IndRT-GCNets: Knowledge Reasoning with Independent Recurrent Temporal Graph Convolutional Representations

Due to the structural dependencies among concurrent events in the knowledge graph and the substantial amount of sequential correlation information carried by temporally adjacent events,we propose an Independent Recurrent Temporal Graph Convolution Networks(IndRT-GCNets)framework to efficiently and accurately capture event attribute information.The framework models the knowledge graph sequences to learn the evolutionary represen-tations of entities and relations within each period.Firstly,by utilizing the temporal graph convolution module in the evolutionary representation unit,the framework captures the structural dependency relationships within the knowledge graph in each period.Meanwhile,to achieve better event representation and establish effective correlations,an independent recurrent neural network is employed to implement auto-regressive modeling.Furthermore,static attributes of entities in the entity-relation events are constrained andmerged using a static graph constraint to obtain optimal entity representations.Finally,the evolution of entity and relation representations is utilized to predict events in the next subsequent step.On multiple real-world datasets such as Freebase13(FB13),Freebase 15k(FB15K),WordNet11(WN11),WordNet18(WN18),FB15K-237,WN18RR,YAGO3-10,and Nell-995,the results of multiple evaluation indicators show that our proposed IndRT-GCNets framework outperforms most existing models on knowledge reasoning tasks,which validates the effectiveness and robustness.

Systematic Method for Constructing Lewis Representations

The systematic method for constructing Lewis representations is a method for representing chemical bonds between atoms in a molecule. It uses symbols to represent the valence electrons of the atoms involved in the bond. Using a number of rules in a defined order, it is often better suited to complicated cases than the Lewis representation of atoms. This method allows us to determine the formal charge and oxidation number of each atom in the edifice more efficiently than other methods.

Using Speaker-Specific Emotion Representations in Wav2vec 2.0-Based Modules for Speech Emotion Recognition

Speech emotion recognition is essential for frictionless human-machine interaction,where machines respond to human instructions with context-aware actions.The properties of individuals’voices vary with culture,language,gender,and personality.These variations in speaker-specific properties may hamper the performance of standard representations in downstream tasks such as speech emotion recognition(SER).This study demonstrates the significance of speaker-specific speech characteristics and how considering them can be leveraged to improve the performance of SER models.In the proposed approach,two wav2vec-based modules(a speaker-identification network and an emotion classification network)are trained with the Arcface loss.The speaker-identification network has a single attention block to encode an input audio waveform into a speaker-specific representation.The emotion classification network uses a wav2vec 2.0-backbone as well as four attention blocks to encode the same input audio waveform into an emotion representation.These two representations are then fused into a single vector representation containing emotion and speaker-specific information.Experimental results showed that the use of speaker-specific characteristics improves SER performance.Additionally,combining these with an angular marginal loss such as the Arcface loss improves intra-class compactness while increasing inter-class separability,as demonstrated by the plots of t-distributed stochastic neighbor embeddings(t-SNE).The proposed approach outperforms previous methods using similar training strategies,with a weighted accuracy(WA)of 72.14%and unweighted accuracy(UA)of 72.97%on the Interactive Emotional Dynamic Motion Capture(IEMOCAP)dataset.This demonstrates its effectiveness and potential to enhance human-machine interaction through more accurate emotion recognition in speech.

Examination of the Illness Representations among Children with T1DM in Relation to Mental Health Factors

The most common comorbid psychiatric disorders in children with type 1 diabetes mellitus(T1DM)are depression,anxiety and behavioral disorders.Patients with comorbid psychopathology are less capable of psychically adjusting to the new life situation resulting from T1DM,which may negatively affect glycemic control and adherence related to the treatment.We aimed to investigate the association between mental health and type 1 diabetes including illness representation.115 children and adolescents with T1DM were recruited through the outpatient clinic in Debrecen,Hungary.Measures:PRISM-D,Child Depression Inventory(CDI),Cantril Ladder and Self-Rated Health,Glycosylaeted haemoglobin(HbA1C)were measured.Children having depressive symptoms drew fewer circles with less area.Children not drawing any important relationships possessed more depressive symptoms.Those diagnosed at a younger age displayed smaller distance between the Self-and Illness-circles.The PRISM-D test can be a promising tool to analyse emotional and cognitive representations and the psychological burden of T1DM.

