description: Generalized eigenvalue proximal support vector machine (GEPSVM) has attracted widespread attention due to its simple architecture, rapid execution, and commendable performance. GEPSVM gives equal significance to all samples, thereby diminishing its robustness and efficacy when confronted with real-world datasets containing noise and outliers. In order to reduce the impact of noises and outliers, we propose a novel intuitionistic fuzzy generalized eigenvalue proximal support vector machine (IF-GEPSVM). The proposed IF-GEPSVM assigns the intuitionistic fuzzy score to each training sample based on its location and surroundings in the high-dimensional feature space by using a kernel function. The solution of the IF-GEPSVM optimization problem is obtained by solving a generalized eigenvalue problem. Further, we propose an intuitionistic fuzzy improved GEPSVM (IF-IGEPSVM) by solving the standard eigenvalue decomposition resulting in simpler optimization problems with less computation cost which leads to an efficient intuitionistic fuzzy-based model. We conduct a comprehensive evaluation of the proposed IF-GEPSVM and IF-IGEPSVM models on UCI and KEEL datasets. Moreover, to evaluate the robustness of the proposed IF-GEPSVM and IF-IGEPSVM models, label noise is introduced into some UCI and KEEL datasets. The experimental findings showcase the superior generalization performance of the proposed models when compared to the existing baseline models, both with and without label noise. Our experimental results, supported by rigorous statistical analyses, confirm the superior generalization abilities of the proposed IF-GEPSVM and IF-IGEPSVM models over the baseline models. Furthermore, we implement the proposed IF-GEPSVM and IF-IGEPSVM models on the USPS recognition dataset, yielding promising results that underscore the models' effectiveness in practical and real-world applications.
Contact and the expression of negation

description: This chapter presents an overview of developments in the expression of negation in Arabic and a number of its contact languages, focusing on clausal negation, with some remarks also on indefinites in the scope of negation. For most of the developments discussed in this chapter, it is not possible to say for certain that they are contact-induced. But evidence is presented which, cumulatively, points to widespread contact-induced change in this domain being the most plausible interpretation of the data.

description: The radioactive decay properties of $^{242}$Es were studied with significantly improved statistics compared to available literature data. This isotope was produced in the 3n evaporation channel of the fusion reaction of $^{48}$Ca+$^{197}$Au. A half-life of 16.9(8)~s was deduced from 662 $α$ decays of $^{242}$Es, resulting in an $α$-decay branching of 41(3)\%. Twenty-six fission events with a half-life of 18.2$^{+4.5}_{-3.0}$~s were assigned to originate from the electron-capture delayed fission of $^{242}$Es. The probability for the electron-capture delayed fission was measured to be 0.015(4), which improves and resolves ambiguities in available experimental data. We discuss all known cases for electron-capture delayed fission in Es, Bk, and Am isotopes and compare experimental data with predictions from a recent semi-empirical model. A cross section of 27(3)~nb was measured for the production of $^{242}$Es.

description: Background: The most widely used maintenance treatment for opioid dependency is substitution with long-acting oral opioids. Treatment with injectable diacetylmorphine provides an opportunity for patients to stabilize and possibly transition to oral treatment, if clinically indicated. The aim of this study was to explore outcomes of individuals that received injectable diacetylmorphine and voluntarily transitioned to oral methadone. Design and methods: The North American Opiate Medication Initiative was a randomized controlled trial that compared the effectiveness of injectable diacetylmorphine (or hydromorphone) to oral methadone for long-term opioid-dependency. Treatment was provided for 12-months with an additional 3 months for transition and weaning. Participants were followed until 24-months from randomization. Among the participants randomized to injectable treatments, a sub-group voluntarily chose to transition to oral methadone (n = 16) during the treatment period. Illicit heroin use and treatment retention were assessed at 24-months for those voluntarily and involuntarily transitioning (n = 95) to oral methadone. Results: At 24-months, the group that voluntarily transitioned to oral methadone had higher odds of treatment retention (adjusted odds ratio = 5.55; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.11, 27.81; Chi-square = 4.33, df = 1, p-value = 0.037) than the involuntary transition group. At 24-months, the adjusted mean difference in prior 30 days of illicit heroin use for the voluntary, compared to the involuntary group was -5.58 (95% CI = -11.62, 0.47; t-value = -1.83, df = 97.4, p-value = 0.070). Conclusions: Although the results of this study were based on small groups of self-selected (i.e., non-randomized) participants, our data underlines the critical importance of voluntary and patient-centered decision making. If we had continued offering treatment with diacetylmorphine, those retained to injectable medication may have sustained the achieved improvements in the first 12 months. Diversified opioid treatment should be available so patients and physicians can flexibly choose the best treatment at the time. Trial registration: Clinical Trial Registration: NCT00175357

