T-SQL基础教程:集合理论
集合理论是由数学家Georg Cantor创建的,这是一个基于关系模型的数学分支。Cantor的集定义如下: 集合,我们的意思是:任意集合体M是我们感知或想到的,能够确定的、互异对象m(称之为M的元素)的整体。 ──Joseph W. Dauben和Georg Cantor(普林斯顿大学出版
集合理论是由数学家Georg Cantor创建的,这是一个基于关系模型的数学分支。Cantor的集定义如下:
集合,我们的意思是:任意集合体M是我们感知或想到的,能够确定的、互异对象m(称之为M的元素)的整体。
──Joseph W. Dauben和Georg Cantor(普林斯顿大学出版社,1990年)
定义中的每个字都有着深刻和重要意义。集合定义和集合从属关系是无需证明的公理,宇宙中的每个元素要么是集合成员,要么不是集合成员。
让我们从Cantor定义中的每个词开始。一个“集合”应将其视为单个实体,你的焦点应该放在对象的集合上,而不是组成集合的单个对象上。然后,当你对数据库中的表(如雇员表)编写T-SQL查询时,你应该将雇员的集合看作是一个整体,而不是单个的雇员。这听起来可能并不重要并且很简单,但显然很多程序员很难采用这种思维方式。
“互异”这个词的含义是指集合中的每个元素必须是唯一的。跳跃到数据库中的表,你可以通过定义键约束来强制表中行的唯一性。没有键的话,你就不能唯一地标识行,因此表也就不能取得“集合”资格。相反,该表将是一个多重集合或是一个无序的单位组。
“我们感知或想到的”这句话意味着集合的定义是主观的。思考一下教室:一个人可以被认为是“人”的集合,也有可能被认为是“学生”或“教师”的集合。因此,在定义集合方面你具有很大的自由度。当你为数据库设计数据模型时,设计过程应仔细考虑应用程序的主观需求,从而为相关实体确定恰当的定义。
至于“对象”,,集合的定义不是限制为像汽车或雇员这样的物理对象,而是相关的抽象对象,如质数或线条。
Cantor的集合定义省略掉的内容很可能像所包含的内容一样重要。请注意,定义中没有提到集合元素间的任何顺序,集合元素的列出顺序并不重要。列出集合元素的正式标记符号是使用大括号:{a、b、c}。因为与顺序无关,你可以使用{b, a, c}或{b, c, a}表示同一集合。跳跃到属性(SQL中称之为列)集合,它们组成了关系(SQL中称之为表)的表头,元素应该是按名称标识──而不是按顺序位置标识。
同样,思考一下元组(SQL中称之为行)的设置,它们构成了关系的主体,元素由其键值进行标识,而不是按位置标识。许多程序员很难适应这种观念,对于查询表而言,行之间没有顺序。换句话说,对表的查询可以按任意顺序返回表中的行,除非你基于特定展现目的,明确要求数据以特定方式的进行排序。

In modern manufacturing, accurate defect detection is not only the key to ensuring product quality, but also the core of improving production efficiency. However, existing defect detection datasets often lack the accuracy and semantic richness required for practical applications, resulting in models unable to identify specific defect categories or locations. In order to solve this problem, a top research team composed of Hong Kong University of Science and Technology Guangzhou and Simou Technology innovatively developed the "DefectSpectrum" data set, which provides detailed and semantically rich large-scale annotation of industrial defects. As shown in Table 1, compared with other industrial data sets, the "DefectSpectrum" data set provides the most defect annotations (5438 defect samples) and the most detailed defect classification (125 defect categories

After rain in summer, you can often see a beautiful and magical special weather scene - rainbow. This is also a rare scene that can be encountered in photography, and it is very photogenic. There are several conditions for a rainbow to appear: first, there are enough water droplets in the air, and second, the sun shines at a low angle. Therefore, it is easiest to see a rainbow in the afternoon after the rain has cleared up. However, the formation of a rainbow is greatly affected by weather, light and other conditions, so it generally only lasts for a short period of time, and the best viewing and shooting time is even shorter. So when you encounter a rainbow, how can you properly record it and photograph it with quality? 1. Look for rainbows. In addition to the conditions mentioned above, rainbows usually appear in the direction of sunlight, that is, if the sun shines from west to east, rainbows are more likely to appear in the east.

