Abstract: This disclosure relates generally to multi-class multi-label classification and more particularly to contradiction avoided learning for multi-class multi-label classification. Conventional classification methods do not consider contradictory outcomes in multi-label classification tasks wherein contradictory outcomes have significant negative impact in the classification problem solution. The present disclosure provides a contradiction avoided learning multi-class multi-label classification. The disclosed method utilizes a binary contradiction matrix constructed using domain knowledge. Based on the binary contradiction matrix the training dataset is divided into two parts, one comprising contradictions and the second without contradictions. The classification model is trained using the divided datasets using a contradiction loss and a binary cross entropy loss to avoid contradictions during learning of the classification model.

Abstract: A method of designing an integrated circuit (IC) device includes generating, using a processor, a design rule instruction macro including one or more of classifying a design rule based on a design rule type, classifying a design rule based on a design rule category, or generating a definition of a derived layer. The method includes using the processor to identify a set of criteria corresponding to an IC manufacturing process, generate a design rule by applying the design rule instruction macro to define relationships within the set of criteria whereby one or more constraints of the design rule are directed to the set of criteria and assigning conditions whereby the one or more constraints of the design rule are selectively directed to the set of criteria, and store the design rule in a storage medium.

Abstract: The present application provides a method and device in a node for wireless communications. A first node receives a first information block and a second information block, and transmits a third information block. The first information block indicates a first function; the second information block indicates whether a target reference signal resource is associated with the first function; the third information block indicates a first compressed CSI, and a first pre-compressed CSI is used as an input to the first function to generate the first compressed CSI. The above method can flexibly configure a relation between reference signals and AI algorithms/parameters, and select the optimal AI algorithm/parameter to compress/decompress a CSI based on a certain reference signal, thus optimizing the performance of CSI feedback.

Abstract: An air nozzle includes a housing and an airflow regulation apparatus. The housing includes a target air outlet and an air inlet. Air flow enters the housing through the air inlet and leaves the housing through the target air outlet. The airflow regulation apparatus is located at the target air outlet and is capable of moving between a first position and a second position. The airflow regulation apparatus exerts a greater resistance against the air flow in the first position than it exerts against the air flow in the second position. When the airflow needs to be reduced, the airflow regulation apparatus is regulated to the first position to increase the resistance against the air flow at the target air outlet. When the airflow needs to be increased, the airflow regulation apparatus is regulated to the second position to reduce the resistance against the air flow at the target air outlet.

Abstract: A vacuum circuit interrupter integrates a solenoid core within the vacuum chamber for opening the separable contacts under non-fault conditions, using less space than if the solenoid were disposed in series with a high speed actuator. The interrupter includes an iron core, a steel seat with a trough, and a solenoid coil seated in the trough. The steel seat has a central opening through which the movable conductor passes. The iron core is fixed to a portion of the movable conductor so as to laterally surround the movable conductor within the vacuum chamber. The steel seat is structured such that, when the separable contacts are closed and a user provides an activating current to the solenoid coil, the magnetic field generated around the coil magnetizes the steel seat. When the steel seat is magnetized, it attracts the iron core, causing the movable conductor to separate from the stationary conductor.