The enzymatic hydrolysis of pretreated pulp fibers predominantly involves “peeling/erosion” modes of action

description: Background: There is still considerable debate regarding the actual mechanism by which a “cellulase mixture” deconstructs cellulosic materials, with accessibility to the substrate at the microscopic level being one of the major restrictions that limits fast, complete cellulose hydrolysis. In the work reported here we tried to determine the predominant mode of action, at the fiber level, of how a cellulase mixture deconstructs pretreated softwood and hardwood pulp fibers. Quantitative changes in the pulp fibers derived from different pretreated biomass substrates were monitored throughout the course of enzymatic hydrolysis to see if the dominant mechanisms involved either the fragmentation/cutting of longer fibers to shorter fibers or their “peeling/delamination/erosion,” or if both cutting and peeling mechanisms occurred simultaneously. Results: Regardless of the source of biomass, the type of pretreatment and the chemical composition of the substrate, under typical hydrolysis conditions (50°C, pH 4.8, mixing) longer pulp fibers (fiber length >200 μm) were rapidly broken down until a relatively constant fiber length of 130 to 160 μm was reached. In contrast, shorter fibers with an initial average fiber length of 130 to 160 μm showed no significant change in length despite their substantial hydrolysis. The fragmentation/cutting mode of deconstruction was only observed on longer fibers at early stages of hydrolysis. Although the fiber fragmentation mode of deconstruction was not greatly influenced by enzyme loading, it was significantly inhibited by glucose and was mainly observed during initial mixing of the enzyme and substrate. In contrast, significant changes in the fiber width occurred throughout the course of hydrolysis for all of the substrates, suggesting that fiber width may limit the rate and extent of cellulose hydrolysis. Conclusion: It appears that, at the fiber level, pretreated pulp fibers are hydrolyzed through a two-step mode of action involving an initial rapid fragmentation followed by simultaneous swelling and peeling/erosion of the fragmented fibers. This latter mechanism is the predominant mode of action involved in effectively hydrolyzing the cellulose present in pretreated wood substrates.
title: Cholo Citizens: Negotiating Personhood and Building Communities in El Alto, Bolivia
Creators: name: Lazar, Sian
Publisher: name: Goldsmiths, University of London
Year: 2002

description: This thesis addresses the dialectic between collective and individual senses ofself and political agency, and the implications of that dialectic for how residents of Rosas Pampa, in the city of EI Alto, Bolivia, experience their citizenship. It examines the ways in which citizenship is performed, practiced, and constructed by rural-urban migrants living in a peripheral urban area in Bolivia, and interrogates this central concept in political theory using anthropological theories and methods. It is based upon a year's fieldwork in Rosas Pampa, a poor neighbourhood whose adult residents are predominantly first or second generation Aymara-speaking migrants of rural origin. In contrast to the abstract way citizenship is generally understood in the national and international context, and purveyed as a key policy by a multitude of NGOs and governmental agencies operating in poor urban areas of Bolivia, the people of Rosas Pampa experience citizenship in intensely physical and embodied ways, and within several different political spheres, at personal, local and national levels. This thesis explores the nature of political action, and highlights the values that thereby emerge to shape political agency. It argues that there is a dynamic interaction between academic and policy-based notions of citizenship and selfhood and those rooted in people's urban experiences and rural backgrounds. The first part of the thesis outlines the citizenship practices of the residents of Rosas Pampa, and explores how they constitute themselves in various ways as collective political subjects, covering community politics, voting, the annual fiesta and religiosity. The second part focuses on citizenship as a negotiation of personhoood, through exploring how relational senses of self operate in Rosas Pampa and then outlining governmental citizenship projects that seek to modify those senses of self. Throughout it emphasises the citizens' own responses to those projects.

