## ABSTRACT
Accurate document layout analysis is a key requirement for highquality PDF document conversion. With the recent availability of public, large ground-truth datasets such as PubLayNet and DocBank, deep-learning models have proven to be very effective at layout detection and segmentation. While these datasets are of adequate size to train such models, they severely lack in layout variability since they are sourced from scientific article repositories such as PubMed and arXiv only. Consequently, the accuracy of the layout segmentation drops significantly when these models are applied on more challenging and diverse layouts. In this paper, we present DocLayNet , a new, publicly available, document-layout annotation dataset in COCO format. It contains 80863 manually annotated pages from diverse data sources to represent a wide variability in layouts. For each PDF page, the layout annotations provide labelled bounding-boxes with a choice of 11 distinct classes. DocLayNet also provides a subset of double- and triple-annotated pages to determine the inter-annotator agreement. In multiple experiments, we provide baseline accuracy scores (in mAP) for a set of popular object detection models. We also demonstrate that these models fall approximately 10% behind the inter-annotator agreement. Furthermore, we provide evidence that DocLayNet is of sufficient size. Lastly, we compare models trained on PubLayNet, DocBank and DocLayNet, showing that layout predictions of the DocLayNettrained models are more robust and thus the preferred choice for general-purpose document-layout analysis.

## 1 INTRODUCTION
Despite the substantial improvements achieved with machine-learning (ML) approaches and deep neural networks in recent years, document conversion remains a challenging problem, as demonstrated by the numerous public competitions held on this topic [1-4]. The challenge originates from the huge variability in PDF documents regarding layout, language and formats (scanned, programmatic or a combination of both). Engineering a single ML model that can be applied on all types of documents and provides high-quality layout segmentation remains to this day extremely challenging [5]. To highlight the variability in document layouts, we show a few example documents from the DocLayNet dataset in Figure 1.
Akeyproblem in the process of document conversion is to understand the structure of a single document page, i.e. which segments of text should be grouped together in a unit. To train models for this task, there are currently two large datasets available to the community, PubLayNet [6] and DocBank [7]. They were introduced in 2019 and 2020 respectively and significantly accelerated the implementation of layout detection and segmentation models due to their sizes of 300K and 500K ground-truth pages. These sizes were achieved by leveraging an automation approach. The benefit of automated ground-truth generation is obvious: one can generate large ground-truth datasets at virtually no cost. However, the automation introduces a constraint on the variability in the dataset, because corresponding structured source data must be available. PubLayNet and DocBank were both generated from scientific document repositories (PubMed and arXiv), which provide XML or L A T E X sources. Those scientific documents present a limited variability in their layouts, because they are typeset in uniform templates provided by the publishers. Obviously, documents such as technical manuals, annual company reports, legal text, government tenders, etc. have very different and partially unique layouts. As a consequence, the layout predictions obtained from models trained on PubLayNet or DocBank is very reasonable when applied on scientific documents. However, for more artistic or free-style layouts, we see sub-par prediction quality from these models, which we demonstrate in Section 5.
In this paper, we present the DocLayNet dataset. It provides pageby-page layout annotation ground-truth using bounding-boxes for 11 distinct class labels on 80863 unique document pages, of which a fraction carry double- or triple-annotations. DocLayNet is similar in spirit to PubLayNet and DocBank and will likewise be made available to the public 1 in order to stimulate the document-layout analysis community. It distinguishes itself in the following aspects:
- (1) Human Annotation : In contrast to PubLayNet and DocBank, we relied on human annotation instead of automation approaches to generate the data set.
- (2) Large Layout Variability : We include diverse and complex layouts from a large variety of public sources.
- (3) Detailed Label Set : We define 11 class labels to distinguish layout features in high detail. PubLayNet provides 5 labels; DocBank provides 13, although not a superset of ours.
- (4) Redundant Annotations : A fraction of the pages in the DocLayNet data set carry more than one human annotation.
1 <https://developer.ibm.com/exchanges/data/all/doclaynet>
This enables experimentation with annotation uncertainty and quality control analysis.
- (5) Pre-defined Train-, Test- &amp; Validation-set : Like DocBank, we provide fixed train-, test- &amp; validation-sets to ensure proportional representation of the class-labels. Further, we prevent leakage of unique layouts across sets, which has a large effect on model accuracy scores.
All aspects outlined above are detailed in Section 3. In Section 4, we will elaborate on how we designed and executed this large-scale human annotation campaign. We will also share key insights and lessons learned that might prove helpful for other parties planning to set up annotation campaigns.
In Section 5, we will present baseline accuracy numbers for a variety of object detection methods (Faster R-CNN, Mask R-CNN and YOLOv5) trained on DocLayNet. We further show how the model performance is impacted by varying the DocLayNet dataset size, reducing the label set and modifying the train/test-split. Last but not least, we compare the performance of models trained on PubLayNet, DocBank and DocLayNet and demonstrate that a model trained on DocLayNet provides overall more robust layout recovery.
## 2 RELATED WORK
While early approaches in document-layout analysis used rulebased algorithms and heuristics [8], the problem is lately addressed with deep learning methods. The most common approach is to leverage object detection models [9-15]. In the last decade, the accuracy and speed of these models has increased dramatically. Furthermore, most state-of-the-art object detection methods can be trained and applied with very little work, thanks to a standardisation effort of the ground-truth data format [16] and common deep-learning frameworks [17]. Reference data sets such as PubLayNet [6] and DocBank provide their data in the commonly accepted COCO format [16].
Lately, new types of ML models for document-layout analysis have emerged in the community [18-21]. These models do not approach the problem of layout analysis purely based on an image representation of the page, as computer vision methods do. Instead, they combine the text tokens and image representation of a page in order to obtain a segmentation. While the reported accuracies appear to be promising, a broadly accepted data format which links geometric and textual features has yet to establish.
## 3 THE DOCLAYNET DATASET
DocLayNet contains 80863 PDF pages. Among these, 7059 carry two instances of human annotations, and 1591 carry three. This amounts to 91104 total annotation instances. The annotations provide layout information in the shape of labeled, rectangular boundingboxes. We define 11 distinct labels for layout features, namely Caption , Footnote , Formula , List-item , Page-footer , Page-header , Picture , Section-header , Table , Text , and Title . Our reasoning for picking this particular label set is detailed in Section 4.
In addition to open intellectual property constraints for the source documents, we required that the documents in DocLayNet adhere to a few conditions. Firstly, we kept scanned documents
Figure 2: Distribution of DocLayNet pages across document categories.
<!-- image -->
to a minimum, since they introduce difficulties in annotation (see Section 4). As a second condition, we focussed on medium to large documents ( &gt; 10 pages) with technical content, dense in complex tables, figures, plots and captions. Such documents carry a lot of information value, but are often hard to analyse with high accuracy due to their challenging layouts. Counterexamples of documents not included in the dataset are receipts, invoices, hand-written documents or photographs showing 'text in the wild".
The pages in DocLayNet can be grouped into six distinct categories, namely Financial Reports , Manuals , Scientific Articles , Laws &amp; Regulations , Patents and Government Tenders . Each document category was sourced from various repositories. For example, Financial Reports contain both free-style format annual reports 2 which expose company-specific, artistic layouts as well as the more formal SEC filings. The two largest categories ( Financial Reports and Manuals ) contain a large amount of free-style layouts in order to obtain maximum variability. In the other four categories, we boosted the variability by mixing documents from independent providers, such as different government websites or publishers. In Figure 2, we show the document categories contained in DocLayNet with their respective sizes.
We did not control the document selection with regard to language. The vast majority of documents contained in DocLayNet (close to 95%) are published in English language. However, DocLayNet also contains a number of documents in other languages such as German (2.5%), French (1.0%) and Japanese (1.0%). While the document language has negligible impact on the performance of computer vision methods such as object detection and segmentation models, it might prove challenging for layout analysis methods which exploit textual features.
To ensure that future benchmarks in the document-layout analysis community can be easily compared, we have split up DocLayNet into pre-defined train-, test- and validation-sets. In this way, we can avoid spurious variations in the evaluation scores due to random splitting in train-, test- and validation-sets. We also ensured that less frequent labels are represented in train and test sets in equal proportions.
2 e.g. AAPL from <https://www.annualreports.com/>
Table 1 shows the overall frequency and distribution of the labels among the different sets. Importantly, we ensure that subsets are only split on full-document boundaries. This avoids that pages of the same document are spread over train, test and validation set, which can give an undesired evaluation advantage to models and lead to overestimation of their prediction accuracy. We will show the impact of this decision in Section 5.
In order to accommodate the different types of models currently in use by the community, we provide DocLayNet in an augmented COCO format [16]. This entails the standard COCO ground-truth file (in JSON format) with the associated page images (in PNG format, 1025 × 1025 pixels). Furthermore, custom fields have been added to each COCO record to specify document category, original document filename and page number. In addition, we also provide the original PDF pages, as well as sidecar files containing parsed PDF text and text-cell coordinates (in JSON). All additional files are linked to the primary page images by their matching filenames.
Despite being cost-intense and far less scalable than automation, human annotation has several benefits over automated groundtruth generation. The first and most obvious reason to leverage human annotations is the freedom to annotate any type of document without requiring a programmatic source. For most PDF documents, the original source document is not available. The latter is not a hard constraint with human annotation, but it is for automated methods. A second reason to use human annotations is that the latter usually provide a more natural interpretation of the page layout. The human-interpreted layout can significantly deviate from the programmatic layout used in typesetting. For example, 'invisible' tables might be used solely for aligning text paragraphs on columns. Such typesetting tricks might be interpreted by automated methods incorrectly as an actual table, while the human annotation will interpret it correctly as Text or other styles. The same applies to multi-line text elements, when authors decided to space them as 'invisible' list elements without bullet symbols. A third reason to gather ground-truth through human annotation is to estimate a 'natural' upper bound on the segmentation accuracy. As we will show in Section 4, certain documents featuring complex layouts can have different but equally acceptable layout interpretations. This natural upper bound for segmentation accuracy can be found by annotating the same pages multiple times by different people and evaluating the inter-annotator agreement. Such a baseline consistency evaluation is very useful to define expectations for a good target accuracy in trained deep neural network models and avoid overfitting (see Table 1). On the flip side, achieving high annotation consistency proved to be a key challenge in human annotation, as we outline in Section 4.
## 4 ANNOTATION CAMPAIGN
The annotation campaign was carried out in four phases. In phase one, we identified and prepared the data sources for annotation. In phase two, we determined the class labels and how annotations should be done on the documents in order to obtain maximum consistency. The latter was guided by a detailed requirement analysis and exhaustive experiments. In phase three, we trained the annotation staff and performed exams for quality assurance. In phase four,

we distributed the annotation workload and performed continuous quality controls. Phase one and two required a small team of experts only. For phases three and four, a group of 40 dedicated annotators were assembled and supervised.
Phase 1: Data selection and preparation. Our inclusion criteria for documents were described in Section 3. A large effort went into ensuring that all documents are free to use. The data sources include publication repositories such as arXiv 3 , government offices, company websites as well as data directory services for financial reports and patents. Scanned documents were excluded wherever possible because they can be rotated or skewed. This would not allow us to perform annotation with rectangular bounding-boxes and therefore complicate the annotation process.
Preparation work included uploading and parsing the sourced PDF documents in the Corpus Conversion Service (CCS) [22], a cloud-native platform which provides a visual annotation interface and allows for dataset inspection and analysis. The annotation interface of CCS is shown in Figure 3. The desired balance of pages between the different document categories was achieved by selective subsampling of pages with certain desired properties. For example, we made sure to include the title page of each document and bias the remaining page selection to those with figures or tables. The latter was achieved by leveraging pre-trained object detection models from PubLayNet, which helped us estimate how many figures and tables a given page contains.
Phase 2: Label selection and guideline. We reviewed the collected documents and identified the most common structural features they exhibit. This was achieved by identifying recurrent layout elements and lead us to the definition of 11 distinct class labels. These 11 class labels are Caption , Footnote , Formula , List-item , Pagefooter , Page-header , Picture , Section-header , Table , Text , and Title . Critical factors that were considered for the choice of these class labels were (1) the overall occurrence of the label, (2) the specificity of the label, (3) recognisability on a single page (i.e. no need for context from previous or next page) and (4) overall coverage of the page. Specificity ensures that the choice of label is not ambiguous, while coverage ensures that all meaningful items on a page can be annotated. We refrained from class labels that are very specific to a document category, such as Abstract in the Scientific Articles category. We also avoided class labels that are tightly linked to the semantics of the text. Labels such as Author and Affiliation , as seen in DocBank, are often only distinguishable by discriminating on

Compliant with guidelines
Plausible but invalid alternative the textual content of an element, which goes beyond visual layout recognition, in particular outside the Scientific Articles category.
At first sight, the task of visual document-layout interpretation appears intuitive enough to obtain plausible annotations in most cases. However, during early trial-runs in the core team, we observed many cases in which annotators use different annotation styles, especially for documents with challenging layouts. For example, if a figure is presented with subfigures, one annotator might draw a single figure bounding-box, while another might annotate each subfigure separately. The same applies for lists, where one might annotate all list items in one block or each list item separately. In essence, we observed that challenging layouts would be annotated in different but plausible ways. To illustrate this, we show in Figure 4 multiple examples of plausible but inconsistent annotations on the same pages.
Obviously, this inconsistency in annotations is not desirable for datasets which are intended to be used for model training. To minimise these inconsistencies, we created a detailed annotation guideline. While perfect consistency across 40 annotation staff members is clearly not possible to achieve, we saw a huge improvement in annotation consistency after the introduction of our annotation guideline. A few selected, non-trivial highlights of the guideline are:
- (1) Every list-item is an individual object instance with class label List-item . This definition is different from PubLayNet and DocBank, where all list-items are grouped together into one List object.
- (2) A List-item is a paragraph with hanging indentation. Singleline elements can qualify as List-item if the neighbour elements expose hanging indentation. Bullet or enumeration symbols are not a requirement.
- (3) For every Caption , there must be exactly one corresponding Picture or Table .
- (4) Connected sub-pictures are grouped together in one Picture object.
- (5) Formula numbers are included in a Formula object.
- (6) Emphasised text (e.g. in italic or bold) at the beginning of a paragraph is not considered a Section-header , unless it appears exclusively on its own line.
The complete annotation guideline is over 100 pages long and a detailed description is obviously out of scope for this paper. Nevertheless, it will be made publicly available alongside with DocLayNet for future reference.
Phase 3: Training. After a first trial with a small group of people, we realised that providing the annotation guideline and a set of random practice pages did not yield the desired quality level for layout annotation. Therefore we prepared a subset of pages with two different complexity levels, each with a practice and an exam part. 974 pages were reference-annotated by one proficient core team member. Annotation staff were then given the task to annotate the same subsets (blinded from the reference). By comparing the annotations of each staff member with the reference annotations, we could quantify how closely their annotations matched the reference. Only after passing two exam levels with high annotation quality, staff were admitted into the production phase. Practice iterations

were carried out over a timeframe of 12 weeks, after which 8 of the 40 initially allocated annotators did not pass the bar.
Phase 4: Production annotation. The previously selected 80K pages were annotated with the defined 11 class labels by 32 annotators. This production phase took around three months to complete. All annotations were created online through CCS, which visualises the programmatic PDF text-cells as an overlay on the page. The page annotation are obtained by drawing rectangular bounding-boxes, as shown in Figure 3. With regard to the annotation practices, we implemented a few constraints and capabilities on the tooling level. First, we only allow non-overlapping, vertically oriented, rectangular boxes. For the large majority of documents, this constraint was sufficient and it speeds up the annotation considerably in comparison with arbitrary segmentation shapes. Second, annotator staff were not able to see each other's annotations. This was enforced by design to avoid any bias in the annotation, which could skew the numbers of the inter-annotator agreement (see Table 1). We wanted

The MRCNN (Mask R-CNN) and FRCNN (Faster R-CNN) models with ResNet-50 or ResNet-101 backbone were trained based on the network architectures from the detectron2 model zoo (Mask R-CNN R50, R101-FPN 3x, Faster R-CNN R101-FPN 3x), with default configurations. The YOLO implementation utilized was YOLOv5x6 [13]. All models were initialised using pre-trained weights from the COCO 2017 dataset.

to avoid this at any cost in order to have clear, unbiased baseline numbers for human document-layout annotation. Third, we introduced the feature of snapping boxes around text segments to obtain a pixel-accurate annotation and again reduce time and effort. The CCS annotation tool automatically shrinks every user-drawn box to the minimum bounding-box around the enclosed text-cells for all purely text-based segments, which excludes only Table and Picture . For the latter, we instructed annotation staff to minimise inclusion of surrounding whitespace while including all graphical lines. A downside of snapping boxes to enclosed text cells is that some wrongly parsed PDF pages cannot be annotated correctly and need to be skipped. Fourth, we established a way to flag pages as rejected for cases where no valid annotation according to the label guidelines could be achieved. Example cases for this would be PDF pages that render incorrectly or contain layouts that are impossible to capture with non-overlapping rectangles. Such rejected pages are not contained in the final dataset. With all these measures in place, experienced annotation staff managed to annotate a single page in a typical timeframe of 20s to 60s, depending on its complexity.
## 5 EXPERIMENTS
The primary goal of DocLayNet is to obtain high-quality ML models capable of accurate document-layout analysis on a wide variety of challenging layouts. As discussed in Section 2, object detection models are currently the easiest to use, due to the standardisation of ground-truth data in COCO format [16] and the availability of general frameworks such as detectron2 [17]. Furthermore, baseline numbers in PubLayNet and DocBank were obtained using standard object detection models such as Mask R-CNN and Faster R-CNN. As such, we will relate to these object detection methods in this

paper and leave the detailed evaluation of more recent methods mentioned in Section 2 for future work.
In this section, we will present several aspects related to the performance of object detection models on DocLayNet. Similarly as in PubLayNet, we will evaluate the quality of their predictions using mean average precision (mAP) with 10 overlaps that range from 0.5 to 0.95 in steps of 0.05 (mAP@0.5-0.95). These scores are computed by leveraging the evaluation code provided by the COCO API [16].
## Baselines for Object Detection
In Table 2, we present baseline experiments (given in mAP) on Mask R-CNN [12], Faster R-CNN [11], and YOLOv5 [13]. Both training and evaluation were performed on RGB images with dimensions of 1025 × 1025 pixels. For training, we only used one annotation in case of redundantly annotated pages. As one can observe, the variation in mAP between the models is rather low, but overall between 6 and 10% lower than the mAP computed from the pairwise human annotations on triple-annotated pages. This gives a good indication that the DocLayNet dataset poses a worthwhile challenge for the research community to close the gap between human recognition and ML approaches. It is interesting to see that Mask R-CNN and Faster R-CNN produce very comparable mAP scores, indicating that pixel-based image segmentation derived from bounding-boxes does not help to obtain better predictions. On the other hand, the more recent Yolov5x model does very well and even out-performs humans on selected labels such as Text , Table and Picture . This is not entirely surprising, as Text , Table and Picture are abundant and the most visually distinctive in a document.

