CFBenchmark: Chinese Financial Assistant Benchmark for Large Language Model
Large language models (LLMs) have demonstrated great potential in the
financial domain. Thus, it becomes important to assess the performance of LLMs
in the financial tasks. In this work, we introduce CFBenchmark, to evaluate the
performance of LLMs for Chinese financial assistant. The basic version of
CFBenchmark is designed to evaluate the basic ability in Chinese financial text
processing from three aspects~(\emph{i.e.} recognition, classification, and
generation) including eight tasks, and includes financial texts ranging in
length from 50 to over 1,800 characters. We conduct experiments on several LLMs
available in the literature with CFBenchmark-Basic, and the experimental
results indicate that while some LLMs show outstanding performance in specific
tasks, overall, there is still significant room for improvement in basic tasks
of financial text processing with existing models. In the future, we plan to
explore the advanced version of CFBenchmark, aiming to further explore the
extensive capabilities of language models in more profound dimensions as a
financial assistant in Chinese. Our codes are released at

Synthesis and Gas-Sensing Property of Highly Self-assembled Tungsten Oxide Nanosheets
We report the synthesis of tungsten oxide (WO3) nanosheets using a simple yet efficient hydrothermal technique free of surfactantand template. The WO3 nano-sheets are self-assembled as well to form ordered one-dimensional chain nanostructure. A comprehensive microscopic characterization reveals that the nano-sheets have triangular and circular two different shape edges, dislocation and stacking faults are also observed, which should have implications for our understanding of catalytic activity of ceria. We also propose a growth mechanism for the nano-sheets. As a result of this unique morphology, this WO3 nano-sheets are found to show excellent gas-sensing properties which can use as promising sensor materials detecting ethanol with low concentration
Artery tertiary lymphoid organs control multi-layered territorialized atherosclerosis B cell responses in aged ApoE-/- mice
Objective: Explore aorta B cell immunity in aged ApoE-/- mice.
Approach and Results: Transcript maps, FACS, immunofluorescence analyses, cell transfers, and Ig-ELISPOT assays showed multi-layered atherosclerosis B cell responses in artery tertiary lymphoid organs (ATLOs). Aging-associated aorta B cell-related transcriptomes were identified and transcript atlases revealed highly territorialized B cell responses in ATLOs versus atherosclerotic lesions: ATLOs showed upregulation of bona fide B cell genes including Cd19, Ms4a1 (Cd20), Cd79a/b, and Ighm though intima plaques preferentially expressed molecules involved in non-B effector responses towards B cell-derived mediators, i.e. Fcgr3 (Cd16), Fcer1g (Cd23), and the C1q family. ATLOs promoted B cell recruitment. ATLO B-2 B cells included naïve, transitional, follicular, germinal center, switched IgG1+, IgA+, and IgE+ memory cells, plasmablasts, and long-lived plasma cells (PCs). ATLOs recruited large numbers of B-1 cells whose subtypes were skewed towards IL-10+ B-1b cells versus IL-10- B-1a cells. ATLO B-1 cells and PCs constitutively produced IgM and IgG and a fraction of PCs expressed IL-10. Moreover, ApoE-/- mice showed increased germinal center B cells in renal lymph nodes, IgM-producing PCs in the bone marrow, and higher IgM and anti-MDA-LDL IgG serum titers.
Conclusions: ATLOs orchestrate dichotomic, territorialized, and multi-layered B cell responses in the diseased aorta; germinal center reactions indicate generation of autoimmune B cells within the diseased arterial wall during aging
