Neural machine translation (NMT) heavily relies on an attention network to produce a context vector for each target word prediction. In practice, we find that context vectors for different target words are quite similar to one another and therefore are insufficient in discriminatively predicting target words. The reason for this might be that context vectors produced by the vanilla attention ne...

What’s the Buzz? In the summer of 2002, I started to circulate research that argued it is not clear that the World Trade Organization (“WTO”) or its pre-1995 predecessor the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (“GATT”) have actually increased trade. My argument was empirical and used two sorts of evidence. First, in my 2004 paper, I used bilateral and multilateral data sets to show that trad...

We have recently demonstrated that a testicular GATA-binding protein, GATA-1, up-regulates the transcription of inhibin alpha-subunit gene through interaction with GATA motifs in the promoter region in MA-10, a mouse Leydig tumor cell line. In this study, we showed that both GATA-1 and GATA-4 also transactivated the transcription from the promoter for the 4.8-kb inhibin/activin beta-B-subunit g...

As society is transformed by the usc of new technologies, information policy issues cross traditional boundaries to be found in a wide range of decision-making arenas. The New World Information Order (NWIO) debate lies relatively quiescent in Unesco, but surfaces in international trade negotiations in response to the US push to get trade in services, or international information flows, included...
