- ItemSemi-supervised identification of rarely appearing persons in video by correcting weak labels(New York City : Association for Computing Machinery, 2016) Müller, Eric; Otto, Christian; Ewerth, RalphSome recent approaches for character identification in movies and TV broadcasts are realized in a semi-supervised manner by assigning transcripts and/or subtitles to the speakers. However, the labels obtained in this way achieve only an accuracy of 80% - 90% and the number of training examples for the different actors is unevenly distributed. In this paper, we propose a novel approach for person identification in video by correcting and extending the training data with reliable predictions to reduce the number of annotation errors. Furthermore, the intra-class diversity of rarely speaking characters is enhanced. To address the imbalance of training data per person, we suggest two complementary prediction scores. These scores are also used to recognize whether or not a face track belongs to a (supporting) character whose identity does not appear in the transcript etc. Experimental results demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed approach, outperforming the current state of the art.
- ItemNegative plasmon dispersion in 2H-NbS2 beyond the charge-density-wave interpretation(Milton Park : Taylor & Francis, 2016) Cudazzo, Pierluigi; Müller, Eric; Habenicht, Carsten; Gatti, Matteo; Berger, Helmuth; Knupfer, Martin; Rubio, Angel; Huotari, SimoWe examine the experimental and theoretical electron-energy loss spectra in 2H-${\mathrm{Cu}}_{0.2}$NbS2 and find that the 1 eV plasmon in this material does not exhibit the regular positive quadratic plasmon dispersion that would be expected for a normal broad-parabolic-band system. Instead we find a nearly non-dispersing plasmon in the momentum-transfer range $q\lt 0.35$ Å−1. We argue that for a stoichiometric pure 2H-NbS2 the dispersion relation is expected to have a negative slope as is the case for other transition-metal dichalcogenides. The presence of Cu impurities, required to stabilize the crystal growth, tends to shift the negative plasmon dispersion into a positive one, but the doping level in the current system is small enough to result in a nearly-non-dispersing plasmon. We conclude that a negative-slope plasmon dispersion is not connected with the existence of a charge-density-wave order in transition metal dichalcogenides.
