Dynamic Time-Aware Attention to Speaker Roles and Contexts for Spoken Language Understanding

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Spoken language understanding (SLU) is an essential component in conversational systems. Most SLU component treats each utterance independently, and then the following components aggregate the multi-turn information in the separate phases. In order to avoid error propagation and effectively utilize contexts, prior work leveraged history for contextual SLU. However, the previous model only paid attention to the content in history utterances without considering their temporal information and speaker roles. In the dialogues, the most recent utterances should be more important than the least recent ones. Furthermore, users usually pay attention to 1) self history for reasoning and 2) others' utterances for listening, the speaker of the utterances may provides informative cues to help understanding. Therefore, this paper proposes an attention-based network that additionally leverages temporal information and speaker role for better SLU, where the attention to contexts and speaker roles can be automatically learned in an end-to-end manner. The experiments on the benchmark Dialogue State Tracking Challenge 4 (DSTC4) dataset show that the time-aware dynamic role attention networks significantly improve the understanding performance.
An automated model‐based testing approach for the self‐adaptive behavior of the unmanned aircraft system application software

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Summary The unmanned aircraft system (UAS) is rapidly gaining popularity in civil and military domains. A UAS consists of an application software that is responsible for defining a UAS mission and its expected behavior. A UAS during its mission experiences changes (or interruptions ) that require the unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) in a UAS to self‐adapt, that is, to adjust both its behavior and position in real‐time, particularly for maintaining formation in the case of a UAS swarm. This adaptation is critical as the UAS operates in an open environment, interacting with humans, buildings, and neighboring UAVs. To verify if a UAS correctly makes an adaptation, it is important to test it. The current industrial practice for testing the self‐adaptive behaviors in UAS is to carry out testing activities manually. This is particularly true for existing UAS rather than newly developed ones. Manual testing is time‐consuming and allows the execution of a limited set of test cases. To address this problem, we propose an automated model‐based approach to test the self‐adaptive behavior of UAS application software. The work is conducted in collaboration with an industrial partner and demonstrated through a case study of UAS swarm formation flight application software. Further, the approach is verified on various self‐adaptive behaviors for three open‐source autopilots (i.e., Ardu‐Copter, Ardu‐Plane, and Quad‐Plane). Using the proposed model‐based testing approach we are able to test sixty unique self‐adaptive behaviors. The testing results show that around 80% of the behavior adaptations are correctly executed by UAS application software.
Fabrication of optical Raman spectrometer

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

Dispersive Raman spectroscopy is a non-invasive imaging methodology which can be used in detection of various specimens. The intention of this project is to demonstrate the possible usage and the effectiveness of the fabricated spectrometer. The fabricated spectrometer allows for the projection of a coherent light source on a biological specimen to produce characteristic peaks to be formed. Identification of the characteristic peaks can be used to determine the biological nature and content of the specimen itself. To achieve possible Raman scatterings, the precision, arrangement and selection of components are modified to capture an image of high resolution .
Validating Time Serial Images for Emotion Recognition

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

The pig emotion recognition (PER) reads the pig's emotions through the surveillance camera system. It can notify the husbandry workers if the system finds the pig's negative emotions. The PER is the idealistic system for pig husbandry workers, but practically applying the system is quite challenging without a suitable PER dataset. The pigs in the cage seldom move around the area, and the images captured are almost identical through the surveillance camera in the time series. The recurrent convolution neural networks may solve the problem. Still, with the single inputs to the architecture, the time serial images of the PER dataset produce misleading and biased experimental narration without a proper preprocessing method. To have adequate results from the time-serial imaging dataset, we propose the semi-shuffling approach to manage our PER dataset rather than what some researchers normally fully-shuffle the dataset without inspecting time-serial images. We have 98.45% validating accuracy as with fully-shuffling whole training and testing groups, but the validating accuracy reduces to 75.97% after applying the semi-shuffling training and testing dataset.
Deep Metric Learning with Angular Loss

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

The modern image search system requires semantic understanding of image, and a key yet under-addressed problem is to learn a good metric for measuring the similarity between images. While deep metric learning has yielded impressive performance gains by extracting high level abstractions from image data, a proper objective loss function becomes the central issue to boost the performance. In this paper, we propose a novel angular loss, which takes angle relationship into account, for learning better similarity metric. Whereas previous metric learning methods focus on optimizing the similarity (contrastive loss) or relative similarity (triplet loss) of image pairs, our proposed method aims at constraining the angle at the negative point of triplet triangles. Several favorable properties are observed when compared with conventional methods. First, scale invariance is introduced, improving the robustness of objective against feature variance. Second, a third-order geometric constraint is inherently imposed, capturing additional local structure of triplet triangles than contrastive loss or triplet loss. Third, better convergence has been demonstrated by experiments on three publicly available datasets.
A new lymphocyte cell surface antigen, Ly-22.2, controlled by a locus on chromosome 4 and a second unlinked locus.

