    twelve Li Shangyin The History Poems 李商隱, 詠史 Li Shangyin, On History1 歷覽前賢國與家 I have read of all former worthies, of their families and domains, 成由勤儉破由奢 success came from earnestness and restraint, ruin came from excess.2 何須琥珀方為枕 What need must it be amber before one can have a pillow?3 豈得珍珠始是車 why should one have to have pearls in order to have a carriage?4 ————— 1. 29200; Jijie 347; Ye (1985) 134; Zhou 102. 2. Han Feizi, Shi guo 十過: You Yu 由余 was sent on a diplomatic mission to Qin, where Duke Mu asked why rulers gained or lost their domains. You Yu replied: “They always gain it by restraint and lose it by excess” 常以儉得之, 以奢失之. 3. There are several amber pillows mentioned in the historical record. Zhou Zhenfu and Ye cite the most famous example of the amber pillow included in the gifts to Zhao Feiyan when she became empress. This best fits the context. Jijie prefers an allusion to another amber pillow presented as a tribute gift to Song Wudi. On his campaign north, Wudi learned that amber could heal wounds made by weapons and ordered that the pil- low be broken up and distributed to his generals. Jijie clearly interprets the line as an ex- ample of frugality and restraint. 4. Shi ji, Tian Jingzhong Wan shijia 田敬仲完世家: King Wei of Qi met the king of Liang, who boasted that although his domain was small, he had huge pearls to adorn the princely carriages. King Wei of Qi responded that his treasures were of a different sort and began enumerating his advisers, whose “light shone a thousand leagues.” The History Poems 413 運去不逢青海馬 Fate’s cycle wanes, one does not find Kokonor horses,5 力窮難拔蜀山蛇 strength runs out, one cannot pull up the snake in Shu’s mountains.6 幾人曾預南薰曲 How many men could ever anticipate the song of the aromatic south wind?—7 終古蒼梧哭翠華 at Cangwu for eternity they weep for the kingfisher bunting.8 In many ways “On History” represents the sober ideal of the “poem on history,” yongshi shi 詠史詩.

    Automated Machine Learning - a brief review at the end of the early years Hugo Jair Escalante Computer Science Department Instituto Nacional de Astrof´ısica, Optica´ y Electronica,´ Tonanzintla, Puebla, 72840, Mexico E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Automated machine learning (AutoML) is the sub-field of machine learning that aims at automating, to some extend, all stages of the design of a machine learning system. In the context of supervised learning, AutoML is concerned with feature extraction, pre processing, model design and post processing. Major contributions and achievements in AutoML have been taking place during the recent decade. We are there- fore in perfect timing to look back and realize what we have learned. This chapter aims to summarize the main findings in the early years of AutoML. More specifically, in this chapter an introduction to AutoML for supervised learning is provided and an historical review of progress in this field is presented. Likewise, the main paradigms of AutoML are described and research opportunities are outlined. 1 Introduction Automated Machine Learning or AutoML is a term coined by the machine learning community to refer to methods that aim at automating the design and development of machine learning systems and appli- cations [33]. In the context of supervised learning, AutoML aims at relaxing the need of the user in the loop from all stages in the design of supervised learning systems (i.e., any system relying on models for classification, recognition, regression, forecasting, etc.). This is a tangible need at present, as data are be- arXiv:2008.08516v1 [cs.LG] 19 Aug 2020 ing generated vastly and in practically any context and scenario, however, the number of machine learning experts available to analyze such data is overseeded.

Robust deep learning: A case study Victor Estrade, Cecile Germain, Isabelle Guyon, David Rousseau Laboratoire de Recherche en Informatique Abstract. We report on an experiment on robust classification. The literature proposes adversarial and generative learning, as well as feature construction with auto-encoders. In both cases, the context is domain- knowledge-free performance. As a consequence, the robustness quality relies on the representativity of the training dataset wrt the possible perturbations. When domain-specific a priori knowledge is available, as in our case, a specific flavor of DNN called Tangent Propagation is an effective and less data-intensive alternative. Keywords: Domain adaptation, Deep Neural Networks, High Energy Physics 1 Motivation This paper addresses the calibration of a classifier in presence of systematic errors, with an example in High Energy Physics.

