  • Publication number: 20240144093
    Abstract: System and methods for relational time-series learning are provided. Unlike traditional time series forecasting techniques, which assume either complete time series independence or complete dependence, the disclosed system and method allow time series forecasting that can be performed on multivariate time series represented as vertices in graphs with arbitrary structures and predicting a future classification for data items represented by one of nodes in the graph. The system and methods also utilize non-relational, relational, temporal data for classification, and allow using fast and parallel classification techniques with linear speedups. The system and methods are well-suited for processing data in a streaming or online setting and naturally handle training data with skewed or unbalanced class labels.

  • Publication number: 20240129066
    Abstract: This application provides a HARQ feedback method and an apparatus. The method includes: A terminal device receives first indication information, where the first indication information indicates a first quantity of retransmissions of first data. The terminal device obtains a second quantity of retransmissions based on a HARQ feedback result and/or a decoding result of second data, where the second data is data retransmitted by the terminal device before the terminal device retransmits the first data. The terminal device sends the first data by using a target quantity of retransmissions, where the target quantity of retransmissions is a smaller one of the first quantity of retransmissions and the second quantity of retransmissions. According to the method, data transmission is performed by using the determined target quantity of retransmissions, so that a delay caused by a HARQ can be reduced, resources can be saved, and power consumption can be reduced.

  • Patent number: 11820995
    Abstract: A method for creating a new germplasm of a male sterile crop by gene editing and an application thereof are provided. In this method, the gene editing is performed on an exon region of a Ty-5 gene, and a deletion of DNA sequence is introduced by using a repair mechanism of plants themselves to double-strand breaks (DSBs), causing a loss of function of Ty-5 gene, thereby obtaining a male-sterile character. The method can be applied without being limited by crop categories. After the gene editing is performed on Ty-5 genes of various crops, new germplasms can be quickly obtained. The new germplasms have the same agronomic characters as the previous materials, and only differ in sexual aspect, which effectively solves the problem of the lack of male sterile materials and unstable fertility in natural resources.
