    Abstract In real-world applications, a machine learning model is required to handle an open-set recognition (OSR), where unknown classes appear during the inference, in addition to a domain shift, where the distribution of data differs between the training and inference phases. Domain generalization (DG) aims to handle the domain shift situation where the target domain of the inference phase is inaccessible during model training. Open domain generalization (ODG) takes into account both DG and OSR. Domain-Augmented Meta-Learning (DAML) is a method targeting ODG but has a complicated learning process. On the other hand, although various DG methods have been proposed, they have not been evaluated in ODG situations. This work comprehensively evaluates existing DG methods in ODG and shows that two simple DG methods, CORrelation ALignment (CORAL) and Maximum Mean Discrepancy (MMD), are competitive with DAML in several cases. In addition, we propose simple extensions of CORAL and MMD by introducing the techniques used in DAML, such as ensemble learning and Dirichlet mixup data augmentation. The experimental evaluation demonstrates that the extended CORAL and MMD can perform comparably to DAML with lower computational costs. This suggests that the simple DG methods and their simple extensions are strong baselines for ODG. The code used in the experiments is available at https://github.com/shiralab/OpenDG-Eval.

    Abstract Asymmetric organocatalysis using well-designed artificial chiral molecular catalysts is one of the most reliable methods to create important chiral compounds in a highly enantioenriched form. A wide variety of efficient asymmetric transformations have been developed by utilizing well-designed chiral organocatalysts. Among the wide variety of organocatalysts, chiral amine and phosphine catalysts that utilize the characteristics of group 15 elements are the most extensively employed for asymmetric transformations. In comparison with chiral amine and phosphine catalysts, the use of chiral sulfide catalysts has remained limited and under-developed. The catalytic abilities of chiral sulfide organocatalysts were initially investigated using Corey-Chaykovsky-type asymmetric epoxidations and related reactions

    Abstract An efficient enantioselective synthesis of γ-chiral α-spiro-γ-lactones, which are important building blocks for pharmaceuticals, was achieved via BINOL-derived chiral bifunctional sulfide-catalyzed bromolactonizations of α-allyl carboxylic acids containing either hetero- or carbocyclic structures. Transformations of the resultant α-spiro-type bromolactonization product were examined to obtain optically active γ-functionalized α-spiro-γ-lactones. The utility of this catalytic system was also demonstrated in the asymmetric synthesis of α,α-diaryl- and dialkyl-substituted γ-lactones.

    Abstract Background: Tongue coating consists of oral bacteria, desquamated epithelium, blood cells, and food residues and is involved in periodontal disease, halitosis, and aspiration pneumonia. Recently, a tongue brush with sonic vibration was developed to clean the tongue. This comparative study examined the extent of tongue coating, its effects on the tongue, bacterial count particularly on the posterior dorsum of the tongue, and the degree of pain using a manual tongue brush and the newly developed sonic tongue brush.
    Materials and methods: Patients' extent of tongue coating and the quantity of bacteria were analysed before and after brushing with a sonic or manual nylon tongue brush. Moreover, the impressions of the dorsum linguae were obtained before and after brushing to establish models that were observed under a stereo microscope to evaluate tongue trauma. Pain caused during the use of these brushes was evaluated based on the numerical rating scale (NRS).
    Results: The extent of tongue coating and number of bacteria decreased in both the sonic and manual nylon brush groups after tongue cleaning; however, no significant differences were noted. Tongue trauma evaluation revealed that the tongue surface was significantly scratched in the manual brush group compared with the sonic brush group. NRS-based pain evaluation revealed no significant differences.
    Conclusions: The sonic brush was equally effective in removing tongue coating and bacteria compared with the manual brush. As the sonic brush does not cause tongue trauma, it may be considered a safe and effective cleaning tool of the tongue.

    Abstract 1,1'-Bi-2-naphthol (BINOL)-derived chiral bifunctional sulfide and selenide catalysts that possess a hydroxy group are known to be effective catalysts for enantioselective bromolactonizations. When applied to asymmetric iodolactonizations of 4-pentenoic acids, these catalysts yield chiral γ-butyrolactone products that are important compounds in medicinal chemistry. Although chiral bifunctional selenides have shown good catalytic performances in enantioselective iodolactonizations, reactions with BINOL-derived chiral sulfide catalysts unexpectedly gave iodolactonization products in nearly racemic forms. The roles of chalcogenide moieties and hydroxy groups on bifunctional catalysts were investigated, and the importance of both a selenide moiety and a hydroxy group on chiral bifunctional selenide catalysts to achieve enantioselective iodolactonizations was clarified. An optimized chiral bifunctional selenide catalyst was applied to the asymmetric synthesis of chiral γ-butyrolactones and phthalides. Furthermore, the utility of chiral bifunctional selenides was also demonstrated in the catalytic enantioselective desymmetrizing iodolactonization of α,α-diallyl carboxylic acids.

    Abstract Conversational gestures have a crucial role in realizing natural interactions with virtual agents and robots. Data-driven approaches, such as deep learning and machine learning, are promising in constructing the gesture generation model, which automatically provides the gesture motion for speech or spoken texts. This study experimentally analyzes a deep learning-based gesture generation model from spoken text using a convolutional neural network. The proposed model takes a sequence of spoken words as the input and outputs a sequence of 2D joint coordinates representing the conversational gesture motion. We prepare a dataset consisting of gesture motions and spoken texts by adding text information to an existing dataset and train the models using specific speaker's data. The quality of the generated gestures is compared with those from an existing speech-to-gesture generation model through a user perceptual study. The subjective evaluation shows that the model performance is comparable or superior to those by the existing speech-to-gesture generation model. In addition, we investigate the importance of data cleansing and loss function selection in the text-to-gesture generation model. We further examine the model transferability between speakers. The experimental results demonstrate successful model transferability of the proposed model. Finally, we show that the text-to-gesture generation model can produce good quality gestures even when using a transformer architecture.
