Challenges Facing East Asian Immigrant Children in Sexual Abuse Cases
Immigrants from East Asia make up 14.21% of the total number of immigrants in Canada. These families face many challenges as they acculturate to North America but, sadly, some of these children may be at risk for sexual abuse. In this position paper, we outline the ways in which East Asian children are at a particular disadvantage when considering prosecution of those who perpetrate abuse compared to Western non-immigrant children. We focus specifically on two areas of concern: 1) Cultural differences that can impact the disclosure of sexual abuse; and, 2) Language differences which reduce the chances that perpetrators will be prosecuted for sexual abuse. The consequences for East Asian immigrant youth who allege (or are suspected) that they are victims of abuse are serious. East Asian children face an uphill battle to see justice in sexual abuse cases. Thus, a significant portion of immigrant children will not see their abusers punished and, worse, the knowledge that prosecution is unlikely makes East Asian immigrant children a targeted population for those who abuse
Deep Extreme Multi-label Learning
Extreme multi-label learning (XML) or classification has been a practical and
important problem since the boom of big data. The main challenge lies in the
exponential label space which involves possible label sets especially
when the label dimension is huge, e.g., in millions for Wikipedia labels.
This paper is motivated to better explore the label space by originally
establishing an explicit label graph. In the meanwhile, deep learning has been
widely studied and used in various classification problems including
multi-label classification, however it has not been properly introduced to XML,
where the label space can be as large as in millions. In this paper, we propose
a practical deep embedding method for extreme multi-label classification, which
harvests the ideas of non-linear embedding and graph priors-based label space
modeling simultaneously. Extensive experiments on public datasets for XML show
that our method performs competitive against state-of-the-art result
Thermal strength and transient dynamics analysis of a diesel engine piston
As the research object is to set up four-stroke direct injection diesel engine pistons, with the research method of thermo-mechanical coupling, a three-dimensional finite element analysis model is established. Calculate transient heat transfer coefficient and the transient gas temperature. Piston stress is calculated under the conditions of thermal load, mechanical load and the thermal-mechanical coupling load. Results show that, the piston safety, the main cause of the piston deformation and the great stress is the temperature so it is feasible to further decrease the piston temperature with structure optimization

Discretize Relaxed Solution of Spectral Clustering via a Non-Heuristic Algorithm
Spectral clustering and its extensions usually consist of two steps: (1)
constructing a graph and computing the relaxed solution; (2) discretizing
relaxed solutions. Although the former has been extensively investigated, the
discretization techniques are mainly heuristic methods, e.g., k-means, spectral
rotation. Unfortunately, the goal of the existing methods is not to find a
discrete solution that minimizes the original objective. In other words, the
primary drawback is the neglect of the original objective when computing the
discrete solution. Inspired by the first-order optimization algorithms, we
propose to develop a first-order term to bridge the original problem and
discretization algorithm, which is the first non-heuristic to the best of our
knowledge. Since the non-heuristic method is aware of the original graph cut
problem, the final discrete solution is more reliable and achieves the
preferable loss value. We also theoretically show that the continuous optimum
is beneficial to discretization algorithms though simply finding its closest
discrete solution is an existing heuristic algorithm which is also unreliable.
Sufficient experiments significantly show the superiority of our method