## Learning Curve
One of the fundamental questions related to any dataset is if it is 'large enough'. To answer this question for DocLayNet, we performed a data ablation study in which we evaluated a Mask R-CNN model trained on increasing fractions of the DocLayNet dataset. As can be seen in Figure 5, the mAP score rises sharply in the beginning and eventually levels out. To estimate the error-bar on the metrics, we ran the training five times on the entire data-set. This resulted in a 1% error-bar, depicted by the shaded area in Figure 5. In the inset of Figure 5, we show the exact same data-points, but with a logarithmic scale on the x-axis. As is expected, the mAP score increases linearly as a function of the data-size in the inset. The curve ultimately flattens out between the 80% and 100% mark, with the 80% mark falling within the error-bars of the 100% mark. This provides a good indication that the model would not improve significantly by yet increasing the data size. Rather, it would probably benefit more from improved data consistency (as discussed in Section 3), data augmentation methods [23], or the addition of more document categories and styles.
## Impact of Class Labels
The choice and number of labels can have a significant effect on the overall model performance. Since PubLayNet, DocBank and DocLayNet all have different label sets, it is of particular interest to understand and quantify this influence of the label set on the model performance. We investigate this by either down-mapping labels into more common ones (e.g. Caption → Text ) or excluding them from the annotations entirely. Furthermore, it must be stressed that all mappings and exclusions were performed on the data before model training. In Table 3, we present the mAP scores for a Mask R-CNN R50 network on different label sets. Where a label is down-mapped, we show its corresponding label, otherwise it was excluded. We present three different label sets, with 6, 5 and 4 different labels respectively. The set of 5 labels contains the same labels as PubLayNet. However, due to the different definition of

lists in PubLayNet (grouped list-items) versus DocLayNet (separate list-items), the label set of size 4 is the closest to PubLayNet, in the assumption that the List is down-mapped to Text in PubLayNet. The results in Table 3 show that the prediction accuracy on the remaining class labels does not change significantly when other classes are merged into them. The overall macro-average improves by around 5%, in particular when Page-footer and Page-header are excluded.
## Impact of Document Split in Train and Test Set
Many documents in DocLayNet have a unique styling. In order to avoid overfitting on a particular style, we have split the train-, test- and validation-sets of DocLayNet on document boundaries, i.e. every document contributes pages to only one set. To the best of our knowledge, this was not considered in PubLayNet or DocBank. To quantify how this affects model performance, we trained and evaluated a Mask R-CNN R50 model on a modified dataset version. Here, the train-, test- and validation-sets were obtained by a randomised draw over the individual pages. As can be seen in Table 4, the difference in model performance is surprisingly large: pagewise splitting gains ˜ 10% in mAP over the document-wise splitting. Thus, random page-wise splitting of DocLayNet can easily lead to accidental overestimation of model performance and should be avoided.
## Dataset Comparison
Throughout this paper, we claim that DocLayNet's wider variety of document layouts leads to more robust layout detection models. In Table 5, we provide evidence for that. We trained models on each of the available datasets (PubLayNet, DocBank and DocLayNet) and evaluated them on the test sets of the other datasets. Due to the different label sets and annotation styles, a direct comparison is not possible. Hence, we focussed on the common labels among the datasets. Between PubLayNet and DocLayNet, these are Picture ,

Section-header , Table and Text . Before training, we either mapped or excluded DocLayNet's other labels as specified in table 3, and also PubLayNet's List to Text . Note that the different clustering of lists (by list-element vs. whole list objects) naturally decreases the mAP score for Text .
For comparison of DocBank with DocLayNet, we trained only on Picture and Table clusters of each dataset. We had to exclude Text because successive paragraphs are often grouped together into a single object in DocBank. This paragraph grouping is incompatible with the individual paragraphs of DocLayNet. As can be seen in Table 5, DocLayNet trained models yield better performance compared to the previous datasets. It is noteworthy that the models trained on PubLayNet and DocBank perform very well on their own test set, but have a much lower performance on the foreign datasets. While this also applies to DocLayNet, the difference is far less pronounced. Thus we conclude that DocLayNet trained models are overall more robust and will produce better results for challenging, unseen layouts.
## Example Predictions
To conclude this section, we illustrate the quality of layout predictions one can expect from DocLayNet-trained models by providing a selection of examples without any further post-processing applied. Figure 6 shows selected layout predictions on pages from the test-set of DocLayNet. Results look decent in general across document categories, however one can also observe mistakes such as overlapping clusters of different classes, or entirely missing boxes due to low confidence.
## 6 CONCLUSION
In this paper, we presented the DocLayNet dataset. It provides the document conversion and layout analysis research community a new and challenging dataset to improve and fine-tune novel ML methods on. In contrast to many other datasets, DocLayNet was created by human annotation in order to obtain reliable layout ground-truth on a wide variety of publication- and typesettingstyles. Including a large proportion of documents outside the scientific publishing domain adds significant value in this respect.
From the dataset, we have derived on the one hand reference metrics for human performance on document-layout annotation (through double and triple annotations) and on the other hand evaluated the baseline performance of commonly used object detection methods. We also illustrated the impact of various dataset-related aspects on model performance through data-ablation experiments, both from a size and class-label perspective. Last but not least, we compared the accuracy of models trained on other public datasets and showed that DocLayNet trained models are more robust.
To date, there is still a significant gap between human and ML accuracy on the layout interpretation task, and we hope that this work will inspire the research community to close that gap.

Results are presented in Table. 1. It is evident that with OTSL, our model achieves the same TED score and slightly better mAP scores in comparison to HTML.

Performance results are presented in Table. 2. It is clearly evident that the model trained on OTSL outperforms HTML across the board, keeping high TEDs and mAP scores even on di ffi cult financial tables (FinTabNet) that contain sparse and large tables.
Additionally, the results show that OTSL has an advantage over HTML when applied on a bigger data set like PubTables-1M and achieves significantly improved scores. Finally, OTSL achieves faster inference due to fewer decoding steps which is a result of the reduced sequence representation.

Abstract. Extracting tables from documents is a crucial task in any document conversion pipeline. Recently, transformer-based models have demonstrated that table-structure can be recognized with impressive accuracy using Image-to-Markup-Sequence (Im2Seq) approaches. Taking only the image of a table, such models predict a sequence of tokens (e.g. in HTML, LaTeX) which represent the structure of the table. Since the token representation of the table structure has a significant impact on the accuracy and run-time performance of any Im2Seq model, we investigate in this paper how table-structure representation can be optimised. We propose a new, optimised table-structure language (OTSL) with a minimized vocabulary and specific rules. The benefits of OTSL are that it reduces the number of tokens to 5 (HTML needs 28+) and shortens the sequence length to half of HTML on average. Consequently, model accuracy improves significantly, inference time is halved compared to HTML-based models, and the predicted table structures are always syntactically correct. This in turn eliminates most post-processing needs. Popular table structure data-sets will be published in OTSL format to the community.

## 1 Introduction
Tables are ubiquitous in documents such as scientific papers, patents, reports, manuals, specification sheets or marketing material. They often encode highly valuable information and therefore need to be extracted with high accuracy. Unfortunately, tables appear in documents in various sizes, styling and structure, making it difficult to recover their correct structure with simple analytical methods. Therefore, accurate table extraction is achieved these days with machine-learning based methods.
In modern document understanding systems [1,15], table extraction is typically a two-step process. Firstly, every table on a page is located with a bounding box, and secondly, their logical row and column structure is recognized. As of
Fig. 1. Comparison between HTML and OTSL table structure representation: (A) table-example with complex row and column headers, including a 2D empty span, (B) minimal graphical representation of table structure using rectangular layout, (C) HTML representation, (D) OTSL representation. This example demonstrates many of the key-features of OTSL, namely its reduced vocabulary size (12 versus 5 in this case), its reduced sequence length (55 versus 30) and a enhanced internal structure (variable token sequence length per row in HTML versus a fixed length of rows in OTSL).

today, table detection in documents is a well understood problem, and the latest state-of-the-art (SOTA) object detection methods provide an accuracy comparable to human observers [7,8,10,14,23]. On the other hand, the problem of table structure recognition (TSR) is a lot more challenging and remains a very active area of research, in which many novel machine learning algorithms are being explored [3,4,5,9,11,12,13,14,17,18,21,22].
Recently emerging SOTA methods for table structure recognition employ transformer-based models, in which an image of the table is provided to the network in order to predict the structure of the table as a sequence of tokens. These image-to-sequence (Im2Seq) models are extremely powerful, since they allow for a purely data-driven solution. The tokens of the sequence typically belong to a markup language such as HTML, Latex or Markdown, which allow to describe table structure as rows, columns and spanning cells in various configurations. In Figure 1, we illustrate how HTML is used to represent the table-structure of a particular example table. Public table-structure data sets such as PubTabNet [22], and FinTabNet [21], which were created in a semi-automated way from paired PDF and HTML sources (e.g. PubMed Central), popularized primarily the use of HTML as ground-truth representation format for TSR.
While the majority of research in TSR is currently focused on the development and application of novel neural model architectures, the table structure representation language (e.g. HTML in PubTabNet and FinTabNet) is usually adopted as is for the sequence tokenization in Im2Seq models. In this paper, we aim for the opposite and investigate the impact of the table structure representation language with an otherwise unmodified Im2Seq transformer-based architecture. Since the current state-of-the-art Im2Seq model is TableFormer [9], we select this model to perform our experiments.
The main contribution of this paper is the introduction of a new optimised table structure language (OTSL), specifically designed to describe table-structure in an compact and structured way for Im2Seq models. OTSL has a number of key features, which make it very attractive to use in Im2Seq models. Specifically, compared to other languages such as HTML, OTSL has a minimized vocabulary which yields short sequence length, strong inherent structure (e.g. strict rectangular layout) and a strict syntax with rules that only look backwards. The latter allows for syntax validation during inference and ensures a syntactically correct table-structure. These OTSL features are illustrated in Figure 1, in comparison to HTML.
The paper is structured as follows. In section 2, we give an overview of the latest developments in table-structure reconstruction. In section 3 we review the current HTML table encoding (popularised by PubTabNet and FinTabNet) and discuss its flaws. Subsequently, we introduce OTSL in section 4, which includes the language definition, syntax rules and error-correction procedures. In section 5, we apply OTSL on the TableFormer architecture, compare it to TableFormer models trained on HTML and ultimately demonstrate the advantages of using OTSL. Finally, in section 6 we conclude our work and outline next potential steps.
## 2 Related Work
Approaches to formalize the logical structure and layout of tables in electronic documents date back more than two decades [16]. In the recent past, a wide variety of computer vision methods have been explored to tackle the problem of table structure recognition, i.e. the correct identification of columns, rows and spanning cells in a given table. Broadly speaking, the current deeplearning based approaches fall into three categories: object detection (OD) methods, Graph-Neural-Network (GNN) methods and Image-to-Markup-Sequence (Im2Seq) methods. Object-detection based methods [11,12,13,14,21] rely on tablestructure annotation using (overlapping) bounding boxes for training, and produce bounding-box predictions to define table cells, rows, and columns on a table image. Graph Neural Network (GNN) based methods [3,6,17,18], as the name suggests, represent tables as graph structures. The graph nodes represent the content of each table cell, an embedding vector from the table image, or geometric coordinates of the table cell. The edges of the graph define the relationship between the nodes, e.g. if they belong to the same column, row, or table cell.
Other work [20] aims at predicting a grid for each table and deciding which cells must be merged using an attention network. Im2Seq methods cast the problem as a sequence generation task [4,5,9,22], and therefore need an internal tablestructure representation language, which is often implemented with standard markup languages (e.g. HTML, LaTeX, Markdown). In theory, Im2Seq methods have a natural advantage over the OD and GNN methods by virtue of directly predicting the table-structure. As such, no post-processing or rules are needed in order to obtain the table-structure, which is necessary with OD and GNN approaches. In practice, this is not entirely true, because a predicted sequence of table-structure markup does not necessarily have to be syntactically correct. Hence, depending on the quality of the predicted sequence, some post-processing needs to be performed to ensure a syntactically valid (let alone correct) sequence.
Within the Im2Seq method, we find several popular models, namely the encoder-dual-decoder model (EDD) [22], TableFormer [9], Tabsplitter[2] and Ye et. al. [19]. EDD uses two consecutive long short-term memory (LSTM) decoders to predict a table in HTML representation. The tag decoder predicts a sequence of HTML tags. For each decoded table cell ( &lt;td&gt; ), the attention is passed to the cell decoder to predict the content with an embedded OCR approach. The latter makes it susceptible to transcription errors in the cell content of the table. TableFormer address this reliance on OCR and uses two transformer decoders for HTML structure and cell bounding box prediction in an end-to-end architecture. The predicted cell bounding box is then used to extract text tokens from an originating (digital) PDF page, circumventing any need for OCR. TabSplitter [2] proposes a compact double-matrix representation of table rows and columns to do error detection and error correction of HTML structure sequences based on predictions from [19]. This compact double-matrix representation can not be used directly by the Img2seq model training, so the model uses HTML as an intermediate form. Chi et. al. [4] introduce a data set and a baseline method using bidirectional LSTMs to predict LaTeX code. Kayal [5] introduces Gated ResNet transformers to predict LaTeX code, and a separate OCR module to extract content.
Im2Seq approaches have shown to be well-suited for the TSR task and allow a full end-to-end network design that can output the final table structure without pre- or post-processing logic. Furthermore, Im2Seq models have demonstrated to deliver state-of-the-art prediction accuracy [9]. This motivated the authors to investigate if the performance (both in accuracy and inference time) can be further improved by optimising the table structure representation language. We believe this is a necessary step before further improving neural network architectures for this task.
## 3 Problem Statement
All known Im2Seq based models for TSR fundamentally work in similar ways. Given an image of a table, the Im2Seq model predicts the structure of the table by generating a sequence of tokens. These tokens originate from a finite vocab-

ulary and can be interpreted as a table structure. For example, with the HTML tokens &lt;table&gt; , &lt;/table&gt; , &lt;tr&gt; , &lt;/tr&gt; , &lt;td&gt; and &lt;/td&gt; , one can construct simple table structures without any spanning cells. In reality though, one needs at least 28 HTML tokens to describe the most common complex tables observed in real-world documents [21,22], due to a variety of spanning cells definitions in the HTML token vocabulary.

Obviously, HTML and other general-purpose markup languages were not designed for Im2Seq models. As such, they have some serious drawbacks. First, the token vocabulary needs to be artificially large in order to describe all plausible tabular structures. Since most Im2Seq models use an autoregressive approach, they generate the sequence token by token. Therefore, to reduce inference time, a shorter sequence length is critical. Every table-cell is represented by at least two tokens ( &lt;td&gt; and &lt;/td&gt; ). Furthermore, when tokenizing the HTML structure, one needs to explicitly enumerate possible column-spans and row-spans as words. In practice, this ends up requiring 28 different HTML tokens (when including column- and row-spans up to 10 cells) just to describe every table in the PubTabNet dataset. Clearly, not every token is equally represented, as is depicted in Figure 2. This skewed distribution of tokens in combination with variable token row-length makes it challenging for models to learn the HTML structure.
Additionally, it would be desirable if the representation would easily allow an early detection of invalid sequences on-the-go, before the prediction of the entire table structure is completed. HTML is not well-suited for this purpose as the verification of incomplete sequences is non-trivial or even impossible.
In a valid HTML table, the token sequence must describe a 2D grid of table cells, serialised in row-major ordering, where each row and each column have the same length (while considering row- and column-spans). Furthermore, every opening tag in HTML needs to be matched by a closing tag in a correct hierarchical manner. Since the number of tokens for each table row and column can vary significantly, especially for large tables with many row- and column-spans, it is complex to verify the consistency of predicted structures during sequence
OTSL
thead&gt;
&lt;/thead&gt;
generation. Implicitly, this also means that Im2Seq models need to learn these complex syntax rules, simply to deliver valid output.
In practice, we observe two major issues with prediction quality when training Im2Seq models on HTML table structure generation from images. On the one hand, we find that on large tables, the visual attention of the model often starts to drift and is not accurately moving forward cell by cell anymore. This manifests itself in either in an increasing location drift for proposed table-cells in later rows on the same column or even complete loss of vertical alignment, as illustrated in Figure 5. Addressing this with post-processing is partially possible, but clearly undesired. On the other hand, we find many instances of predictions with structural inconsistencies or plain invalid HTML output, as shown in Figure 6, which are nearly impossible to properly correct. Both problems seriously impact the TSR model performance, since they reflect not only in the task of pure structure recognition but also in the equally crucial recognition or matching of table cell content.
## 4 Optimised Table Structure Language
To mitigate the issues with HTML in Im2Seq-based TSR models laid out before, we propose here our Optimised Table Structure Language (OTSL). OTSL is designed to express table structure with a minimized vocabulary and a simple set of rules, which are both significantly reduced compared to HTML. At the same time, OTSL enables easy error detection and correction during sequence generation. We further demonstrate how the compact structure representation and minimized sequence length improves prediction accuracy and inference time in the TableFormer architecture.
## 4.1 Language Definition
In Figure 3, we illustrate how the OTSL is defined. In essence, the OTSL defines only 5 tokens that directly describe a tabular structure based on an atomic 2D grid.
The OTSL vocabulary is comprised of the following tokens:
- -"C" cell a new table cell that either has or does not have cell content
- -"L" cell left-looking cell , merging with the left neighbor cell to create a span
- -"U" cell up-looking cell , merging with the upper neighbor cell to create a span
- -"X" cell cross cell , to merge with both left and upper neighbor cells
- -"NL" new-line , switch to the next row.
A notable attribute of OTSL is that it has the capability of achieving lossless conversion to HTML.

<!-- image -->
## 4.2 Language Syntax
The OTSL representation follows these syntax rules:
1. Left-looking cell rule : The left neighbour of an "L" cell must be either another "L" cell or a "C" cell.
2. Up-looking cell rule : The upper neighbour of a "U" cell must be either another "U" cell or a "C" cell.
3. Cross cell rule :
The left neighbour of an "X" cell must be either another "X" cell or a "U" cell, and the upper neighbour of an "X" cell must be either another "X" cell or an "L" cell.
4. First row rule : Only "L" cells and "C" cells are allowed in the first row.
5. First column rule : Only "U" cells and "C" cells are allowed in the first column.
6. Rectangular rule : The table representation is always rectangular - all rows must have an equal number of tokens, terminated with "NL" token.
The application of these rules gives OTSL a set of unique properties. First of all, the OTSL enforces a strictly rectangular structure representation, where every new-line token starts a new row. As a consequence, all rows and all columns have exactly the same number of tokens, irrespective of cell spans. Secondly, the OTSL representation is unambiguous: Every table structure is represented in one way. In this representation every table cell corresponds to a "C"-cell token, which in case of spans is always located in the top-left corner of the table cell definition. Third, OTSL syntax rules are only backward-looking. As a consequence, every predicted token can be validated straight during sequence generation by looking at the previously predicted sequence. As such, OTSL can guarantee that every predicted sequence is syntactically valid.
These characteristics can be easily learned by sequence generator networks, as we demonstrate further below. We find strong indications that this pattern
reduces significantly the column drift seen in the HTML based models (see Figure 5).
## 4.3 Error-detection and -mitigation
The design of OTSL allows to validate a table structure easily on an unfinished sequence. The detection of an invalid sequence token is a clear indication of a prediction mistake, however a valid sequence by itself does not guarantee prediction correctness. Different heuristics can be used to correct token errors in an invalid sequence and thus increase the chances for accurate predictions. Such heuristics can be applied either after the prediction of each token, or at the end on the entire predicted sequence. For example a simple heuristic which can correct the predicted OTSL sequence on-the-fly is to verify if the token with the highest prediction confidence invalidates the predicted sequence, and replace it by the token with the next highest confidence until OTSL rules are satisfied.
## 5 Experiments
To evaluate the impact of OTSL on prediction accuracy and inference times, we conducted a series of experiments based on the TableFormer model (Figure 4) with two objectives: Firstly we evaluate the prediction quality and performance of OTSL vs. HTML after performing Hyper Parameter Optimization (HPO) on the canonical PubTabNet data set. Secondly we pick the best hyper-parameters found in the first step and evaluate how OTSL impacts the performance of TableFormer after training on other publicly available data sets (FinTabNet, PubTables-1M [14]). The ground truth (GT) from all data sets has been converted into OTSL format for this purpose, and will be made publicly available.
Fig. 4. Architecture sketch of the TableFormer model, which is a representative for the Im2Seq approach.
<!-- image -->
We rely on standard metrics such as Tree Edit Distance score (TEDs) for table structure prediction, and Mean Average Precision (mAP) with 0.75 Intersection Over Union (IOU) threshold for the bounding-box predictions of table cells. The predicted OTSL structures were converted back to HTML format in
order to compute the TED score. Inference timing results for all experiments were obtained from the same machine on a single core with AMD EPYC 7763 CPU @2.45 GHz.
## 5.1 Hyper Parameter Optimization
We have chosen the PubTabNet data set to perform HPO, since it includes a highly diverse set of tables. Also we report TED scores separately for simple and complex tables (tables with cell spans). Results are presented in Table. 1. It is evident that with OTSL, our model achieves the same TED score and slightly better mAP scores in comparison to HTML. However OTSL yields a 2x speed up in the inference runtime over HTML.
Table 1. HPO performed in OTSL and HTML representation on the same transformer-based TableFormer [9] architecture, trained only on PubTabNet [22]. Effects of reducing the # of layers in encoder and decoder stages of the model show that smaller models trained on OTSL perform better, especially in recognizing complex table structures, and maintain a much higher mAP score than the HTML counterpart.

