1. Information Re-Organization Improves Reasoning in Large Language Models

Abstract

Improving the reasoning capabilities of large language models (LLMs) has attracted considerable interest. Recent approaches primarily focus on improving the reasoning process to yield a more precise final answer. However, in scenarios involving contextually aware reasoning, these methods neglect the importance of first identifying logical relationships from the context before proceeding with the reasoning. This oversight could lead to a superficial understanding and interaction with the context, potentially undermining the quality and reliability of the reasoning outcomes. In this paper, we propose an information re-organization (InfoRE) method before proceeding with the reasoning to enhance the reasoning ability of LLMs. Our re-organization method involves initially extracting logical relationships from the contextual content, such as documents or paragraphs, and subsequently pruning redundant content to minimize noise. Then, we utilize the re-organized information in the reasoning process. This enables LLMs to deeply understand the contextual content by clearly perceiving these logical relationships, while also ensuring high-quality responses by eliminating potential noise. To demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach in improving the reasoning ability, we conduct experiments using Llama2-70B, GPT-3.5, and GPT-4 on various contextually aware multi-hop reasoning tasks. Using only a zero-shot setting, our method achieves an average absolute improvement of 4% across all tasks, highlighting its potential to improve the reasoning performance of LLMs. Our source code is available at https://github.com/hustcxx/InfoRE., Comment: 15 pages, 4 figures

2. Improving Complex Knowledge Base Question Answering via Question-to-Action and Question-to-Question Alignment

Abstract

Complex knowledge base question answering can be achieved by converting questions into sequences of predefined actions. However, there is a significant semantic and structural gap between natural language and action sequences, which makes this conversion difficult. In this paper, we introduce an alignment-enhanced complex question answering framework, called ALCQA, which mitigates this gap through question-to-action alignment and question-to-question alignment. We train a question rewriting model to align the question and each action, and utilize a pretrained language model to implicitly align the question and KG artifacts. Moreover, considering that similar questions correspond to similar action sequences, we retrieve top-k similar question-answer pairs at the inference stage through question-to-question alignment and propose a novel reward-guided action sequence selection strategy to select from candidate action sequences. We conduct experiments on CQA and WQSP datasets, and the results show that our approach outperforms state-of-the-art methods and obtains a 9.88\% improvements in the F1 metric on CQA dataset.

Abstract

Joint entity and relation extraction has been a core task in the field of information extraction. Recent approaches usually consider the extraction of relational triples from a stereoscopic perspective, either learning a relation-specific tagger or separate classifiers for each relation type. However, they still suffer from error propagation, relation redundancy and lack of high-level connections between triples. To address these issues, we propose a novel query-based approach to construct instance-level representations for relational triples. By metric-based comparison between query embeddings and token embeddings, we can extract all types of triples in one step, thus eliminating the error propagation problem. In addition, we learn the instance-level representation of relational triples via contrastive learning. In this way, relational triples can not only enclose rich class-level semantics but also access to high-order global connections. Experimental results show that our proposed method achieves the state of the art on five widely used benchmarks., Comment: Accepted to EMNLP 2022, submission version

Abstract

Math word problem solver requires both precise relation reasoning about quantities in the text and reliable generation for the diverse equation. Current sequence-to-tree or relation extraction methods regard this only from a fixed view, struggling to simultaneously handle complex semantics and diverse equations. However, human solving naturally involves two consistent reasoning views: top-down and bottom-up, just as math equations also can be expressed in multiple equivalent forms: pre-order and post-order. We propose a multi-view consistent contrastive learning for a more complete semantics-to-equation mapping. The entire process is decoupled into two independent but consistent views: top-down decomposition and bottom-up construction, and the two reasoning views are aligned in multi-granularity for consistency, enhancing global generation and precise reasoning. Experiments on multiple datasets across two languages show our approach significantly outperforms the existing baselines, especially on complex problems. We also show after consistent alignment, multi-view can absorb the merits of both views and generate more diverse results consistent with the mathematical laws., Comment: 14 pages, 5 figures, 3 appendix figures

