Exploration of New Tax System in China: Research on Macro Tax Burden Restrained by Sustainable Development Promoting Economic Transformation and Upgrading Based on “Three Gap” Model
Recent years have witnessed increasingly heavy pressure for China’s economy to promote the transformation and upgrading of economy. The structure of paper is as follows. First is an introduction. Second is a roundup of literature. Third is the idea of exploration of new tax system in China. Academic value, application value, object of study and innovative points are put forward to in third. The paper has shed new light on that the country’s overall tax and other tax credits are determined according to the macro tax burden of the internal and external balance based on three-gap mode
Specialist or Generalist? Instruction Tuning for Specific NLP Tasks
The potential of large language models (LLMs) to simultaneously perform a
wide range of natural language processing (NLP) tasks has been the subject of
extensive research. Although instruction tuning has proven to be a
data-efficient method for transforming LLMs into such generalist models, their
performance still lags behind specialist models trained exclusively for
specific tasks. In this paper, we investigate whether incorporating
broad-coverage generalist instruction tuning can contribute to building a
specialist model. We hypothesize that its efficacy depends on task specificity
and skill requirements. Our experiments assess four target tasks with distinct
coverage levels, revealing that integrating generalist instruction tuning
consistently enhances model performance when the task coverage is broad. The
effect is particularly pronounced when the amount of task-specific training
data is limited. Further investigation into three target tasks focusing on
different capabilities demonstrates that generalist instruction tuning improves
understanding and reasoning abilities. However, for tasks requiring factual
knowledge, generalist data containing hallucinatory information may negatively
affect the model's performance. Overall, our work provides a systematic guide
for developing specialist models with general instruction tuning. Our code and

Assisting Language Learners: Automated Trans-Lingual Definition Generation via Contrastive Prompt Learning
The standard definition generation task requires to automatically produce
mono-lingual definitions (e.g., English definitions for English words), but
ignores that the generated definitions may also consist of unfamiliar words for
language learners. In this work, we propose a novel task of Trans-Lingual
Definition Generation (TLDG), which aims to generate definitions in another
language, i.e., the native speaker's language. Initially, we explore the
unsupervised manner of this task and build up a simple implementation of
fine-tuning the multi-lingual machine translation model. Then, we develop two
novel methods, Prompt Combination and Contrastive Prompt Learning, for further
enhancing the quality of the generation. Our methods are evaluated against the
baseline Pipeline method in both rich- and low-resource settings, and we
empirically establish its superiority in generating higher-quality
trans-lingual definitions.Comment: Accepted by ACL-BEA worksho
Multixenobiotic resistance in Mytilus edulis : Molecular and functional characterization of an ABCG2- type transporter in hemocytes and gills
International audienceAmong the cellular protection arsenal, ABC transporters play an important role in xenobiotic efflux in marine organisms. Two pumps belonging to B and C subfamily has been identified in Mytilus edulis. In this study, we investigated the presence of the third major subtype ABCG2/BCRP protein in mussel tissues. Transcript was expressed in hemocytes and with higher level in gills. Molecular characterization revealed that mussel ABCG2 transporter shares the sequence and organizational structure with mammalian and molluscan orthologs. Overall identity of the predicted amino acid sequence with corresponding homologs from other organisms was between 49% and 98%. Moreover, protein efflux activity was demonstrated using a combination of fluorescent allocrites and specific inhibitors. The accumulation of bodipy prazosin and pheophorbide A was heterogeneous in gills and hemocytes. Most of the used blockers enhanced probe accumulation at different levels, most significantly for bodipy prazosin. Moreover, Mrp classical blocker MK571 showed a polyspecificity.In conclusion, our data demonstrate that several ABC transporters contribute to MXR phenotype in the blue mussel including ABCG2 that forms an active pump in hemocytes and gills. Efforts are needed to distinguish between the different members and to explore their single function and specificity towards allocrites and chemosensitizers