## 5.2 Quantitative Results
We picked the model parameter configuration that produced the best prediction quality (enc=6, dec=6, heads=8) with PubTabNet alone, then independently trained and evaluated it on three publicly available data sets: PubTabNet (395k samples), FinTabNet (113k samples) and PubTables-1M (about 1M samples). Performance results are presented in Table. 2. It is clearly evident that the model trained on OTSL outperforms HTML across the board, keeping high TEDs and mAP scores even on difficult financial tables (FinTabNet) that contain sparse and large tables.
Additionally, the results show that OTSL has an advantage over HTML when applied on a bigger data set like PubTables-1M and achieves significantly improved scores. Finally, OTSL achieves faster inference due to fewer decoding steps which is a result of the reduced sequence representation.

## 5.3 Qualitative Results
To illustrate the qualitative differences between OTSL and HTML, Figure 5 demonstrates less overlap and more accurate bounding boxes with OTSL. In Figure 6, OTSL proves to be more effective in handling tables with longer token sequences, resulting in even more precise structure prediction and bounding boxes.
Fig. 5. The OTSL model produces more accurate bounding boxes with less overlap (E) than the HTML model (D), when predicting the structure of a sparse table (A), at twice the inference speed because of shorter sequence length (B),(C). "PMC2807444_006_00.png" PubTabNet. μ

## 6 Conclusion
We demonstrated that representing tables in HTML for the task of table structure recognition with Im2Seq models is ill-suited and has serious limitations. Furthermore, we presented in this paper an Optimized Table Structure Language (OTSL) which, when compared to commonly used general purpose languages, has several key benefits.
First and foremost, given the same network configuration, inference time for a table-structure prediction is about 2 times faster compared to the conventional HTML approach. This is primarily owed to the shorter sequence length of the OTSL representation. Additional performance benefits can be obtained with HPO (hyper parameter optimization). As we demonstrate in our experiments, models trained on OTSL can be significantly smaller, e.g. by reducing the number of encoder and decoder layers, while preserving comparatively good prediction quality. This can further improve inference performance, yielding 5-6 times faster inference speed in OTSL with prediction quality comparable to models trained on HTML (see Table 1).
Secondly, OTSL has more inherent structure and a significantly restricted vocabulary size. This allows autoregressive models to perform better in the TED metric, but especially with regards to prediction accuracy of the table-cell bounding boxes (see Table 2). As shown in Figure 5, we observe that the OTSL drastically reduces the drift for table cell bounding boxes at high row count and in sparse tables. This leads to more accurate predictions and a significant reduction in post-processing complexity, which is an undesired necessity in HTML-based Im2Seq models. Significant novelty lies in OTSL syntactical rules, which are few, simple and always backwards looking. Each new token can be validated only by analyzing the sequence of previous tokens, without requiring the entire sequence to detect mistakes. This in return allows to perform structural error detection and correction on-the-fly during sequence generation.

size, while the locking section presses against the threads of the bolt and locks the nut firmly in position. Only a wrench
applied to the nut loosens it. The nut can be removed and pulleys, provided the inner race of the bearing is clamped to the supporting structure by the nut and bolt. Plates must be attached to the structure in a positive manner to eliminate rotation or misalignment when tightening the bolts or screws.
The two general types of self-locking nuts currently in use are the all-metal type and the fiber lock type. For the sake of simplicity, only three typical kinds of self-locking nuts are considered in this handbook: the Boots self-locking and the stainless steel self-locking nuts, representing the all-metal types; and the elastic stop nut, representing the fiber insert type.
## Boots Self-Locking Nut
The Boots self-locking nut is of one piece, all-metal construction designed to hold tight despite severe vibration. Note in Figure 7-26 that it has two sections and is essentially two nuts in one: a locking nut and a load-carrying nut. The two sections are connected with a spring, which is an integral part of the nut.
The spring keeps the locking and load-carrying sections such a distance apart that the two sets of threads are out of phase or spaced so that a bolt, which has been screwed through the load-carrying section, must push the locking section outward against the force of the spring to engage the threads of the locking section properly.
The spring, through the medium of the locking section, exerts a constant locking force on the bolt in the same direction as a force that would tighten the nut. In this nut, the load-carrying section has the thread strength of a standard nut of comparable size, while the locking section presses against the threads of the bolt and locks the nut firmly in position. Only a wrench applied to the nut loosens it. The nut can be removed and reused without impairing its efficiency.
Boots self-locking nuts are made with three different spring styles and in various shapes and sizes. The wing type that is

Flexloc nut
Nut case the most common ranges in size for No. 6 up to 1 / 4 inch, the Rol-top ranges from 1 / 4 inch to 1 / 6 inch, and the bellows type ranges in size from No. 8 up to 3 / 8 inch. Wing-type nuts are made of anodized aluminum alloy, cadmium-plated carbon steel, or stainless steel. The Rol-top nut is cadmium-plated steel, and the bellows type is made of aluminum alloy only.
.
## Stainless Steel Self-Locking Nut
The stainless steel self-locking nut may be spun on and off by hand as its locking action takes places only when the nut is seated against a solid surface and tightened. The nut consists of two parts: a case with a beveled locking shoulder and key and a thread insert with a locking shoulder and slotted keyway. Until the nut is tightened, it spins on the bolt easily, because the threaded insert is the proper size for the bolt. However, when the nut is seated against a solid surface and tightened, the locking shoulder of the insert is pulled downward and wedged against the locking shoulder of the case. This action compresses the threaded insert and causes it to clench the bolt tightly. The cross-sectional view in Figure 7-27 shows how the key of the case fits into the slotted keyway of the insert so that when the case is turned, the threaded insert is turned with it. Note that the slot is wider than the key. This permits the slot to be narrowed and the insert to be compressed when the nut is tightened.
## Elastic Stop Nut
The elastic stop nut is a standard nut with the height increased to accommodate a fiber locking collar. This

## Abstract
This technical report introduces Docling , an easy to use, self-contained, MITlicensed open-source package for PDF document conversion. It is powered by state-of-the-art specialized AI models for layout analysis (DocLayNet) and table structure recognition (TableFormer), and runs efficiently on commodity hardware in a small resource budget. The code interface allows for easy extensibility and addition of new features and models.
## 1 Introduction
Converting PDF documents back into a machine-processable format has been a major challenge for decades due to their huge variability in formats, weak standardization and printing-optimized characteristic, which discards most structural features and metadata. With the advent of LLMs and popular application patterns such as retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), leveraging the rich content embedded in PDFs has become ever more relevant. In the past decade, several powerful document understanding solutions have emerged on the market, most of which are commercial software, cloud offerings [3] and most recently, multi-modal vision-language models. As of today, only a handful of open-source tools cover PDF conversion, leaving a significant feature and quality gap to proprietary solutions.
With Docling , we open-source a very capable and efficient document conversion tool which builds on the powerful, specialized AI models and datasets for layout analysis and table structure recognition we developed and presented in the recent past [12, 13, 9]. Docling is designed as a simple, self-contained python library with permissive license, running entirely locally on commodity hardware. Its code architecture allows for easy extensibility and addition of new features and models.
Here is what Docling delivers today:
- Converts PDF documents to JSON or Markdown format, stable and lightning fast
- Understands detailed page layout, reading order, locates figures and recovers table structures
- Extracts metadata from the document, such as title, authors, references and language
- Optionally applies OCR, e.g. for scanned PDFs
- Can be configured to be optimal for batch-mode (i.e high throughput, low time-to-solution) or interactive mode (compromise on efficiency, low time-to-solution)
- Can leverage different accelerators (GPU, MPS, etc).
## 2 Getting Started
To use Docling, you can simply install the docling package from PyPI. Documentation and examples are available in our GitHub repository at github.com/DS4SD/docling. All required model assets 1 are downloaded to a local huggingface datasets cache on first use, unless you choose to pre-install the model assets in advance.
Docling provides an easy code interface to convert PDF documents from file system, URLs or binary streams, and retrieve the output in either JSON or Markdown format. For convenience, separate methods are offered to convert single documents or batches of documents. A basic usage example is illustrated below. Further examples are available in the Doclign code repository.
from docling.document_converter import DocumentConverter
```text
source = "https://arxiv.org/pdf/2206.01062" # PDF path or URL converter = DocumentConverter() result = converter.convert_single(source) print(result.render_as_markdown()) # output: "## DocLayNet: A Large Human -Annotated Dataset for Document -Layout Analysis [...]"
```
Optionally, you can configure custom pipeline features and runtime options, such as turning on or off features (e.g. OCR, table structure recognition), enforcing limits on the input document size, and defining the budget of CPU threads. Advanced usage examples and options are documented in the README file. Docling also provides a Dockerfile to demonstrate how to install and run it inside a container.
## 3 Processing pipeline
Docling implements a linear pipeline of operations, which execute sequentially on each given document (see Fig. 1). Each document is first parsed by a PDF backend, which retrieves the programmatic text tokens, consisting of string content and its coordinates on the page, and also renders a bitmap image of each page to support downstream operations. Then, the standard model pipeline applies a sequence of AI models independently on every page in the document to extract features and content, such as layout and table structures. Finally, the results from all pages are aggregated and passed through a post-processing stage, which augments metadata, detects the document language, infers reading-order and eventually assembles a typed document object which can be serialized to JSON or Markdown.
## 3.1 PDF backends
Two basic requirements to process PDF documents in our pipeline are a) to retrieve all text content and their geometric coordinates on each page and b) to render the visual representation of each page as it would appear in a PDF viewer. Both these requirements are encapsulated in Docling's PDF backend interface. While there are several open-source PDF parsing libraries available for python, we faced major obstacles with all of them for different reasons, among which were restrictive

<!-- image -->
licensing (e.g. pymupdf [7]), poor speed or unrecoverable quality issues, such as merged text cells across far-apart text tokens or table columns (pypdfium, PyPDF) [15, 14].
We therefore decided to provide multiple backend choices, and additionally open-source a custombuilt PDF parser, which is based on the low-level qpdf [4] library. It is made available in a separate package named docling-parse and powers the default PDF backend in Docling. As an alternative, we provide a PDF backend relying on pypdfium , which may be a safe backup choice in certain cases, e.g. if issues are seen with particular font encodings.
## 3.2 AI models
As part of Docling, we initially release two highly capable AI models to the open-source community, which have been developed and published recently by our team. The first model is a layout analysis model, an accurate object-detector for page elements [13]. The second model is TableFormer [12, 9], a state-of-the-art table structure recognition model. We provide the pre-trained weights (hosted on huggingface) and a separate package for the inference code as docling-ibm-models . Both models are also powering the open-access deepsearch-experience, our cloud-native service for knowledge exploration tasks.
## Layout Analysis Model
Our layout analysis model is an object-detector which predicts the bounding-boxes and classes of various elements on the image of a given page. Its architecture is derived from RT-DETR [16] and re-trained on DocLayNet [13], our popular human-annotated dataset for document-layout analysis, among other proprietary datasets. For inference, our implementation relies on the onnxruntime [5].
The Docling pipeline feeds page images at 72 dpi resolution, which can be processed on a single CPU with sub-second latency. All predicted bounding-box proposals for document elements are post-processed to remove overlapping proposals based on confidence and size, and then intersected with the text tokens in the PDF to group them into meaningful and complete units such as paragraphs, section titles, list items, captions, figures or tables.
## Table Structure Recognition
The TableFormer model [12], first published in 2022 and since refined with a custom structure token language [9], is a vision-transformer model for table structure recovery. It can predict the logical row and column structure of a given table based on an input image, and determine which table cells belong to column headers, row headers or the table body. Compared to earlier approaches, TableFormer handles many characteristics of tables, such as partial or no borderlines, empty cells, rows or columns, cell spans and hierarchy both on column-heading or row-heading level, tables with inconsistent indentation or alignment and other complexities. For inference, our implementation relies on PyTorch [2].
The Docling pipeline feeds all table objects detected in the layout analysis to the TableFormer model, by providing an image-crop of the table and the included text cells. TableFormer structure predictions are matched back to the PDF cells in post-processing to avoid expensive re-transcription text in the table image. Typical tables require between 2 and 6 seconds to be processed on a standard CPU, strongly depending on the amount of included table cells.
## OCR
Docling provides optional support for OCR, for example to cover scanned PDFs or content in bitmaps images embedded on a page. In our initial release, we rely on EasyOCR [1], a popular thirdparty OCR library with support for many languages. Docling, by default, feeds a high-resolution page image (216 dpi) to the OCR engine, to allow capturing small print detail in decent quality. While EasyOCR delivers reasonable transcription quality, we observe that it runs fairly slow on CPU (upwards of 30 seconds per page).
We are actively seeking collaboration from the open-source community to extend Docling with additional OCR backends and speed improvements.
## 3.3 Assembly
In the final pipeline stage, Docling assembles all prediction results produced on each page into a well-defined datatype that encapsulates a converted document, as defined in the auxiliary package docling-core . The generated document object is passed through a post-processing model which leverages several algorithms to augment features, such as detection of the document language, correcting the reading order, matching figures with captions and labelling metadata such as title, authors and references. The final output can then be serialized to JSON or transformed into a Markdown representation at the users request.
## 3.4 Extensibility
Docling provides a straight-forward interface to extend its capabilities, namely the model pipeline. A model pipeline constitutes the central part in the processing, following initial document parsing and preceding output assembly, and can be fully customized by sub-classing from an abstract baseclass ( BaseModelPipeline ) or cloning the default model pipeline. This effectively allows to fully customize the chain of models, add or replace models, and introduce additional pipeline configuration parameters. To use a custom model pipeline, the custom pipeline class to instantiate can be provided as an argument to the main document conversion methods. We invite everyone in the community to propose additional or alternative models and improvements.
Implementations of model classes must satisfy the python Callable interface. The \_\_call\_\_ method must accept an iterator over page objects, and produce another iterator over the page objects which were augmented with the additional features predicted by the model, by extending the provided PagePredictions data model accordingly.
## 4 Performance
In this section, we establish some reference numbers for the processing speed of Docling and the resource budget it requires. All tests in this section are run with default options on our standard test set distributed with Docling, which consists of three papers from arXiv and two IBM Redbooks, with a total of 225 pages. Measurements were taken using both available PDF backends on two different hardware systems: one MacBook Pro M3 Max, and one bare-metal server running Ubuntu 20.04 LTS on an Intel Xeon E5-2690 CPU. For reproducibility, we fixed the thread budget (through setting OMP NUM THREADS environment variable ) once to 4 (Docling default) and once to 16 (equal to full core count on the test hardware). All results are shown in Table 1.
If you need to run Docling in very low-resource environments, please consider configuring the pypdfium backend. While it is faster and more memory efficient than the default docling-parse backend, it will come at the expense of worse quality results, especially in table structure recovery.
Establishing GPU acceleration support for the AI models is currently work-in-progress and largely untested, but may work implicitly when CUDA is available and discovered by the onnxruntime and
torch runtimes backing the Docling pipeline. We will deliver updates on this topic at in a future version of this report.
Table 1: Runtime characteristics of Docling with the standard model pipeline and settings, on our test dataset of 225 pages, on two different systems. OCR is disabled. We show the time-to-solution (TTS), computed throughput in pages per second, and the peak memory used (resident set size) for both the Docling-native PDF backend and for the pypdfium backend, using 4 and 16 threads.
| CPU | Thread budget | native backend | native backend | native backend | pypdfium backend | pypdfium backend | pypdfium backend |
| ----------------------- | ------------- | -------------- | -------------- | -------------- | ---------------- | ---------------- | ---------------- |
| | | TTS | Pages/s | Mem | TTS | Pages/s | Mem |
| Apple M3 Max (16 cores) | 4 16 | 177 s 167 s | 1.27 1.34 | 6.20 GB | 103 s 92 s | 2.18 2.45 | 2.56 GB |
| Intel(R) Xeon E5-2690 | 4 16 | 375 s 244 s | 0.60 0.92 | 6.16 GB | 239 s 143 s | 0.94 1.57 | 2.42 GB |
## 5 Applications
Thanks to the high-quality, richly structured document conversion achieved by Docling, its output qualifies for numerous downstream applications. For example, Docling can provide a base for detailed enterprise document search, passage retrieval or classification use-cases, or support knowledge extraction pipelines, allowing specific treatment of different structures in the document, such as tables, figures, section structure or references. For popular generative AI application patterns, such as retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), we provide quackling , an open-source package which capitalizes on Docling's feature-rich document output to enable document-native optimized vector embedding and chunking. It plugs in seamlessly with LLM frameworks such as LlamaIndex [8]. Since Docling is fast, stable and cheap to run, it also makes for an excellent choice to build document-derived datasets. With its powerful table structure recognition, it provides significant benefit to automated knowledge-base construction [11, 10]. Docling is also integrated within the open IBM data prep kit [6], which implements scalable data transforms to build large-scale multi-modal training datasets.
## 6 Future work and contributions
Docling is designed to allow easy extension of the model library and pipelines. In the future, we plan to extend Docling with several more models, such as a figure-classifier model, an equationrecognition model, a code-recognition model and more. This will help improve the quality of conversion for specific types of content, as well as augment extracted document metadata with additional information. Further investment into testing and optimizing GPU acceleration as well as improving the Docling-native PDF backend are on our roadmap, too.
We encourage everyone to propose or implement additional features and models, and will gladly take your inputs and contributions under review . The codebase of Docling is open for use and contribution, under the MIT license agreement and in alignment with our contributing guidelines included in the Docling repository. If you use Docling in your projects, please consider citing this technical report.

1 INTRODUCTION
Despite the substantial improvements achieved with machine-learning (ML) approaches and deep neural networks in recent years, document conversion remains a challenging problem, as demonstrated by the numerous public competitions held on this topic [1-4]. The challenge originates from the huge variability in PDF documents regarding layout, language and formats (scanned, programmatic or a combination of both). Engineering a single ML model that can be applied on all types of documents and provides high-quality layout segmentation remains to this day extremely challenging [5]. To highlight the variability in document layouts, we show a few example documents from the DocLayNet dataset in Figure 1. Figure 2: Title page of the DocLayNet paper (arxiv.org/pdf/2206.01062) - left PDF, right rendered Markdown. If recognized, metadata such as authors are appearing first under the title. Text content inside figures is currently dropped, the caption is retained and linked to the figure in the JSON representation (not shown).

