The random selection of 'pool_prop' before matching and selection about ccm HOT 1 CLOSED

Hello,

Thanks for your interest in our paper.

1. There exist some fluctuations in performance, so I encourage you to perform multiple runs.
2. The main contribution of our paper is how to avoid negative transfer by selectively search positive source samples. The experiment result also justifies that our approach could achieve competitive results with about 1K source images.
3. The pool_prop is designed to minimize the pool size for source selection. We found that, employing 20% of source samples randomly, already enables our selection criterion to find positive samples. You surely could disable such a random process, which means you need to enumerate the whole source set (24996 images).
4. About the motivation of our source selection, I encourage you to refer to our paper for more details.
