CoMER: Modeling Coverage for Transformer-based Handwritten Mathematical Expression Recognition
The Transformer-based encoder-decoder architecture has recently made
significant advances in recognizing handwritten mathematical expressions.
However, the transformer model still suffers from the lack of coverage problem,
making its expression recognition rate (ExpRate) inferior to its RNN
counterpart. Coverage information, which records the alignment information of
the past steps, has proven effective in the RNN models. In this paper, we
propose CoMER, a model that adopts the coverage information in the transformer
decoder. Specifically, we propose a novel Attention Refinement Module (ARM) to
refine the attention weights with past alignment information without hurting
its parallelism. Furthermore, we take coverage information to the extreme by
proposing self-coverage and cross-coverage, which utilize the past alignment
information from the current and previous layers. Experiments show that CoMER
improves the ExpRate by 0.61%/2.09%/1.59% compared to the current
state-of-the-art model, and reaches 59.33%/59.81%/62.97% on the CROHME

Few-shot Multi-domain Knowledge Rearming for Context-aware Defence against Advanced Persistent Threats
Advanced persistent threats (APTs) have novel features such as multi-stage
penetration, highly-tailored intention, and evasive tactics. APTs defense
requires fusing multi-dimensional Cyber threat intelligence data to identify
attack intentions and conducts efficient knowledge discovery strategies by
data-driven machine learning to recognize entity relationships. However,
data-driven machine learning lacks generalization ability on fresh or unknown
samples, reducing the accuracy and practicality of the defense model. Besides,
the private deployment of these APT defense models on heterogeneous
environments and various network devices requires significant investment in
context awareness (such as known attack entities, continuous network states,
and current security strategies). In this paper, we propose a few-shot
multi-domain knowledge rearming (FMKR) scheme for context-aware defense against
APTs. By completing multiple small tasks that are generated from different
network domains with meta-learning, the FMKR firstly trains a model with good
discrimination and generalization ability for fresh and unknown APT attacks. In
each FMKR task, both threat intelligence and local entities are fused into the
support/query sets in meta-learning to identify possible attack stages.
Secondly, to rearm current security strategies, an finetuning-based deployment
mechanism is proposed to transfer learned knowledge into the student model,
while minimizing the defense cost. Compared to multiple model replacement
strategies, the FMKR provides a faster response to attack behaviors while
consuming less scheduling cost. Based on the feedback from multiple real users
of the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) over 2 months, we demonstrate that
the proposed scheme can improve the defense satisfaction rate.Comment: It has been accepted by IEEE SmartNet

Systematic analysis of the Hippo pathway organization and oncogenic alteration in evolution.
The Hippo pathway is a central regulator of organ size and a key tumor suppressor via coordinating cell proliferation and death. Initially discovered in Drosophila, the Hippo pathway has been implicated as an evolutionarily conserved pathway in mammals; however, how this pathway was evolved to be functional from its origin is still largely unknown. In this study, we traced the Hippo pathway in premetazoan species, characterized the intrinsic functions of its ancestor components, and unveiled the evolutionary history of this key signaling pathway from its unicellular origin. In addition, we elucidated the paralogous gene history for the mammalian Hippo pathway components and characterized their cancer-derived somatic mutations from an evolutionary perspective. Taken together, our findings not only traced the conserved function of the Hippo pathway to its unicellular ancestor components, but also provided novel evolutionary insights into the Hippo pathway organization and oncogenic alteration
Economic Burden for Lung Cancer Survivors in Urban China.
BackgroundWith the rapid increase in the incidence and mortality of lung cancer, a growing number of lung cancer patients and their families are faced with a tremendous economic burden because of the high cost of treatment in China. This study was conducted to estimate the economic burden and patient responsibility of lung cancer patients and the impact of this burden on family income.MethodsThis study uses data from a retrospective questionnaire survey conducted in 10 communities in urban China and includes 195 surviving lung cancer patients diagnosed over the previous five years. The calculation of direct economic burden included both direct medical and direct nonmedical costs. Indirect costs were calculated using the human capital approach, which measures the productivity lost for both patients and family caregivers. The price index was applied for the cost calculation.ResultsThe average economic burden from lung cancer was 42,540 (98.16%) and the indirect cost per capita was 30,277 per capita, which accounted for 171% of the household annual income, a percentage that fell to 107% after subtracting the compensation from medical insurance.ConclusionsThe economic burden for lung cancer patients is substantial in the urban areas of China, and an effective control strategy to lower the cost is urgently needed
Automated Machine Learning for Deep Recommender Systems: A Survey
Deep recommender systems (DRS) are critical for current commercial online
service providers, which address the issue of information overload by
recommending items that are tailored to the user's interests and preferences.
They have unprecedented feature representations effectiveness and the capacity
of modeling the non-linear relationships between users and items. Despite their
advancements, DRS models, like other deep learning models, employ sophisticated
neural network architectures and other vital components that are typically
designed and tuned by human experts. This article will give a comprehensive
summary of automated machine learning (AutoML) for developing DRS models. We
first provide an overview of AutoML for DRS models and the related techniques.
Then we discuss the state-of-the-art AutoML approaches that automate the
feature selection, feature embeddings, feature interactions, and system design
in DRS. Finally, we discuss appealing research directions and summarize the
survey
