description: We consider the distributional connection between the lossy compressed representation of a high-dimensional signal $X$ using a random spherical code and the observation of $X$ under an additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN). We show that the Wasserstein distance between a bitrate-$R$ compressed version of $X$ and its observation under an AWGN-channel of signal-to-noise ratio $2^{2R}-1$ is sub-linear in the problem dimension. We utilize this fact to connect the risk of an estimator based on an AWGN-corrupted version of $X$ to the risk attained by the same estimator when fed with its bitrate-$R$ quantized version. We demonstrate the usefulness of this connection by deriving various novel results for inference problems under compression constraints, including minimax estimation, sparse regression, compressed sensing, and the universality of linear estimation in remote source coding.

description: Devices based on two-dimensional photonic-crystal (2D-PC) nanocavities, which are defined by their air hole patterns, usually require a high quality (Q) factor to achieve high performance. We demonstrate that hole patterns with very high Q factors can be efficiently found by the iteration procedure consisting of: machine learning of the relation between the hole pattern and the corresponding Q factor, and new dataset generation based on the regression function obtained by machine learning. First a dataset comprising randomly generated cavity structures and their first principles Q factors is prepared. Then a deep neural network is trained using the initial dataset to obtain a regression function that approximately predicts the Q factors from the structural parameters. Several candidates for higher Q factors are chosen by searching the parameter space using the regression function. After adding these new structures and their first principles Q factors to the training dataset, the above process is repeated. As an example, a standard silicon-based L3 cavity is optimized by this method. A cavity design with a high Q factor exceeding 11 million is found within 101 iteration steps and a total of 8070 cavity structures. This theoretical Q factor is more than twice of the previously reported record values of the cavity designs detected by the evolutionary algorithm and the leaky mode visualization method. It is found that structures with higher Q factors can be detected within less iteration steps by exploring not only the parameter space near the present highest-Q structure but also that distant from the present dataset.

description: Anharmonicity of the inter-atomic potential is taken into account for the quantitative simulation of the conduction and valence band offsets for highly-strained semiconductor heterostructures. The anharmonicity leads to a weaker compressive hydrostatic strain than that obtained with the commonly used quasi-harmonic approximation of the Keating model. Inclusion of the anharmonicity in the simulation of strained InAs/GaAs nanostructures results in an improvement of the electron band offset computed on an atomistic level by up to 100 meV compared to experiment.

Integrative Review for Identifying Patients Appropriate for End-of-Life Care Interventions by
Creators: name: Ellis, Melissa
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2017

Background: End of life is defined as the last 12 months before a person dies, with 1% of the total population passing each year. Primary care providers can predict end of life and implement interventions. Early identification of patients for palliative care prevents crises, meets the needs of patients and families, and reduces the cost of healthcare. Screening for end-of-life care needs in primary care using the Gold Standards Framework (GSF) and the Prognostic Indicator Guidance (PIG) tool/surprise question will minimize risk of missed interventional opportunities.
Purpose: This educational intervention served to increase provider knowledge of the GSF and PIG, and supplied providers with resources for screening patients for end-of-life care needs.
Presentation and Toolkit: An educational presentation of this integrative review and resource packet was given to providers and staff in a primary care clinic. The packet contained current evidence, statistics, references, and resources available for patients and providers. The DNP student created an end-of-life care screening algorithm and an adapted screening tool, both of which were embedded in the resource packet.
Outcomes/Discussion: The DNP student successfully met the desired outcomes. Pre- (100%) and post-presentation (73%) surveys revealed a 100% increase in provider knowledge regarding the GSF, PIG, surprise question, and available resources. Respondents (100%) said they would use the packet and felt confident doing so. The algorithm was deemed helpful, easy to use and satisfied the providers desire for guidance in this process.
Implications/Conclusion: Implications for future practice include the effective and efficient use of the resource packet for early identification of end-of-life patients in primary care. The DNP student is available to consult and assist with implementation of the packet into practice.

description: Existing scalable superconducting quantum processors have only nearest-neighbor coupling. This leads to reduced circuit depth, requiring large series of gates to perform an arbitrary unitary operation in such systems. Recently, multi-modal devices have been demonstrated as a promising candidate for small quantum processor units. Always on longitudinal coupling in such circuits leads to implementation of native high fidelity multi-qubit gates. We propose an architecture using such devices as building blocks for a highly connected larger quantum circuit. To demonstrate a quantum operation between such blocks, a standard transmon is coupled to the multi-modal circuit using a 3D bus cavity giving rise to small exchange interaction between the transmon and one of the modes. We study the cross resonance interaction in such systems and characterize the entangling operation as well as the unitary imperfections and cross-talk as a function of device parameters. Finally, we tune up the cross resonance drive to implement multi-qubit gates in this architecture.

description: This document presents the first report on the impact of the EPOS communication activities.

