Abstract:
Provided is a magnetron source, which comprises a target material, a magnetron located thereabove and a scanning mechanism connected to the magnetron for controlling the movement of the magnetron above the target material. The scanning mechanism comprises a peach-shaped track, with the magnetron movably disposed thereon; a first driving shaft, with the bottom end thereof connected with the origin of the polar coordinates of the peach-shaped track, for driving the peach-shaped track to rotate about the axis of the first driving shaft; a first driver connected to the first driving shaft for driving the first driving shaft to rotate; and a second driver for driving the magnetron to move along the peach-shaped track via a transmission assembly. A magnetron sputtering device including the magnetron and a method for magnetron sputtering using the magnetron sputtering device are also provided.

Abstract:
Some implementations provide techniques and arrangements to perform image retrieval. For example, some implementations identify an object of interest and a visual context in a first image. In some implementations, a second image that includes a second object of interest and a second visual context may be compared to the object of interest and the visual content, respectively, to determine whether the second image matches the first image.

Abstract:
Techniques described herein create an accurate active-learning model that takes into account a sample selection bias of elements, such as images, selected for labeling by a user. These techniques select a first set of elements for labeling. Once a user labels these elements, the techniques calculate a sample selection bias of the selected elements and train a model that takes into account the sample selection bias. The techniques then select a second set of elements based, in part, on a sample selection bias of the elements. Again, once a user labels the second set of elements the techniques train the model while taking into account the calculated sample selection bias. Once the trained model satisfies a predefined stop condition, the techniques use the trained model to predict labels for the remaining unlabeled elements.
Abstract:
This document describes techniques that utilize a learning method to generate a ranking model for use in image search systems. The techniques leverage textual information and visual information simultaneously when generating the ranking model. The tools are further configured to apply the ranking model responsive to receiving an image search query.
Abstract:
An adaptation process is described to adapt a ranking model constructed for a broad-based search engine for use with a domain-specific ranking model. An example process identifies a ranking model for use with a broad-based search engine and modifies that ranking model for use with a new (or “target”) domain containing information pertaining to a specific topic.
Abstract:
Attractiveness of an image may be estimated by integrating extracted visual features with contextual cues pertaining to the image. Image attractiveness may be defined by the visual features (e.g., perceptual quality, aesthetic sensitivity, and/or affective tone) of elements contained within the image. Images may be indexed based on the estimated attractiveness, search results may be presented based on image attractiveness, and/or a user may elect, after receiving image search results, to re-rank the image search results by attractiveness.