We have found a significant suppression of the Thouless energy with increasing interfacial resistance, in agreement with experimental results. The analysis of the temperature dependence of the critical current in Josephson junctions in comparison with the expressions for the Thouless energy may allow the determination of the interface parameters of S and N-layers.

description: Room acoustic simulation techniques have been widely studied in the recent years. Its application ranges over a wide field, e.g., building acoustics, virtual reality or automotive design. Mainly two categories have been formed: geometrical and wave-based methods [1]. The latter include, among others, the finite difference time domain method (FDTD) [2]. In the case of room acoustic simulations in FDTD, the governing equations are usually written as the second-order wave equation [3]. Alternatively, an equivalent system of linear acoustic equations (LAE) of first-order [2] can be employed. Moreover, the full nonlinear Euler equations (NLEE) can be used to consider heat stratifications or flow. Recently, the NLEE were used to compute outdoor sound propagation [4] and modeling of directive sound sources [5]. Moreover, they were incorporated for sound source localization [6]. In this contribution, an analysis of computational aero acoustic (CAA) techniques of spatial and temporal dis- cretization as well as filtering in FDTD regarding room acoustical simulations is presented. Depending on the application, recommendations for the optimal scheme are given. Uncertainties and computational effort of the schemes are discussed.

description: Background: Aboriginal representation in Canadian correctional institutions has increased rapidly over the past decade. We calculated “years of life lost to incarceration” for Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal Canadians. Methods Incarceration data from provincial databases were used conjointly with demographic data to estimate rates of incarceration and years of life lost to provincial incarceration in (BC) and federal incarceration, by Aboriginal status. We used the Sullivan method to estimate the years of life lost to incarceration. Results Aboriginal males can expect to spend approximately 3.6 months in federal prison and within BC spend an average of 3.2 months in custody in the provincial penal system. Aboriginal Canadians on average spend more time in custody than their non-Aboriginal counterparts. The ratio of the Aboriginal incarceration rate to the non-Aboriginal incarceration rate ranged from a low of 4.28 in Newfoundland and Labrador to a high of 25.93 in Saskatchewan. Rates of incarceration at the provincial level were highest among Aboriginals in Manitoba with an estimated rate of 1377.6 individuals in prison per 100,000 population (95% confidence interval [CI]: 1311.8 – 1443.4). Conclusions The results indicate substantial differences in life years lost to incarceration for Aboriginal versus non-Aboriginal Canadians. In light of on-going prison expansion in Canada, future research and policy attention should be paid to the public health consequences of incarceration, particularly among Aboriginal Canadians.
Wicked WIL: A case of perceptions and experiences of academics in Australian universities

description: This thesis reports on a qualitative case study that has explored the perceptions and experiences of academics engaged with work integrated learning (WIL) in Australian universities. The complicated work undertaken by these academics is situated in the WIL borderlands and involves working with wicked problems: problems that resist clear formulation, are malignant and tricky, and give birth to new problems through the process of ‘solving’ them. This study sought to determine academic perspectives of WIL across 11 disciplines and 6 universities. Little is known about academic perspectives of WIL; academic voices are largely silent in the literature. An online exploratory survey was used together with semi-structured interviews to collect data. Conceptually, tribes and territories as well as borderland theories were interwoven to interpret the wicked problems encountered by the academics in the WIL borderlands. Three themes were constructed from this study that describe the territories of the WIL borderlands in which academics work. First, the Realist WIL Territory is defined by tightly coupled discipline-profession relationships, sequenced curriculum and development of competencies recognised by the professions the disciplines serve. Second, the Impressionist WIL Territory fosters graduate attributes in a stand-alone unit designed to prepare students for the broader worlds of work. Finally, the Surrealist WIL Territory is an emerging territory characterised by interdisciplinary collaboration, innovative practice and entrepreneurial applications of disciplinary knowledge. Conceptualising these territories of the WIL borderlands provides an alternative framing of WIL. Reframing WIL in this way demonstrates that different WIL territories require different academic work and employability outcomes for students and require specialised relationships with critical stakeholders. This study provides an informed platform for future interdisciplinary academic collaboration, improved academic professional development and increased innovative practice in WIL.
Ternary fission with the emission of long-range $α$ particles in fission of the heaviest nuclei