Socio-Cultural Representations and Therapeutic Itineraries of Parents of Autistic Children Followed in the INSP’s Children’s Mental Health Services

Pervasive developmental disorders (PDD) remain little known to populations in developing countries. In black Africa their social representations remain strongly influenced by local belief systems. The general objective of this study was to understand the perceptions and representations of Ivorian parents vis-à-vis PDD. This was a mixed (qualitative and quantitative) prospective cross-sectional study with a descriptive aim that involved a sample of 49 parents. The sampling was of the qualitative type by multiple cases with reasoned choice by saturation. Our results showed that male parents were mostly aged between 40 - 49 years (48.98%) with a higher level of education (67.34%) while mothers were mostly aged between 30 - 39 (61.22%) and a higher level (30.61%). Autistic children were negatively perceived by their parents: either as a source of psychological suffering (82.85%), or as mysterious children who sacrificed their parents (44.66%), or as “bobo” children (mute children in common Ivorian language) (16.66%) or like rude children (13.34%). The supposed origin of the disorder according to the parents was mystical-religious (60.94%);natural (25%);hereditary (6.25%). In 6.25% of cases, PDD were assumed to be of unknown or iatrogenic origin attributable to vaccination (1.56%). 75.51% of parents said that in addition to conventional medical therapies, they also used traditional therapies. The use of this therapeutic alternative would be linked to the perceptions and beliefs that feed the socio-cultural representations of our respondents.

bell hooks: To Resist Misrepresentations of the Outlaw Culture

The thesis summarizes bell hooks' stand and viewpoints as expressed in her book Outlaw Culture:Resisting Representations.In this collection,hooks argues that the outlaw culture,a culture of the marginalized groups including black people and women,is either distorted or misinterpreted by the mainstream culture which is a white supremacist patriarchal one.Therefore,she calls for a resistance against the mainstream culture's misrepresentations of the outlaw culture.

Enhanced LMI Representations for H2 Performance of Polytopic Uncertain Systems: Continuous-time Case

Based on two recent results, several new criteria of H2 performance for continuous-time linear systems are established by introducing two slack matrices. When used in robust analysis of systems with polytopic uncertainties, they can reduce conservatism inherent in the earlier quadratic method and the established parameter-dependent Lyapunov function approach. Two numerical examples are included to illustrate the feasibility and advantage of the proposed representations.

QUASI-PERMUTATION REPRESENTATIONS OF ALTERNATING AND SYMMETRIC GROUPS

The quantities c（G）, q（G） and p（G） for finite groups were defined by H. Behravesh. In this article, these quantities for the alternating group An and the symmetric group Sn are calculated. It is shown that c（G） = q（G） = p（G） = n,when G = An or Sn.

STRONG REPRESENTATIONS OF THE SURVIVAL FUNCTION ESTIMATOR ON INCREASING SETS FOR TRUNCATED AND CENSORED DATA

In this paper, based on random left truncated and right censored data, the authors derive strong representations of the cumulative hazard function estimator and the product-limit estimator of the survival function. which are valid up to a given order statistic of the observations. A precise bound for the errors is obtained which only depends on the index of the last order statistic to be included.

Canonical and Boundary Representations on Rank One Para-Hermitian Spaces

This work studies the canonical representations (Berezin representations) for para-Hermitian symmetric spaces of rank one. These spaces are exhausted up to the covering by spaces?G/H?with G = SL(n,R),H = GL(n-1,R)?. For Hermitian symmetric spaces G/K, canonical representations were introduced by Berezin and Vershik-Gelfand-Graev. They are unitary with respect to some invariant non-local inner product (the Berezin form). We consider canonical representations in a wider sense: we give up the condition of unitarity and let these representations act on spaces of distributions. For our spaces G/H, the canonical representations turn out to be tensor products of representations of maximal degenerate series and contragredient representations. We decompose the canonical representations into irreducible constituents and decompose boundary representations.

Narrative Representations in Adolescents With Learning Difficulties

This research develops from clinical practice. Our aim is to provide a precise description of mental functioning of adolescents with learning difficulties (LDs) in order to improve the knowledge of this kind of problems and consequently to get better therapeutic approaches. We focus on narrative representations and we study how these adolescents construct and build stories. We assess 40 adolescents through the use of two kind of tests: Thematic Apperception Test (TAT) and Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (WISC-III). In addition, we compare this group with another clinical sample of adolescents. In our sample, learning difficulties are not linked to lower cognitive level, but can be understood as a maturational gap. In the narratives of the adolescents with LDs, we find a typical adolescent narrative: In most cases, the protagonist starts from a position of dependence finally reaching a position of greater autonomy. There are significant differences between the males and females in our sample, which suggest a different mode of learning ability and disability for each sex.

CANONICAL REPRESENTATIONS AND DEGREE OF FREEDOM FORMULAE OF ORTHOGONAL TENSORS IN N-DIMENSIONAL EUCLIDEAN SPACE

In this paper, with the help of the eigenvalue properties of orthogonal tensors in n-dimensional Euclidean space and the representations of the orthogonal tensors in 2-dimensional space, the canonical representations of orthogonal tensors in n-dimensional Euclidean space are easily gotten. The paper also gives all the constraint relationships among the principal invariants of arbitrarily given orthogonal tensor by use of Cayley-Hamilton theorem; these results make it possible to solve all the eigenvalues of any orthogonal tensor based on a quite reduced equation of m-th order, where m is the integer part ofn \2. Finally, the formulae of the degree of freedom of orthogonal tensors are given.

