Cooperative Hierarchical Dirichlet Processes: Superposition vs. Maximization [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2017
The cooperative hierarchical structure is a common and significant data structure observed in, or adopted by, many research areas, such as: text mining (author-paper-word) and multi-label classification (label-instance-feature). Renowned Bayesian approaches for cooperative hierarchical structure modeling are mostly based on topic models. However, these

Programmed Fabrication of Vesicle‐Based Prototissue Fibers with Modular Functionalities

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
The fabrication of freestanding vesicle‐based prototissue fibers is reported. The lengths, diameters, and shapes of the fibers can be well‐controlled. Multimodular fibers with different prototissues can be fabricated. Focusing on modularity, manipulation functionalities are obtained when connected with magnetic fibers.