Abstract

In this study our focus was on revealing the functional mechanism of college students' sense of responsibility in relation to COVID-19 prevention and control in the family. We conducted a survey with 1,056 students in five provinces in China. Results of structural equation modeling showed that students' sense of responsibility was significantly and positively correlated with their promotive voice, family cognitive cohesion, and pandemic prevention behavior at home. Sense of responsibility directly influenced their pandemic prevention behavior at home and indirectly affected this behavior through the mediating effects of promotive voice and family cognitive cohesion. There was also a chain mediation effect revealing the internal mechanism of students' sense of responsibility on the formation of family members' social morality and behavior, which is of significance in enriching understanding of social morality formation and improving the practice of ideological and political education in tertiary institutions.

Abstract

Ferroptosis, characterized by glutamate overload, glutathione depletion, and cysteine/cystine deprivation during iron- and oxidative-damage-dependent cell death, is a particular mode of regulated cell death. It is expected to effectively treat cancer through its tumor-suppressor function, as mitochondria are the intracellular energy factory and a binding site of reactive oxygen species production, closely related to ferroptosis. This review summarizes relevant research on the mechanisms of ferroptosis, highlights mitochondria's role in it, and collects and classifies the inducers of ferroptosis. A deeper understanding of the relationship between ferroptosis and mitochondrial function may provide new strategies for tumor treatment and drug development based on ferroptosis.

Abstract

Duckling short beak and dwarfism syndrome virus (SBDSV), an emerging goose parvovirus, has caused short beak and dwarfism syndrome (SBDS) in Chinese duck flocks since 2015. Presently, there is no commercial vaccine against SBDS. In the present study, a virus-like particle (VLP)-based candidate vaccine was developed against this disease. A baculovirus expression system was used to express the SBDSV VP2 protein in Sf9 cells. Immunofluorescence assay, sodium dodecyl sulphate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) and Western blotting were used to confirm protein expression. Furthermore, transmission electron microscopy was used to observe the formation of VLPs. VLPs were formulated into an oil-adjuvanted maternal vaccine to evaluate humoral responses in breeding ducks via latex particle agglutination inhibition assay (LPAI) and microneutralization assay. The offspring were challenged with SBDSV to test the protective efficacy. A single dose of SBDSV was able to induce the high level of LPAI antibodies in ducks, with LPAI and neutralization peak titres of 4.9 ± 1.20 log2 and 7.1 ± 1.20 log2, respectively, at 4 weeks post-vaccination (wpv). The average LPAI titre of yolk antibodies in duck eggs receiving 2 doses (first and boost doses) of the vaccine was 5.3 ± 1.09 log2 at 4 weeks post-boost. The protective efficacy of the maternal vaccine was 87.5%-100%. These results indicate that SBDSV VLPs can be a promising vaccine candidate for controlling SBDS.

Abstract

Gastric cancer (GC) is one of the most common malignant gastrointestinal tumors worldwide. Pyroptosis was widely reported to exert a crucial function in tumor development. In addition, pyroptosis was also proved to be associated with the immune landscape. However, whether pyroptosis-related lncRNAs are associated with the prognosis and the immune landscape of GC remains unclear. In the present study, we first constructed a novel risk model by using pyroptosis-related lncRNAs. We identified 11 pyroptosis-related lncRNAs for the establishment of the risk model. The risk model could be used to predict the survival outcome and immune landscape of GC patients. The results of survival analysis and AUC value of a time-related ROC curve proved that our risk model has an elevated efficiency and accuracy in predicting the survival outcome of patients. We also found that the risk model was also associated with the immune landscape, drug sensitivity, and tumor mutation burden of GC patients. In conclusion, our risk model plays a crucial role in the tumor immune microenvironment and could be used to predict survival outcomes of GC patients.

