A Comparison Study of Two Methods for Elliptic Boundary Value Problems
In this paper, we perform a comparison study of two methods (the embedded
boundary method and several versions of the mixed finite element method) to
solve an elliptic boundary value problem
Multi-objective Optimization Based on Improved Differential Evolution Algorithm
On the basis of the fundamental differential evolution (DE), this paper puts forward several improved DE algorithms to find a balance between global and local search and get optimal solutions through rapid convergence. Meanwhile, a random mutation mechanism is adopted to process individuals that show stagnation behaviour. After that, a series of frequently-used benchmark test functions are used to test the performance of the fundamental and improved DE algorithms. After a comparative analysis of several algorithms, the paper realizes its desired effects by applying them to the calculation of single and multiple objective functions
KERM: Knowledge Enhanced Reasoning for Vision-and-Language Navigation
Vision-and-language navigation (VLN) is the task to enable an embodied agent
to navigate to a remote location following the natural language instruction in
real scenes. Most of the previous approaches utilize the entire features or
object-centric features to represent navigable candidates. However, these
representations are not efficient enough for an agent to perform actions to
arrive the target location. As knowledge provides crucial information which is
complementary to visible content, in this paper, we propose a Knowledge
Enhanced Reasoning Model (KERM) to leverage knowledge to improve agent
navigation ability. Specifically, we first retrieve facts (i.e., knowledge
described by language descriptions) for the navigation views based on local
regions from the constructed knowledge base. The retrieved facts range from
properties of a single object (e.g., color, shape) to relationships between
objects (e.g., action, spatial position), providing crucial information for
VLN. We further present the KERM which contains the purification, fact-aware
interaction, and instruction-guided aggregation modules to integrate visual,
history, instruction, and fact features. The proposed KERM can automatically
select and gather crucial and relevant cues, obtaining more accurate action
prediction. Experimental results on the REVERIE, R2R, and SOON datasets
demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.Comment: Accepted by CVPR 2023. The code is available at

Three new genera and eleven new species are reported from Hainan Island, China. The new genera are Logunattus gen. nov., including L. dufui sp. nov. (β), and the generotype L. libaii sp. nov. (ββ), Qiongattus yuanyeae gen. et sp. nov. (ββ), and Spiralembolus gen. nov., including the generotype S. yinggeling sp. nov. (ββ), and S. yui sp. nov. (ββ). Another six new species are Carrhotus qingzhaoae sp. nov. (ββ), Gedea liangweii sp. nov. (ββ), Heliophanoides moi sp. nov. (β), Indopadilla songi sp. nov. (ββ), Myrmarachne mixiaoqii sp. nov. (ββ), and Nandicius shihaitaoi sp. nov. (ββ). The unknown female of the endemic species, Pancorius hainanensis Song & Chai, 1991 is also described for the first time. Diagnostic photos of these species are provided