FRCNN (Faster R-CNN) models with ResNet-50 or ResNet-101 backbone were trained based on the network architectures from the detectron2 model 200 (Mask R-CNN R50, R101-FPN 3x, Faster R-CNN R101-FPN 3x), with default configurations. The YOLO
implementation utiized was YOLOv5x6 (13). All models were initialised using pre-trained weights from the COCO 2017 dataset.

to avoid this at any cost in order to have clear, unbiased baseline numbers for human document-layout annotation. Third, we introduced the feature of snapping boxes around text segments to obtain a pixel-accurate annotation and again reduce time and effort. The CCS
annotation tool automatically shrinks overy user-drawn box to the minimum bounding-box around the enclosed text-cells for all purely text- based segments, which excludes only Table and Picture. For the latter, we instructed annotation staff to minimise inclusion of surrounding
whitespace while including all graphical lines. A downside of snapping boxes to enclosed text cells is that some wrongly parsed PDF
pages cannot be annotated correctly and need to be skipped. Fourth, we established a way to flag pages as rejected for cases where no valid annotation according to the label guidelines could be achieved. Example cases for this would be PDF pages that render incorrectly
or contain layouts that are impossible to capture with non-overlapping rectangles. Such rejected pages are not contained in the final dataset. With all these measures in place, experienced annotation statt managed to annotate a single page in a typical timeframe of 20s
to 60s, depending on its complexity.
5 EXPERIMENTS
The primary goal of DocLayNet is to obtain high-quality ML models capable of accurate document-layout analysis on a wide variety of challenging layouts. As discussed in Section 2, object detection models are currently the easiest to use, due to the standardisation of
ground-truth data in COCO format (16) and the availabilty of general frameworks such as detectron2 (17]. Furthermore, baseline numbers in PubLayNet and DocBank were obtained using standard object detection models such as Mask R-CNN and Faster R-CNN. As such, we

The YOLO implementation utilized was YOLOv5x6 [13]. All models were initialised using pre-trained weights from the COCO 2017 dataset.

to avoid this at any cost in order to have clear, unbiased baseline numbers for human document-layout annotation. Third, we introduced the feature of snapping boxes around text segments to obtain a pixel-accurate annotation and again reduce time and effort. The CCS annotation tool automatically shrinks every user-drawn box to the minimum bounding-box around the enclosed text-cells for all purely text-based segments, which excludes only Table and Picture . For the latter, we instructed annotation staff to minimise inclusion of surrounding whitespace while including all graphical lines. A downside of snapping boxes to enclosed text cells is that some wrongly parsed PDF pages cannot be annotated correctly and need to be skipped. Fourth, we established a way to flag pages as rejected for cases where no valid annotation according to the label guidelines could be achieved. Example cases for this would be PDF pages that render incorrectly or contain layouts that are impossible to capture with non-overlapping rectangles. Such rejected pages are not contained in the final dataset. With all these measures in place, experienced annotation staff managed to annotate a single page in a typical timeframe of 20s to 60s, depending on its complexity.
## 5 EXPERIMENTS
The primary goal of DocLayNet is to obtain high-quality ML models capable of accurate document-layout analysis on a wide variety of challenging layouts. As discussed in Section 2, object detection models are currently the easiest to use, due to the standardisation of ground-truth data in COCO format [16] and the availability of general frameworks such as detectron2 [17]. Furthermore, baseline numbers in PubLayNet and DocBank were obtained using standard object detection models such as Mask R-CNN and Faster R-CNN. As such, we will relate to these object detection methods in this

paper and leave the detailed evaluation of more recent methods mentioned in Section 2 for future work.
In this section, we will present several aspects related to the performance of object detection models on DocLayNet. Similarly as in PubLayNet, we will evaluate the quality of their predictions using mean average precision (mAP) with 10 overlaps that range from 0.5 to 0.95 in steps of 0.05 (mAP@0.5-0.95). These scores are computed by leveraging the evaluation code provided by the COCO API [16].
## Baselines for Object Detection
In Table 2, we present baseline experiments (given in mAP) on Mask R-CNN [12], Faster R-CNN [11], and YOLOv5 [13]. Both training and evaluation were performed on RGB images with dimensions of 1025 × 1025 pixels. For training, we only used one annotation in case of redundantly annotated pages. As one can observe, the variation in mAP between the models is rather low, but overall between 6 and 10% lower than the mAP computed from the pairwise human annotations on triple-annotated pages. This gives a good indication that the DocLayNet dataset poses a worthwhile challenge for the research community to close the gap between human recognition and ML approaches. It is interesting to see that Mask R-CNN and Faster R-CNN produce very comparable mAP scores, indicating that pixel-based image segmentation derived from bounding-boxes does not help to obtain better predictions. On the other hand, the more recent Yolov5x model does very well and even out-performs humans on selected labels such as Text , Table and Picture . This is not entirely surprising, as Text , Table and Picture are abundant and the most visually distinctive in a document.

We now provide detailed descriptions for each
## 3.1 Layout Detection Models
In LayoutParser, a layout model takes a document image as an input and generates a list of rectangular boxes for the target content regions. Different from traditional methods, it relies on deep convolutional neural networks rather than manually curated rules to identify content regions. It is formulated as an object detection problem and state-of-the-art models like Faster R-CNN 28] and Mask R-CNN 12] are used. This yields prediction results of high accuracy and makes it possible to build a concise, generalized interface for layout detection. LayoutParser, built upon Detectron2 35], provides a minimal API that can perform layout detection with only four lines of code in Python:
```text
import layoutparser as lp 2 image = cv2. imread("image_file") # load images 3 model = 1p. Detectron2LayoutModel ( "1p://PubLayllet/faster_rcnn_R_50_FPN_3x/config") · layout = model. detect (image)
```
LayoutParser provides a wealth of pre-trained model weights using various datasets covering different languages, time periods, and document types. Due to domain shift [7], the prediction performance can notably drop when models are applied to target samples that are significantly different from the training dataset. As document structures and layouts vary greatly in different domains, it is important to select models trained on a dataset similar to the test samples. A semantic syntax is used for initializing the model weights in LayoutParser, using both the dataset name and model name 1p://&lt;dataset-name&gt;/&lt;model-architecture-name&gt;.

## Abstract
Purpose - This research aims to investigate the efficacy of family involvement in shift work training targeting both physiological and social coping strategies.
Design/methodology/approach - The study utilized repeated surveys of work-family conflict (WFC) and family-work conflict (FWC) in a naturally occurring field experiment. Three small process manufacturing sites introduced training for shift workers, with or without family involvement, and with or without training on managing relational aspects of shift-work.
Findings - The inclusion of social coping strategies combined with family involvement significantly reduced work-family conflict. Open response categories on the survey suggest that these reductions were due to the facilitation of a joint problem solving approach by family members. In contrast, employee focused training on physiological coping alone appears to increase family conflicts.
Research limitations/implications - As a field study, this paper cannot control for the particularities of family situations. It should also be noted that the participants were all male, and results may have differed for female shift workers given differing family and work expectations.
Practical implications - For employers and OSH officers, this research suggests that broader spectrum training may assist shift workers in managing the requirements and impact of unsociable hours of work. For the shift worker, the research reinforces the importance of family support and family involvement in moderating shift work's potentially negative effects.
Originality/value - This is the first study to assess the impact of family involvement in training and development-based interventions. This paper provides a unique perspective on shift work interventions by documenting both content and process effects for shift work support.

In discussing work-life balance, the focus is often on the amount of time spent at work, and flexibility of work time and place to accommodate family and other requirements. In both research and the popular literature, however, the focus of this balancing act is on a traditional 9-5 view of employment that spills over - in hours and energy - to a fairly traditional view of non-work life. The issue of balance may become more difficult, however, when the 'work' in work-life balance is a series of rotating or shifts

that result in dynamic discontinuities between workers and the rest of their life. For the shift worker, the particular issues of work-life balance, stress and coping, are both more complex and more compelling.
The term 'shift work' is used to refer to a way of organising the daily working hours in which different persons or teams work in succession to cover more than the traditional eight hours per day, up to and including the whole 24 hours (Costa, 2003). Consequently, the term 'shift work' does not include the typical 8am-5pm Monday to Friday working arrangements (Grosswald, 2002; Presser, 2003). There are literally dozens of ways to structure shifts. In general they can focus on including or excluding night work; they can include or exclude weekend work or parts thereof; they can vary concerning flexibility of working times (e.g. rotating, permanent, split shifts) or the regularity or irregularity of the shift cycle (Costa, 2003).
Increasingly non-standard working hours such as shift work, weekend work and split shifts are becoming the norm in industrialised, Western societies. According to a survey on working conditions carried out in the European Union's 15 member countries (Boisard et al. , 2002), only 24 per cent of the working population are now engaged in so-called standard day work, that is between 7:30-8:00 am and 5:00-6:00 pm from Monday to Friday, and 18.8 per cent of the European work force is engaged in shift work that includes night work. As early as 1991, Presser (1995, cited in Grosswald, 2002) reported that approximately 45 per cent of Americans are employed under some kind of shift work conditions.
The reasons for this increased shift work are two-fold and closely linked: there is the increased need for temporal flexibility of the organisation, as well as the economic necessities and choices for the individual. Temporal flexibility is seen as one of the milestones of labour flexibility on which most organisations are currently focused (Costa, 2003). In this context, shift work is a widely used tool enabling the organisation to be active around the clock in response to increasingly flexible market demands. This is progressively more the case not only in necessary social services (like hospitals, the police force, transport and electricity) or in highly technological industries (like chemical and steel industry, power plants or mining), but also to support productive and economic choices (for example bank branches opening late and on weekends, and extended hours for restaurants, news and entertainment industries).
Closely linked to this organisational focus are the needs of the individual. On a rather worried note Presser's (2003) findings suggest that, at least in the SA, a large proportion of shift workers engage in this type of work because they could not get other jobs and their choices were limited. European research (Presser, 1987) has established similar findings, in that the ability to hold multiple jobs is one reason people engage in shift work. According to Finn (1981) 23 per cent of night shift workers and 19 per cent of evening shift workers had a second job, in comparison to 11 per cent of 'regular' day workers. Another more positive angle to shift work is suggested by Coleman's (1989) findings that some employees appreciate the possibility for shift work, as it allows them to take time off mid-week and pursue leisure activities without dealing with the large weekend crowds.
In spite of shift work' s advantages and increasingly 'normality', temporal flexibility can still result in difficulties for the individual. These difficulties can often be health related (Costa, 1996; Finn, 1981; Owen, 1985), but also extend to individuals' participation in social events. Normal social patterns still tend to operate around the
Shift work interventions
traditional workday cycle, which effectively excludes shift workers (Henderson and Burt, 1998) and leads to difficulties in structuring family and social interactions (Knutson et al. , 1986; Simon, 1987).
Night work causes a mismatch between the light/dark sleep/wake cycles and consequently disturbs the normal circadian rhythms of psycho-physiological functions (Folkard et al. , 1985; Minors and Waterhouse, 1986). These efforts tend to result in the so-called shift-lag syndrome (Costa, 2003), which is characterised by feelings of fatigue, sleepiness, disorientation, digestive troubles, irritability, poorer mental agility and reduced performance efficiency. Although shift-lag symptoms affect the individual directly in the first instance, they also have a wider impact on the family and social environment of the individual as well as on the organisation employing shift workers.
People engaged in shift work are frequently 'out of sync' with society around them and can experience social marginalisation (Colligan and Rosa, 1990). This is especially true if they live in a family with school-aged children, as the social activities tend to be organised around the day-oriented rhythm of the general and school population. Time pressure can become a constant problem when shift workers attempt to organise family time tables with personal duties (e.g. school and house work) and the availability of community services (e.g. shop hours, transport, office hours). These time pressures can have negative influences on children's education, marital and parental roles, and relationships (Costa, 2003; Loudon and Bohle, 1997). Additionally, constraints on effective participation in social and domestic life can produce a sense of social alienation and represent a major source of role conflict for shift workers (Bohle and Quinlan, 2000).
The main role conflict a shift worker will experience is that between the roles of work and those of the family. While this conflict is not limited to shift workers, it has repeatedly and clearly been linked to time issues - an aspect that characterises shift work like no other work environment (Keith and Schafer, 1980; Pleck et al. , 1980). The conflict between work and family roles has been conceptualised as consisting of two distinct but reciprocally linked pathways. On one hand, structural or developmental aspects of the family are increasingly recognised as having an impact on work behaviour. The inter-role conflict in which the demands of the family and the time devoted to it interfere with fulfilment of work-related responsibilities is termed family-work conflict or FWC (Frone et al. , 1992; Netemeyer et al. , 1996; Zedeck, 1992).
On the other hand, participation in the work role may make full and satisfying participation in the family role more difficult. Demands of and time devoted to work can interfere with family-related responsibilities. This pathway is termed work-family conflict, WFC (Frone et al. , 1992; Greenhaus and Beutell, 1985; Netemeyer et al. , 1996). Both conflicts are distinct inter-role conflicts with different antecedents (Baltes and Heydens-Gahir, 2003; Greenhaus and Beutell, 1985). Both represent the degree to which roles and responsibilities from work and family domains are incompatible. This incompatibility is becoming an issue of concern as work and family life are no longer seen as separate segments in a person's life, but are conceptualised as closely linked aspects of single personal experience.
Regardless of the direction of the conflict, any conflict between work and family roles can increase stress (Pisarski et al. , 1998) and is linked to job dissatisfaction, job burn out, and turnover (Burke, 1988; Frone et al. , 1992; Greenhaus, 1988) as well as to life and marital dissatisfaction (Greenhaus and Beutell, 1985; Gutek et al. , 1991). The
links between the two conflicts had been demonstrated by Frone et al. (1992) and are explained as an example of the role spillover model (Barling, 1990). This model asserts that there is a significant similarity between what happens at work and in the family. It suggests that a person's work experiences influence his or her behaviour at home, influencing basic behaviours towards self and family members (Zedeck, 1992). In its positive expression, this model is the notion of positive relationships between work and family, for example that job satisfaction enhances family life. In its negative expression, the model asserts that negative experiences in family life, possibly as result of role conflict due to shift work, create negative attitudes that can be carried over to work life.
Research into work-life balance and stress has established that conflict between home and family leads to negative job related attitudes, including reduced job satisfaction, increased tardiness, absenteeism, sickness, turnover and reduced performance levels (Cooper and Cartwright, 1994; Friedman and Greenhaus, 2000; Quick et al. , 1997). Frone et al. (1992) found that the relationship between work - family conflict and job related affect is not a direct one, but that it is mediated by the frequency of family - work conflict. Therefore, the family environment appears to play a central role when investigating the effects of shift work.
## Interventions to improve coping by shift workers
Stress research proposes that job stress intervention processes can be divided into three categories: those focusing on the individual (by learning to cope with stress), those focusing on the organisation (by changing the work situation, thus tackling the source of the problem) and those focusing on the individual-organisation interface (by increasing the employee's resistance to specific job stressors).
Within these three focus points, stress management approaches generally concentrate on primary coping strategies (i.e. reduction of stressors such as work-family conflicts), or secondary coping strategies (i.e. altering employee responses to job stressors such as ways of dealing with work-family conflicts once they arise). (Discussion of tertiary coping strategies such as counselling and therapy is beyond the scope of this paper; for more elaborate reviews see Lazarus and Folkman, 1984.)
Based on the accelerating social changes that necessitate shift work, it is safe to assume that the organisation-focused, primary intervention strategy of eliminating shift work is of little practical value. Although it is within the possibility of many organisations to minimise some of the negative aspects of shift work by changing from rotating shifts to permanent shifts (Tepas, 1993), research has shown that many of the negative consequences, especially the family related ones, remain valid for all types of shift work. Therefore, the focus will remain on the individual employees and their families when working with primary and secondary coping strategies.
For the successful design and application of any coping strategies aimed at helping shift workers to effectively deal with the challenges of their working life, family support and help are of vital importance (Bohle and Tilley, 1998; Bostic, 1988). This importance of the family is underscored by Frone et al. (1992) who found that the relationship between work - family conflict and job related stress is not a direct one, but that it is mediated by the frequency of family - work conflict. Further, MacEwen and Barling (1998) suggest that employees with a high degree of family support are more protected from the effects of work - family conflicts than employees with low
Shift work interventions
levels of family support. This protection can be established on the practical level as well as on a psychological and emotional level. For example, families can be supportive by reducing the clash between work and non-work activities (and the frequency of FWC) by restructuring meals and social and familial activities to accommodate the shift worker (Bohle and Tilley, 1998). Additionally, having the understanding and support of the family as well as maintaining contact with other shift worker families can not only ease the practical burdens, but also the aspects of perceived social marginalisation and role conflict (Pisarski et al. , 2002). Moreover, proper support from family and friends at home has been found to enhance both adaptability and tolerance to shift work (Loudon and Bohle, 1997; Walker, 1985), two aspects feeding into job satisfaction and perceived work-life balance.
As it is in the interest of the individual as well as the organisation to achieve adaptability to and tolerance of shift work, workplaces increasingly turn to introducing shift work preparation strategies. These strategies aim at directly benefiting the employee, therefore improving his or her job satisfaction and thus benefiting indirectly the organisation as well (Henderson and Burt, 1998). Shift worker education programmes are one such strategy that attempts to change shift worker behaviour within the framework of primary and secondary stress interventions. These programmes may provide both relevant information to employees (communication of news, knowledge and facts), as well as educate staff on how to cope with the demands of shift work. Education here is defined as developing information, facilitating learning, training and implementation (Tepas, 1993). Ideally, these strategy and life style coping education sessions are conducted on an on-going basis to keep shift workers constantly aware of problems associated with the stresses of shift work as well as with relevant coping strategies (Monk, 2000).
Research in the effectiveness of shift worker education programmes has shown mixed results. Some literature reviews report only anecdotal evidence for the effectiveness of shift worker education programmes (Tepas, 1993). Shift workers may reject reparation strategies involving sleeping patterns and/or restrictions on caffeine intake as irrelevant to them (Wedderburn and Scholarios, 1993). In general, it has been argued that the effectiveness of intervention strategies largely depends on two characteristics. One of these is the relevance of the information the individual is given (Tepas, 1993). A clear focus on relevance of shift worker educational programmes to the employee situation has repeatedly been found to have a positive impact on acceptance of its message (Carlson, 1991). In addition, successful shift work education programmes must be relevant, practical as well as socially acceptable to the individual as well as the family members affected (Tepas, 1993). Generally, very few coping strategies have been found to work well without this family or social support (Monk, 2000). Since a large proportion of shift work stressors are related to the difficulties experienced when balancing work and family roles (Pleck et al. , 1980), it is reasonable to expect that employee change is more likely to occur if the training programmes are relevant to these aspects as well as to the physical issues of eating and sleeping routines.
The second aspect increasing the effectiveness of shift work education initiatives is how skilled the shift worker is in using the given information (Tepas, 1993). In the case of shift work and family demands, this is probably not only an issue of the employee's skill in applying the information, but also the skill levels of family and friends of the employee who are also required to change behaviours. Therefore, it does appear to
make sense that shift intervention programmes include family members as active participants (Tepas, 1993). Finally, as argued earlier, work and family demands can influence each other in both directions. Therefore, it is suggested that when evaluating shift-worker intervention strategies one needs to look at the effect these interventions have on both family-work conflict and work-family conflict. Due to the reciprocal, mediating effects these role conflicts have on each other, it can be argued that shift work intervention programmes involving family members and addressing both conflicts will have greater beneficial effects than interventions aiming at reducing only one of the conflicts. However, there is a clear lack of field experimental research into this area.
The present study fills this gap by exploring, in a naturally occurring field setting, whether involvement of the family in shift work support training, and enlargement of the scope of training by inclusion of socio-emotional aspects of shift work, improves the work-family outcomes for shift workers.
## Method
The data was gathered through initial and six-monthly follow-ups at three industrial sites that adopted different interventions to improve job satisfaction and occupational safety and health for shift-workers. The research design is that of a naturally occurring field experiment, with repeated measures at three sites, each of which adopted a different approach to shift-worker training and development. The researchers were not involved in the interventions at these sites, but were there to collect longitudinal data on shift work patterns and impacts as part of a larger national study of shift workers over two decades of workplace reform.
## Participants
Participants in the study were employed as shift-workers in three continuous processing (metallurgy) industrial sites. Each site had between 170 and 210 shift employees, generally in direct production or production-supervision roles. The factory workers were employed on eight-hour rotating shifts, with very little overtime. Each site surveyed all shift-workers by asking for completion at the shift break. Both management and the union at the site supported the research programme, and completion rates were high (over 90 per cent in each administration).
Across the three sites there were 503 participants in total, divided almost equally between sites. A total of 85.9 per cent had partner/spouse and all had families in the area; only participants with partners and families were included in this aspect of the study, consistent with prior research on work-family conflict (Baltes and Heydens-Gahir, 2003), resulting in a final sample of 432. Participants were all male, with an age range of 28-61, and a mean age of 41.33 years. Participants had over eight years of service on average, with a range of two to 18 years of service. There were no statistically significant demographic differences between work sites.
## Interventions
While acknowledging that there were significant issues associated with shift-work, management at each plant took different approaches to providing support to shift-workers. At site A, shift workers were seen as requiring health and safety support, as work-family issues were not seen as appropriate for workplace discussion.

Accordingly, this site provided two half-day sessions in maintaining alertness, with a focus on diet and exercise. The on-site industrial nurse provided the training. Extending access to an occupational nurse into the evening shift supported this initiative. This forms our de facto control group for family inclusion.
In site B, training and development focused on a broader range of behaviours and specifically dealt with diet, exercise and sleep both at home and at work, and with managing time and priorities between work and family. The training occurred in two half-day sessions, conducted by the industrial nurse and an outside trainer, with the nurse 'on call' for further enquiries. This provided a training condition addressing the work-family aspect as well as family-work issues, but without active involvement of the families in the training process.
In Site C, the same training materials and trainers were used, but shift-workers were asked to attend with their partners/spouses. The training sessions were each one hour longer to accommodate more group discussions and questions. Ongoing support was provided with handouts and an ongoing newsletter that was sent to workers' homes. This provided a training condition addressing work-family aspects as well as family-work issues and included active family involvement in the training.
## Instrumentation
The data on work-family interaction was gathered as part of a larger survey project on consequences of shift-work. This portion of the research was assessed using the five-item work-family conflict and five-item family-work conflict scales (Netemeyer et al. , 1996). The scale items appear below. Participants were asked to respond using a seven-point Likert scale with values ranging from 1 (strongly disagree) to 7 (strongly agree). Coefficient alpha in this study was 0.91 for the WF conflict scale, and 0.93 for the FW conflict scale.
Items in the WF conflict scale were:
- (1) The demands of my work interfere with my home and family life
- (2) The amount of time my job takes up makes it difficult to fulfil my family responsibilities.
- (3) Things I want to do at home do not get done because of the demands my job puts on me.
- (4) My job produces strain that makes it difficult to fulfil family duties.
- (5) Due to work-related duties, I have to make changes to my plans or family activities.
Items in the FW conflict scale were:
- (1) The demands of my family or spouse/partner interfere with work-related activities.
- (2) I have to put off doing things at work because of demands on my time at home.
- (3) Things I want to do at work do not get done because of the demands of my family or spouse-partner.
- (4) Myhome life interferes with my responsibilities at work such as getting to work on time, accomplishing daily tasks, and working overtime.
- (5) Family-related strain interferes with my ability to perform job-related duties.

