Synthesizing photorealistic images with deep generative learning by Zheng, Chuanxia

“…Part 3 combines recognitive learning and the latest generative modeling into a holistic scene decomposition and completion framework, where a network is trained to decompose a scene into individual objects, infer their underlying occlusion relationships, and moreover imagine what the originally occluded objects may look like, while using only a single image as input. In Chapter 6, the aim is to derive a higher-level structural decomposition of a scene, automatically recognizing objects and generating intact shapes as well as photorealistic appearances for occluded regions, without requiring manual masking as in Part 2. …”

Neural abstractive summarization: improvements at the sequence-level by Ravaut, Mathieu

“…The task can be divided into extractive summarization, where the system must produce an output solely made of input contents, and abstractive summarization, where the model is free to generate new text, much like a human would do. In this thesis, we only consider the latter, more challenging abstractive summarization use case. …”

儒家的异端 ： 试析李贽思想与儒家学说的共通点 = An analysis of the similarity between Lizhi’s thoughts and Confucianism by 刘佑勋 Liew, Youxun

“…Having described the common role of Confucianism as an authoritative form of order under the context of a traditional China’s society, I would like to point out the corrupted nature of the Ming dynasty’s imperial court（明代朝廷、明代官学）, which took advantage of the above mentioned Confucian Ethics for its own benefits, whilst compromising the welfare of its commoners.In response to this, Li Zhi（李贽） advocated the discourse on the topic of “genuine human nature”（自然之性）, which not only emphasized the significance of retaining a pure, genuine and untainted form of human nature, but also criticized the “pseudo-moralists”（明代伪道学家） along with the corrupted imperial court for tainting and restricting the genuine nature of humanity, in the name of upholding the Confucian Ethics. …”
