Unifying and Merging Well-trained Deep Neural Networks for Inference Stage
We propose a novel method to merge convolutional neural-nets for the
inference stage. Given two well-trained networks that may have different
architectures that handle different tasks, our method aligns the layers of the
original networks and merges them into a unified model by sharing the
representative codes of weights. The shared weights are further re-trained to
fine-tune the performance of the merged model. The proposed method effectively
produces a compact model that may run original tasks simultaneously on
resource-limited devices. As it preserves the general architectures and
leverages the co-used weights of well-trained networks, a substantial training
overhead can be reduced to shorten the system development time. Experimental
results demonstrate a satisfactory performance and validate the effectiveness
of the method.Comment: To appear in the 27th International Joint Conference on Artificial

Chinese investment in Taiwan: challenge or opportunity for Taiwan’s high-technology industrial development?
Cross-Strait economic activities are no longer one-directional. The Taiwanese government opened the doors to Chinese investment in 2009.
The aim of this paper is to address the crucial question: What are the impacts of Chinese investment on Taiwan’s high-technology industrial development? Two further questions immediately follow: Will Chinese investment put Taiwanese industrial development at risk? Will an influx of Chinese investment provide a turning point for Taiwanese industry?
The paper starts with a review of Chinese investment in Taiwan under the framework of the ECFA and then explains the justification for focusing on high-technology industry in Taiwan. It then outlines the main elements of Chinese outwards foreign direct investment (OFDI) before seeing to answer the above research questions.
Fieldwork for this paper was conducted from December 2014 to March 2016. Interviewees include Chinese investors from Beijing, Shanghai and Kunshan, and consultants from a Taiwanese institute created to promote industrial development

Chinese Investment in Taiwan: A Challenge or an Opportunity for Taiwan?
Cross-Strait economic activities are no longer unidirectional. The Taiwanese government opened the doors to Chinese investment in 2009. This paper addresses the following crucial question: What is the impact of Chinese investment on Taiwan’s high-technology industrial development? Two further questions immediately follow: Will Chinese investment put Taiwanese industrial development at risk? Will an influx of Chinese investment lead to a turning point for Taiwanese industry? The paper first reviews Chinese investment in Taiwan under the framework of the Economic Cooperation Framework Agreement (ECFA) and then explains why we have chosen to focus here on the high-technology industry in Taiwan. It then outlines the main elements of Chinese outward foreign direct investment (OFDI) before seeking to answer the above research questions. Fieldwork for this paper was conducted from December 2014 to March 2016. Interviewees include Chinese investors, along with consultants from a Taiwanese institute created to promote industrial development
Zero-norm states and stringy symmetries
We identify spacetime symmetry charges of 26D open bosonic string theory from
an infinite number of zero-norm states (ZNS) with arbitrary high spin in the
old covariant first quantized string spectrum. We give various evidences to
support this identification. These include massive sigma-model calculation,
Witten string field theory calculation, 2D string theory calculation and, most
importantly, three methods of high-energy stringy scattering amplitude
calculations. The last calculations explicitly prove Gross's conjectures in
1988 on high energy symmetry of string theory.Comment: 6 pages. Talks presented by Jen-Chi Lee at XXVIII Spanish Relativity
