This work focuses on the problem of high quality style transfer for Chinese characters, converting Chinese printed with standard typograph into those in calligraphic style. Traditional approaches include employing derivative network structures of CNN, RNN, and GAN, yet generation results are not satisfactory enough. In this paper, we proposed an integrated system of pix2pix structure, auxiliary classifier, and WGAN. Trials were run to evaluate the performance of traditional CNN and GAN. Cross-comparative sets of experiments among GAN, AC-GAN, and our proposed AC-WGAN have been conducted to test the capabilities of our proposed model. Inference and interpolation tests are conducted as well. Our proposed model outperformed existing style transfer system in generation’s delicacy, similarity, and efficiency. Incorporated with WGAN, the model also demonstrated a strong ability in providing a truthful training indicator with its loss. Study also suggested that AC and pix2pix adaption hold huge significance in accelerating the training process. Research validates the viability of fulfilling Chinese character transformation with style transfer. With handwriting recognition network, fast, high-quality Chinese character style transfer forms the basis for instantaneous conversion between printed and written work. Optimization on algorithm may be another direction for further exploration.

Dijkstra and Bellman-ford are the two basic methods to solve Single-source shortest paths problem，and SPFA is the optimized version of Bellman-ford. However, since the algorithm time complexity is 0 (kn), SPFA’s time efficiency has some instabilities. This paper will compare the time efficiency between Dijkstra optimized with heap and three kinds of SPFA in different density graphs. Meanwhile, random data is created to test optimized Dijkstra and 3 types of SPFA. Finally, according to the calculation result of two methods’ time efficiency, some suggestion is given for their application under different situation.

▲With the rapid development of bicycle-sharing system since 2016, illegal parking has become one of the most significant social issues. While the existing management methods cannot meet the demand, object detection technology provides a possibility. The Video Surveillance System can be utilized as a rich source of information. However, there is technical challenge to handle complex scenarios. Faster R-CNN, chosen because of its excellent overall performance, cannot specify the proposals of shared bikes especially in distant view. Processing the consecutive images in videos is neither necessary nor efficient. The original results are limited by interference of moving bikes and blocking effects. ▲ In this paper, I introduce a Faster R-CNN over Attention (FoA) that combines the from-coarse-to-fine visual mechanism with deep neural networks. FoA realizes fine-grained detection of shared bikes in complex circumstances. It consists of an Attention Region Extraction (ARE) and an optimized Faster R-CNN. In ARE, I introduce the concept of Attention Region and define it as video background, then apply Gaussian Mixture Model. ARE processes the surveillance video into discrete regions, allowing concentration on certain areas and efficiency in detection. In Faster R-CNN, I put forward an anchor box optimization in regards of the remarkable region-based characteristic in R-CNN. The optimization applies k-means to refine the anchor boxes and generate more appropriate region proposals. ▲ I construct a categorized shared bike data set of 4,291 images and 12,697 labeled objects for FoA training and testing. FoA performs excellently with the detection and recognition ratios of 94.19% and 92.73% respectively. The optimization is proved to make a difference. ▲ The paper not only provides a new direction for solving illegal parking issue and managing bicycle-sharing system, but also generalizes FoA into a new detection framework of Attention Region Extraction plus Region-Based Convolutional Neural Network, which can be applied to certain object detection in various scenes. The mechanism that combines ARE and R-CNN organically allows the towards-real-time detection to possess both practicality and universality. FoA is one of its robust implements.

A circle family is a group of separate or tangent circles in the plane. In this paper, we study how many parts at most a plane can be divided by several circle families if the circles in a same family must be separate (resp. if the circles can be tangent). We also study the necessary conditions for the intersection of two circle families. Then we primarily discuss the similar problems in higher dimensional space and in the end,raise some conjectures.
