Stability analysis of two stage stochastic mathematical programs with complementarity constraints via NLP-regularization
No full textThis paper presents numerical approximation schemes for a two stage stochastic programming problem where the second stage problem has a general nonlinear complementarity constraint: first, the complementarity constraint is approximated by a parameterized system of inequalities with a well-known regularization approach (SIOPT, Vol.11, 918-936) in deterministic mathematical programs with equilibrium constraints; the distribution of the random variables of the regularized two stage stochastic program is then approximated by a sequence of probability measures. By treating the approximation problems as a perturbation of the original (true) problem, we carry out a detailed stability analysis of the approximated problems including continuity and local Lipschitz continuity of optimal value functions, and outer semicontinuity and continuity of the set of optimal solutions and stationary points. A particular focus is given to the case when the probability distribution is approximated by the empirical probability measure which is known as sample average approximation. <br/
An Analysis of <i>Judge Lin</i>
No full textBiography of Lin Wen Zhong Gong has another way to call, that is Judge Lin. The leading character is Lin Ze-Xu. This book is based on functionary experience of Lin Ze-Xu, with the captivating plots of court case, helping by highly skilled military attach\uc3\ua9s and chivalrous knights, and the history facts of Opium War. It makes Lin Ze-Xu\ue2s Confucian temperament and tragic mood more, also contrasts with author\ue2s sorrow and furiousness for the politics at the time. History, court case, martial arts\ue2\ua6\ue2\ua6etc. are essence of this book and it broadens the way of this writing style.
The topic of the thesis is \ue2An Analysis of Judge Lin\ue2. The following thesis will be divided into six different chapters. The introduction is Chapter one of the thesis, which is including researching motive and purpose, literature review of predecessors, researching version by existing information, raising questions, choosing research methods and arranging chapters. In chapter Two, I discuss the study of characters of Lin Ze-Xu, also makes a deep analysis of author\u27s purpose of writing him. In chapter Three, I analyze supporting actors and actress. Meanwhile, I illustrate author\u27s purpose of writing supporting actress because the author had different manner to describe supporting actress. Moving to the Chapter Four, I mainly focus on the plots of Judge Lin, and organize cases of Lin Ze-Xu and his subordinates to understand features of cases. In Chapter Five, I represent the causes of Opium War. China and England had difference of opinions of opium. Therefore, it is easier to comprehend what the author\u27s purpose is. In the last chapter I summarize the main points of the preceding chapters and confirm particularity of Judge Lin
OverPrompt: Enhancing ChatGPT through Efficient In-Context Learning
No full text<p>The remarkable performance of pre-trained large language models has revolutionised various natural language processing applications. Due to huge parameter sizes and extensive running costs, companies or organisations tend to transfer the models to the target task by zero-shot prompting techniques. However, the prohibitive costs of tokens and time have hindered their adoption in applications. We propose OverPrompt, leveraging the in-context learning capability of LLMs to handle multiple task inputs, thereby reducing token and time costs. This approach could potentially improve task performance during API queries due to better conditional distribution mapping. Evaluated across diverse classification datasets, our experiments show that OverPrompt can achieve cost-efficient zero-shot classification without causing significant detriment to task performance, and in some cases, even improving it. An ablation study conducted on various LLMs, along with an investigation into the robustness of our prompting strategy to different input ordering, offers valuable insights into the broader applicability of our method across diverse tasks. These findings also suggest a more seamless integration of our method with LLMs through an API.</p>