Abstract

A new disease designated as Pale liver disease (PLD) has been circulating in Chinese Muscovy duck flocks since 2014, which is characterized by fatigue, diarrhoea, sudden death and acute hepatitis with pale and haemorrhagic liver. In this study, the etiological agents of PLD were isolated, causing a significant cytopathic effect (CPE) by cell rounding. Virus particles were observed by transmission electron microscopic (TEM) observation. The same disease was reproduced by experimental infection with the isolate BG61. The whole genomes of isolates were 43,842 nt in length with a GC content of 47.11%, similar to French Muscovy duck adenovirus strain GR with a GC content of 46.08%. The isolates shared 99.71–99.95% and 93.31–93.33% identity with Chinese Muscovy duck adenovirus isolates and GR strain, respectively. The DNA polymerase gene of all Muscovy duck adenovirus strains formed a separate genetic lineage with 99.55–100% amino acid sequence identity. All Chinese Muscovy duck adenovirus isolates contained two fibre genes. In contrast, only one fibre gene was found in GR, the only representative strain in species Duck aviadenovirus B. Anti‐DAdV‐2 serum antibodies had a weak neutralizing activity against Chinese Muscovy duck adenovirus isolates. The phylogenetic trees of the complete genome, hexon and fibre proteins revealed that all Muscovy duck adenovirus strains formed a major genetic lineage consisting of two clades. Thus, both GR and Chinese Muscovy duck adenovirus strains were proposed to be included in the same species of Duck aviadenovirus B belonging to the genus Aviadenovirus. The species Duck aviadenovirus B included two serotypes or genotypes, such as GR, which represents the strain of serotype 1 or genotype 1 (DAdV B1) and Chinese Muscovy duck adenovirus strains, which belong to serotype 2 or genotype 2 (DAdV B2).

Abstract

Hexavalent chromium, Cr(VI), a highly toxic oxyanion known as a carcinogen and mutagen, is an issue of concern due to its adverse impact on human health. Therefore, development of effective technologies and/or materials for Cr(VI) removal from water has been of great interest for researchers. In this study, an electrospun carbon nanofiber (CNF) mat was prepared via electrospinning polyacrylonitrile (PAN), followed by thermal pre-oxidation and carbonization. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) observation showed that the fiber diameter of the CNF with carbonization temperature of 950°C (CNF950) was about 266 nm. Potentiometric titration analysis demonstrated that the point of zero charge pH (pHpzc) of CNF950 was around 7.93. CNF950 demonstrated high adsorption capacity and fast adsorption kinetics for Cr(VI) at pH

Abstract

The Muscovy duck reovirus (MDRV) is a highly pathogenic virus that causes substantial economic losses in the Muscovy duck industry. While MDRV poses a significant threat to Muscovy ducklings, no vaccine candidates are available to date to alleviate MDRV infection throughout the world. The present study presents efforts toward establishing an attenuated vaccine for MDRV. For this purpose, a live attenuated vaccine strain named CA was obtained via alternate propagation of the MDRV isolate MW9710 in both Muscovy duck embryo fibroblasts (MDEFs) and chicken embryo fibroblasts (CEFs) for 90 passages. The CA strain achieved an adaptive growth capacity in CEFs with a viral titer that ranged between 105.0–105.5 TCID50/100 μL and lost its pathogenicity in 1-day-old Muscovy ducklings. Compared to the parent strain MW9710, the CA strain has 42 scattered amino acid substitutions, most of which are located in the λB, λC, μB, σB, and σC protein. The CA strain maintained its attenuation and showed no gene mutation or virulence reversion after back propagation into 1-day-old ducklings for five rounds. The minimum protective dose was calculated to be 300 TCID50 of the CA strain. Furthermore, a single dose of CA vaccine protected immunized ducklings against lethal challenge by the virulent MDRV strain MW9710 and significantly decreased viral loads. In summary, the CA strain exhibited striking genetic stability, excellent safety, and effective immunogenicity. This CA strain of MDRV is a promising vaccine candidate for the prevention and control of MDRV infection.