Communication is a vector to achieve the full exploitation of results which is a precondition for guaranteeing scientific and socio-economic impact. Indeed, only when potential stakeholders become aware of EPOS and of what EPOS can do for them, its products and services can be exploited. In turn, only if products and services are fully exploited, we can affirm an impact on science and/or on society is achieved. Accordingly, to secure the project would achieve a satisfactory scientific and socio-economic impact, we must first ensure we are having an impact in terms of communication. However, the impact of communication activities can be very difficult to measure because there can be a significant delay before any apparent effect. Nevertheless, by constantly evaluating and monitoring our communication activities, so that communication tools are continuously modulated and tailored accordingly, we make sure that the Communication Plan is effectively applied. This will, in turn, ensure communication has an impact and its assessment can be done in a more concrete framework.
G0.087-0.087, a highly polarized flat spectrum filament near the Galactic Centre Arc

description: 32 GHz observations with the Effelsberg 100-m telescope revealed a highly polarized Galactic Centre filament: G0.087-0.087, running parallel to the well-known Arc structure. It has a similar flat spectrum, but it is an order of magnitude weaker. G0.087-0.087 is about 2.5' or 6.2 pc long and located at the western boundary of the expanding molecular cloud G0.11-0.11. This unusual cloud is also visible in X-rays and known to interact on its eastern periphery with the Arc. Acceleration of highly relativistic particles at the surface of G0.11-0.11 seems necessary to explain the properties of both structures. The new filament supports previous findings on the existence of a strong poloidal magnetic field throughout the Galactic Centre region.

description: The nonlocal version of the SU(2)xSU(2) symmetric four-quark interaction of the NJL type is considered. Each of the quark lines contains the form factors. These form factors remove the ultraviolet divergences in quark loops. The additional condition on quark mass function m(p) ensures the absence of the poles in the quark propagator(quark confinement). The constituent quark mass m(0) is expressed thought the cut-off parameter Lambda, m(0)=Lambda=340 MeV in the chiral limit. These parameters are fixed by the experimental value of the weak pion decay and allow us to describe the mass of the light scalar meson, strong decay rho -> pi pi and D/S ratio in the decay a_1 -> rho pi in satisfactory agreement with experimental data.

description: The entanglement of two atoms is studied when the two atoms are coupled to a single-mode thermal field with different couplings. The different couplings of two atoms are in favor of entanglement preparation: it not only makes the case of absence entanglement with same coupling appear entanglement, but also enhances the entanglement with the increasing of the relative difference of two couplings. We also show that the diversity of coupling can improved the critical temperature. If the optical cavity is leaky during the time evolution, the dissipative thermal environment is benefit to produce the entanglement.

Refugee Health Education:  “Learn to Succeed.  Together We Build Our Community.”
Creators: name: Panizales, Maria Theresa P
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2017

Background:  The United States Refugee Resettlement Program (RRP) advocates and supports resettled refugees towards self-sufficiency within 8 months of arriving in the US.  The program assumes that refugees are able to attain autonomy within a limited time frame notwithstanding a lack of English language proficiency, low literacy, and socio-cultural discordance.  After the RRP support, resettled refugees continue to experience disparities in health knowledge and a gap in socio-cultural awareness, which contribute to poor health outcomes.  Purpose:  To develop, implement, and evaluate the impact of a comprehensive culturally sensitive health education program in addressing resettled refugees’ identified health needs resulting from a lack of support after the RRP period ends.  Results:  Eleven of the thirteen (85%) resettled refugee participants completed the health education program.  Descriptive statistical analysis was used to compare pre- and post-health education program surveys and revealed improvement in knowledge and skills in the following key areas: emergency care (38% vs. 54%), medication utilization (69% vs. 91%), nutrition (38% vs. 64%), child immunization (77% vs. 91%), signs of stroke (0% vs. 18%) and management of bleeding (0% vs. 55%).  Conclusion: The comprehensive culturally sensitive health education program demonstrated improvement in knowledge and skills in selected health education areas.  The resettled refugees were empowered with health knowledge, skills, and support after the RRP that facilitated the attainment of the program’s expected goal of health outcome improvement.   The program’s long-term effects on health-related knowledge and skills have the potential to change the refugees’ health outcome.

