Love in the Rich Family: The Elegant Ex-wife

Volume 2

By: Lan BingQianYing

Ji Ge had been married for three years, but her husband didn't even care to touch her. He was pregnant with Little San and Mi Mei, so he tried to make her move in front of Ji Ge. It was fine if she moved, but she suddenly became popular after making her mental preparations. Scum husband changed his mind, the domineering CEO repeatedly expressed his goodwill, and he didn't know when he fell in love with his senior. Ji Gongle didn't even know what to do anymore. In the face of danger, the domineering CEO could only use his trump card, "Ji Ge, this child was born by you." It meant that he already knew where he would go from here. Looking at the little bun, Ji Ge reluctantly gave up on a large group of handsome guys. CEO: "Man, when you are competing, you must be prepared. See, I now have beauties and a son. I would like to give my IQ a Like!

Popular Religion in Modern China

The New Role of Nuo

By: Lan Li

Since the early 1980s, China's rapid economic growth and social transformation have greatly altered the role of popular religion in the country. This book makes a new contribution to the research on the phenomenon by examining the role which popular religion has played in modern Chinese politics. Popular Religion in Modern China uses Nuo as an example of how a popular religion has been directly incorporated into the Chinese Community Party's (CCP) policies and how the religion functions as a tool to maintain socio-political stability, safeguard national unification and raise the country's cultural 'soft power' in the eyes of the world. It provides rich new material on the interplay between contemporary Chinese politics, popular religion and economic development in a rapidly changing society.

Metasurface Holography

By: Zi-Lan Deng,Xiangping Li,Guixin Li

The merging of metasurface and holography brings about unprecedented opportunities for versatile manipulation of light in terms of both far-field wavefront and near-field profile. In this book, a brief evolving history from surface plasmon polariton holography to metamaterial holography and finally to metasurface holography is introduced at first. Basic physical mechanisms that govern the phase modulation rules behind metasurface holography design are discussed later. Next, extended functionalities such as arbitrary polarization holography, vectorial holography, full-color holography, and hybrid holography achieved in the metasurface platform are presented. Surface wave and metagrating holography that bridges the on-chip surface wave and free-space wave is also introduced. In the end, we envisage practical applications of high-fidelity 3D holographic display, high-secure encryption, and high capacity digital encoding and also indicate remaining challenges based on metasurface holography.

Male Idols and Branding in Chinese Luxury

Fashion, Cosmetics, and Popular Culture

By: Amanda Sikarskie,Lan Lan,Peng Liu

Challenging the Western view of idols as objects of worship, this book explores the role that male idols play in fashion and cosmetics brand marketing in mainland China, Hong Kong, and Macau; including the role of the female gaze. It examines idols in the more modern, pan-Asian sense of the word - as objects of social devotion, worshipped by the adoring masses and, in China and Korea, as objects of social and moral uplift. The contemporary idol wields great power - the power to influence taste, and to sell - and Male Idols and Branding in Chinese Luxury focuses on their ability to arouse the consumer appetite to buy. In China, popular culture idols play a vital role in the luxury fashion and cosmetics industries as brand ambassadors and this volume fills a critical gap in the English-language literature on this key element of the marketing industry, bringing together authors from the United States and China, and featuring case studies on idols Wang Yibo and Xiao Zhan. Through considering the subtleties of branding and marketing in China, Korea, and Japan, and the relationship of Chinese idols to fans and consumers in other Asian countries, the authors delve into brand-idol collaborations, particularly through lenses of brand image and toxic fan culture.

Meta-Learning

Theory, Algorithms and Applications

By: Lan Zou

Deep neural networks (DNNs) with their dense and complex algorithms provide real possibilities for Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). Meta-learning with DNNs brings AGI much closer: artificial agents solving intelligent tasks that human beings can achieve, even transcending what they can achieve. Meta-Learning: Theory, Algorithms and Applications shows how meta-learning in combination with DNNs advances towards AGI. Meta-Learning: Theory, Algorithms and Applications explains the fundamentals of meta-learning by providing answers to these questions: What is meta-learning?; why do we need meta-learning?; how are self-improved meta-learning mechanisms heading for AGI ?; how can we use meta-learning in our approach to specific scenarios? The book presents the background of seven mainstream paradigms: meta-learning, few-shot learning, deep learning, transfer learning, machine learning, probabilistic modeling, and Bayesian inference. It then explains important state-of-the-art mechanisms and their variants for meta-learning, including memory-augmented neural networks, meta-networks, convolutional Siamese neural networks, matching networks, prototypical networks, relation networks, LSTM meta-learning, model-agnostic meta-learning, and the Reptile algorithm. The book takes a deep dive into nearly 200 state-of-the-art meta-learning algorithms from top tier conferences (e.g. NeurIPS, ICML, CVPR, ACL, ICLR, KDD). It systematically investigates 39 categories of tasks from 11 real-world application fields: Computer Vision, Natural Language Processing, Meta-Reinforcement Learning, Healthcare, Finance and Economy, Construction Materials, Graphic Neural Networks, Program Synthesis, Smart City, Recommended Systems, and Climate Science. Each application field concludes by looking at future trends or by giving a summary of available resources. Meta-Learning: Theory, Algorithms and Applications is a great resource to understand the principles of meta-learning and to learn state-of-the-art meta-learning algorithms, giving the student, researcher and industry professional the ability to apply meta-learning for various novel applications. A comprehensive overview of state-of-the-art meta-learning techniques and methods associated with deep neural networks together with a broad range of application areas Coverage of nearly 200 state-of-the-art meta-learning algorithms, which are promoted by premier global AI conferences and journals, and 300 to 450 pieces of key research Systematic and detailed exploration of the most crucial state-of-the-art meta-learning algorithm mechanisms: model-based, metric-based, and optimization-based Provides solutions to the limitations of using deep learning and/or machine learning methods, particularly with small sample sizes and unlabeled data Gives an understanding of how meta-learning acts as a stepping stone to Artificial General Intelligence in 39 categories of tasks from 11 real-world application fields