In addition to the scales, participants were provided with open-response questions regarding both positive and negative aspects of their work and family interaction:
- . What are the most positive impacts of work on your family?
- . What are the most negative impacts of work on your family?
- . What are the most positive impacts of family on your work?
- . What are the most negative impacts of family on your work?
Responses to the open ended questions were coded and analysed thematically and then assessed through frequency counts.
## Results
This research assessed whether work-life balance training improves shift-workers' experience of work and family, and if this is enhanced by family participation in the training. The dependent variables across all three conditions are composite scores on WFC and FWC. A 3 £ 2 £ 3 multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA), with repeated measures was performed to test the impact of the training.
## Impact of training on WFC and FWC
The mean scores and standard deviations for WFC before the interventions were similar, with Site B reporting the highest mean score (28.5, std 2.6), compared to Site A (27.1, std 2.1) and site C (26.6, std 2.4). Although the mean WFC scores declined in all three sites, there were noticeable differences in the magnitude of this decline. For Site A the difference in mean WFC score was 2.4 points, for Site B it was 10.9 points and for Site C 13.4 points.
Although all three sites reported a decrease in work-family conflict after the training at Time 2, this decrease was the strongest for Site C, where the family had been involved in the training. The decrease was least at Site A, where training was focused on diet and sleeping pattern advice to shift workers only. These results are graphically summarised in Figure 1. Analysis of variance underscores a significant interaction effect for training type by family involvement on work-family conflict, as outlined in Table I. The data suggests that involving the family in training and development

W-L Training focused on a broader range of relevant behaviours had the most significant impact on the reduction of WFC.
For the measure of FWC the mean scores were noticeably lower than those reported for WFC. Before the interventions the FWC mean scores and standard deviations were, again, similar across sites, with Site C reporting the highest mean score (15.8, std 1.6) compared with Site A (14.9, std 1.9) and Site B (14.2, std 2.2). After the interventions, the Site C average score was lower than before (10.2, std 1.8) as was the score of site B (13.9, std 2.5). Site A, however, reported a higher mean score than before the health advice treatments were introduced (16.1, std 1.8). (Refer to Figure 2 for visual summary).
The multivariate analysis results are also less pronounced for FWC; only the interaction of family and training is significant at the 0.05 level and there are no signficant main effects for training type or family involvement (Table II).
For FWC, however, significant differences are found between the control and the family training site post-intervention ð t ð 162 Þ ¼ 2 5 : 714 ; p , 0 : 01 ; n 2 ¼ 0 : 42 Þ ; consistent with the interaction effect of training and family involvement. Taken together, the survey results suggest that involving the family in training and development focused on a broader range of relevant behaviours, rather than physiological aspects alone, improves outcomes in both FWC and WFC for shift workers.

## Open text responses
The four open-ended text response questions were content analysed and categorised by the researchers and an independent evaluator, who had been unaware of the aims and the content of the study. Inter-rater reliability across all text coding was calculated at 0.89.
WFC was explored through responses to the questions:
- . What are the most positive impacts of work on your family?
- . What are the most negative impacts of work on your family?
Respondents across all three sites at the beginning of the study expressed that the rotating shifts and monthly four days in a row off that were part of their shift structures, provided them with time to get more important things done around the house or to take a break with their families (217 comments). This was the only response where the working status of the partner played a role, as coordinating holiday or respite schedules with a second employer was seen as difficult by workers across all three sites, particularly as the partner was more likely to use much of their leave entitlements to address family needs that the shift worker was not able to accommodate. They also suggested that shift work allows them to provide a good standard of living for themselves and their families (331 comments). Negative impacts included (in order of frequency), constant tiredness (272 comments), being 'out-of-sync' with partner and children's schedules (177 comments), not having a social life (145 comments), and missing major events, such as birthdays, school events, and sporting events (111 comments).
The number of positive comments made after the intervention remained the same for Site A, while it decreased for Site B ( 2 5.4 per cent) and increased at Site C ( þ 12 per cent). Overall, the number of negative impacts listed declined by about 50 per cent in the two family oriented training conditions (Sites B and C) when measured for the second time. The overall decrease in negative impacts reported for Site A, with the health-only training, was only 5.4 per cent. In particular, tiredness decreased across all three sites. In all conditions, being 'out-of-sync' with the family and missing important family events were also mentioned less than in the time before the interventions. Going against this trend, at Site B the number of comments related to no or disrupted social life increased by 13.5 per cent (see Table III).

In response to the spillover effects of family on work, the level of expressed conflict on FWCwaslower for all groups, and this was reflected in far fewer comments in the open section of the survey to the following two questions:
- (1) What are the most positive impacts of family on your work?
- (2) What are the most negative impacts of family on your work?
The 244 total responses received at Time 1 for these questions (222 at Time 2) were grouped into one positive (family understands and supports me) and one negative category (there are fights within the family about work schedules).
The number of positive comments made increased across all three conditions from 20 per cent at Site A to 48.4 per cent at Site B and even 108 per cent at Site C.
However, the most striking difference across conditions and time was the reduction in listing of family arguments that carried over into work from the first to second measurement, particularly in the training scenario including the family. While this was reduced in all conditions ( 2 15 per cent at Site A, 2 54.6 per cent at Site B), it disappeared entirely from the family training scenario (Site C) across the measurement period. Of the respondents, seven specifically noted that completing the training with their partners meant that they now approached this as a problem to be solved, and they felt that they were working together more effectively with balancing work and family commitments than they ever had before. These results are summarised in Table IV.

| after the interventions | Change in % | 2 15% | 2 54.6% | 2 100% |
In summary, the quantitative and qualitative analyses of the collected data indicate that all three interventions can contribute to reductions in WFC as well as FWC, although there are some aspects of the training that tend to heighten awareness rather than resolve the problems directly, as we see in the increase in negative factors noted at Site B. However, the largest positive effect arises from the involvement of the families in training and development focused on a broader range of relevant behaviours and risk factors.
## Discussion
Shift work has its positive sides as well as its conflict aspects. The present study illustrated, that the traditional positive aspects of shift work - flexibility and pay were as much part of life for the employees at all three sites investigated as were the negative sides. These negative aspects had been found to fall into two areas of conflict that can have effects in two unique but related directions: from work into the family of the shift worker, and from the family into the work place. The present research aimed at exploring the differences three types of training can make on reported work-family conflict and family-work conflict for shift workers.
The importance of family involvement in awareness creation, training or behaviour change for shift workers had been clearly demonstrated by the results relating to the two sites introducing more extensive behaviour modification training. As previous research indicated, the family environment appears to play a central role when trying to alleviate the effects of shift work. The highly significant result for the interaction effect for training by family involvement on work-family conflict is in support of previous studies suggesting that, as the family bears the brunt of a shift worker's conflicts, the family is also the deciding factor in effectiveness of shift worker interventions. Even the best-designed and structured shift worker training does indeed need to involve the family. The family is the support network for the shift worker, which can help managing the work-family conflicts by sharing the same skills and an understanding of the issues involved.
The results further indicate that traditional interventions in the form of giving health focused information on how to maintain alertness during shift work as well as introducing a healthy diet and exercise, can reduce the level of WFC and FWC experienced. However, these changes appear to be relatively small and, when considering only the FWC mean scores, the degree of family work conflict may increase. It is possible to suggest that this increase in FWC is due to the shift worker's learning about different eating and sleeping patterns than those currently present in the family. If the shift worker suggests that changes to diet and household routines are implemented, conflict may be heightened by a lack of family awareness of work-related health requirements. It is also possible that the families feel the changes to be not feasible or a priority in their lives. Future studies might clarify this point through interviews and focus group discussions with the effected employees and their families. As this study is limited to male shift workers, we cannot assess the interaction of gender roles on work-family. We are also limited by the scope of the study; as this is a field study, we have no control over other sources of variance at home or in the work place.
The reported increase in conflicts regarding disrupted family life in Site B (training without family involvement) may arise from one of two possible causes. First, it is
Shift work interventions
conceivable that in the time after the intervention some of the respondents did face actual events such as overtime required or scheduling conflicts. These may or may not have been out of the ordinary, but after talking about these conflicts in the training they might have come more to the attention of the shift workers than before, and thus be reported more often. On the other hand, it is possible that the shift workers spoke at home with their families about shift work in general, and the training in particular, and thus surfaced the topic, and discovered more family distress than they had previously been aware of. These conversations might have brought the issues of limited or interrupted social lives to the forefront of the shift workers' minds and into the open-ended question responses. Again, future studies could explore these possibilities through in-depth interviews and focus groups with shift workers and their family members.
Overall, the most encouraging finding is that a total reduction in fights about work schedules and an increase in family understanding of the shift worker's support requirements is possible if the training focuses on a broad range of behaviours, acknowledges family-work issues, and explicitly involves the family in the learning process. In combination with the clear results in reduction of work-family conflict of this type of intervention, it clearly supports the notion that family, shift worker, and workplace form an interdependent unit. If employers wish to increase performance in one aspect (i.e. at work), they are well advised to explicitly address the other two as well (i.e. work with the employee and the family on managing the complexities involved). From the perspective of the employee, merely understanding shift work's negative effects is not enough; effective support involves family awareness and engagement.
The pressures of work and family are accelerating and families, who have traditionally borne the brunt of the conflicts experienced between home and work, can do little more to sustain balance. Therefore, in addition to acknowledging the necessity and sometimes welcoming the new employment patterns of shift work, employees are increasingly asking for a more balanced approach to work and social life. Consequently, the challenge for society as well as for organisations is to find the best possible way to deal with these, sometimes-conflicting demands made on the time and energy of shift workers. The main difficulty in this challenge is to find ways to enable the employee to cope with the stresses resulting from the increased temporal flexibility of social and work organisations (Costa, 2003). While other research has suggested that employees are better able to balance shift work and home life demands following lifestyle training if it addresses issues of concern to the shift worker and includes socialising strategies (Henderson and Burt, 1998; Johnson, 2004), we have added to this knowledge base by documenting reduced work-life stress when lifestyle training involves family members.

## Chapter 1
## What is Earth Science?
## 1.1 Nature of Science
## Lesson Objectives
- Explain the importance of asking questions.
- State the steps of the scientific method.
- Describe the three major types of scientific models.
- Use appropriate safety precautions inside and outside the science laboratory.
## Introduction
Think of your favorite science fiction movie. What is it about? Maybe it's about spaceships going to distant planets, or people being cloned in laboratories, or undersea civilizations, or robots that walk among us. These entertaining imaginings are make-believe fantasies, that's why they're called science 'fiction.' They are not real. But why are they called 'science' fiction?
The answer is that science uses a disciplined process to answer questions. In science, 'disciplined' does not mean well-behaved. It means following orderly steps in order to come up with the best answers. Science involves observing, wondering, categorizing, communicating, calculating, analyzing, and much more. In order to convert creativity into reality, we need science. In order to travel beyond where anyone has gone before, we need science. In order to understand the world, make sense of it, and conserve it, we need science. In order to confirm our best guesses about the universe and the things in it, we need science. Science fiction stories extend and expand on all the ideas of science and technology in creative ways.

The movie opens with a news report advertising the way of life in this future, which seems to be far from ideal. Among other stories, three police officers have been murdered and a fourth, Frank Frederickson, has been left critically injured in an attack by unofficial Old Detroit crime boss Clarence Boddicker (Kurtwood Smith), wanted for the deaths of over 30 police officers. The Detroit Metropolitan Police Department's union representatives blame Omni Consumer Products (OCP), who have recently entered a contract with the city to run and manage the DPD, for putting their men in such dangerous environments.
At the Metro West Precinct in Old Detroit, officers respond to a variety of cases when veteran officer Alex Murphy (Peter Weller) arrives, having been transferred in from Metro South. Desk Sergeant Warren Reed gets Murphy a set of riot armor and introduces Murphy to the other cops, who are not happy about how OCP seems to be trying to run the police force into the ground. As Murphy and the other cops are suiting up in the locker rooms, one of them suggests that they go on strike to pressure OCP into giving them better working conditions. At that point, Reed and another officer come in, carrying an evidence tray. Reed removes Frederickson's nameplate from his locker, announcing that Frederickson has died, much to the disappointment of the other cops in the locker room. Reed tells them that a memorial service will be held the next day and admonishes them harshly about striking.

## Creativity in Machine Learning
Martin Thoma
E-Mail: <info@martin-thoma.de>
Abstract -Recent machine learning techniques can be modified to produce creative results. Those results did not exist before; it is not a trivial combination of the data which was fed into the machine learning system. The obtained results come in multiple forms: As images, as text and as audio.
This paper gives a high level overview of how they are created and gives some examples. It is meant to be a summary of the current work and give people who are new to machine learning some starting points.
## I. INTRODUCTION
According to [Gad06] creativity is 'the ability to use your imagination to produce new ideas, make things etc.' and imagination is 'the ability to form pictures or ideas in your mind'.
Recent advances in machine learning produce results which the author would intuitively call creative. A high-level overview over several of those algorithms are described in the following.
This paper is structured as follows: Section II introduces the reader on a very simple and superficial level to machine learning, Section III gives examples of creativity with images, Section IV gives examples of machines producing textual content, and Section V gives examples of machine learning and music. A discussion follows in Section VI.
## II. BASICS OF MACHINE LEARNING
The traditional approach of solving problems with software is to program machines to do so. The task is divided in as simple sub-tasks as possible, the subtasks are analyzed and the machine is instructed to process the input with human-designed algorithms to produce the desired output. However, for some tasks like object recognition this approach is not feasible. There are way to many different objects, different lighting situations, variations in rotation and the arrangement of a scene for a human to think of all of them and model them. But with the internet, cheap computers, cameras, crowd-sourcing platforms like Wikipedia and lots of Websites, services like Amazon Mechanical Turk and several other changes in the past decades a lot of data has become available. The idea of machine learning is to make use of this data.
A formal definition of the field of Machine Learning is given by Tom Mitchel [Mit97]:
A computer program is said to learn from experience E with respect to some class of tasks T and performance measure P , if its performance at tasks in T , as measured by P , improves with experience E .
Fig. 1: Neural networks are based on simple units which get combined to complex networks.

This means that machine learning programs adjust internal parameters to fit the data they are given. Those computer programs are still developed by software developers, but the developer writes them in a way which makes it possible to adjust them without having to re-program everything. Machine learning programs should generally improve when they are fed with more data.
The field of machine learning is related to statistics. Some algorithms directly try to find models which are based on wellknown distribution assumptions of the developer, others are more general.
A common misunderstanding of people who are not related in this field is that the developers don't understand what their machine learning program is doing. It is understood very well in the sense that the developer, given only a pen, lots of paper and a calculator could calculate the same result as the machine does when he gets the same data. And lots of time, of course. It is not understood in the sense that it is hard to make predictions how the algorithm behaves without actually trying it. However, this is similar to expecting from an electrical engineer to explain how a computer works. The electrical engineer could probably get the knowledge he needs to do so, but the amount of time required to understand such a complex system from basic building blocks is a time-intensive and difficult task.
An important group of machine learning algorithms was inspired by biological neurons and are thus called artificial neural networks . Those networks are based on mathematical functions called artificial neurons which take n ∈ N numbers x 1 , . . . , x n ∈ R as input, multiply them with weights w 1 , . . . , w n ∈ R , add them and apply a so called activation function ϕ as visualized in Figure 1(a). One example of such an activation function is the sigmoid function ϕ ( x ) = 1 1+ e -x . Those functions act as building blocks for more complex systems as they can be chained and grouped in layers as visualized in Figure 1(b). The interesting question is how the parameters w i are learned. This is usually done by an optimization technique called gradient descent . The gradient descent algorithm takes a function which has to be derivable, starts at any point of the surface of this error function and
makes a step in the direction which goes downwards. Hence it tries to find a minimum of this high-dimensional function.
There is, of course, a lot more to say about machine learning. The interested reader might want to read the introduction given by Mitchell [Mit97].
## III. IMAGE DATA
Applying a simple neural network on image data directly can work, but the number of parameters gets extraordinary large. One would take one neuron per pixel and channel. This means for 500 px × 500 px RGB images one would get 750 , 000 input signals. To approach this problem, so called Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) were introduced. Instead of learning the full connection between the input layer and the first hidden layer, those networks make use of convolution layers. Convolution layers learn a convolution; this means they learn the weights of an image filter. An additional advantage is that CNNs make use of spacial relationships of the pixels instead of flattening the image to a stream of single numbers.
An excellent introduction into CNNs is given by [Nie15].
## A. Google DeepDream
The gradient descent algorithm which optimizes most of the parameters in neural networks is well-understood. However, the effect it has on the recognition system is difficult to estimate. [MOT15] proposes a technique to analyze the weights learned by such a network. A similar idea was applied by [VKMT13].
For example, consider a neural network which was trained to recognize various images like bananas. This technique turns the network upside down and starts with random noise. To analyze what the network considers bananas to look like, the random noise image is gradually tweaked so that it generates the output 'banana'. Additionally, the changes can be restricted in a way that the statistics of the input image have to be similar to natural images. One example of this is that neighboring pixels are correlated.
Another technique is to amplify the output of layers. This was described in [MOT15]:
We ask the network: 'Whatever you see there, I want more of it!' This creates a feedback loop: if a cloud looks a little bit like a bird, the network will make it look more like a bird. This in turn will make the network recognize the bird even more strongly on the next pass and so forth, until a highly detailed bird appears, seemingly out of nowhere.
The name 'Inceptionism' in the title of [MOT15] comes from the science-fiction movie 'Inception' (2010). One reason it might be chosen is because neural networks are structured in layers. Recent publications tend to have more and more layers [HZRS15]. The used jargon is to say they get 'deeper'. As this technique as published by Google engineers, the technique is called Google DeepDream .