Parental experiences

description: Abstract: A growing body of evidence suggests that bilingual exposure does not negatively impact children on the autism spectrum. This study sought to illuminate parents’ perceptions and choices regarding maintaining bilingualism in autism. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 16 family members in England and Wales. Data were analysed using interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA). Although parents expressed positive attitudes towards bilingualism, these views were not always congruent with their language practices. Instead, several factors influenced decisions about language maintenance in autism, including the severity of the child’s autism, advice received, and the importance of English as the dominant societal language. This article calls for greater support for families in making language decisions that are suitable for the individual child and their family.

description: Additional file 2: Fig. S2. Ablation of the HTLV-1 CTCF-binding site significantly decreases HTLV-1 p30 expression in vitro in HTLV-1∆CTCF immortalized PBLs when compared to HTLV-1p12Stop, but not when compared to HTLV-1. p30 gene expression was assessed via qPCR. RNA was isolated from HTLV-1-immortalized (PBL.HTLV-1), HTLV-1∆CTCF-immortalized (PBL.HTLV-1∆CTCF, and HTLV-1p12Stop-immortalized (PBL.HTLV-1p12Stop) PBLs. cDNA was synthesized from 1 µg of RNA, then a 45-cycle qPCR was performed in duplicate using 2 µL of cDNA per reaction and a p30-specific primer/probe set. Total copy number was determined using a standard curve generated by duplicate samples of log10 dilutions of p30 standard (primer/probe set and standard described in materials and methods). Copy numbers were normalized to 106 human GAPDH (hGAPDH). Bars represent mean log10 p30 copy normalized to hGAPDH. Error bars indicated standard deviation. PBL.HTLV-1∆CTCF showed a significant decrease in p30 gene expression when compared to PBL.HTLV-1p12Stop (p 0.025). While subjectively decreased, the difference in p30 expression between PBL.HTLV-1∆CTCF and PBL.HTLV-1 was not significant (p 0.175). One way ANOVA with multiple comparisons was used for statistical analysis with significance denoted by values with p

description: Harmonic superspace can be used to construct higher derivative terms in N=2 supersymmetric effective actions despite the infinite redundancy in their description due to the infinite number of auxiliary fields. We are able to write down all of the 3- and 4-derivative terms on the Higgs, Coulomb, and mixed branches, modulo the possible existence of superspace Chern-Simons-like terms, which we discuss. Many of the terms we find are holomorphic, and at least one is shown to not receive quantum corrections.

description: Sessile droplets exposed to an incipient condition lead to an inevitable loss of mass, which is critical in many practical applications. By considering an arbitrarily configured two-dimensional array of droplets, here we provide a simple generalized theoretical limit to their lifetime in an evaporating state. Notwithstanding the geometrical and physical complexity of the effective confinement generated due to their cooperative interactions, we show that the consequent evaporation characteristics may be remarkably insensitive to the topographical details of the overall droplet organization, for a wide range of droplet-substrate combinations. With subsequent deployment of particle-laden droplets, however, our results lead to the discovery of a unique pathway towards tailoring the internal flows within the collective system by harnessing an exclusive topologically-driven symmetry breaking phenomenon, yielding a new strategy of patterning particulate matters around the droplet array.

