Better Than Reference In Low Light Image Enhancement: Conditional Re-Enhancement Networks

1 code implementation26 Aug 2020 Yu Zhang, Xiaoguang Di, Bin Zhang, Ruihang Ji, Chunhui Wang

The network takes low light images as input and the enhanced V channel as condition, then it can re-enhance the contrast and brightness of the low light image and at the same time reduce noise and color distortion.

Boosting Retailer Revenue by Generated Optimized Combined Multiple Digital Marketing Campaigns

no code implementations9 Sep 2020 Yafei Xu, Tian Xie, Yu Zhang

Secondly, based on the sub-modular optimization theory and the DMC pool by DMCNet, the generated combined multiple DMCs are ranked with respect to their revenue generation strength then the top three ranked campaigns are returned to the sellers' back-end management system, so that retailers can set combined multiple DMCs for their online shops just in one-shot.
