Calculation of the Branching Ratio of in PQCD
The branching ratio of is re-evaluated in the PQCD approach.
In this theoretical framework all the phenomenological parameters in the
wavefunctions and Sudakov factor are priori fixed by fitting other experimental
data, and in the whole numerical computations we do not introduce any new
parameter. Our results are consistent with the upper bounds set by the Babar
and Belle measurements.Comment: 12 pages, 1 figure, version to appear in Phys. Rev.
Multi-scale Deep Learning Architectures for Person Re-identification
Person Re-identification (re-id) aims to match people across non-overlapping
camera views in a public space. It is a challenging problem because many people
captured in surveillance videos wear similar clothes. Consequently, the
differences in their appearance are often subtle and only detectable at the
right location and scales. Existing re-id models, particularly the recently
proposed deep learning based ones match people at a single scale. In contrast,
in this paper, a novel multi-scale deep learning model is proposed. Our model
is able to learn deep discriminative feature representations at different
scales and automatically determine the most suitable scales for matching. The
importance of different spatial locations for extracting discriminative
features is also learned explicitly. Experiments are carried out to demonstrate
that the proposed model outperforms the state-of-the art on a number of
benchmarksComment: 9 pages, 3 figures, accepted by ICCV 201
Sketch-a-Net that Beats Humans
We propose a multi-scale multi-channel deep neural network framework that,
for the first time, yields sketch recognition performance surpassing that of
humans. Our superior performance is a result of explicitly embedding the unique
characteristics of sketches in our model: (i) a network architecture designed
for sketch rather than natural photo statistics, (ii) a multi-channel
generalisation that encodes sequential ordering in the sketching process, and
(iii) a multi-scale network ensemble with joint Bayesian fusion that accounts
for the different levels of abstraction exhibited in free-hand sketches. We
show that state-of-the-art deep networks specifically engineered for photos of
natural objects fail to perform well on sketch recognition, regardless whether
they are trained using photo or sketch. Our network on the other hand not only
delivers the best performance on the largest human sketch dataset to date, but
also is small in size making efficient training possible using just CPUs.Comment: Accepted to BMVC 2015 (oral
Phase structures of strong coupling lattice QCD with overlap fermions at finite temperature and chemical potential
We perform the first study of lattice QCD with overlap fermions at finite
temperature and chemical potential . We start from the Taylor expanded
overlap fermion action, and derive in the strong coupling limit the effective
free energy by mean field approximation. On the () plane and in the
chiral limit, there is a tricritical point, separating the second order chiral
phase transition line at small and large , and first order chiral
phase transition line at large and small