Field: Immunology and Microbiology (Life Sciences)

Abstract A serum raised by immunizing (B10.A(4R) X B10.HTT)F1 mice against A.AL lymphocytes detects a new antigenic determinant designated Ly-22.2. Ly-22.2 expression is under the control of two independently segregating genes, one of which maps to chromosome 4 adjacent to a locus affecting XenCSA expression. Ly-22.2 is present in varying amounts in all lymphoid organs, but appears to be expressed primarily on T lymphocytes. Ly-22.2 is not detectable in brain, kidney, lung, liver, or erythrocytes. Strain distribution studies show Ly-22.2 is present in all strains examined except B10-derived congenic strains. It is of interest that C57BL/6 and C57BL/10 mice differ in the expression of this antigen.

Topics examined include the doctrine of theōsis, developing notions of the parousia, the “priesthood of all believers,” understandings of persecution and martyrdom, slavery, the perspicuity of Scripture, the Descent into Hades, Christian attitudes toward civil authorities, slavery, the hermeneutical concerns reflected in 2 Pet 1:20–21, and assessments of the relationship between canonical and noncanonical writings. Later texts and traditions examined include medieval hymns, Thomas Aquinas, William Tyndale, John Calvin, Martin Luther, the seventeenth-century Dutch Martyrs’ Mirror, the Westminster Confession of Faith, eighteenth-century antislavery writings from Southern abolitionist Angelina Grimké, the Catechism of the Catholic Church, the Mormon Doctrine and Covenants, evangelical worship music, and Young Earth Creationism.
Management issues in open source software networks

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Open Source Software projects base their operation on collaborative structure for \nknowledge exchange in the form of provision or reception of information, expertise and \nfeedback on the creation of source code. Here, we address the direction of these knowledge flows among projects throughout social networks and their impact on project success. We identify the roles of membership or contribution that individuals play within projects. We found that connections through contributors who bring their knowledge inbound the project, improve project success; connections through members, who transfer their knowledge towards other \nprojects, enhance project success. Finally, we found that ties through shared membership and contribution hamper project success. The analysis of knowledge flows and their impact on project success imply a translation of returns from investment in social capital, where investment takes the shape of knowledge flows and the returns mean the projects’ diffusion over the network
Meta Nitration of Thiacalixarenes

Field: Chemistry (Physical Sciences)

Nitration of thiacalix[4]arene, immobilized in the 1,3-alternate conformation, leads regioselectively to meta-substituted products. Depending on the reaction conditions, mono- and dinitro-derivatives can be isolated in acceptable yields. This unique substitution pattern is inaccessible in classical calixarene chemistry, and yields inherently chiral compounds, which makes thiacalixarenes very attractive as building blocks or molecular scaffolds.
Prediction model updating using the Rose-200 oblique ionospheric sounder at mid and higher latitudes

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

Differences between predicted and measured maximum usable frequency (MUF) values arise due to the short-term temporal variability of the ionosphere, particularly at high latitudes, and the inability of statistically based ionospheric models, used in HF prediction programs, to predict these variabilities. Techniques, however, are being investigated to improve ionospheric models by incorporating real-time ionospheric measurements, obtained using oblique or vertical incidence sounders. A technique, termed 'updating' (Uffelman et al. 1982, and Goodman and Daehler 1988) has been used with the MINIMUF prediction program at mid-latitudes to improve the predicted MUF. It has also been demonstrated by Uffelman et al. how the updating results obtained from a single path can be spatially extrapolated to improve MUF predictions on other spatially distributed mid-latitude paths. The present paper investigates the applicability of the updating technique to mid and higher-latitude propagation paths. Oblique soundings are recorded using ROSE-200 (Radio Oblique Sounding Equipment), and the MUF values measured over the mid and higher-latitude paths are compared with updated MUF predictions made using the APPLAB prediction model. The investigations are performed during a period of low auroral activity and approximately 48 hours of data are analysed with updates being performed at 6 hourly intervals.<>
Chapter One. The World That Was Not Comes To Pass

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

This chapter first discusses family and the early life of Chen Jiru. Chen was born in Songjiang, in the Lower Yangtse Valley, in 1558, in a period when the area was undergoing a hitherto unseen expansion in urbanisation and prosperity. The interpretation of Chen's periods of illness was disputed among later commentators, some seeing it as only an excuse for cowardice, others seeing it as expedient. Chen did away with his scholar's robes in 1586, the year after he had failed the provincial examination for the second time. In doing so he publicly renounced any possibility of holding an official position. The availability of official positions was limited during the late Ming. During the Wanli reign period (1573-1620) the number of positions in the bureaucracy did not keep pace with population growth.Keywords: Chen Jiru; Songjiang; urbanisation; Wanli reign period
The lower valence states of linear polyenes: Locations and identifications

