    Abstract Crowdsourcing has become a new distributed paradigm, which uses online crowds to solve complex problems. Recently, in order to reduce the development workload and research threshold of crowdsourcing applications, crowdsourcing process modeling is attracting more and more attention. However, complex crowdsourcing processes used for creative and open-ended work have remained out of reach for process modeling, because this type of process usually has a dynamic execution, in which the type, number, and order of tasks and subtasks are often unknown in advance but are determined dynamically at runtime. In this paper, we propose a modeling approach and supporting framework to fill this gap. Specifically, we provide a task model composition to allow task creation on demand, while collaborating on tasks in a tree structure to adapt to the dynamic execution. Moreover, we introduce a set of message communication modes to support data exchange among tasks. Finally, we construct a framework named CrowdModeller to embody this approach. Through two evaluations, we demonstrate its effectiveness.

    Abstract Currently, inter-organizational process collaboration (IOPC) has been widely used in the design and development of distributed systems that support business process execution. Blockchain-based IOPC can establish trusted data sharing among participants, attracting more and more attention. The core of such study is to translate the graphical model (e.g., BPMN) into program code called smart contract that can be executed in the blockchain environment. In this context, a proper smart contract plays a vital role in the correct implementation of block-chain-based IOPC. In fact, the quality of graphical model affects the smart con-tract generation. Problematic models (e.g., deadlock) will result in incorrect contracts (causing unexpected behaviours). To avoid this undesired implementation, this paper explores to generate smart contracts by using the verified formal model as input instead of graphical model. Specifically, we introduce a prototype framework that supports the automatic generation of smart contracts, providing an end-to-end solution from modeling, verification, translation to implementation. One of the cores of this framework is to provide a CSP#-based formalization for the BPMN collaboration model from the perspective of message interaction. This formalization provides precise execution semantics and model verification for graphical models, and a verified formal model for smart contract generation. Another novelty is that it introduces a syntax tree-based translation algorithm to directly map the formal model into a smart contract. The required formalism, verification and translation techniques are transparent to users without imposing additional burdens. Finally, a set of experiments shows the effectiveness of the framework.

    Abstract The rich flavors and antioxidant properties within Maofeng tea are mainly attributable to numerous secondary metabolites and thus may be related to quality. Motivated by this finding, our study presents a sparse representation (SR) scheme to analyze the content of various secondary metabolites and thus identify discriminating compounds (DCs) for the modelling of Maofeng tea quality. We first identified the DCs in terms of an interpretable sparse recovery strategy with LASSO regression. The optimal regularization term was estimated by a specific Karush–Kuhn–Tucker (KKT) optimal condition. Then, qualitative analysis models were trained with screened DCs and utilized to predict the quality of unseen Maofeng samples. For this purpose, 96 Maofeng samples of 6 different quality grades were collected, and standardized stoichiometry techniques determined 21 quality-related bioactive compounds and empirical quality indicators. The experimental results show that epigallocatechin (EGC), epicatechin (EC), gallocatechin gallate (GCG) and total catechins (TC) were identified as significant discriminating features, and the KNN algorithm provided the best assessment accuracy of 95.79%. Overall, the result demonstrates the superior performance of benchmarks for enhancing the reliable prediction of Maofeng tea quality, not only prediction accuracy but also providing interpretable assessment.

    Abstract The uncertainty in tea classification affects the market presence of tea and damages the related economic interests. The quick and accurate identification of tea quality grades has a significant impact on the profitability of the tea market as the prices of different grades of tea quality vary greatly. In this research, 19 chemical substances that affect the quality of Huangshan Maofeng tea were detected using stoichiometry. A model-based scheme comprising the use of the stepwise regression method (SRM) was established to estimate tea quality grades. The rationale of the filtering of sparse variables in SRM is to put the elements through the preset F-statistic test to determine the selection of variables. The results of the SRM are then compared with those of elastic net and the partial least squares discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed scheme. Furthermore, in order to verify the stability of the model, Monte Carlo experiments were conducted on the constructed models. The predictive accuracy of the SRM, PLS-DA, and elastic net algorithms were 68.75%, 75.86%, and 71.88%, respectively. The radar diagram, which is drawn according to the sparse coefficient vector obtained using SRM, illustrates that the proposed scheme can overcome the correlation between all the detection variables. It is concluded that SRM achieves the highest prediction accuracy with the least number of features, thereby simplifying the process of chemical detection, and provides a new effective scheme for batch tea-quality-grade estimation.

    Abstract Immunotherapy has become the central pillar of cancer therapy. Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs), a major category of tumor immunotherapy, reactivate preexisting anticancer immunity. Initially, ICIs were approved only for advanced and metastatic cancers in the salvage setting after or concurrent with chemotherapy at a response rate of around 20-30% with a few exceptions. With significant progress over the decade, advances in immunotherapy have led to numerous clinical trials investigating ICIs as neoadjuvant and/or adjuvant therapies for resectable solid tumors. The promising results of these trials have led to the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approvals of ICIs as neoadjuvant or adjuvant therapies for non-small cell lung cancer, melanoma, triple-negative breast cancer, and bladder cancer, and the list continues to grow. This therapy represents a paradigm shift in cancer treatment, as many early-stage cancer patients could be cured with the introduction of immunotherapy in the early stages of cancer. Therefore, this topic became one of the main themes at the 2021 China Cancer Immunotherapy Workshop co-organized by the Chinese American Hematologist and Oncologist Network, the China National Medical Products Administration and the Tsinghua University School of Medicine. This review article summarizes the current landscape of ICI-based immunotherapy, emphasizing the new clinical developments of ICIs as curative neoadjuvant and adjuvant therapies for early-stage disease.

    Abstract Baseline correction is a critical step for eliminating the interference of baseline drift in spectroscopic analysis. The recently proposed sparse Bayesian learning (SBL)-based method can significantly improve the baseline correction performance. However, it has at least two disadvantages: (i) it works poorly for large-scale datasets and (ii) it completely ignores the burst-sparsity structure of the sparse representation of the pure spectrum. In this paper, we present a new fast burst-sparsity learning method for baseline correction to overcome these shortcomings. The first novelty of the proposed method is to jointly adopt a down-sampling strategy and construct a multiple measurements block-sparse recovery problem with the down-sampling sequences. The down-sampling strategy can significantly reduce the dimension of the spectrum; while jointly exploiting the block sparsity among the down-sampling sequences avoids losing the information contained in the original spectrum. The second novelty of the proposed method is introducing the pattern-coupled prior into the SBL framework to characterize the inherent burst-sparsity in the sparse representation of spectrum. As illustrated in the paper, burst-sparsity commonly occurs in peak zones with more denser nonzero coefficients. Properly utilizing such burst-sparsity can further enhance the baseline correction performance. Results on both simulated and real datasets (such as FT-IR, Raman spectrum, and chromatography) verify the substantial improvement, in terms of estimation accuracy and computational complexity.
