Abstract: This patent application relates to the treatment of cancer and other diseases that have a CD47+ phenotype. Treatment involves the use of radiation and a CD47-binding agent, preferably a CD47-binding form of human signal regulatory protein alpha (SIRPa) that inhibits activation of the CD47/SIRPa axis and mediates phagocytosis of CD47+ disease cells. An anti-cancer effect of a CD47 blocking agent is enhanced when combined with radiation therapy. The anti-cancer effect of a CD47 blocking agent such as SIRPaFc is enhanced when combined with radiation therapy.

Abstract: Implementations of the subject matter described herein provide a solution that enables a machine to automatically generate a melody. In this solution, user emotion and/or environment information is used to select a first melody feature parameter from a plurality of melody feature parameters, wherein each of the plurality of melody feature parameters corresponds to a music style of one of a plurality of reference melodies. The first melody feature parameter is further used to generate a first melody that conforms to the music style and is different from the reference melody. Thus, a melody that matches user emotions and/or environmental information may be automatically created.

Abstract: There is provided a solution for semantic representation of text in a document. In this solution, textual information comprising a sequence of text elements (220) and layout information (230) of the text element are determined from a document. The layout information (230) indicates a spatial arrangement of the plurality of text elements (220) presented within the document. Based at least in part on the plurality of text elements (220) and the layout information (230), respective semantic feature representations (180) of the plurality of text elements (220) are generated. By jointly using both the textual information and the layout information (230), rich semantics of the text elements (220) in the document can be effectively captured in the feature representations.
