Diving Deep into Sentiment: Understanding Fine-tuned CNNs for Visual Sentiment Prediction
Visual media are powerful means of expressing emotions and sentiments. The
constant generation of new content in social networks highlights the need of
automated visual sentiment analysis tools. While Convolutional Neural Networks
(CNNs) have established a new state-of-the-art in several vision problems,
their application to the task of sentiment analysis is mostly unexplored and
there are few studies regarding how to design CNNs for this purpose. In this
work, we study the suitability of fine-tuning a CNN for visual sentiment
prediction as well as explore performance boosting techniques within this deep
learning setting. Finally, we provide a deep-dive analysis into a benchmark,
state-of-the-art network architecture to gain insight about how to design
patterns for CNNs on the task of visual sentiment prediction.Comment: Preprint of the paper accepted at the 1st Workshop on Affect and

First-principles study of phenyl ethylene oligomers as current-switch
We use a self-consistent method to study the distinct current-switch of
-amino-4-ethynylphenyl-4'-ethynylphenyl-5'-nitro-1-benzenethiol, from
the first-principles calculations. The numerical results are in accord with the
early experiment [Reed et al., Sci. Am. \textbf{282}, 86 (2000)]. To further
investigate the transport mechanism, we calculate the switching behavior of
p-terphenyl with the rotations of the middle ring as well. We also study the
effect of hydrogen atom substituting one ending sulfur atom on the transport
and find that the asymmetry of I-V curves appears and the switch effect still
lies in both the positive and negative bias range.Comment: 6 pages, 6 figure
Single chargino production via gluon-gluon fusion in a supersymmetric theory with an explicit R-parity violation
We studied the production of single chargino
accompanied by lepton via gluon-gluon fusion at the LHC. The
numerical analysis of their production rates is carried out in the mSUGRA
scenario with some typical parameter sets. The results show that the cross
sections of the productions via gluon-gluon
collision are in the order of femto barn quantitatively at the
CERN LHC, and can be competitive with production mechanism via quark-antiquark
annihilation process.Comment: LaTex file, 18 pages, 4 EPS file
Polarization Induced Switching Effect in Graphene Nanoribbon Edge-Defect Junction
With nonequilibrium Green's function approach combined with density
functional theory, we perform an ab initio calculation to investigate transport
properties of graphene nanoribbon junctions self-consistently. Tight-binding
approximation is applied to model the zigzag graphene nanoribbon (ZGNR)
electrodes, and its validity is confirmed by comparison with GAUSSIAN03 PBC
calculation of the same system. The origin of abnormal jump points usually
appearing in the transmission spectrum is explained with the detailed
tight-binding ZGNR band structure. Transport property of an edge defect ZGNR
junction is investigated, and the tunable tunneling current can be sensitively
controlled by transverse electric fields.Comment: 18 pages, 8 figure
Spin relaxation in an InAs quantum dot in the presence of terahertz driving fields
The spin relaxation in a 1D InAs quantum dot with the Rashba spin-orbit
coupling under driving THz magnetic fields is investigated by developing the
kinetic equation with the help of the Floquet-Markov theory, which is
generalized to the system with the spin-orbit coupling, to include both the
strong driving field and the electron-phonon scattering. The spin relaxation
time can be effectively prolonged or shortened by the terahertz magnetic field
depending on the frequency and strength of the terahertz magnetic field. The
effect can be understood as the sideband-modulated spin-phonon scattering. This
offers an additional way to manipulate the spin relaxation time.Comment: 8 pages, 1 figure, to be published in PR

Provision of secondary frequency regulation by coordinated dispatch of industrial loads and thermal power plants
Demand responsive industrial loads with high thermal inertia have potential to provide ancillary service for frequency regulation in the power market. To capture the benefit, this study proposes a new hierarchical framework to coordinate the demand responsive industrial loads with thermal power plants in an industrial park for secondary frequency control. In the proposed framework, demand responsive loads and generating resources are coordinated for optimal dispatch in two-time scales: (1) the regulation reserve of the industrial park is optimally scheduled in a day-ahead manner. The stochastic regulation signal is replaced by the specific extremely trajectories. Furthermore, the extremely trajectories are achieved by the day-ahead predicted regulation mileage. The resulting benefit is to transform the stochastic reserve scheduling problem into a deterministic optimization; (2) a model predictive control strategy is proposed to dispatch the industry park in real time with an objective to maximize the revenue. The proposed technology is tested using a real-world industrial electrolysis power system based upon Pennsylvania, Jersey, and Maryland (PJM) power market. Various scenarios are simulated to study the performance of the proposed approach to enable industry parks to provide ancillary service into the power market. The simulation results indicate that an industrial park with a capacity of 500 MW can provide up to 40 MW ancillary service for participation in the secondary frequency regulation. The proposed strategy is demonstrated to be capable of maintaining the economic and secure operation of the industrial park while satisfying performance requirements from the real world regulation market
Hyperpolarizabilities for the one-dimensional infinite single-electron periodic systems: II. Dipole-dipole versus current-current correlations
Based on Takayama-Lin-Liu-Maki model, analytical expressions for the
third-harmonic generation, DC Kerr effect, DC-induced second harmonic optical
Kerr effect, optical Kerr effect or intensity-dependent index of refraction and
DC-electric-field-induced optical rectification are derived under the static
current-current() correlation for one-dimensional infinite chains. The
results of hyperpolarizabilities under correlation are then compared
with those obtained using the dipole-dipole () correlation. The comparison
shows that the conventional correlation, albeit quite successful for
the linear case, is incorrect for studying the nonlinear optical properties of
periodic systems.Comment: 11 pages, 5 figure
