Shaping Deep Feature Space towards Gaussian Mixture for Visual Classification

Kavli Affiliate: Jiansheng Chen | First 5 Authors: Weitao Wan, Jiansheng Chen, Cheng Yu, Tong Wu, Yuanyi Zhong | Summary: The softmax cross-entropy loss function has been widely used to train deep models for various tasks. In this work, we propose a Gaussian mixture (GM) loss function for deep neural networks for visual classification. Unlike […]

A Review of Generalized Zero-Shot Learning Methods

Kavli Affiliate: Ran Wang | First 5 Authors: Farhad Pourpanah, Moloud Abdar, Yuxuan Luo, Xinlei Zhou, Ran Wang | Summary: Generalized zero-shot learning (GZSL) aims to train a model for classifying data samples under the condition that some output classes are unknown during supervised learning. To address this challenging task, GZSL leverages semantic information of […]

Dynamically Tagged Groups of Very Metal-poor Halo Stars from the HK and Hamburg/ESO Surveys

Kavli Affiliate: Anna Frebel | First 5 Authors: Guilherme Limberg, Silvia Rossi, Timothy C. Beers, Hélio D. Perottoni, Angeles Pérez-Villegas | Summary: We analyze the dynamical properties of $sim$1500 very metal-poor (VMP; [Fe/H] $lesssim -2.0$) halo stars, based primarily on medium-resolution spectroscopic data from the HK and Hamburg/ESO surveys. These data, collected over the past […]

From the Black Hole Conundrum to the Structure of Quantum Gravity

Kavli Affiliate: Yasunori Nomura | First 5 Authors: Yasunori Nomura, , , , | Summary: We portray the structure of quantum gravity emerging from recent progress in understanding the quantum mechanics of an evaporating black hole. Quantum gravity admits two different descriptions, based on Euclidean gravitational path integral and a unitarily evolving holographic quantum system, […]

On Rational Points in CFT Moduli Spaces

Kavli Affiliate: Hirosi Ooguri | First 5 Authors: Nathan Benjamin, Christoph A. Keller, Hirosi Ooguri, Ida G. Zadeh, | Summary: Motivated by the search for rational points in moduli spaces of two-dimensional conformal field theories, we investigate how points with enhanced symmetry algebras are distributed there. We first study the bosonic sigma-model with $S^1$ target […]
