency, the filter model is restricted to lie around
its historical value and updated locally to preserve the global structure in
the manifold. Last, a unified optimisation framework is proposed to jointly
select temporal consistency preserving spatial features and learn
discriminative filters with the augmented Lagrangian method. Qualitative and
quantitative evaluations have been conducted on a number of well-known
benchmarking datasets such as OTB2013, OTB50, OTB100, Temple-Colour, UAV123 and
VOT2018. The experimental results demonstrate the superiority of the proposed
method over the state-of-the-art approaches
Neighborhood Matching Network for Entity Alignment
Structural heterogeneity between knowledge graphs is an outstanding challenge
for entity alignment. This paper presents Neighborhood Matching Network (NMN),
a novel entity alignment framework for tackling the structural heterogeneity
challenge. NMN estimates the similarities between entities to capture both the
topological structure and the neighborhood difference. It provides two
innovative components for better learning representations for entity alignment.
It first uses a novel graph sampling method to distill a discriminative
neighborhood for each entity. It then adopts a cross-graph neighborhood
matching module to jointly encode the neighborhood difference for a given
entity pair. Such strategies allow NMN to effectively construct
matching-oriented entity representations while ignoring noisy neighbors that
have a negative impact on the alignment task. Extensive experiments performed
on three entity alignment datasets show that NMN can well estimate the
neighborhood similarity in more tough cases and significantly outperforms 12
previous state-of-the-art methods.Comment: 11 pages, accepted by ACL 202