<!-- image -->
It has become famous in the internet [Red]. Usually, the images are generated in iterations and in each iteration it is zoomed into the image.
Images and videos published by the Google engineers can be seen at [goo15]. Figure 2 shows the original image from which Figure 3 was created with the deep dream algorithm.
## B. Artistic Style Imitation
A key idea of neural networks is that they learn different representations of the data in each layer. In the case of CNNs, this can easily be visualized as it was done in various papers [ZF14]. Usually, one finds that the network learned to build edge detectors in the first layer and more complex structures in the upper layers.
Gatys, Ecker and Bethge showed in [GEB15] that with a clever choice of features it is possible to separate the general style of an image in terms of local image appearance from the content of an image. They support their claim by applying the style of different artists to an arbitrary image of their choice.
<!-- image -->
- (c) The artistic style of Van Gogh's 'Starry Night' applied to the photograph of a Scottish Highland Cattle.
Fig. 4: The algorithm takes both, the original image and the style image to produce the result.
This artistic style imitation can be seen itself as creative work. An example is given by Figure 4. The code which created this example is available under [Joh16].
Something similar was done by [SPB + 14], where the style of a portrait photograph was transferred to another photograph. A demo can be seen on [Shi14].
## C. Drawing Robots
Patrick Tresset and Frdric Fol Leymarie created a system called AIKON (Automatic IKONic drawing) which can automatically generated sketches for portraits [TL05]. AIKON takes a digital photograph, detects faces on them and sketches them with a pen-plotter.
Tresset and Leymaire use k -means clustering [KMN + 02] to segment regions of the photograph with similar color which, in turn, will get a similar shading.
Such a drawing robot could apply machine learning techniques known from computer vision for detecting the human. It could apply self-learning techniques to draw results most similar to the artists impression of the image. However, the system described in [TL05] seems not to be a machine learning computer program according to the definition by Tom Mitchell [Mit97].
## IV. TEXT DATA
Digital text is the first form of natural communication which involved computers. It is used in the form of chats, websites, on collaborative projects like Wikipedia, in scientific literature. Of course, it was used in pre-digital times, too: In newspaper, in novels, in dramas, in religious texts like the bible, in books for education, in notes from conversations.
This list could be continued and most of these kinds of texts are now available in digital form. This digital form can be used to teach machines to generate similar texts.
The most simple language model which is of use is an n -gram model. This model makes use of sequences of the length n to model language. It can be used to get the probability of a third word, given the previous two words. This way, a complete text can be generated word by word. Refinements and extensions to this model are discussed in the field of Natural Language Processing (NLP).
However, there are much more sophisticated models. One of those are character predictors based on Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs). Those character predictors take a sequence of characters as input and predict the next character. In that sense they are similar to the n -gram model, but operate on a lower level. Using such a predictor, one can generate texts character by character. If the model is good, the text can have the correct punctuation. This would not be possible with a word predictor.
Character predictors can be implemented with RNNs. In contrast to standard feed-forward neural networks like multilayer Perceptrons (MLPs) which was shown in Figure 1(b), those networks are trained to take their output at some point as well as the normal input. This means they can keep some information over time. One of the most common variant to implement RNNs is by using so called Long short-term memory (LSTM) cells [HS97].
Recurrent networks apply two main ideas in order to learn: The first is called unrolling and means that an recurrent network is imagined to be an infinite network over time. At each time step the recurrent neurons get duplicated. The second idea is weight sharing which means that those unrolled neurons share the same weight.
## A. Similar Texts Generation
Karpathy trained multiple character RNNs on different datasets and gave an excellent introduction [Kar15b]. He trained it on Paul Graham's essays, all the works of Shakespeare, the Hutter Prize [hut] 100 MB dataset of raw Wikipedia articles, the raw L A T E X source file of a book about algebraic stacks and geometry and Linux C code.
With that training data, the models can generate similar texts. New works which look like Shakespeare plays, new Wikipedia articles, new Linux code and new papers about algebraic geometry can thus automatically be generated. At a first
glance, they do look authentic. The syntax was mostly used correctly, the formatting looks as expected, the sentences are grammatically correct. However, when one looks at the broader context it is easy to recognize that the algorithm has no insight in what it is doing. It does match patterns really well, but it fails to follow a central theme. In the context of C code this means that new variables are introduced, but not used. At the same time, variables which were not declared are used. In the context of Shakespear plays this means that a lot of new characters are introduced, but they don't speak with each other or about each other.
The code used to generate these examples is available and ready to use through [Kar15a]. A couple of examples are in Section A.
## B. Chatbots
Chatbots are computer programs which participate in chat rooms as autonomous agents. This means they have similar permissions and possibilities as usual human users have, but users can trigger a set of commands to make the bot give them valuable information or features.
A special category of chatbots are such bots which actively participate in the conversation, which is usually not the case. One of the earliest programs in this category is ELIZA, a bot created by Joseph Weizenbaum in the 1960s [Wei76]. This program had a set of patterns implemented to which it would reply in a seemingly smart way in a psychologists fashion. This means quite often the program would simply repeat the last sentence and add something meaningless like 'How do you feel about it?'. According to [Cur14], Weizenbaum once found his secretary - who was aware of the fact that this is a computer program - chatting with the machine. When he looked over her shoulder, she asked him 'would you mind leaving the room'.
Today, much more sophisticated chatbots exist. They make use of the vast amount of data which is available by millions of Wikipedia articles, chat protocols, websites, help desk protocols, subtitles of movies as well as the astonishing increase in computing power to train RNNs and language models similar to the ones described before.
Interesting results like the following were obtained by [VL15]:
Human : what is the purpose of life ?
- Machine : to serve the greater good .
Human
: what is the purpose of living ?
Machine : to live forever .
## V. AUDIO DATA
Common machine learning tasks which involve audio data are speech recognition, speaker identification, identification of songs. This leads to some less-common, but interesting topics: The composition of music, the synthesizing of audio as art. While the composition might be considered in Section IV, we will now investigate the work which was done in audio synthesization.
## A. Emily Howell
David Cope created a project called 'Experiments in Musical Intelligence' (short: EMI or Emmy) in 1984 [Cop87]. He introduces the idea of seeing music as a language which can be analyzed with natural language processing (NLP) methods. Cope mentions that EMI was more useful to him, when he used the system to 'create small phrase-size textures as next possibilities using its syntactic dictionary and rule base' [Cop87].
In 2003, Cope started a new project which was based on EMI: Emily Howell [Cop13]. This program is able to 'creat[e] both highly authentic replications and novel music compositions'. The reader might want to listen to [Cop12] to get an impression of the beauty of the created music.
According to Cope, an essential part of music is 'a set of instructions for creating different, but highly related selfreplications'. Emmy was programmed to find this set of instructions. It tries to find the 'signature' of a composer, which Cope describes as 'contiguous patterns that recur in two or more works of the composer'.
The new feature of Emily Howell compared to Emmy is that Emily Howell does not necessarily remain in a single, already known style.
Emily Howell makes use of association network. Cope emphasizes that this is not a form of a neural network. However, it is not clear from [Cop13] how exactly an association network is trained. Cope mentions that Emily Howell is explained in detail in [Cop05].
## B. GRUV
Recurrent neural networks - LSTM networks, to be exact - are used in [NV15] together with Gated Recurrent Units (GRU) to build a network which can be trained to generate music. Instead of taking notes directly or MIDI files, Nayebi and Vitelli took raw audio waveforms as input. Those audio waveforms are feature vectors given for time steps 0 , 1 , . . . , t -1 , t . The network is given those feature vectors X 1 , . . . , X t and has to predict the following feature vector X t +1 . This means it continues the music. As the input is continuous, the problem was modeled as a regression task. Discrete Fourier Transformation (DFT) was used on chunks of length N of the music to obtain features in the frequency domain.
An implementation can be found at [VN15] and a demonstration can be found at [Vit15].
## C. Audio Synthesization
Audio synthesization is generating new audio files. This can either be music or speech. With the techniques described before,
neural networks can be trained to generate music note by note. However, it is desirable to allow multiple notes being played at the same time.
This idea and some others were applied by Daniel Johnson. He wrote a very good introduction into neural networks for music composition which explains those ideas [Joh15b]. Example compositions are available there, too. He also made the code for his Biaxial Recurrent Neural Network available under [Joh15a].
## VI. DISCUSSION
What does these examples mean for our understanding of creativity? Does it influence how much we value art? Could we define art and creativity better after having those and similar results?
I think we might readjust our understanding of creativity just like we adjusted our understanding of algorithmically hard problems after Deep Blue won against the reigning world chess champion Garry Kasparov in 1997.
However, by now it is obvious that machine learning algorithms cannot compete with human artists. Today's state of the art algorithms which are purely based on machine learning don't follow a central theme. They lack the ability to plan. Although clever algorithms were implemented for composing music, it seems as if there is still a lot of supervision involved.

## The Evolution of the Word Processor
The concept of the word processor predates modern computers and has evolved through several technological milestones.
## Pre-Digital Era (19th - Early 20th Century)
The origins of word processing can be traced back to the invention of the typewriter in the mid-19th century. Patented in 1868 by Christopher Latham Sholes, the typewriter revolutionized written communication by enabling people to produce legible, professional documents more efficiently than handwriting.
During this period, the term "word processing" didn't exist, but the typewriter laid the groundwork for future developments. Over time, advancements such as carbon paper (for copies) and the electric typewriter (introduced by IBM in 1935) improved the speed and convenience of document creation.
## The Birth of Word Processing (1960s - 1970s)
The term "word processor" first emerged in the 1960s and referred to any system designed to streamline written communication and document production. Early word processors were not software programs but rather standalone machines.
- IBM MT/ST (Magnetic Tape/Selectric Typewriter) : Introduced in 1964, this machine combined IBM's Selectric typewriter with magnetic tape storage. It allowed users to record, edit, and replay typed content-an early example of digital text storage.
- Wang Laboratories : In the 1970s, Wang introduced dedicated word processing machines. These devices, like the Wang 1200, featured small screens and floppy disks, making them revolutionary for their time.
These machines were primarily used in offices, where secretarial pools benefited from their ability to make revisions without retyping entire documents.
## The Rise of Personal Computers (1980s)
The advent of personal computers in the late 1970s and early 1980s transformed word processing from a niche tool to an essential technology for businesses and individuals alike.
- WordStar (1978) : Developed for the CP/M operating system, WordStar was one of the first widely used word processing programs. It featured early examples of modern features like cut, copy, and paste.
- Microsoft Word (1983) : Microsoft launched Word for MS-DOS in 1983, introducing a graphical user interface (GUI) and mouse support. Over the years, Microsoft Word became the industry standard for word processing.
Other notable software from this era included WordPerfect, which was popular among legal professionals, and Apple's MacWrite, which leveraged the Macintosh's graphical capabilities.
## The Modern Era (1990s - Present)
By the 1990s, word processing software had become more sophisticated, with features like spell check, grammar check, templates, and collaborative tools.
- Microsoft Office Suite : Microsoft continued to dominate with its Office Suite, integrating Word with other productivity tools like Excel and PowerPoint.
- OpenOffice and LibreOffice : Open-source alternatives emerged in the early 2000s, offering free and flexible word processing options.
- Google Docs (2006) : The introduction of cloud-based word processing revolutionized collaboration. Google Docs enabled real-time editing and sharing, making it a staple for teams and remote work.
## Future of Word Processing
Today, word processors are more than just tools for typing. They integrate artificial intelligence for grammar and style suggestions (e.g., Grammarly), voice-to-text features, and advanced layout options. As AI continues to advance, word processors may evolve into even more intuitive tools that predict user needs, automate repetitive tasks, and support richer multimedia integration.
From the clunky typewriters of the 19th century to the AI-powered cloud tools of today, the word processor has come a long way. It remains an essential tool for communication and creativity, shaping how we write and share ideas.
## Specialized Word Processing Tools
In addition to general-purpose word processors, specialized tools have emerged to cater to specific industries and needs. These tools incorporate unique features tailored to their users' workflows:
- Academic and Technical Writing : Tools like LaTeX gained popularity among academics, scientists, and engineers. Unlike traditional word processors, LaTeX focuses on precise formatting, particularly for complex mathematical equations, scientific papers, and technical documents. It relies on a markup language to produce polished documents suitable for publishing.
- Screenwriting Software : For screenwriters, tools like Final Draft and Celtx are specialized to handle scripts for film and television. These programs automate the formatting of dialogue, scene descriptions, and other elements unique to screenwriting.
- Legal Document Processors : Word processors tailored for legal professionals, like WordPerfect, offered features such as redlining (early version tracking) and document comparison. Even today, many law firms rely on these tools due to their robust formatting options for contracts and legal briefs.
## Key Features That Changed Word Processing
The evolution of word processors wasn't just about hardware or software improvements-it was about the features that revolutionized how people wrote and edited. Some of these transformative features include:
1. Undo/Redo : Introduced in the 1980s, the ability to undo mistakes and redo actions made experimentation and error correction much easier.
2. Spell Check and Grammar Check : By the 1990s, these became standard, allowing users to spot errors automatically.
3. Templates : Pre-designed formats for documents, such as resumes, letters, and invoices, helped users save time.
4. Track Changes : A game-changer for collaboration, this feature allowed multiple users to suggest edits while maintaining the original text.
5. Real-Time Collaboration : Tools like Google Docs and Microsoft 365 enabled multiple users to edit the same document simultaneously, forever changing teamwork dynamics.
## The Cultural Impact of Word Processors
The word processor didn't just change workplaces-it changed culture. It democratized writing, enabling anyone with access to a computer to produce professional-quality documents. This shift had profound implications for education, business, and creative fields:
- Accessibility : Writers no longer needed expensive publishing equipment or training in typesetting to create polished work. This accessibility paved the way for selfpublishing, blogging, and even fan fiction communities.
- Education : Word processors became a cornerstone of education, teaching students not only how to write essays but also how to use technology effectively. Features like bibliography generators and integrated research tools enhanced learning.
- Creative Writing : Writers gained powerful tools to organize their ideas. Programs like Scrivener allowed authors to manage large projects, from novels to screenplays, with features like chapter outlines and character notes.
## Word Processors in a Post-Digital Era
As we move further into the 21st century, the role of the word processor continues to evolve:
1. Artificial Intelligence : Modern word processors are leveraging AI to suggest content improvements. Tools like Grammarly, ProWritingAid, and even native features in Word now analyze tone, conciseness, and clarity. Some AI systems can even generate entire paragraphs or rewrite sentences.
2. Integration with Other Tools : Word processors are no longer standalone. They integrate with task managers, cloud storage, and project management platforms. For instance, Google Docs syncs with Google Drive, while Microsoft Word integrates seamlessly with OneDrive and Teams.
3. Voice Typing : Speech-to-text capabilities have made word processing more accessible, particularly for those with disabilities. Tools like Dragon NaturallySpeaking and built-in options in Google Docs and Microsoft Word have made dictation mainstream.
4. Multimedia Documents : Word processing has expanded beyond text. Modern tools allow users to embed images, videos, charts, and interactive elements, transforming simple documents into rich multimedia experiences.
5. Cross-Platform Accessibility : Thanks to cloud computing, documents can now be accessed and edited across devices. Whether you're on a desktop, tablet, or smartphone, you can continue working seamlessly.
## A Glimpse Into the Future
The word processor's future lies in adaptability and intelligence. Some exciting possibilities include:
- Fully AI-Assisted Writing : Imagine a word processor that understands your writing style, drafts emails, or creates entire essays based on minimal input.
- Immersive Interfaces : As augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) technology advance, users may be able to write and edit in 3D spaces, collaborating in virtual environments.
- Hyper-Personalization : Word processors could offer dynamic suggestions based on industry-specific needs, user habits, or even regional language variations.
The journey of the word processor-from clunky typewriters to AI-powered platformsreflects humanity's broader technological progress. What began as a tool to simply replace handwriting has transformed into a powerful ally for creativity, communication, and collaboration. As technology continues to advance, the word processor will undoubtedly remain at the heart of how we express ideas and connect with one another.

## 1 John 3:1-7
1 How great is the love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him. 2 Dear friends, now we are children of God, and what we will be has not yet been made known. But we know that when he appears, we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is. 3 Everyone who has this hope in him purifies himself, just as he is pure. 4 Everyone who sins breaks the law; in fact, sin is lawlessness. 5 But you know that he appeared so that he might take away our sins. And in him is no sin. 6 No one who lives in him keeps on sinning. No one who continues to sin has either seen him or known him. 7 Dear children, do not let anyone lead you astray. He who does what is right is righteous, just as he is righteous. (NIV)
Most merciful God, we confess that we are by nature sinful and unclean. We have sinned against You in thought, word, and deed, by what we have done and by what we have left undone. We have not loved You with our whole heart; we have not loved our neighbors as ourselves. We justly deserve Your present and eternal punishment. For the sake of Your Son, Jesus Christ, have mercy on us. Forgive us, renew us, and lead us, so that we may delight in Your will and walk in Your ways to the glory of Your holy name. Amen.
In the mercy of almighty God, Jesus Christ was given to die for us, and for His sake God forgives us all our sins. To those who believe in Jesus Christ He gives the power to become the children of God and bestows on them the Holy Spirit. May the Lord, who has begun this good work in us, bring it to completion in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Amen.
## THE EPISTLE LESSON
## Luke 24:36-49
36 While they were still talking about this, Jesus himself stood among them and said to them, "Peace be with you." 37 They were startled and frightened, thinking they saw a ghost. 38 He said to them, "Why are you troubled, and why do doubts rise in your minds? 39 Look at my hands and my feet. It is I myself! Touch me and see; a ghost does not have flesh and bones, as you see I have." 40 When he had said this, he showed them his hands and feet. 41 And while they still did not believe it because of joy and amazement, he asked them, "Do you have anything here to eat?" 42 They gave him a piece of broiled fish, 43 and he took it and ate it in their presence. 44 He said to them, "This is what I told you while I was still with you: Everything must be fulfilled that is written about me in the Law of Moses, the Prophets and the Psalms." 45 Then he opened their minds so they could understand the Scriptures. 46 He told them, "This is what is written: The Christ will suffer and rise from the dead on the third day, 47 and repentance and forgiveness of sins will be preached in his name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. 48 You are witnesses of these things. 49 I am going to send you what my Father has promised; but stay in the city until you have been clothed with power from on high." (NIV)
## THE CHILDREN'S MESSAGE
## THE SERMON
The Proclaimer of the Message today is the Rev. Dr. Jon Salminen.
## THE APOSTLES' CREED
I believe in God, the Father Almighty, maker of heaven and earth.
And in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died and was buried. He descended into hell. The third day he rose again from the dead. He ascended into heaven and sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty.
From thence he will come to judge the living and the dead.
## I believe in the Holy Spirit
the holy Christian Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.
## THE GOSPEL LESSON
## THE PRAYERS
## THE LORD'S PRAYER
All: on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread;
Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come, thy will be done and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever and ever. Amen.
## THE ANNOUNCEMENTS
## THE BLESSING
Pastor:
The Lord bless you and keep you. The Lord make his face shine on you and be gracious to you. The Lord look upon you with favor and give you peace.
Congregation:
Amen.
Pastor:
Christ is risen!
Congregation:
He is risen indeed! Alleluia!

## Ashland Planning Board Meeting
## Amended Minutes Wednesday, June 27, 2018
CALL TO ORDER:
Mardean Badger, Chair of the Planning Board, called the meeting to order at 6:35 PM.
MEMBERS PRESENT:
Mardean Badger, Susan MacLeod, Leigh Sharps
OTHERS PRESENT:
Alan Cilley, Christine Cilley.
## DISPOSITION OF MINUTES
The minutes of the Wednesday, June 6, 2018 Planning Board meeting were reviewed. Leigh Sharps made a motion to approve the minutes as amended. Susan MacLeod seconded the motion. The vote was 3-0.
## RULES OF PROCEDURE
The Planning Board reviewed our Rules of Procedure ( last amended in 2013) in comparison with the sample Rules of Procedure provided by the NH OSI (Office of Strategic Initiatives). The Board made minor changes including the updating of days, times and locations of meetings. One change will be the insertion of two statements regarding changes in the NH RSA:91-A:2 which relate to the posting of meeting notices and minutes on the town's website. Revised rules will be approved at the next meeting.
## APPLICATION FOR SITE PLAN REVIEW
The Board reviewed the application for Site Plan Review (last updated in 2014). Changes were made in the days, times and locations of meetings. The Board added a clarification in Section 5 that 'Notices' payment includes property owners, agent, abutters and professional. A motion was made by Susan MacLeod and seconded by Leigh Sharps that an electronic copy of the site plan MUST (previously may) be submitted with the application. The motion was approved 3-0. The revised form will be approved at the Board's next meeting.
## BUILDING REGULATIONS REVIEW
The Board reviewed the updated Building Regulations. All the changes of the Building Regulations approved at the March 13, 2018 Town Meeting are included. Crossed out portions of Articles 10 and 15 will be deleted as approved by the ballot. Minor typos will be referred to the Town Office for correction. The Board noted several issues that need further discussion and which may be possible changes to regulations to be considered by ballot in March of 2019. The Board will need to discuss possible changes and proper wording to Article 3.5 with the Fire Chief, to Article 4 (list of fees) and Article 6 for updates to building code references.
## ZONING ORDINANCE REVIEW
The Board reviewed the zoning ordinances. The Board will continue to review the zoning ordinances for accuracy in re-typing. The Board questioned the deletion of the paragraph describing the IndustrialCommercial zone at the end of section 2.2b, as this was not part of any warrant article change.
Topics of discussion were noted for possible changes for the March 2019 ballot. The Board will discuss further changes to the definition of Commercial Zones and Industrial Zones. It was also suggested that the document 'Zoning Districts, Town of Ashland (December 2002)' should be referenced in the Zoning Ordinance as an appendix. They will review, update and review for accuracy the section on
Signs and consistency of all sign references in all sections of the Zoning Ordinances. The Board will review the issues of Flood Plain, Home Occupation, Special Exception (referencing the time period by RSA).
## CODE ENFORCEMENT REVIEW
The Board noted a few locations with excessive signage and will continue the discussion at a future meeting.
The Planning Board meeting on Wednesday, July 11 will include a public hearing for a boundary line adjustment for three properties in the Squam River Landing (EHFAR) development.

