In this work we propose a new task: artistic visualization of classical Chinese poems, where the goal is to generatepaintings of a certain artistic style for classical Chinese poems. For this purpose, we construct a new dataset called Paint4Poem. Thefirst part of Paint4Poem consists of 301 high-quality poem-painting pairs collected manually from an influential modern Chinese artistFeng Zikai. As its small scale poses challenges for effectively training poem-to-painting generation models, we introduce the secondpart of Paint4Poem, which consists of 3,648 caption-painting pairs collected manually from Feng Zikai's paintings and 89,204 poem-painting pairs collected automatically from the web. We expect the former to help learning the artist painting style as it containshis most paintings, and the latter to help learning the semantic relevance between poems and paintings. Further, we analyze Paint4Poem regarding poem diversity, painting style, and the semantic relevance between poems and paintings. We create abenchmark for Paint4Poem: we train two representative text-to-image generation models: AttnGAN and MirrorGAN, and evaluate theirperformance regarding painting pictorial quality, painting stylistic relevance, and semantic relevance between poems and paintings.The results indicate that the models are able to generate paintings that have good pictorial quality and mimic Feng Zikai's style, but thereflection of poem semantics is limited. The dataset also poses many interesting research directions on this task, including transferlearning, few-shot learning, text-to-image generation for low-resource data etc. The dataset is publicly available.(https://github.com/paint4poem/paint4poem)

A method based on one class support vector machine (OCSVM) is proposed for class incremental learning. Several OCSVM models divide the input space into several parts. Then, the 1VS1 classifiers are constructed for the confuse part by using the support vectors. During the class incremental learning process, the OCSVM of the new class is trained at first. Then the support vectors of the old classes and the support vectors of the new class are reused to train 1VS1 classifiers for the confuse part. In order to bring more information to the certain support vectors, the support vectors are at the boundary of the distribution of samples as much as possible when the OCSVM is built. Compared with the traditional methods, the proposed method retains the original model and thus reduces memory consumption and training time cost. Various experiments on different datasets also verify the efficiency of the proposed method.

With the development of deep learning, the performance of hyperspectral image (HSI) classification has been greatly improved in recent years. The shortage of training samples has become a bottleneck for further improvement of performance. In this paper, we propose a novel convolutional neural network framework for the characteristics of hyperspectral image data, called HSI-CNN. Firstly, the spectral-spatial feature is extracted from a target pixel and its neighbors. Then, a number of one-dimensional feature maps, obtained by convolution operation on spectral-spatial features, are stacked into a two-dimensional matrix. Finally, the two-dimensional matrix considered as an image is fed into standard CNN. This is why we call it HSI-CNN. In addition, we also implements two depth network classification models, called HSI-CNN+XGBoost and HSI-CapsNet, in order to compare the performance of our framework. Experiments show that the performance of hyperspectral image classification is improved efficiently with HSI-CNN framework. We evaluate the model's performance using four popular HSI datasets, which are the Kennedy Space Center (KSC), Indian Pines (IP), Pavia University scene (PU) and Salinas scene (SA). As far as we concerned, HSI-CNN has got the state-of-art accuracy among all methods we have known on these datasets of 99.28%, 99.09%, 99.42%, 98.95% separately.