The open LLM community is an era when a hundred flowers bloom and compete. You can see Llama-3-70B-Instruct, QWen2-72B-Instruct, Nemotron-4-340B-Instruct, Mixtral-8x22BInstruct-v0.1 and many other excellent performers. Model. However, compared with proprietary large models represented by GPT-4-Turbo, open models still have significant gaps in many fields. In addition to general models, some open models that specialize in key areas have been developed, such as DeepSeek-Coder-V2 for programming and mathematics, and InternVL for visual-language tasks.

Editor | ScienceAI Based on limited clinical data, hundreds of medical algorithms have been approved. Scientists are debating who should test the tools and how best to do so. Devin Singh witnessed a pediatric patient in the emergency room suffer cardiac arrest while waiting for treatment for a long time, which prompted him to explore the application of AI to shorten wait times. Using triage data from SickKids emergency rooms, Singh and colleagues built a series of AI models that provide potential diagnoses and recommend tests. One study showed that these models can speed up doctor visits by 22.3%, speeding up the processing of results by nearly 3 hours per patient requiring a medical test. However, the success of artificial intelligence algorithms in research only verifies this

For AI, Mathematical Olympiad is no longer a problem. On Thursday, Google DeepMind's artificial intelligence completed a feat: using AI to solve the real question of this year's International Mathematical Olympiad IMO, and it was just one step away from winning the gold medal. The IMO competition that just ended last week had six questions involving algebra, combinatorics, geometry and number theory. The hybrid AI system proposed by Google got four questions right and scored 28 points, reaching the silver medal level. Earlier this month, UCLA tenured professor Terence Tao had just promoted the AI Mathematical Olympiad (AIMO Progress Award) with a million-dollar prize. Unexpectedly, the level of AI problem solving had improved to this level before July. Do the questions simultaneously on IMO. The most difficult thing to do correctly is IMO, which has the longest history, the largest scale, and the most negative

Editor |KX To this day, the structural detail and precision determined by crystallography, from simple metals to large membrane proteins, are unmatched by any other method. However, the biggest challenge, the so-called phase problem, remains retrieving phase information from experimentally determined amplitudes. Researchers at the University of Copenhagen in Denmark have developed a deep learning method called PhAI to solve crystal phase problems. A deep learning neural network trained using millions of artificial crystal structures and their corresponding synthetic diffraction data can generate accurate electron density maps. The study shows that this deep learning-based ab initio structural solution method can solve the phase problem at a resolution of only 2 Angstroms, which is equivalent to only 10% to 20% of the data available at atomic resolution, while traditional ab initio Calculation

Editor |ScienceAI Question Answering (QA) data set plays a vital role in promoting natural language processing (NLP) research. High-quality QA data sets can not only be used to fine-tune models, but also effectively evaluate the capabilities of large language models (LLM), especially the ability to understand and reason about scientific knowledge. Although there are currently many scientific QA data sets covering medicine, chemistry, biology and other fields, these data sets still have some shortcomings. First, the data form is relatively simple, most of which are multiple-choice questions. They are easy to evaluate, but limit the model's answer selection range and cannot fully test the model's ability to answer scientific questions. In contrast, open-ended Q&A

Editor | Ziluo AI’s use in streamlining drug discovery is exploding. Screen billions of candidate molecules for those that may have properties needed to develop new drugs. There are so many variables to consider, from material prices to the risk of error, that weighing the costs of synthesizing the best candidate molecules is no easy task, even if scientists use AI. Here, MIT researchers developed SPARROW, a quantitative decision-making algorithm framework, to automatically identify the best molecular candidates, thereby minimizing synthesis costs while maximizing the likelihood that the candidates have the desired properties. The algorithm also determined the materials and experimental steps needed to synthesize these molecules. SPARROW takes into account the cost of synthesizing a batch of molecules at once, since multiple candidate molecules are often available