Leigh Sharps made a motion to adjourn. Susan MacLeod seconded the motion. The motion passed 3-0. The meeting adjourned at 8:05 PM.

As the world's largest asset manager, you'd be hard-pressed to find an investment professional who is unaware of BlackRock. But as a provider of alternative investments - of which BlackRock is in the top 5 globally - the firm had an opportunity to increase awareness. To accomplish this, their marketing team set out to raise awareness and generate demand for BlackRock alternative investments on LinkedIn.

## Targeting with precision: BlackRock and LinkedIn
' ' The success of running this whole campaign through LinkedIn was attributable to the combination of thoughtfulness and time spent on target sizing, the dedicated content-led effort, and developing the right content for the right audience at the right time.
Laura Tyrholm
Global Head of Alternatives Marketing
## How it worked
BlackRock turned to LinkedIn knowing their institutional investor audience was active and engaged on the platform. According to Investing in the Digital Age research, LinkedIn is considered the best place for in-depth learning among the institutional investor audience.1
To reach them, BlackRock used a combination of targeting tactics, including
- company targeting
- industry targeting
- job title targeting
- skills targeting
<!-- image -->
## From interest to action with quality content
BlackRock designed its content to achieve two primary objectives: raise awareness and generate leads. For awareness, they used timely market commentary and brand-driven assets. For lead generation, they leveraged value-add thought leadership. The result was a rich framework of content that appealed to the interests and needs of BlackRock's professional investor audiences.
To promote this content, BlackRock used a combination of Sponsored Content, Video, Conversation Ads, and Lead Gen Forms. This multi-format approach proved a key component of the campaign's success, with audience members exposed to several touchpoints driving higher CTRs and lead form completion rates.
Members exposed to both Sponsored Content and Conversation Ads had higher engagement than those that weren't:
' ' Even when you're targeting a professional audience, the types of content that resonate best are those with a human element and conversational tone.

## Rebecca Bessey
This is a final development plan application for six duplexes on Riverview C lots, C1-C6. We reviewed this application under the old code as well as against the major amendment to the PUD that you all heard at your last meeting. If this is to be approved, it would be contingent upon approval of the second reading of that PUD amendment.
We found that the proposal complies with the PUD standards as proposed to be amended with the exception of Lot C5 just falling short of the minimum lot coverage requirement. We've added a condition of approval that indicates that prior to building permit on that lot they would have to demonstrate that they could meet that lot coverage standard. As long as they were still in substantial conformance with the final development plan before you tonight, we felt that would be an appropriate way to move forward on that standard for that particular lot.
The applicant is requesting a ten-year vesting period. The standard vesting period for a final development plan is three years with the potential for an administrative extension of either two or three years. If the ten-year proposal is approved, that would be subject to a development agreement that would lay out that vesting period, and there would be no administrative extensions of that ten-year period.
Staff is recommending approval of the project subject to the conditions in the packet.

## Lu Beaker, Applicant Representative
We did have some good conversations with staff that helped guide us through the city codes and processes trying to find the right fit for this project that met both the PUD guidelines and requirements on a prescriptive basis but also met the qualitative standards within this very strategic site.
This particular site has another benefit in addition to being in walking distance of everything downtown offers in that it's got about 900 feet of the Yampa. So you have the feel of an urban environment but can quickly detach from that and be in a pastoral river frontage. So these duplexes have obligations to satisfy both the character of a river home as well as an urban setting.
We do a lot of work in the mountains and resort communities but also in authentic communities - not just Vail and Aspen but places that grew up out of a heritage and rustic culture that's embedded in this place. What is attractive about Steamboat in many ways to me is that rustic character in that things feel worn and they age graceful, and it's not too precious. The buildings here and the spirit of downtown is very much celebrating an active lifestyle. This idea of refined is to me emerging, but I really embrace that kind of rustic character that you all have.
Architecture downtown I think is rich and vibrant and walkable and pedestrian. Tectonically, it's diverse with wood and stone/masonry buildings. The new buildings are still reflective of history maybe a bit reinterpreted, but they still have that walkable scale and pedestrian focus. But there are anomalies with buildings that are eclectic and forward-looking in this community. There's a lot of rehab and construction downtown. The Olympian has more of a mountain heritage with timber and glass and starts to be more grand and open to the views. The fire station is being embraced and built upon and celebrated, as well as some of the more residential and transition scale as you move closer to the river frontage with both the material palates and forms and composition of form. I think it's neat to think of what the emerging character of downtown Steamboat is.
Looking at more of the mass and scale, the buildings along Lincoln are bigger and more urban, and the character of buildings along Yampa start to break down and become more residential and scattered with the green spaces and river views coming through. In the overall Riverview PUD there was a lot of conversation about creating public access along 5 th and 4 th to the river frontage. That was something we used as a launch point when we started thinking about duplex designs was could we create an architecture that also started to break apart with six duplexes and a total of twelve residences versus a single multi-family type of thing that would group those together. Could we create these view corridors and start to bring the greenscape up and through the buildings to activate the loop road and give visual access through the site much like you were doing with the PUD requirements of public access along the edges.
The loop road has an urban character, and it is public access so people will be traversing back and forth. The character of the site and the landscape from street trees and the things that are within city standards of the intervals, plantings and snow storage exists along that. But as one moves from the loop road to the river frontage, the landscape transitions from a more structured area to a more organic and wild with the cottonwoods and willows all the way to the Yampa and aspens and transitioning landscapes and these

## FINAL MINUTES
green fingers between the duplexes. It's important to me that the overall built environment isn't just architecture but contributes to the public realm in a significant way as well.
As part of the Duplex Standards, buildings should architecturally represent a single-family structure, and the dwellings shall not mirror each other. Mirroring was a big conversation we had. What strategies in architecture, both in materials and forms and detail, could we incorporate in the actual architecture to start to offset this idea that buildings should not be a mirror of each other. The criteria in the code talks about duplex garages must be set back, so the ground floor garages are set back from the upper floors by a minimum of five feet to create more car storage on the driveway but also create that offset. Each front entrance must include a porch and covered entry. It's not just an entry that comes through a garage door, but visitors could come up to your front door and ring the bell like a regular home. Each side of the duplex must differ in at least two of the six design elements. The first way of satisfying that was that there's actually two types of duplexes: a Riverview Model A, which is a little bit shallower and a little wider, and a Model B which is a little skinnier and deeper. Those came out of the site constraints and looking at the way the site flared and bowed with the river frontage.
One of the criteria that allow the duplexes not to read as a mirror image is the silhouette of the roof lines. Each half of the duplex has a planned shift of 3.5 feet down the centerline of the buildings. That allows the shadow lines in the roof to pull forward, and then as the buildings get closer to the gap between the units, they start to step back. So what we're trying to do is not to create a smooth line of that silhouette but actually break that up to create more vertical proportion and architectural silhouetting at the top line. Secondarily, you'll see the step between the ground floor, step-back at the garage, the middle floor mass, and in Model A, a third-floor step-back that erodes the corner to further articulate a secondary roof line and break that up as one moves along the loop road frontage.
Another criteria in the Duplex Design Criteria is massing and building projections. I found inspiration in a building that already exists downtown of that garage step-back and pulling lines forward to create both shadow and that idea of the loft or that projected bay. So one half of the duplex projects forward, and the second half is recessed back in Model B.
One of the duplexes starts to create more of that two-story vertical expression that then does that significant step-back at the third floor; the second duplex type starts to really stair-step the building even further away from the river frontage along the living room bays and then has a center mass. The goal of this is to create a lot more of a built-upon or stacked effect versus just the smooth facades that are uninterrupted.
Entry was a criteria that should be considered as creating individuality. So within each type of duplex, one half of the duplex would be the entry doors coming in where the doorbell is. They would be rendered in a glass and more transparent way with a frosted glass garage door. The duplex on the other half would have the front door and garage door rendered in solid materials with different pattern. Secondarily, we would hope that property owners would start to personalize spaces with landscaping and planters and get that pride of ownership that you would have at your typical front door.
The duplex criteria suggests that the buildings should be read as a single kind of material but a variety in terms of the textures and colors and patterns of how those materials are applied. For Duplex A, this is a cement board - very eco material - durable, fireproof, mold/mildew, doesn't fade. Very appropriate for
FINAL MINUTES Planning Commission Minutes June 7, 2018
## FINAL MINUTES
alpine mountain climates; rendered in a darker wood tone and then a lighter tone for the other half. As the third floor steps back, start to break those materials to further create that articulation. The exterior material palate is finished with some residential-grade Sierra Pacific aluminum-clad wood windows, very appropriate for the amount of sunshine in an alpine climate; metal, flat roof with snow storage on the roof versus shedding snow onto public ways or shoveling; designing roofs that can hold snow versus sloughing it off into the gaps between the buildings or onto areas where pedestrians are walking; using a lot of low-slope roofs and standing seam; the underside of the roofs would be wood to create some of that warm glow of materials.
It renders a little naked when you just look at the buildings and think about just a couple little bushes along the front edge of the loop road, but it's important to also understand that in the package we've submitted as part of the FDP we have landscape planting plans and hardscape plans that include the character and variety of color and different vegetation from ash along the loop road, to the front-yard trees which would be aspen, and then the myriad of perennials and the different colors along the loop road frontage. So our hope is that this still feels rich and textural appropriate to the river frontage. Along the river, standing up on a raft in the river, the architecture starts to be fairly transparent with some different massing and the lifted roof forms on the top floor. Equally important to that is that the landscaping that exists to really foreground between the river and these residences does a lot to actually obscure the architecture from the river frontage. So I think that it doesn't become as abrupt as you imagine traversing along the river frontage when you filter it with the views of the vegetation, which also adds to that level of privacy and richness.
Scully: I was at the Monday session, so I thought I'd proactively speak to the vesting. Why ten years? I would submit the following five points:
While it's six duplex structures, it is twelve homes. They are more expensive homes; they're going to sell slower; I think more than five years would be anyone's bet.
Just as importantly is the architectural integrity of what we're trying to do along the river, which is to create that variability but also that consistency and integrity that I think will be a beautiful presentation along the river.
The seasonality here just slows you down.
If there's a recession, it's easy to lose three years in that window, especially when you have a phased project like this.
We just finished selling out Howelsen Place and Alpenglow; unfortunately, they were built ten years ago; obviously, the recession dictated five of those years.
Of course, we'll meet all current building codes; fire/life safety; whatever is in place at that point in time. It's really just the architectural integrity we want to have stand the test of time.
## QUESTIONS FROM COMMISSIONERS
Commissioner Eck:
All we got in the packet was that longer vesting may be approved through a development agreement. Do we have criteria to consider this, or it's just whatever?
Bessey: The code establishes the standard vesting period; it says a longer vesting period may be requested and approved through a development agreement. That request is required to come in with the
FINAL MINUTES Planning Commission Minutes June 7, 2018
## FINAL MINUTES
development plan; they can't come in later and ask for it. But there are no criteria, so it's really based on the applicant's reason for the request and if you feel that's appropriate.
## Commissioner Kingston
What was the rationale behind the three years in the code?
Bessey: I think many years ago there was no specific time period in the code. Prior to 2001, I believe there was lifetime vesting. That became problematic, so in 2001 when the CDC was rewritten there were these specific timeframes included with the potential that Council and Planning Commission could approve a longer period for specific reasons. Why we landed on three years versus two or four, I don't know.
Eck: Can one side of a duplex get a CO with the other side being incomplete?
Bessey: They'll construct an entire duplex at one time.
Beaker: To get a CO we require all the life safety conformance and all that for the full building, so we couldn't leave the other half that's not completed in a condition that is unsafe.
Bessey: I believe it requires two building permits, but Lu is correct that the Building Department has minimum requirements that would have to be met in order to sign off on a CO for one side.
Eck: Does staff feel that the condition regarding the 35% for that one lot is sufficient? I was asking about that on Monday because in reading that, I was confused about what needed to happen following this.
Bessey: They're at 34 on that site. In speaking with the architects, they felt that there were some pretty minimal changes to the footprint of that building that they could make in order to bring that lot into compliance. Often times we see slight changes to a building when it comes through for building permit, because once they get their development plan approved they go to construction drawings, and sometimes things are tweaked. We have a review that we do when a building permit comes through, and we look at it to make sure that the permit meets our code. In addition to that, we look at what's proposed in the building permit application and compare it to what was approved in the development plan to make sure that it's in substantial conformance and that they don't come back with something drastically different and out of conformance with what Planning Commission and City Council approved. In talking with the applicant's team, we felt that with that condition we are making it clear that we expect that the lot will comply with the standards and fall within substantial conformance.
## Commissioner Ptach
Does staff have a position on the ten-year vesting?
Bessey: We didn't take a strong stand on that one way or the other. I think we heard more tonight from the applicant regarding their reasoning for their request.
Kingston: Is there a precedent on ten-year vesting up front when it's more than330% more than what's stipulated in the code? That's an exceptionally-large jump from three years to ten years. Given that
FINAL MINUTES Planning Commission Minutes June 7, 2018
## FINAL MINUTES
applicants can request extensions in the context of a recession or a change in the market, why are we doing this if there is no precedent historically for a 330% increase in the vesting period?
Bessey: I think that there have been projects that have been approved for longer periods of time up to ten years.
## Commissioner Levy
Any this small, though? I think they were all much larger, more complex projects to be honest.
Bessey: I hesitate to speak to that because I can't say definitively offhand, but I thought that The Crawford project had an extending vesting period - it was five units, I think.
Ptach: Is your crystal ball clear enough that this design is going to stand the test of ten years, or if you get four of them built, will you be looking for an amendment to the approved plan for something?
Scully: We're kind of making that bet now. We're also setting HOA Design Standards for all of Riverview, which is big. It will be consistent with what you see here, and if it is to change, we would have to go through that amendment process. So we are comfortable with that.
Ptach: I think this is certainly what the market is looking for these days, but as you know, in ten years markets can change rather drastically.
Scully: Yes. But there's so many scenarios where ten years would be relevant to this piece of this puzzle, because it is a big puzzle. I could see the right half getting done first; God willing a hotel behind it coming second; and then the balance coming thereafter. It really is putting this whole thing together that will govern how these are built. That's why we asked for ten years.
## Bob Weiss, Applicant Representative
I've been dealing with this issue for four decades. At one point the city's process was to allow one-year extensions indefinitely. There were projects I remember that I got 20 extensions. I can't recall that anyone ever built one, but it was used as a hammer. The applicant would come in and say: This was approved 20 years ago; nobody liked it; we've been getting these single-year extensions for 20 years. If you don't approve this, we're going to build this because we don't have any other choice.
There was a reaction to that when the code was revised.
The other thing that happened was one generation of code said: If you finish the first phase, you have an indefinitely vested project.
That was deemed to be inappropriate.
So what we ended up with was this three years business but the allowance to go to ten. I think with the expectation that given the complexity of the project, the expectation of the price point, market conditions as they might evolve, that Planning Commission and City Council could allow up to ten years. It's not really 330% because you can extend by application up to six. The three-year extension is generally granted in my experience. So we're really going from six to ten. I think the reason this is important to this applicant is because the certainty is important if you're dealing with other people that might buy lots,that might be interested in building here, you want to have a plan in place that will dictate what's going to be built so you have architectural consistency. If this plan expires, there's no approval on the site and you have a subdivided duplex lot. That means somebody could come in and struggle with

a design that's inappropriate. So I think from the city's standpoint and the developer's standpoint as well, it's better to have the extended vesting period so everybody knows what's going to be built on this property in a reasonable timeframe that the market can absorb.
Buccino: What kind of price point are you talking about for these?
Scully: With current construction pricing, about 900 per foot, 3300 square feet per townhome, you're about $2.85 million with a two-car garage. So 2.5-$3 million I would say.
Levy: I think for the most part the reason for vesting is in case our plans and our vision change. That way the development plan doesn't outlast or overlap a new vision. But with a PUD, what would a new vision actually affect? Aren't all the architectural standards already in place? If we were to change our whole vision for downtown, their PUD is vested indefinitely, is it not?
Bessey: It is. There's potential to amend PUD's, but I think that's a fair point to make. The infrastructure that's going to serve these lots is going to be completed as part of their plat and PUD requirements. So even if some of our infrastructure requirements changed, it wouldn't impact a future development plan on these sites significantly. Most of their standards are included in the PUD, but there are a number of standards such as the duplex and landscape standards that do fall back to our code. So there's some potential that some of those could change.
In listening to some of the comments from the applicant just now and hearing the question about other vesting extensions for other larger projects, some thoughts that came to my mind:
It is only six duplexes, but if you think of that, it's six separate buildings. When you have a multi-family project, once you decide to build you're building -- a building with a larger number of units in it at one time; they're all built, whether they're all sold up front or not. Just seeing how these aren't likely going to be built until they're sold, and we have six different buildings that have to go at different times, I do think that that's something to consider.
I think it's our vision as well as the applicants that this whole Subzone C was going to develop as one cohesive development. I don't think anyone envisioned that these would develop as completely separate lots with very different-looking duplexes on them but that they are developed as one cohesive development; it may just take more time for that to be completed.
Kingston: I just worry about having a semi-finished construction project that's so high profile at that point in town stretching out over ten years.
Bessey: I don't think a shorter vesting period is going to make them build these faster; I think what you would potentially see is that they don't all sell and get built within a shorter period, and they have to come back with something else, which has the potential to be different.
Levy: Besides the Duplex Standards, can you think of other city codes or standards that might change that are not covered by the PUD?
Bessey: No, not anything that I think would drastically impact…
Beaker: That was a question that we wrestled with. I think building codes and energy codes do change, whether it's coming from a municipality or at a state or federal level. These are designed robustly to be

above and beyond minimum code standards, but Denver is going through a Green Roofs Initiative for flat roofs; 50% of your flat roof has to be PB or Green Roof. That could come to some of the big duplexes later. I would think that we would have to fall under those guidelines at that time we would be intending to go for building permit for that chunk of duplexes. Energy code is one that moves fairly rapidly and keeps us on our toes.
Levy: If they were to break ground in year nine, how does that affect the overall timing of the project?
Bessey: All of the buildings would have to have a building permit pulled within the vesting period.
Levy: And the building permit would only last a certain amount of time as well, correct?
Bessey: Correct.
Scully: The Metro District will be doing substantial landscaping and public space improvement before we do anything. You won't see an ugly presentation on the river, even when it's not built. We're spending $2.5 million to make it look great, which benefits all of us as we bring other investors to the site.
Kingston confirmed that if they go through the PUD amendment process five years from now, the vesting period associated with that proposal would supersede the period approved with this proposal.
## PUBLIC COMMENT
None.
## COMMISSIONER DELIBERATION/MOTION
Commissioner Ptach moved to approve FDP-17-08 with conditions 1-8 as stated with a period of ten years of vesting as specified in Condition #2.
Commissioner Eck seconded the motion.
## DISCUSSION ON MOTION
Kingston asked about the public access to the river during the ten-year period.
Bessey: As a condition of both the PUD and the preliminary plat, the applicants are going to be developing a soft-surface trail that will connect the two river access points at the terminus of 3 rd Street and 4 th Street. That infrastructure and the landscaping in the riparian buffer area will all be completed separate from this application.
Kingston: When is that period of time?
Bessey: All of those infrastructure requirements that were identified as the initial phase, including the trail and the riparian buffer as well as the river access points, will have to be completed prior to issuance of a CO for any of these duplexes.
FINAL MINUTES Planning Commission Minutes June 7, 2018
## FINAL MINUTES
Kingston asked whether that public access would be affected by construction.
Bessey: There are some provisions I believe in the easement agreements that we're still finalizing that would allow for some temporary closures potentially to some of the public access during construction. But it's based on approval by the city, so it wouldn't be shutting down the trail for ten years. But if there's a circumstance where one unit was under construction and the trail needed to be closed for safety purposes for a short period of time,that would be allowable.
Eck: Ten years for six duplexes I think is a lot. What got me here is it's a PUD; it's not going to change. Some things might change like landscaping, but their landscaping design is well above anything we could conceivably require in the next ten years. So if it wasn't a PUD I don't think I'd be supporting it, but I think it's appropriate here.
Ptach: Looking at the price point of these and knowing the market, it's taking anything over 1.5-$2 million at least a year to sell. This is new product; it may move quicker; but at 2.5-$3 million, it's not unreasonable to think that these things will take 8-10 years to fully sell out.
Buccino: I disagree. I think that they have it priced reasonable. There's not many places in Colorado that are on a river, so they have a very, very unique property. They only need twelve people to buy them; I don't think you're going to need ten years at all. If it wasn't a PUD, I probably would not agree with ten years because I don't want to start setting precedent for it. I think three years with a two or three year extension is sufficient; I think they'll sell by then. It's not going to take ten years.
Weese: I would say that it could easily take ten years. These units are not that easy to build. If there is weather involved, there could be a really large issue overall with having to wait to get these things constructed. I can see the first several units having a lot of interest and possibly selling. Irrespective of that, the applicant is right. We have market changes that are imminent; we just don't know the timing of it. Overall, it's a great project and it's going to take time to build out. Will it take ten years to sell them all? I don't know. Will it take ten years to build them all? Possibly.
Overall, I think ten years is a realistic request, especially because they're not going to come back and ask for anything else regarding the vesting period.
Levy: I tend to agree with the PUD comments. I think that overrules any future changes that might affect this property. So I don't have a problem with ten years at this time.
Kingston: I agree with the PUD comments. I've been struggling with the vesting period, but I think if the first couple units sell there's going to be incentive to build and sell the next one and the next one. If that doesn't occur as quickly, then obviously the ten-year vesting period makes some sense. I'm just concerned that this beautiful project get created from start to finish as quickly as possible. If the units sell, there's going to be no reason for you to not build the next unit to sell it, right? So I think that line of logic tells me that if you do need the ten years, it's probably for a good reason.