Projected Three-Point Correlation Functions and Galaxy Bias

Year: 2004
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The three-point correlation function (3PCF) can now be measured in large galaxy redshift surveys, but in three dimensions its interpretation is complicated by the presence of redshift-space distortions. I investigate the projected 3PCF, where these distortions are eliminated by integrating over the redshift dimension, as is commonly done for the two-point correlation function. The calculation of the projected 3PCF from the real-space, three-dimensional bispectrum is greatly simplified by expanding both quantities in Fourier components, analogous to Szapudi's (2004) expansion of the three-dimensional quantities in multipole components. In the weakly nonlinear regime, the bispectrum can be well represented by the first few Fourier components. There is a well-known relation between the reduced 3PCFs of matter and galaxies in the weakly nonlinear regime, which can be used to infer galaxy bias factors if the real-space three-dimensional galaxy correlation functions (two-point and three-point) can be measured. I show that the same relation holds for the reduced {\it projected} 3PCFs if these are properly defined. These results should aid determinations of galaxy bias from large redshift surveys by eliminating the complication of redshift-space distortions.

description: This study investigates the impact of spent engine oil (SEO) contamination on the morphological growth indices of Arachis hypogaea (groundnut) in Keffi, Nigeria. Groundnut, a vital crop for nutrition and economic sustainability, often faces challenges from soil pollutants, including hydrocarbons from used engine oil. The experiment involved cultivating groundnuts in soil treated with varying concentrations of SEO (0%, 3%, 6%, and 9%) to evaluate its effects on plant height, leaf dimensions, branch number, and yield. Results demonstrated a concentration-dependent decline in growth and yield, with the control group consistently outperforming polluted treatments. Interestingly, the 3% SEO treatment resulted in increased leaf length compared with the control, suggesting complex interactions at lower pollution levels. The findings underscore the harmful effects of SEO on crop productivity, emphasizing the need for proper waste management practices to protect agricultural resources. This research provides valuable insights into mitigating pollution’s impact on food security and sustainable farming
Intimate Partner Violence Screening
Creators: name: DeHart, Elsa
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2017

Background: Intimate partner violence (IPV) has become pervasive in our society and is a major public health threat.  More than one in three women (35.6%) and one in four men (28.5%) in the United States have experienced violence at the hands of an intimate partner at a cost of 12.6 billion annually.  Intimate partner violence includes physical, sexual or psychological assault, including physical aggression, sexual coercion, psychological abuse and controlling behaviors by one who is, was or wants to be in an intimate relationship. Health care provider contacts are an appropriate place for an intervention aimed at reducing the rates of IPV; however that routinely do not screen clients because of time constraints, discomfort with the subject and lacking knowledge of resources for referral when a victim discloses abuse. 
Methods: The effectiveness of providing training and resources to health care providers in increasing rates of screening for IPV was evaluated using response technology, with pre- and post-test questions embedded into the beginning and conclusion of the presentation, followed a week later by an online survey. Results: Eight professionals attended the presentation.  Attendees indicated an increase in the intent to regularly screen clients for IPV between the pre- and post-tests.  Participants also reported an increase in their comfort level in discussing the issue.  Discussion: Providing health care providers training in screening methods and available resources for referral can increase willingness to screen for IPV.  The findings suggest that incorporating more comprehensive screening tools into medical practices may increase the number of IPV victims who receive appropriate referrals and support.

Particularly for a small angle theta_13 the expressions become very compact, even when non-vanishing CP phases are present. Using these equations we investigate: (i) the influence of Dirac and Majorana phases on the evolution of all parameters, (ii) the implications of running neutrino parameters for leptogenesis, (iii) changes of the mass bounds from WMAP and neutrinoless double beta decay experiments, relevant for high-energy mass models, (iv) the size of radiative corrections to theta_13 and theta_23 and implications for future precision measurements.

Advanced Directives in Primary Care
Creators: name: Sondrini, Kathryn
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2017

The disclosure of information to patients on the subject of code status is variable as there is a lack of evidence based practice or standardized disclosure of information. Multiple articles and studies have been reviewed which illustrate such a deficit but do not indicate how to either create or implement evidence-based practice to address this deficit. The review of literature will further illustrate the knowledge and communication deficits between patients and providers with code status discussions. The purpose of this study was the creation and evaluation of a standardized discussion/disclosure of code status information and a checklist of topics completed between the provider and patient. This checklist evaluation was trialed in an outpatient cardiology practice. Since this study was based on an ease of access and understanding, the checklist mainly focused on suggestions for change or improvement by the sample population. The methods of evaluation for the code status checklist would consist of qualitative data based on a post evaluation survey. The proposed checklist was well received with the sample population.

description: We develop an approach for fitting the results of modeling of wriggling radial large scale iron pattern along the Galactic disk, derived over young (high massive) Cepheids, with the metallicity distribution, obtained using low mass long living dwarf stars in the close solar vicinity. For this, at the step of computing of the theoretical abundance distribution over low mass stars in the solar vicinity we propose to redefine the initial mass function so as the resulting theoretical stellar distribution over masses would be close to the distribution in the observed sample. By means of the above algorithm and subsequent corrections of the theoretical metallicity distribution function, described in literature, we have achieved fairly well agreement of the theoretical and observed metallicity distribution functions for low mass stars in the local solar vicinity.

