Tianjin Travel Guide
Tianjin Travel Guide Travel in Tianjin Tianjin (tiān jīn 天津), referred to as "Jin (jīn 津)" for short, is one of the four municipalities directly under the Central Government of China. It is 130 kilometers southeast of Beijing (běi jīng 北京), serving as Beijing's gateway to the Bohai Sea (bó hǎi 渤海). It covers an area of 11,300 square kilometers and there are 13 districts and five counties under its jurisdiction. The total population is 9.52 million. People from urban Tianjin speak Tianjin dialect, which comes under the mandarin subdivision of spoken Chinese. Not only is Tianjin an international harbor and economic center in the north of China, but it is also well-known for its profound historical and cultural heritage. History People started to settle in Tianjin in the Song Dynasty (sòng dài 宋代). By the 15th century it had become a garrison town enclosed by walls. It became a city centered on trade with docks and land transportation and important coastal defenses during the Ming (míng dài 明代) and Qing (qīng dài 清代) dynasties. After the end of the Second Opium War in 1860, Tianjin became a trading port and nine countries, one after the other, established concessions in the city. Historical changes in past 600 years have made Tianjin an unique city with a mixture of ancient and modem in both Chinese and Western styles. After China implemented its reforms and open policies, Tianjin became one of the first coastal cities to open to the outside world. Since then it has developed rapidly and become a bright pearl by the Bohai Sea. -

Copyright Sinitic languages of Northwest China: Where did their case marking come from?* XU DAN 1. Introduction In the early 1950s, Weinreich (1953) published a monograph on language contact. Although this subject drew the attention of a few scholars, at the time it remained marginal. Over two decades, several scholars including Moravcsik (1978), Thomason and Kaufman (1988), Aikhenvald (2002), Johanson (2002), Heine and Kuteva (2005) and others began to pay more attention to language contact. As Thomason and Kaufman (1988: 23) pointed out, language is a system, or even a system of systems. Perhaps this is why previous studies (Sapir, 1921: 203; Meillet 1921: 87) indicated that grammatical categories are not easily borrowed, since grammar is a system. -

2020Annual Report
2020 Annual Report DEAR FRIENDS With the Coronavirus national emergency declaration, Northern Illinois Hospice’s priorities shifted. Leadership pivoted and narrowed its scope to worldwide pandemic infection control and keeping patients and staff safe. By April 2020, the first individual with both a terminal diagnosis and COVID-19 was admitted. Now, more than 400 days have passed and COVID-19 has become an unwanted, extended guest of the American experience. Northern Illinois Hospice continues to be diligent with its emergency management efforts. Our team has done an amazing job, demonstrating the commitment, expertise, and quality and safety practices for which we are known. Beyond COVID-19, additionally last year: • A Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) Loan was secured, which helped with payroll for several weeks during the peak of the pandemic, and Health and Human Services (HHS) stimulus funds were received to offset COVID-related expenses. • A Capital Improvement Fund was established to From left: Northern Illinois Hospice Chief Executive plan for future needs of our building. The Fund’s first Officer Lisa Novak and Board of Directors President Jon Aldrich priority was to replace the old, worn out roof. • The Board of Directors unanimously voted to expand into DeKalb County, increasing Northern Illinois Hospice’s service area from five counties to six. This mission expansion currently is underway. • Community outreach continued, and we partnered with organizations like the Alzheimer’s Association to present webinars tailored to individuals caring for seriously ill loved ones at home. We also teamed up with local nursing and assisted living facilities to offer events like Puppy Parades to bring joy to socially-isolated residents. -

Lifelong learning of image-conditioned generation. The goal of lifelong learning is to build a model capable of adapting to tasks that are encountered se- quentially. Traditional fine-tuning methods are susceptible to catastrophic forgetting: when we add new tasks, the network forgets how to perform previous tasks (Figure 1 (b)). Storing a separate model for each task addresses catastrophic forgetting in an inefficient way as each set of parameters is only useful for a single task (Figure 1(c)). Our Piggyback GAN achieves image-conditioned generation with high image quality on par with separate models at a lower parameter cost by efficiently utilizing stored parameters (Figure 1 (d)). Abstract. Humans accumulate knowledge in a lifelong fashion. Modern deep neural networks, on the other hand, are susceptible to catastrophic forgetting: when adapted to perform new tasks, they often fail to pre- serve their performance on previously learned tasks. -

Accelerated WGAN Update Strategy with Loss Change Rate Balancing
Accelerated WGAN update strategy with loss change rate balancing Xu Ouyang Ying Chen Gady Agam Illinois Institute of Technology {xouyang3, ychen245}@hawk.iit.edu, [email protected] Abstract Optimizing the discriminator in Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) to completion in the inner training loop is computationally prohibitive, and on finite datasets would result in overfitting. To address this, a common update strat- egy is to alternate between k optimization steps for the dis- criminator D and one optimization step for the generator G. This strategy is repeated in various GAN algorithms where k is selected empirically. In this paper, we show that this update strategy is not optimal in terms of accuracy and con- vergence speed, and propose a new update strategy for net- works with Wasserstein GAN (WGAN) group related loss functions (e.g. WGAN, WGAN-GP, Deblur GAN, and Super resolution GAN). The proposed update strategy is based on a loss change ratio comparison of G and D. We demonstrate Figure 1. Comparison of the Frenchet Inception Distance (FID) that the proposed strategy improves both convergence speed for WGAN and the proposed adaptive WGAN with different co- and accuracy. efficient λ on the CIFAR10 dataset. A lower FID means better performance. The parameters nd and ng show the fixed number of update steps in WGAN for the discriminator and generator re- 1. Introduction spectively.

Is Shuma the Chinese Analog of Soma/Haoma? a Study of Early Contacts Between Indo-Iranians and Chinese
SINO-PLATONIC PAPERS Number 216 October, 2011 Is Shuma the Chinese Analog of Soma/Haoma? A Study of Early Contacts between Indo-Iranians and Chinese by ZHANG He 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 FOUNDED 1986 Editor-in-Chief VICTOR H. MAIR Associate Editors PAULA ROBERTS MARK SWOFFORD ISSN 2157-9679 (print) 2157-9687 (online) SINO-PLATONIC PAPERS is an occasional series dedicated to making 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-in-chief 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. Submissions are regularly sent out to be refereed, and extensive editorial suggestions for revision may be offered. Sino-Platonic Papers emphasizes substance over form.
