Configuration-constrained potential energy surface calculations have been performed to investigate four-quasiparticle high- K configurations in neutron-deficient lead and polonium isotopes. A good agreement between the calculations and the experimental data has been found for the excitation energy of the observed K π = 19 − state in 188 Pb. Several lowly excited high- K states are predicted, and the large oblate deformation and low energy indicate high- K isomerism in these nuclei.

In this paper, a group-sensitive multiple kernel learning (GS-MKL) method is proposed for object recognition to accommodate the intra-class diversity and the inter-class correlation. By introducing the group between the object category and individual images as an intermediate representation, GS-MKL attempts to learn group-sensitive multi-kernel combinations together with the associated classifier. For each object category, the image corpus from the same category is partitioned into groups. Images with similar appearance are partitioned into the same group, which corresponds to the sub-category of the object category. Accordingly, intra-class diversity can be represented by the set of groups from the same category but with diverse appearances; Inter-class correlation can be represented by the correlation between the groups from different categories. GS-MKL provides a tractable solution to adapt multikernel combination to local data distribution and to seek a trade-off between capturing the diversity and keeping the invariance for each object category. Different from the simple hybrid grouping strategy that solves sample grouping and GS-MKL training independently, two sample grouping strategies are proposed to integrate sample grouping and GS-MKL training. The first one is looping hybrid grouping method where global kernel clustering method and GS-MKL interact with each other by sharing group-sensitive multi- kernel combination. The second one is dynamic divisive grouping method where hierarchical kernel-based grouping process interacts with GS-MKL. Experimental results show that performance of GS-MKL does not vary significantly with different grouping strategies, but looping hybrid grouping method produces slightly better results. On four challenging datasets, our proposed method has achieved encouraging performance comparable to the state-of-the-art and outperformed several existing MKL methods.