In this article we present a deformation of autonomous Stäckel-type systems to non-autonomous Frobenius integrable systems. First, we consider quasi-Stäckel systems with quadratic in momenta Hamiltonians containing separable potentials with time dependent coefficients and then we present a procedure of deforming these equations to non-autonomous Frobenius integrable systems. Then, we present a procedure of deforming quasi-Stäckel systems with so called magnetic separable potentials to non-autonomous Frobenius integrable systems. We also provide a complete list of all $2$- and $3\,$-dimensional Frobenius integrable systems, both with ordinary and with magnetic potentials, that originate in our construction. Further, we prove the equivalence between both classes of systems. Finally we show how Painlevé equations $P_{I}-P_{IV}$ can be derived from our scheme.

The overall picture consists of a nucleus absorbed by cold gas with column density of $\approx10^{22}$ cm$^{-2}$ and surrounded by a Compton-thick torus, whose existence is inferred by a cold reflection component and an iron K$α$ line. On a much larger scale, a photoionized gas extended on $\approx350$ pc reprocesses the nuclear radiation, producing a soft excess and ionized iron lines. Noteworthy, we find no evidence for the presence of the accretion disc.

description: We search for galaxies with a strong Balmer break (Balmer Break Galaxies; BBGs) at $z \sim 6$ over a 0.41 deg$^2$ effective area in the COSMOS field. Based on rich imaging data, including data obtained with the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), three candidates are identified by their extremely red $K - [3.6]$ colors as well as by non-detection in X-ray, optical, far-infrared (FIR), and radio bands. The non-detection in the deep ALMA observations suggests that they are not dusty galaxies but BBGs at $z \sim 6$, although contamination from Active Galactic Nuclei (AGNs) at $z \sim 0$ cannot be completely ruled out for the moment. Our spectral energy distribution (SED) analyses reveal that the BBG candidates at $z \sim 6$ have stellar masses of $\approx 5 \times 10^{10} M_{\odot}$ dominated by old stellar populations with ages of $\gtrsim 700$ Myr. Assuming that all the three candidates are real BBGs at $z \sim 6$, we estimate the stellar mass density (SMD) to be $2.4^{+2.3}_{-1.3} \times 10^{4} M_{\odot}$ Mpc$^{-3}$. This is consistent with an extrapolation from the lower redshift measurements. The onset of star formation in the three BBG candidates is expected to be several hundred million years before the observed epoch of $z \sim 6$. We estimate the star-formation rate density (SFRD) contributed by progenitors of the BBGs to be 2.4 -- 12 $\times 10^{-5} M_{\odot}$ yr$^{-1} $Mpc$^{-3}$ at $z > 14$ (99.7\% confidence range). Our result suggests a smooth evolution of the SFRD beyond $z = 8$.

description: We have discussed the impact of $U_{e3}$ on the model of the neutrino mass matrix. In order to get the small $U_{e3}$, some flavor symmetry is required. Typical two models are investigated. The first one is the model in which the bi-maximal mixing is realized at the symmetric limit. The second one is the texture zeros of the neutrino mass matrix.

description: Abstract: Stochastic gradient descent is an optimisation method that combines classical gradient descent with random subsampling within the target functional. In this work, we introduce the stochastic gradient process as a continuous-time representation of stochastic gradient descent. The stochastic gradient process is a dynamical system that is coupled with a continuous-time Markov process living on a finite state space. The dynamical system—a gradient flow—represents the gradient descent part, the process on the finite state space represents the random subsampling. Processes of this type are, for instance, used to model clonal populations in fluctuating environments. After introducing it, we study theoretical properties of the stochastic gradient process: We show that it converges weakly to the gradient flow with respect to the full target function, as the learning rate approaches zero. We give conditions under which the stochastic gradient process with constant learning rate is exponentially ergodic in the Wasserstein sense. Then we study the case, where the learning rate goes to zero sufficiently slowly and the single target functions are strongly convex. In this case, the process converges weakly to the point mass concentrated in the global minimum of the full target function; indicating consistency of the method. We conclude after a discussion of discretisation strategies for the stochastic gradient process and numerical experiments.

