Abstract: Provided are a game system, a game method, a game program, and a game server capable of, in a game in which a plurality of players can participate, contributing to a team through behaviors other than interpersonal battles in the game and encouraging fight together with other players. A game system 1 comprising: a character state decision unit 50 that is configured to decide a state of a neutral character based on a result of a fight between the neutral character and a player character; and a point giving control unit 62 that is configured to control a giving of points of the neutral character to a player, wherein the point giving control unit 62 is further configured to automatically give the points to the player if a first condition is satisfied, and cause a point object to appear in a play field and make the point object available for acquisition by any player of an ally team and an enemy team if a second condition is satisfied.

Abstract: Compositions and kits for diagnosing and prognosing Alzheimer's Disease (AD) in a human patient include a binding agent such as a monoclonal antibody for a biomarker conjugated to a detectable moiety such as a fluorophore, wherein the biomarker is chosen from CD11c, CD59, CD91, and CD163 and other phagocytosis-related molecules. Further compositions and kits employ panels of fluorophore-conjugated monoclonal antibodies for biomarkers including scavenger receptors. Methods for determining the relative expression of biomarkers, diagnosing AD, and determining the efficacy of AD therapeutic candidates such as phagocytosis-promoting agents and scavenger receptor agonists also appear.

Abstract: A method and an apparatus for processing word vectors of a neural machine translation model, and a non-transitory computer-readable recording medium are provided. In the method, word vectors that are input to an encoder and a decoder of a neural machine translation model are updated using semantic information among head representations at the same time and semantic information among head representations at different times, and the model is trained or translation is performed using the updated word vectors, thereby improving the model performance of the neural machine translation model.

Abstract: A method and an apparatus for ranking responses of a dialog model, and a non-transitory computer-readable recording medium are provided. The dialog model is trained based on a sample data set. The method includes obtaining, from the sample data set, at least one similar dialog whose content is semantically similar to content of a target dialog; obtaining a probability of at least one target response generated by the dialog model when inputting the target dialog, and obtaining a probability of a target response generated by the dialog model when inputting the similar dialog; statistically analyzing, based on the probabilities of the respective generated target responses, scores of the target responses, the scores of the target responses being positively correlated with the probabilities of the target responses; and ranking the target responses in a descending order of the scores.

Abstract: Examples of systems and methods for integrated photonic broadband microwave transceivers are disclosed based on integrated coherent dual optical frequency combs. In some cases, when the system is configured as a transmitter, multiple radio frequency (RF) carriers can be generated, which can either be encoded independently, or used for broadcasting the same information into different bands. In some cases, when the system is configured as a receiver, the spectrum of the input signal can be sliced into several spectral segments for low-bandwidth detection and analysis. In some systems, the optics-related functionalities can be achieved via integrated optic technology, for example based on silicon photonics, providing tremendous possibilities for mass-production with significantly reduced system footprint.

Abstract: An exhaustive service dual round-robin matching (EDRRM) arbitration process amortizes the cost of a match over multiple time slots. It achieves high throughput under nonuniform traffic. Its delay performance is not sensitive to traffic burstiness, switch size and packet length. Since cells belonging to the same packet are transferred to the output continuously, packet delay performance is improved and packet reassembly is simplified.