Hierarchical Representations Feature Deep Learning for Face Recognition

Most modern face recognition and classification systems mainly rely on hand-crafted image feature descriptors. In this paper, we propose a novel deep learning algorithm combining unsupervised and supervised learning named deep belief network embedded with Softmax regress (DBNESR) as a natural source for obtaining additional, complementary hierarchical representations, which helps to relieve us from the complicated hand-crafted feature-design step. DBNESR first learns hierarchical representations of feature by greedy layer-wise unsupervised learning in a feed-forward (bottom-up) and back-forward (top-down) manner and then makes more efficient recognition with Softmax regress by supervised learning. As a comparison with the algorithms only based on supervised learning, we again propose and design many kinds of classifiers: BP, HBPNNs, RBF, HRBFNNs, SVM and multiple classification decision fusion classifier (MCDFC)—hybrid HBPNNs-HRBFNNs-SVM classifier. The conducted experiments validate: Firstly, the proposed DBNESR is optimal for face recognition with the highest and most stable recognition rates;second, the algorithm combining unsupervised and supervised learning has better effect than all supervised learning algorithms;third, hybrid neural networks have better effect than single model neural network;fourth, the average recognition rate and variance of these algorithms in order of the largest to the smallest are respectively shown as DBNESR, MCDFC, SVM, HRBFNNs, RBF, HBPNNs, BP and BP, RBF, HBPNNs, HRBFNNs, SVM, MCDFC, DBNESR;at last, it reflects hierarchical representations of feature by DBNESR in terms of its capability of modeling hard artificial intelligent tasks.

Quantitative Study on Individual Representations in Senegalese Patients Living with HIV (PLHIV)

Context: HIV infection is an infectious, viral, chronic disease described as a public health problem. It has an impact on bio-psycho-social well-being. Thus, the objective of our study is to decrypt the representations of HIV infection in our patients. Methodology: 31 consecutively recruited HIV-infected patients participated in our study. The completed questionnaire included socio-demographic characteristics, association membership, psycho-social aspects of HIV infection, mode of transmission and adherence to antiretroviral treatment. Secondly, we proceeded to an assessment of the psychological state of the patient. Results: Almost 77% of HIV patients do not date peers in an association. At the time of the study, more than half of patients or 19/31 with HIV had a positive image of the disease. Before the diagnosis of the disease, more than 2/3 of patients with HIV, i.e. 25/31, have a negative image of the disease. The 31 PLHIV have been aware of their positive HIV status for an average of 11 years with extremes of 2 years and 21 years. Almost 21/31 of PLHIV have shared their positive serological status. The main barrier in patient communication was the risk of disclosure of HIV status. Most of the patients (45.2%) thought of death when they announced their positive HIV status, and 19.4% thought of their children. In 80.6% of cases, relationships with family, friends and neighbors were normal and remained unchanged for 74% of patients. The patients thought they had been infected through sexual intercourse in 84% of cases. Our study showed that 6 of the 31 PLHIV experienced stigma. Among these 6 patients, 3 had psychological repercussions and a voluntary interruption of treatment. Conclusion: The representations are dynamic. In Senegal, the eradication of discrimination among people living with HIV must imperatively involve a reconstruction of individual, collective and social representations.

D Dimensions and N ×N Matrix Representations of Fermions

The connection between the number of dimensions and the size of the representation matrices in the Dirac equation has been discussed thoroughly and the restriction N2 = 2D was derived. In this summary, the result is brought again, this time with emphasis on the importance of irreducibility of the representations. As a counter example, the case of the neutrino is discussed where the above restriction does not hold, indicating that the Dirac equation, in this case, is reducible.

Study on the Perceptions and Social Representations of Husbands on Family Planning in the Health District of Pout/Senegal

Contraception is a set of procedures that aim to achieve temporary infertility in a woman without her ability to conceive being engaged in the future. It plays an essential role in the health of women and children, the psychological well-being of husbands and allows, among other things, savings for the family. The objective was to study the perceptions and social representations of husbands on family planning. A mixed method was used with a qualitative dominance, carried out in the health district of Pout. The result showed that the perceptions and representations of husbands influence this practice family planning. Even if they have positive attitudes and a good level of knowledge about contraceptive methods, their involvement in FP practices remains low with gaps to be filled. Direct or intermediate variables such as the social, cultural, economic and religious aspects are pitfalls. Indeed, the commitment of men and the consideration of their social attributes are variables to be integrated into the process of information and awareness on family planning;this is crucial in achieving Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 3 (Good Health and Well-being), including its target 7 focused on sexual and proactive health: a second best move towards the demographic dividend.
