Reassessing the Role of Chain-of-Thought in Sentiment Analysis: Insights and Limitations

The relationship between language and thought remains an unresolved philosophical issue. Existing viewpoints can be broadly categorized into two schools: one asserting their independence, and another arguing that language constrains thought. In the context of large language models, this debate raises a crucial question: Does a language model's grasp of semantic meaning depend on thought processes? To explore this issue, we investigate whether reasoning techniques can facilitate semantic understanding. Specifically, we conceptualize thought as reasoning, employ chain-of-thought prompting as a reasoning technique, and examine its impact on sentiment analysis tasks. The experiments show that chain-of-thought has a minimal impact on sentiment analysis tasks. Both the standard and chain-of-thought prompts focus on aspect terms rather than sentiment in the generated content. Furthermore, counterfactual experiments reveal that the model's handling of sentiment tasks primarily depends on information from demonstrations. The experimental results support the first viewpoint.

Transformer for seismic image super-resolution

Seismic images obtained by stacking or migration are usually characterized as low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), low dominant frequency and sparse sampling both in depth (or time) and offset dimensions. For improving the resolution of seismic images, we proposed a deep learning-based method to achieve super-resolution (SR) in only one step, which means performing the denoising, interpolation and frequency extrapolation at the same time. We design a seismic image super-resolution Transformer (SIST) to extract and fuse local and global features, which focuses more on the energy and extension shapes of effective events (horizons, folds and faults, etc.) from noisy seismic images. We extract the edge images of input images by Canny algorithm as masks to generate the input data with double channels, which improves the amplitude preservation and reduces the interference of noises. The residual groups containing Swin-Transformer blocks and residual connections consist of the backbone of SIST, which extract the global features in a window with preset size and decrease computational cost meanwhile. The pixel shuffle layers are used to up-sample the output feature maps from the backbone to improve the edges, meanwhile up-sampling the input data through a skip connection to enhance the amplitude preservation of the final images especially for clarifying weak events. 3-dimensional synthetic seismic volumes with complex geological structures are created, and the amplitudes of half of the volumes are mixtures of strong and weak, then select 2-dimensional slices randomly to generate training datasets which fits field data well to perform supervised learning. Both numerical tests on synthetic and field data in different exploration regions demonstrate the feasibility of our method.

Storage of Gold Nanoclusters in Muscle Leads to their Biphasic in Vivo Clearance

Ultrasmall gold nanoclusters show great potential in biomedical applications. Long term biodistribution, retention, toxicity, and pharmacokinetics profiles are prerequisites in their potential clinical applications. Here we systematically investigated the biodistribution, clearance, and toxicity of one widely used Au NC species glutathione protected Au NCs or GSH Au NCs, over a relatively long period of 90 days in mice. We observed that most of the Au NCs were cleared at 30 days post injection with a major accumulation in liver and kidney. However, it is surprising that an abnormal increase of Au amount in the heart, liver, spleen, lung, and testis was observed at 60 and 90 days, indicating that the injected Au NCs formed a V shaped time dependent distribution profile in various organs. Further investigations revealed that Au NCs were steadily accumulating in the muscle in the first 30 days p.i., and the as stored Au NCs gradually released into blood in 30 to 90 days, which induced a redistribution and reaccumulation of Au NCs in all blood rich organs. Further hematology and biochemistry studies showed that the reaccumulation of Au NCs still caused some liver toxicity at 30 days p.i. The muscle storage and subsequent release may give rise to the potential accumulation and toxicity risk of functional nanomaterials over long periods of time.