  • The Ideology and Significance of the Legalists School and the School Of
    Advances in Social Science, Education and Humanities Research, volume 351 4th International Conference on Modern Management, Education Technology and Social Science (MMETSS 2019) The Ideology and Significance of the Legalists School and the School of Diplomacy in the Warring States Period Chen Xirui The Affiliated High School to Hangzhou Normal University [email protected] Keywords: Warring States Period; Legalists; Strategists; Modern Economic and Political Activities Abstract: In the Warring States Period, the legalist theory was popular, and the style of reforming the country was permeated in the land of China. The Seven Warring States known as Qin, Qi, Chu, Yan, Han, Wei and Zhao have successively changed their laws and set the foundation for the country. The national strength hovers between the valley and school’s doctrines have accelerated the historical process of the Great Unification. The legalists laid a political foundation for the big country, constructed a power framework and formulated a complete policy. On the rule of law, the strategist further opened the gap between the powers of the country. In other words, the rule of law has created conditions for the cross-border family to seek the country and the activity of the latter has intensified the pursuit of the former. This has sparked the civilization to have a depth and breadth thinking of that period, where the need of ideology and research are crucial and necessary. This article will specifically address the background of the legalists, the background of these two generations, their historical facts and major achievements as well as the research into the practical theory that was studies during that period.

Mair with a complete transcription and word-for-word glosses of the Manchu translation by H. T. Toh Victor H. Mair, Editor Sino-Platonic Papers Department of East Asian Languages and Civilizations University of Pennsylvania Philadelphia, PA 19104-6305 USA [email protected] www.sino-platonic.org SINO-PLATONIC PAPERS is an occasional series edited by Victor H. Mair. The purpose of the series is to make available to specialists and the interested public the results of research that, because of its unconventional or controversial nature, might otherwise go unpublished. The editor actively encourages younger, not yet well established, scholars and independent authors to submit manuscripts for consideration. Contributions in any of the major scholarly languages of the world, including Romanized Modern Standard Mandarin (MSM) and Japanese, are acceptable. In special circumstances, papers written in one of the Sinitic topolects (fangyan) may be considered for publication. Although the chief focus of Sino-Platonic Papers is on the intercultural relations of China with other peoples, challenging and creative studies on a wide variety of philological subjects will be entertained. This series is not the place for safe, sober, and stodgy presentations. Sino-Platonic Papers prefers lively work that, while taking reasonable risks to advance the field, capitalizes on brilliant new insights into the development of civilization. The only style-sheet we honor is that of consistency. Where possible, we prefer the usages of the Journal of Asian Studies.

  • Do Not Kill the Goose That Lays Golden Eggs: the Reasons of the Deficiencies in China’S Intellectual Property Rights Protection
    DO NOT KILL THE GOOSE THAT LAYS GOLDEN EGGS: THE REASONS OF THE DEFICIENCIES IN CHINA’S INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS PROTECTION XIUYI ZHENG MPhil University of York Law March 2015 Abstract China’s intellectual property protection, which has been considered weak and discussed for decades, is playing an increasingly significant role in global trading. In the past decades, China has made great strikes in its intellectual property rights (IPR) protection, while its performance is still not satisfactory, especially in the eyes of developed countries. Before taking any further coercive strategies, both developed countries and China should look into the reasons of the deficiencies in China’s IPR protection so that measures could be taken more efficiently. This thesis will focus on the detailed history of the development of China’s IPR protection with a historical method, thus justifying the theory that late start and slow development are the main two reasons of the deficiencies in China’s IPR system. The concept of IPR did not exist in China until the end of 19th century due to the influence of Confucianism. The weak awareness of IPR lasted till now. From the day that western forces brought the idea of IPR into China to the establishment of a genuine protection system, China experienced a violent social turbulence with many changes in regimes and guiding ideologies. Meanwhile, Chinese government was continuously in the dilemma: whether they should pursuit a better IPR protection system or learn advanced knowledge and technologies from developed countries. All these factors slowed down the development of IPR in China.

  • Welcome to the Romance of the Three Kingdoms Podcast. This Is Episode 12. We Ended the Last Episode with Dong Zhuo Having Been L
    Welcome to the Romance of the Three Kingdoms Podcast. This is episode 12. We ended the last episode with Dong Zhuo having been lured back to the capital thinking that the emperor is about to abdicate and give him the throne. And he kept thinking that despite a number of ominous signs along the way telling him otherwise. One of the wheels on his carriage broke. His horse started acting up. And then he heard some rather melancholy words in a children’s song. The credit for keeping this pretense going belongs to Li Su (4), the man who was sent to deliver the fake message to lure Dong Zhuo to his doom. At every turn, Li Su explained away what looked like bad omens and turned them into auspicious signs instead, and Dong Zhuo believed him. But the lyrics of the children’s song were not, as Li Su had said, foretelling Dong Zhuo’s rise to the throne. Instead, they foretold his downfall. The meaning of the words can’t be explained without actually seeing the Chinese characters, so instead of trying to explain it verbally on this podcast, I’ve posted a visual explanation on the website, so check it out. It’s a type of Chinese wordplay that we’ll see again later in the novel, and it’s pretty neat. So anyway, the next morning, Dong Zhuo set out for court. Along the way, he saw a Taoist priest, wearing a dark robe and a white headdress, carrying a long staff. Tied to the staff was a 10-foot-long piece of white cloth, and at the either end of the cloth was written the character for “mouth”.
