Analysis of the impact of aquaculture subsidies on production, the case of Mexico by Daniel Peñalosa-Martinell, Francisco Javier Vergara-Solana, Humberto Villarreal Colmenares

“…This study examines the effectiveness of subsidies in Mexican aquaculture by analyzing the evolution of subsidy allocation from 2010 to 2021 and its impact on production with a modified Cobb-Douglas production function. During this period, total subsidy funding declined from ≈3.8 billion MXN to ≈2 billion MXN whileproduction increased by 127%, suggesting other drivers—such as technological adoption and market expansion—played a more significant role. …”

Tibetan entity relation extraction based on multi-level attention fusion mechanism by Like WANG, Yuan SUN, Sisi LIU

“…Compared with Chinese and English, the training corpus of Tibetan entity relation is smaller, so it is difficult to obtain higher accuracy based on traditional supervised learning methods.And there exists the problem of wrong labels in distant supervision for relation extraction.To solve these problems, the distant supervision method was used to construct the data set of Tibetan entity relation extraction through aligning the knowledge base with texts, which could alleviate the problem of lacking of large-scale corpus in Tibetan.And a Tibetan entity relation extraction model based on multi-level attention fusion mechanism was proposed.The self-attention was added to extract internal features of words in word level.The selective attention mechanism could assign weights of each instance, so as to make full use of informative sentences and reduce weights of noisy instances.Meanwhile, a joint score function was introduced to correct wrong labels, and neural network was combined with support vector machine to extract relations.Experimental results show that the proposed model can effectively improve the accuracy of Tibetan entity relation extraction, and is better than the baseline.…”

An Analysis of Vectorised Automatic Differentiation for Statistical Applications by Chun Fung Kwok, Dan Zhu, Liana Jacobi

“…Our formulation is well-suited to high-dimensional statistical applications, where finite differences (FD) scale poorly due to the need to repeat computations for each input dimension, resulting in significant overhead, and is advantageous in simulation-intensive settings—such as Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC)-based inference—where FD requires repeated sampling and multiple function evaluations, while AD can compute exact derivatives in a single pass, substantially reducing computational cost. …”