Field: Chemistry (Physical Sciences)

Abstract The experimental transition energy to the valence A g state of butadiene is used to validate a subset of the theoretical calculations that have been carried out on this molecule. The validated calculated A g transition energies of these calculations are then compared with the experimental B u transition energies to determine the relative state ordering in isolated, unsubstituted butadiene, hexatriene, and octatetraene. The A g origins are concluded to lie below the B u origins for all polyenes except butadiene. Experimental confirmation of this conclusion is presented. The extreme breadth of the A g transition, 1.0 eV, is noted. Some possible implications of this breadth are discussed.

Branch Unit for Seafloor Observatory Network

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

One key issue of seafloor observatory network is to ensure that the whole system operates normally when some equipment failure exists. Branch Unit can cut off the connection between the failure parts and the backbone network automatically and protect other equipment of the network from the impact of equipment failure. This paper proposes a design of the Branch Unit. The Branch Unit uses zener diode to provide power for the control circuits and constructs DWDM system with the help of the OADM. One Branch Unit model was built in this paper. Experiments verify the principle and functions of the Branch Unit and prove the feasibility of the design. The design provides a reference for the realization of the seafloor observatory network.

LUTS in Older Adults: Definitions, Comorbidity Impact, Patient Priorities, and Treatment Strategies for Managing Daytime and/or Nighttime Symptoms ‐ ICI‐RS 2024

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

ABSTRACT Introduction Lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) are prevalent among older adults, a population that faces multiple medical challenges, with frailty being a major concern. Despite the high prevalence of LUTS, current treatment strategies for older adults are often inadequate. This paper aims to address these issues by defining daytime and/or nighttime LUTS and examining the impact of comorbid conditions on these symptoms. We will identify the priorities of older patients regarding LUTS management and propose treatment strategies to improve outcomes in this vulnerable population. Methods This review is based on discussions at the ICI‐RS 2024 meeting in Bristol, UK, alongside an extensive literature review examining LUTS in older adults. The review explores distinctions between daytime and nighttime symptoms, the impact of frailty, patient priorities, treatment strategies and the role of comorbidities. Results LUTS in older adults present a complex and multifaceted challenge, with notable differences between daytime and nighttime manifestations, which may coexist. Clear definitions are needed. There is a lack of evidence that treating associated comorbidities will improve LUTS or urinary incontinence. Personalized care approaches, integrated into broader geriatric health strategies, are essential for addressing these symptoms. An ideal treatment strategy is proposed, focusing on daytime, nighttime or combined day‐ and nighttime LUTS. Further research is needed to refine treatment pathways and optimize outcomes for this population. Conclusions A comprehensive, individualized approach is necessary to address LUTS in older adults. Future research should focus on refining diagnostic definitions, exploring the interplay between comorbidities and LUTS, and developing patient‐centered treatment strategies that account for both daytime and nighttime (or combined) symptoms.
Lisocabtagene maraleucel as second-line therapy for large B-cell lymphoma: primary analysis of the phase 3 TRANSFORM study

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Abstract This global phase 3 study compared lisocabtagene maraleucel (liso-cel) with a standard of care (SOC) as second-line therapy for primary refractory or early relapsed (≤12 months) large B-cell lymphoma (LBCL). Adults eligible for autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT; N = 184) were randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to liso-cel (100 × 106 chimeric antigen receptor–positive T cells) or SOC (3 cycles of platinum-based immunochemotherapy followed by high-dose chemotherapy and ASCT in responders). The primary end point was event-free survival (EFS). In this primary analysis with a 17.5-month median follow-up, median EFS was not reached (NR) for liso-cel vs 2.4 months for SOC. Complete response (CR) rate was 74% for liso-cel vs 43% for SOC (P &lt; .0001) and median progression-free survival (PFS) was NR for liso-cel vs 6.2 months for SOC (hazard ratio [HR] = 0.400; P &lt; .0001). Median overall survival (OS) was NR for liso-cel vs 29.9 months for SOC (HR = 0.724; P = .0987). When adjusted for crossover from SOC to liso-cel, 18-month OS rates were 73% for liso-cel and 54% for SOC (HR = 0.415). Grade 3 cytokine release syndrome and neurological events occurred in 1% and 4% of patients in the liso-cel arm, respectively (no grade 4 or 5 events). These data show significant improvements in EFS, CR rate, and PFS for liso-cel compared with SOC and support liso-cel as a preferred second-line treatment compared with SOC in patients with primary refractory or early relapsed LBCL. This trial was registered at www.clinicaltrials.gov as #NCT03575351.
