However, with growing awareness of animal welfare, the Hsinchu Yimin Temple now uses "rice pigs" for the offerings. In Hualien, the Yimin Festival has added a water lantern activity. These thoughtful changes combine tradition with innovation, creating a unique and modern Yimin Festival. -- Hosting provided by SoundOn 2024-08-0103 minTHD美籍华人英语访谈秀THD美籍华人英语访谈秀Yimin Wang: The Personality TrapYimin Wang is a personality development and leadership coach.  He is one of the highest certified people development coaches in China, the CEO of Sense Consulting and the Global Partner of Lumina Learning.  Today we explore the Lumina Spark personality assessment which measures your various personality traits and qualities.  We talk about the concept of paradox in personality, where individuals can exhibit seemingly contradictory traits in different situations.  We talk about the importance of empathy and its role in leadership, communication and relationships.

In Taiwan, the Ghost Festival, also known as Zhongyuan Festival, reflects a similar belief that spirits from the netherworld visit the human world. In Hakka culture, there's a special event called the Yimin Festival. On this day, people honor their ancestors who sacrificed their lives to protect their homeland. In addition to ceremonies to pay respect, they also have rituals like floating water lanterns. -- Hosting provided by SoundOn 2023-10-0103 minGradCastGradCast#PostDocsTalk 3 | Interested & Interesting with Dr. Yimin ChenFor our third #PostDocsTalk episode, hosts Brittany Melton and Meghan Voll interview Dr. Yimin Chen, a postdoctoral fellow at Royal Roads University in BC, formerly a PhD from Western’s FIMS department.

For privacy perspective, we conjecture that meta-learning plays an important role in future federated learning and look into federated meta-learning systems with differential privacy design for task privacy protection. For security perspective, we explore anomaly detection for machine learning models. Particularly, we explore poisoning attacks on machine learning models in which poisoning training samples are the anomaly. Inspired from that poisoning samples degrade trained models through overfitting, we exploit meta-training to counteract overfitting, thus enhancing model r...2021-04-1441 minGradCastGradCast320 | From the Past to the Present: Lessons from HistoryAre those who fail to study history doomed to repeat it?