description: The most probable outcome of the ternary fission is the emission of two heavy fragments and one light-charged particle. In about 90\%, these are $α$ particles, which often referred to as the long-range alpha (LRA). Such decay has been extensively studied over decades in various heavy fissioning systems. The probability of such a process has been found to be about (2-4)$\times 10^{-3}$ relative to binary fission. The experimental data showed an increasing trend in the probability of such a process with an increase in fissility parameter within the range of 35 - 39. In the last decades, a region of the heaviest nuclei has been substantially expanded in both proton and neutron numbers. This includes neutron-deficient heavy and superheavy nuclei with fissility parameters, which are significantly exceeding the aforementioned range. In the present work, the currently available experimental data on the probability of the LRA emission, which is a representative of ternary fission, are discussed. The probabilities of LRA emission were calculated within the various empirical approaches, including the presently suggested semi-empirical expression. The latter one was derived on the basis of the $α$-decay property of the fissioning nucleus. The results of all approaches discussed show that the probabilities of LRA emission are substantial (up to a percentage) in the fission of neutron-deficient heavy and superheavy nuclei.

description: Background: Genome wide association studies (GWAS) are a population-scale approach to the identification of segments of the genome in which genetic variations may contribute to disease risk. Current methods focus on the discovery of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with disease traits. As there are many SNPs within identified risk loci, and the majority of these are situated within non-coding regions, a key challenge is to identify and prioritize variants affecting regulatory sequences that are likely to contribute to the phenotype assessed. Methods We focused investigation on SNPs within lung and breast cancer GWAS loci that reached genome-wide significance for potential roles in gene regulation with a specific focus on SNPs likely to disrupt transcription factor binding sites. Within risk loci, the regulatory potential of sub-regions was classified using relevant open chromatin and epigenetic high throughput sequencing data sets from the ENCODE project in available cancer and normal cell lines. Furthermore, transcription factor affinity altering variants were predicted by comparison of position weight matrix scores between disease and reference alleles. Lastly, ChIP-seq data of transcription associated factors and topological domains were included as binding evidence and potential gene target inference. Results The sets of SNPs, including both the disease-associated markers and those in high linkage disequilibrium with them, were significantly over-represented in regulatory sequences of cancer and/or normal cells; however, over-representation was generally not restricted to disease-relevant tissue specific regions. The calculated regulatory potential, allelic binding affinity scores and ChIP-seq binding evidence were the three criteria used to prioritize candidates. Fitting all three criteria, we highlighted breast cancer susceptibility SNPs and a borderline lung cancer relevant SNP located in cancer-specific enhancers overlapping multiple distinct transcription associated factor ChIP-seq binding sites. Conclusion Incorporating high throughput sequencing epigenetic and transcription factor data sets from both cancer and normal cells into cancer genetic studies reveals potential functional SNPs and informs subsequent characterization efforts.

description: In October 2019, an expedition to the subantarctic Bounty Islands provided the opportunity to conduct comprehensive ground counts of erect-crested penguins to assess population size and compare numbers to previous surveys. The entirety of Proclamation Island, an erect-crested penguins’ stronghold, was surveyed and number of active penguin nests was determined via ground counts. Drone surveys aiming at assessing seal numbers, provided highresolution aerial photography allowing spatial analysis of penguin nest densities on four islands, i.e. Proclamation, Tunnel, Spider, and Ranfurly Islands. A total of 2,867 penguin nests were counted on Proclamation Island between 24 and 29 October. Adjusting for the earlier timing of the survey compared to counts conducted since 1997, nest numbers were only marginally lower (~2.4%) than in 1997 and 2004 suggesting that the penguin population has remained stable for the past 20 years; a ~10% reduction in penguin numbers in 2011 seems to be related to warmer than average ocean temperatures that year. Density analysis from drone imagery showed highly heterogenous distribution of penguin nests, with birds preferring areas sheltered from prevailing south-westerly winds. This also means that a previous estimate from 1978 which relied on uniform extrapolation of nest densities to what was assumed to suitable breeding areas substantially overestimated the true population size, thereby contributing to the species current ‘endangered’ threat ranking.

Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions.

description: A three (goal type and level) by three (type and level of knowledge of results) factorial design was implemented with nine subjects per cell. Goal factor levels were: Numeric goal, percentage increase goal, and do best goal. Knowledge of results (KR) factor levels were: Numeric KR, percentage increase/decrease KR and no KR. KR manipulations affected perceived knowledge of performance standing„ but there were no significant effects on performance. Goal effects on performance were significant (p<.01) but there were no significant interaction effects. Goal levels were found to be important in performance prediction. Increased information in the goal may positively affect subjective goal difficulty and be associated with higher performance levels, and may render KR administration unnecessary for goal-performance effects. Goal effects appeared to be immediate and sustained. KR manipulation was not found to be associated with performance effects.

title: The Media and Economic Crisis in Korea circa 1993 to 2003
Creators: name: Lee, Bong-Soo
Publisher: name: Goldsmiths, University of London
Year: 2002

description: This thesis aims to investigate the relationship between the media and economic change in Korea. The main claim is that the press played an important role in creating the economic crisis. The Korean press's excessive swing to the right contributed remarkably to positioning neo-liberalism as the mainstream ideology of the society. In particular, their discourse practices for `Globalisation' accelerated the trend of `retreating state and expanding market'. They hampered rational public debates, distorted economic policies and ultimately led to the crisis. The Korean press neglected to watch the problems of the chaebol (Korean conglomerates) and even encouraged the chaebol's over-investment. They failed to warn against the imminent currency crisis, partly due to their patriotic stance. By contrast, some influential members of the foreign press, particularly based on Wall Street, carried many critical reports reflecting the interests of international financial capitals. Their exaggerated reports enabled them to exert self-fulfilling effects. When the currency crisis arrived in Korea, both the domestic and foreign press played a considerable role in aggravating and transforming it into a chronic economic crisis, by supporting the IMF's mistaken prescriptions such as belt-tightening policies and selling companies abroad. The Korean case suggests that when the media abandon their obligation as a warning system and offer misleading views on socio-economic realities, the public sphere can be damaged. In a severely damaged `public sphere', it was very difficult for many important decisions such as company decisions, government policies and IMF prescriptions to secure rationality. In short, the Korean case shows that the media can deform the public sphere and thereby have negative effects on the economy, contributing to a crisis. From this perspective, two traditions of media studies - the public sphere and media influence - can be combined. The existing studies on media influence tend to favour a rather limited model of influence. However, given that the deformation of public sphere is one form of media influence, the limitation of this model is clear.

description: Resolver sensors are utilized as absolute position transducers to control the position and speed of actuators in many industrial applications. The accuracy and convergence of the position and speed measurements provided by resolvers in electromechanical braking system (EMB) designs directly contribute to the braking performance and vehicle safety. In practice, the dc drifts, amplitudes, and phase shift of the resolver signals vary with aging and temperature, and adaptive techniques are required for the calibration of these parameters of resolvers. Existing classical adaptive techniques such as recursive least squares are unable to track the parameters during resting (low-speed actuation or stationary) periods and also a transient period after them. This paper proposes a new approach for real-time tracking of resolver parameters specially developed for actuator-control applications with varying speed and long resting periods. We formulate the algebraic relationship between the resolver parameters and the parameters of resolver characteristic ellipse, which is the ellipse formed by plotting the resolver signals versus each other. Having known the characteristic ellipse parameters, the resolver parameters are calculated using the formulated algebraic relation. Then, a new recursive and adaptive estimator is proposed to track the parameters of characteristic ellipse. The low computational complexity of the proposed method makes it desirable for real-time applications like the EMBs, where limited computational power and memory are available. Experimental results show that the proposed technique is able to track the resolver parameters and the accurate actuator position with a small error in real-time, while other adaptive estimators are unable to track the resolver parameters during and after resting periods.

