Deep learning based real-time tourist spots detection and recognition mechanism.

More and more information on tourist spots is being represented as pictures rather than text. Consequently, tourists who are interested in a specific attraction shown in pictures may have no idea how to perform a text search to get more information about the interesting tourist spots. In the view of this problem and to enhance the competitiveness of the tourism market, this research proposes an innovative tourist spot identification mechanism, which is based on deep learning-based object detection technology, for real-time detection and identification of tourist spots by taking pictures on location or retrieving images from the Internet.

Organocatalyzed asymmetric tandem conjugate addition-protonation of isocyanoacetates to 2-chloroacrylonitrile.

An efficient organocatalytic asymmetric tandem conjugate addition-protonation of α-substituted isocyanoacetates to 2-chloroacrylonitrile catalyzed by dihydroquinine-derived thiourea has been investigated, affording the corresponding adducts with two non-adjacent tertiary-quaternary stereocenters in excellent yields (up to 99%) along with good to excellent diastereo- and enantioselectivities (up to 20 : 1 dr, up to 95% ee) under mild conditions. The adduct can also be transformed into chiral γ-lactam by synthetic transformations.