description: Within a case study on the protein-protein interaction network (PIN) of Drosophila melanogaster we investigate the relation between the network's spectral properties and its structural features such as the prevalence of specific subgraphs or duplicate nodes as a result of its evolutionary history. The discrete part of the spectral density shows fingerprints of the PIN's topological features including a preference for loop structures. Duplicate nodes are another prominent feature of PINs and we discuss their representation in the PIN's spectrum as well as their biological implications.

An Evaluation of the Feasibility of Implementing the National Institute of Children’s Health Quality (NICHQ) Physical Activity and Nutrition Survey in Pediatric Primary Care
Creators: name: Greene, Candice
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2017

Pediatric obesity is a growing problem in the United States of America causing both immediate and long-term health implications including: cardiovascular disease, diabetes, bone and joint problems, sleep apnea, and social and psychological problems (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2015).  The purpose of this quality improvement project is to implement and evaluate an evidence-based screening tool for identifying modifiable risk factors for childhood obesity in children in a pediatric primary care office.  The National Institute for Children’s Health Quality (NICHQ) Physical Activity and Nutrition Survey (Appendix A) was administered to 25 pediatric patients ages 2-18 presenting to their primary care office for a well care visit.  The evaluation of this project was based on identifying risk factors, ease of use, and usefulness and feasibility.  The implementation of the NICHQ Physical Activity and Nutrition Survey was found to be both useful and feasible at primary care well child visits.  Risk factors for obesity were identified, patients and families found the survey easy to complete, and providers found the survey to be helpful in starting conversations with families about healthy activity and nutrition.  In future practice a survey such as the NICHQ Physical Activity and Nutrition Survey can be used to help identify modifiable risk factors for pediatric obesity and as a catalyst for meaningful conversations about activity and nutrition.  Through screening and education pediatric obesity can be prevented.

description: The last two farm bills have used moving averages and Olympic moving averages in computing revenue benchmarks and hence payments in the Average Crop Revenue Election (ACRE) program in the Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008 and its more recent version, the Agricultural Risk Coverage (ARC) program in the Agricultural Act of 2014. Accurate revenue forecasting is important to farmers and agribusiness managers because of the variety of risks associated with farming including price and yield variability, which are often negatively correlated. This paper therefore assesses the performance of various speci_x000C_cations of simple and Olympic moving averages in forecasting U.S. crop year revenue for the program crops of corn, soybeans, wheat, rice, and sorghum over the 1974 through 2013 crop years. In general, forecast error is found to be lower for the moving average than for the Olympic moving average technique. It was also generally lower for the technique of forecasting revenue directly than for forecasting separating the price and yield components of revenue. Last, forecast error was generally smaller for calculation windows smaller than the 5 years used as the underlying method by the ARC farm support program.

description: Human beings are able to master a variety of knowledge and skills with ongoing learning. By contrast, dramatic performance degradation is observed when new tasks are added to an existing neural network model. This phenomenon, termed as \emph{Catastrophic Forgetting}, is one of the major roadblocks that prevent deep neural networks from achieving human-level artificial intelligence. Several research efforts, e.g. \emph{Lifelong} or \emph{Continual} learning algorithms, have been proposed to tackle this problem. However, they either suffer from an accumulating drop in performance as the task sequence grows longer, or require to store an excessive amount of model parameters for historical memory, or cannot obtain competitive performance on the new tasks. In this paper, we focus on the incremental multi-task image classification scenario. Inspired by the learning process of human students, where they usually decompose complex tasks into easier goals, we propose an adversarial feature alignment method to avoid catastrophic forgetting. In our design, both the low-level visual features and high-level semantic features serve as soft targets and guide the training process in multiple stages, which provide sufficient supervised information of the old tasks and help to reduce forgetting. Due to the knowledge distillation and regularization phenomenons, the proposed method gains even better performance than finetuning on the new tasks, which makes it stand out from other methods. Extensive experiments in several typical lifelong learning scenarios demonstrate that our method outperforms the state-of-the-art methods in both accuracies on new tasks and performance preservation on old tasks.
