Image similarity measurement is a fundamental problem in the field of computer vision. It is widely used in image classification, object detection, image retrieval, and other fields, mostly through Siamese or triplet networks. These networks consist of two or three identical branches of convolutional neural network (CNN) and share their weights to obtain the high-level image feature representations so that similar images are mapped close to each other in the feature space, and dissimilar image pairs are mapped far from each other. Especially, the triplet network is known as the state-of-the-art method on image similarity measurement. However, the basic CNN can only handle fixed-size images. If we obtain a fixed size image via cutting or scaling, the information of the image will be lost and the recognition accuracy will be reduced. To solve the problem, this paper has proposed the triplet spatial pyramid pooling network (TSPP-Net) through combing the triplet convolution neural network with the spatial pyramid pooling. Additionally, we propose an improved triplet loss function, so that the network model can realize twice distance learning by only inputting three samples at one time. Through the theoretical analysis and experiments, it is proved that the TSPP-Net model and the improved triple loss function can improve the generalization ability and the accuracy of image similarity measurement algorithm.
This paper proposed a recommendation model called RM-SA, which is based on multi-emotional analysis in networks. In the RM-MES scheme, the recommendation values of goods are primarily derived from the probabilities calculated by a similar existing recommendation system during the initiation stage of the recommendation system. First, the behaviors of those users can be divided into three aspects, including browsing goods, buying goods only, and purchasing–evaluating goods. Then, the characteristics of goods and the emotional information of user are considered to determine similarities between users and stores. We chose the most similar shop as the reference existing shop in the experiment. Then, the recommendation probability matrix of both the existing store and the new store is computed based on the similarities between users and target user, who are randomly selected. Finally, we used co-purchasing metadata from Amazon and a certain kind of comments to verify the effectiveness and performance of the RM-MES scheme proposed in this paper through comprehensive experiments. The final results showed that the precision, recall, and F1-measure were increased by 19.07%, 20.73% and 21.02% respectively.