description: The field of robotics is a quickly evolving feat of technology that accepts contributions from various genres of science. Neuroscience, Physiology, Chemistry, Material science, Computer science, and the wide umbrella of mechatronics have all simultaneously contributed to many innovations in the prosthetic applications of robotics. This review begins with a discussion of the scope of the term robotic prosthetics and discusses the evolving domain of Neuroprosthetics. The discussion is then constrained to focus on various actuation and control strategies for robotic prosthetic limbs. This review discusses various soft robotic actuators such as EAP, SMA, FFA, etc., and the merits of such actuators over conventional hard robotic actuators. Options in control strategies for robotic prosthetics, that are in various states of research and development, are reviewed. This paper concludes the discussion with an analysis regarding the prospective direction in which this field of robotic prosthetics is evolving in terms of actuation, control, and other features relevant to artificial limbs. This paper intends to review some of the emerging research and development trends in the field of robotic prosthetics and summarize many tangents that are represented under this broad domain in an approachable manner.

description: Recent years have seen the development of LLM-based code generation. Compared to generating code in a software project, incremental code edits are empirically observed to be more frequent. The emerging code editing approaches usually formulate the problem as generating an edit based on known relevant prior edits and context. However, practical code edits can be more complicated. First, an editing session can include multiple (ir)relevant edits to the code under edit. Second, the inference of the subsequent edits is non-trivial as the scope of its ripple effect can be the whole project. In this work, we propose CoEdPilot, an LLM-driven solution to recommend code edits by discriminating the relevant edits, exploring their interactive natures, and estimating its ripple effect in the project. Specifically, CoEdPilot orchestrates multiple neural transformers to identify what and how to edit in the project regarding both edit location and edit content. When a user accomplishes an edit with an optional editing description, a Subsequent Edit Analysis first reports the most relevant files in the project with what types of edits (e.g., keep, insert, and replace) can happen for each line of their code. Next, an Edit-content Generator generates concrete edit options for the lines of code, regarding its relevant prior changes reported by an Edit-dependency Analyzer. Lastly, both the Subsequent Edit Analysis and the Edit-content Generator capture relevant prior edits as feedback to readjust their recommendations. We train our models by collecting over 180K commits from 471 open-source projects in 5 programming languages. Our extensive experiments show that CoEdPilot can well predict the edits (i.e., predicting edit location with an accuracy of 70.8%-85.3%, and the edit content with an exact match rate of 41.8% and BLEU4 score of 60.7)...

description: Background: Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) coupled to high-throughput sequencing (ChIP-Seq) techniques can reveal DNA regions bound by transcription factors (TF). Analysis of the ChIP-Seq regions is now a central component in gene regulation studies. The need remains strong for methods to improve the interpretation of ChIP-Seq data and the study of specific TF binding sites (TFBS). Results We introduce a set of methods to improve the interpretation of ChIP-Seq data, including the inference of mediating TFs based on TFBS motif over-representation analysis and the subsequent study of spatial distribution of TFBSs. TFBS over-representation analysis applied to ChIP-Seq data is used to detect which TFBSs arise more frequently than expected by chance. Visualization of over-representation analysis results with new composition-bias plots reveals systematic bias in over-representation scores. We introduce the BiasAway background generating software to resolve the problem. A heuristic procedure based on topological motif enrichment relative to the ChIP-Seq peaks’ local maximums highlights peaks likely to be directly bound by a TF of interest. The results suggest that on average two-thirds of a ChIP-Seq dataset’s peaks are bound by the ChIP’d TF; the origin of the remaining peaks remaining undetermined. Additional visualization methods allow for the study of both inter-TFBS spatial relationships and motif-flanking sequence properties, as demonstrated in case studies for TBP and ZNF143/THAP11. Conclusions Topological properties of TFBS within ChIP-Seq datasets can be harnessed to better interpret regulatory sequences. Using GC content corrected TFBS over-representation analysis, combined with visualization techniques and analysis of the topological distribution of TFBS, we can distinguish peaks likely to be directly bound by a TF. The new methods will empower researchers for exploration of gene regulation and TF binding.

description: In this paper, we attempt to summarize monthly reports as investment reports. Fund managers have a wide range of tasks, one of which is the preparation of investment reports. In addition to preparing monthly reports on fund management, fund managers prepare management reports that summarize these monthly reports every six months or once a year. The preparation of fund reports is a labor-intensive and time-consuming task. Therefore, in this paper, we tackle investment summarization from monthly reports using transformer-based models. There are two main types of summarization methods: extractive summarization and abstractive summarization, and this study constructs both methods and examines which is more useful in summarizing investment reports.
