Street Stall Economy in China in the COVID-19 Era: Dilemmas and the International Experience of Promoting the Normalization of Street Stall Economy

Compared with those major policies that need to be practiced over the years, the street stall economy is more like a special means after the epidemic, resulting in a “short and brilliant” heat. Nevertheless, the street stall economy revives is facing several dilemmas. This paper reveals the dilemma of the prosperity and development of the stall economy before and after the epidemic, followed by the international experience and enlightenment of promoting the normalization of street stall economy, ranging from street vendor’s legal status and road administrative promotion to street food safety and environmental protection. To sum up, employment is the foundation of people’s livelihood and the source of wealth, hence, stall economy plays an indispensable role to create a win-win working world and promote the formation of a sustainable economic

Cross-relation Cross-bag Attention for Distantly-supervised Relation Extraction

Distant supervision leverages knowledge bases to automatically label instances, thus allowing us to train relation extractor without human annotations. However, the generated training data typically contain massive noise, and may result in poor performances with the vanilla supervised learning. In this paper, we propose to conduct multi-instance learning with a novel Cross-relation Cross-bag Selective Attention (C$^2$SA), which leads to noise-robust training for distant supervised relation extractor. Specifically, we employ the sentence-level selective attention to reduce the effect of noisy or mismatched sentences, while the correlation among relations were captured to improve the quality of attention weights. Moreover, instead of treating all entity-pairs equally, we try to pay more attention to entity-pairs with a higher quality. Similarly, we adopt the selective attention mechanism to achieve this goal. Experiments with two types of relation extractor demonstrate the superiority of the proposed approach over the state-of-the-art, while further ablation studies verify our intuitions and demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed two techniques.Comment: AAAI 201

Average Rank-Based Score to Measure Deregulation of Molecular Pathway Gene Sets

Deregulation of biological pathways has been shown to be involved in the turmorigenesis of a variety of cancers. The co-regulation of pathways in tumor and normal tissues has not been studied in a systematic manner.In this study we propose a novel statistic named AR-score (average rank based score) to measure pathway activities based on microarray gene expression profiles. We calculate and compare the AR-scores of pathways in microarray datasets containing expression profiles for a wide range of cancer types as well as the corresponding normal tissues. We find that many pathways undergo significant activity changes in tumors with respect to normal tissues. AR-scores for a small subset of pathways are capable of distinguishing tumor from normal tissues or classifying tumor subtypes. In normal tissues many pathways are highly correlated in their activities, whereas their correlations reduce significantly in tumors and cancer cell lines. The co-expression of genes in the same pathways was also significantly perturbed in tumors.The co-regulation of genes in the same pathways and co-regulation of different pathways are significantly perturbed in tumors versus normal tissues. Our method provides a useful tool for better understanding the mechanistic changes in tumors, which can also be used for exploring other biological problems

The curriculum reform of CAD graphic design for combining theory and practice

As a tool course, CAD graphic design in engineering is assisting other professional courses to achieve professional training goals. According to the characteristics and existing problems of CAD graphic design, this paper puts forward some constructive measures to connect the course with practice application and improve the students’ learning enthusiasm. The proposed measures include: teaching method combining theory with practice, teaching mode containing "teaching" and "learning" content, the matched evaluation mechanism guiding correctly students to learn
