Semi-Supervised Learning by Augmented Distribution Alignment
In this work, we propose a simple yet effective semi-supervised learning
approach called Augmented Distribution Alignment. We reveal that an essential
sampling bias exists in semi-supervised learning due to the limited number of
labeled samples, which often leads to a considerable empirical distribution
mismatch between labeled data and unlabeled data. To this end, we propose to
align the empirical distributions of labeled and unlabeled data to alleviate
the bias. On one hand, we adopt an adversarial training strategy to minimize
the distribution distance between labeled and unlabeled data as inspired by
domain adaptation works. On the other hand, to deal with the small sample size
issue of labeled data, we also propose a simple interpolation strategy to
generate pseudo training samples. Those two strategies can be easily
implemented into existing deep neural networks. We demonstrate the
effectiveness of our proposed approach on the benchmark SVHN and CIFAR10
datasets. Our code is available at \url{https://github.com/qinenergy/adanet}.Comment: To appear in ICCV 201
Semiclassical Approach to Survival Probability at Quantum Phase Transitions
We study the decay of survival probability at quantum phase transitions
(QPT). The semiclassical theory is found applicable in the vicinities of
critical points with infinite degeneracy. The theory predicts a power law decay
of the survival probability for relatively long times in systems with d=1 and
an exponential decay in systems with sufficiently large d, where d is the
degrees of freedom of the underlying classical dynamics. The semiclassical
predictions are checked numerically in four models.Comment: 4 pages, 3 figures; published versio
Complexity and instability of quantum motion near a quantum phase transition
We show that the number of harmonics of the Wigner function, recently
proposed as a measure of quantum complexity, can be also used to characterize
quantum phase transitions. The non-analytic behavior of this quantity in the
neighborhood of a quantum phase transition is illustrated by means of the Dicke
model and is compared to two well-known measures of the (in)stability of
quantum motion, the quantum Loschmidt echo and the fidelity.Comment: 9 pages, 5 figure
ZHOU DUNYI’S CONCEPT OF TAIJI IN THE TAIJI TUSHUO
As a renowned philosopher of Song Dynasty, Zhou Dunyi played a significant role in creating a new approach for Chinese philosophy. This involved a reinterpretation of Confucianism inspired by the ideas of Daoism and Buddhism. This was a huge influence in the development of Neo-Confucian thought. He did not write many works in his life, but he did write a very significant work entitled Taiji Tushuo, which explains the famous Taiji diagram. This paper mainly introduces the historical context and formative influences on Zhou Dunyi’s Taiji Tushuo, the content of Taiji Tushuo and its main concepts. It will also try to assess the modern social value of Taiji thought. The purpose of this paper is to give readers a clear picture of Taiji and the concept of Taiji thought