## D. OLD BUSINESS
## 1. Update on Per- and Poly-Fluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS)
Mr. Allen informed the Board that the District has received a Notice of Non Compliance from MA DEP for the North Acton Treatment Plant. The quarterly average of PFAS concentration for the first quarter exceeded the 20 ppt. A response is required within 30 days, July 9, 2021, with a plan to address the problem. Mr. Allen indicated that the District has altered pumping schemes, and that the May sample was at 19.9 ppt. Mr. Mostoller informed the Board that the plant is currently not serving water to customers. June sample results have not been received yet. The South Acton treatment plant sample for May was 16 ppt. Mr. Allen updated the Board on the progress of the PFAS working group. Currently, they are researching alternate supply, including bottle filling stations, rebates to those in the sensitive sub-population for purchase of bottled water, and temporary treatment for the North Acton treatment plant. Ms. Selesnick asked if there were considering rebates for treatment for residents. Mr. Allen indicated that currently that is not being discussed.
## 2. Update on the proposed solar arrays off Lawsbrook Road &amp; Knox Trail
Mr. Allen provided an update on the solar projects. EDF will be mobilizing to the Lawsbrook Road site within the next 2 weeks. Construction is expected to be completed by the end of 2021, with commissioning in early 2022. The alternate on bill credit agreement is still under negotiation. The Knox Trail site is in the conceptual design phase. The Lawsbrook Road site will be completed first and then they will move on to Knox Trail. The PILOT for Knox Trail still needs to be negotiated with the Town of Acton. It will be a direct municipal benefit for the Knox Trail site, as the District will take all of the power generated. This should simplify the PILOT negotiation.
## E. NEW BUSINESS

Mr. Allen will ask the Town of Acton to advertise on their electronic sign boards. Mr. Allen said that employees regularly police for violators, usually in the early morning hours. Customer are warned, then fined, starting at $50 and escalating to $200. There are also a number of private irrigation wells in town. Mr. Mostoller reminded the Board that with the Water Management Act Permit up for renewal this year, the irrigation program may be impacted.
## 2.Meeting Schedule for July - December 2021
Mr. Allen presented the schedule for the remainder of 2021. The schedule currently lists 2 meetings a month for the summer, due to the ongoing PFAS issues.
The Commonwealth of Massachusetts has extended the option of virtual meetings through April 2022. The Board will continue with remote meetings until that time.

## The Visual Meeting
## Tools For Radical Engagement
A talk by Guillaume Wiatr, Principal &amp; Founder of MetaHelm
## Introduction
Someone schedules a meeting, and you're in charge. So what's the first thing you do? Open up a PowerPoint template? That might be the correct answer, but what if, rather than showing the audience a static product, you took them through an involving process? What if you built the visuals as you went along with markers, paper, whiteboards, and your own humble drawing skills? We've done it and seen it, and the result is a more engaged audience that contributes better ideas and remembers what you've shown them. If you can put a stick figure down on paper, you can run a better meeting, and we'll gladly show you how.
## Description
Let's start by saying it again: You don't have to be the least bit capable of drawing to start running more involving, more visually stimulating meetings. Guillaume will prove that throughout this talk as he takes you through a mix of examples and case studies while loosening PowerPoint's death grip on your way of running meetings.
## What attendees will learn
- Why real-time visual meeting facilitation works better than pre-produced slides.
- Fundamental principles of visual facilitation.
- When to draw and when to use PowerPoint.
- Getting comfortable with drawing even if you've convinced yourself you can't draw.
- Drawing to think, drawing to facilitate, drawing to communicate.
- The low-tech, non-digital tools you need to run a successful visual meeting.
## Themes
Innovation, Strategy, Creativity, Thought Sketching, Ideation, Co-creation, Alignment, Collaboration, Leadership, Team Engagement.
## Audience
C-suite executives, Business Leaders, Strategists, Facilitators, Entrepreneurs, Founders, Innovators, Startup Creators, Team Leaders, Inventors.
## Format
In-person or virtual.
Speaking engagement of 15 t0 60 minutes, available in English or French.

New Energy Solutions Optimised for Islands Country Islands

- ' ' The project has the potential to significantly reduce air pollutants, both locally in Orkney and in the mainland events switching from portable diesel generators to green hydrogen
## What is the project about?
- The Orkney Island archipelago has abundant wind and marine resources and currently produces more electricity than it consumes. Orkney has also become a UK leader in the adoption of green hydrogen. Future expansion of local renewables and hydrogen production on Orkney is limited by the relatively small size of local markets, electricity interconnector constraints and the lack of transport mechanisms for moving hydrogen from the Island to the mainland.
- The project is a feasibility study aiming to identify a safe and viable transport logistic solution for the transportation of green hydrogen gas produced on Orkney to the mainland with the aim of replacing diesel fuelled generators with a zero carbon and zero pollution alternative.
## How will the EU Islands Facility NESOI support the project?
- Assessment of local green hydrogen production potential
- Identification of suitable technological options for green hydrogen storage in Orkney and transportation
- Cost Benefit analysis; socio-economic and environmental impact evaluation
- Health, Safety and Risk analysis for the identified solutions
- Business modelling and identification of target stakeholders to kick-off a green hydrogen value chain in Orkney
- Identification of financing/funding options
- Action plan for the roll-out of a green hydrogen value chain in Orkney
NESOI contact: Stefano Barberis, RINA Consulting, stefano.barberis@rina.org

Re: 2021-2024 Diga Revised Joint Management Proposal
Dear Jody Pellissey,
The Dehq~ Renewable Resources Council (DRRC) has concerns regarding the joint proposal by Environmental and Natural Resources (ENR) and TljchQ Government (TG) entitled "Revised Joint Proposal on Management Actions for Wolves (diga) on the Bathurst and Bluenose-East Barren-ground Caribou (nkwr;,) Herd Winter Ranges: 2021 -2024."
For many years now, Dehq~ and other Sahtu communities have been expressing their concerns regarding diga (wolf) culls to ENR and co-management bodies including the Sahtu Renwable Resources Board (SRRB) and the Wek'eezhii Renewable Resources Board (WRRB). At the 2016 SRRB hearing on Bluenose East, Elders from all 5 Sahtu communities described the important relationship between diga and 1ekw~ (caribou). The Elders explained that the diga keep the 1ekwlr populations healthy, that killing all the diga might actually wipe out the 1ekw~. and that the diga must be respected. This relationship is also described in Dehqfs Belarew1 ie Gots'~ 7ekw~, or caribou conservation plan, which was formally approved as a community conservation plan by the SRRB and was accepted and endorsed by the Minister of the Environment and Natural Resources in 2016.

Ph: (867) 589-4224 Fax: (867) 589-4230
drrc <manager@gov.deline.ca>
The DRRC is concerned that ENR and TG's joint proposal has not considered the perspective of Sahtu Dene Elders. The DRRC does not believe that aerial shooting is respectful of the diga, and is concerned that this approach will not protect 7ekw~. In addition to being opposed to this specific method of diga culls, the DRRC is opposed to any diga culls occurring in or near the overlap area between the DehqCr and WRRB boundaries.
The DRRC requests information on where the diga culls will be occurring and what impact they will have on diga within the Dehq1r area specifically and within the Sahtu region generally. The DRRC requests that the WRRB hold a full hearing to ensure that there is sufficient consultation on this matter of great importance to the DehqCr Got'tQCr·
Sincerely,

## IV. Overall outcomes from the day
The main objective of the session was for the AESO to present its recommendations for DOS modernization. Participants engaged in discussion and overall, stakeholders agreed that more clarity was needed to achieve a better understanding of the modernized DOS.
## V. Session highlights
Captured below are the highlights of the questions and discussion on a topic-by-topic basis. For a detailed review of the session, please refer to the session recording, posted at <https://www.aeso.ca>.
Topic 1: DOS 101 - how the current DOS rate works today
## i. Stakeholder Commentary
- Clarifying comments:
- o Solas Energy: Does the AESO use economic thresholds for any other connection load or generation?
- o ERCO: Could you provide the timing of the AESO's review of the DOS application? Days? Weeks?
- o AltaSteel: Does the AESO have any historic numbers of MW applied for and granted in the DOS?
- o Best Consulting: On Slide 27 (Current DOS usage request process), how are there only two reasons for denial listed when there is supposed to be an economic case?
- o CanREA: Are there other services where a lack of compliance can result in loss of access to the service?
- o TransAlta: If the AESO disqualifies a DOS customer as a consequence of an audit, is there a dispute resolution mechanism in place?
## ii. AESO Clarification
- Response to clarifying comments:
- o DOS is the only rate that requires economic thresholds.
Enter Footer
<!-- image -->
- o Regarding application review, the AESO takes 30 days from receipt of the application to approval.
- o Regarding the historic numbers of MW of applied for DOS, these numbers can be found on Slide 90 (Historical DOS statistics) of the presentation.
- o Regarding Slide 27, this slide is not about eligibility, it is about transaction requests.
- o Regarding lack of compliance within other services, there are provisions within the ISO tariff that allow the AESO to terminate Demand Transmission Service (DTS).
- o The AESO has a process for dispute resolution set out in the ISO rules.
## Topic 2: Recap of AESO conclusions on non-firm rates
## i. Stakeholder commentary
- Clarifying Questions:
- o ADC: Has the AESO studied the stress conditions with and without the response of the price responsive load?
- o IPCAA: Is the AESO forecasting load on the system or is the new issue forecasting generation on the system? In 2014 the AESO was forecasting for 2025, 16,318 MW of Alberta Internal Load (AIL) on the system, in 2019 it was forecasting 12,803 MW of AIL on the System, a decrease of over 3500 MW of AIL.
- o Weyerhaeuser: Can the AESO provide their information for load forecasting at an individual point-of-delivery (POD)?
- o Alberta Newsprint: After listening to the AESO, there's a stronger case for an interruptible rate. What I'm hearing is that the AESO did not build the system for the average load during stress conditions. Then, the argument is that some loads should not be paying the average transmission charges because the AESO did not build the system for the average load.
- o Solas Energy: Does the extreme conditions include 24x7 solar production at max. capacity and wind at max. from all facilities on an 8760 basis?
- o ADC: It seems like the AESO is aligned with the concept of coincident peak (CP); the concern is then the value. In the absence the study of the system with and without price responsive load at times of system stress, how can the value of the CP charge be adequately determined? There is some real value that happens in real time with the behaviour of particular loads. What would happen without these price responsive loads behaving as they do today?
- o Suncor: The AESO takes into account the diversity of load and does not stack DTS capacities, which implies that some customers add to the transmission system stress more than others independent of their contract capacity or total energy consumption. Coincidence/correlation among customers is clearly a system planning driver and should therefore be a cost driver and be appropriately reflected in rates.

## ii. AESO clarification
- Response to clarifying questions:
- o The AESO continues to forecast both load and generation. Looking forward, we are not going to be seeing load growing as much. The reinforcements to serve load are very small regional developments.
- o One aspect of DOS is that there is mirror-type behaviour and capability on the system customers will want to use that capability at peak.
- o Regarding POD level forecasting, the AESO provides some high-level details of POD level forecasting when we release the long-term outlook. However, at the level of individual PODs, there is some commercially sensitive information - that is why the AESO has not historically released POD information.
- o The AESO creates study conditions for a range of planning activities to drive longer term plans. The AESO sees interruptible rates as being locationally driven. If an interruptible rate was provided in a specific region, it would be locationally specific where providing the rate would relieve the constraint. The specificity of an interruptible rate does not align with the postage stamp constraints that the AESO is trying to operate within.
- o In creating study conditions, the likely output of solar and wind are included. We have to identify what the right combination for solar and wind snapshot conditions are.
- o Under the current embedded cost allocation method and the one the AESO is recommending, there are a set of costs that have been deemed prudent to recover. It is a construct that is looking to align cost recovery with billing determinants and rates that get as close as possible to cost causation principles.
Topic 3: Key highlights of AESO's DOS modernization recommendation
## i. Stakeholder commentary
- Clarifying comments:
- o CanREA: On Slide 16 (The origins of DOS circa 2001), can the AESO explain using "Cost Causation" to determine the rate when the original principle was that the rate should be based on value not costs?
- o Power Advisory: On Slide 51 (Annual term for DOS) - any customer using DOS rate would have to have a must bid requirement. But your proposal for market participation said you could choose either to bid or not.
- o ADC: I would like to understand the second last bullet on Slide 51. If your load is 29 MW, would your load not be compliant?
## ii. AESO clarification
- Response to clarifying comments:
- o Regarding Slide 16, this slide references that DOS is supportive of cost causation principles. DOS does not cause costs and therefore having a rate that is based on value, aligns with cost causation principles.

- o Regarding Slide 51, the AESO's proposal for energy storage market participation said customers could choose either to bid or not. But we believe the best way to modernize the transaction portion of DOS is to have DOS moved into real time operations.
- o Regarding the second last bullet on Slide 51, what the AESO was trying to highlight here is that if your load was at 20 MW, the settlement of DOS relies on metered volume. So, if your metered volume never got up to your DTS contract capacity, that energy would still be charged under DTS. When responding to a bid, the dispatch instruction is based on where your load is currently at and where you were dispatched from a compliance perspective.
## Topic 4: AESO's DOS modernization recommendation
## i. Stakeholder commentary
- Some participants were concerned with the AESO's use of historical data:
- o Capital Power: Has the AESO looked at different energy storage configurations? There's a bit of concern with always using historical behaviour to predict what future behaviour will look like.
- o ADC: Given the lack of historical use of DOS, how is the historical assessment of usage relevant?
- o TransAlta: What relevance does historical DOS load have if there weren't any energy storage providers under DOS in this historical period?
- Some participants were concerned with the perceived penalization within the AESO's modernized DOS recommendation:
- o TransAlta: It seems like the AESO has designed two penalties - the DOS customer that consumes above the rate is curtailable/interruptible and then also incurs the same cost as a DTS customer. If you charge the customer DTS, why would they be curtailable today (isn't this rate design discriminatory)?
- o TransAlta: Why is the AESO concerned about load customer dispatch compliance (why is it an issue if the customer doesn't consume their full DOS)? I'm not understanding the penalty on the customer's ability to get DOS in the future if they have already been ratcheted in the past.
- o ADC: With respect to meeting the dispatch requirements, this is problematic because if you're paying for DTS service for 20 MWs, you are offered 10 MWs and only use 5 MW, why would you have to dispatch below your DTS capacity? You shouldn't be required to interrupt below your firm level.
- o ASCENT Energy: Regarding the energy market versus DOS tariff charge - is it fair to say that one can only get the DOS rate (and avoid a DTS ratchet) if they bid (rather than give notice)? In the current DOS tariff, you have to give notice that you're planning to access your DOS - that's being replaced by the bidding process. If you fail to bid, you'll just run over your DTS limit, set a new ratchet and your bill will be bigger?

- o TC Energy: On the business case piece, what I worry about is the subjectivity associated with it. Two parties might submit business cases that are similar and one might end up being eligible for DOS and the other might not be. How does the AESO plan to address that?
- o TC Energy: If a new revenue stream becomes available for a facility that bumps you above 20 per cent, they might now get pushed off DOS to DTS, which means you'll have to forego the new revenue stream. Can the AESO bump it up to 25 per cent to allow for more flexibility?
- o Best Consulting: What would your bid be at various points on the graph on Slide 63 (DOS maximum load factor - Example)?
- o Capital Power: Given the 20 per cent load factor is an annual measure, and settlement is monthly. How will this be performed? Will the AESO have to retroactively adjust its billings if load exceeds the 20 per cent?
- o Solas Energy: Would you expect energy storage to use Supply Transmission Service (STS) and DOS or would DOS be used for charging and discharging?
- o Capital Power: At what stage in the AESO's connection process would it assess a DOS request?
- o CCA: Given that DOS capacity is not planned, what is the mechanism for recall in the event of transmission stress situations? I note that energy market dispatchability is purely an energy market issue and not a transmission one.
- o Solas Energy: What is the AESO trying to achieve with DOS? What's the design based on (i.e., other jurisdictions)? Why do you need the application with commercially sensitive information? Are you bidding in the rate of change of charge or are you bidding in the absolute?
- o Chapman Ventures: If there was a limitation on the system that wasn't just related to having firm capacity, there would be instance where STS wouldn't be available as well. All things equal, would that be a decision left to the project proponent?
- o ATCO: Looking for clarification on the maximum annual DOS limit of 20 per cent. For a load contracted at 10 MW DTS, is the maximum annual 20 per cent load factor calculated as: (a) 10 MW x 20% x 8760 = 17,520 MWh or (b) 10 MW x 80% x 8760 x 0.2 = 14,016 MWh? Is the annual DOS limit applied monthly as the above number divided by 12?
- o Alberta Newsprint: We're making it very cumbersome on the load - we'll end up with a similar issue that we have now that not a lot of people will take to DOS.
- o ADC: The DOS tariff was presented as a potential opportunity for the most impacted customers. But now that the AESO has introduced the 20 per cent load requirement, it would put DOS out of eligibility for those customers. Where did the 20 per cent come from?
- o ADC: Would there be any possibility just for the DOS to be a standard bid in the energy market? Could you just not have the 10 MW bid in and when you use it you use it?
- o Best Consulting: As DOS is an opportunity service and transmission won't be built for it, what would you do if a firm load showed up and wanted to use the capacity and are willing to pay DTS for it?

- o Lionstooth Energy: From a quick scan of the AESO's project list, there are about 14 storage projects in the queue. Over half (~eight) of these appear to be connecting via the Distribution system. Has the AESO had discussions with distribution facility owners (DFOs) for how DOS concepts would flow through to the DFO tariffs? Is there a concern that there will continue to be different tariff signals sent between ISO and DFO tariffs?
- o DePal Consulting: It sounds like a storage proponent might want to have a certain level of DTS because that protects them. If that's the case, that's really up to the project proponent on how much risk they want to take?
- o Suncor: Concerned about a subgroup of industry discussing rate alternatives, as rates classes should principally be open to everyone. Further, if there is financial mitigation, it will have to be financed by other ratepayers, so those ratepayers should be allowed to be at the table. Asked the AESO to consider opening up for participation outside of the targeted mitigation customers?
## ii. AESO clarification
- Response to comments regarding the perceived penalization for DOS users:
- o The AESO is not going to force customers to consume their dispatch level.
- o If a customer doesn't bid and runs over their DTS, then their bill would be bigger.
- o Regarding the perception of 'double penalties', when a customer is dispatched to provide the DOS and if they exceeded their 20 per cent, there would be no impact to their contract capacity for DTS, but the AESO would charge that portion to the DTS rate. If the customer is consuming above the DTS contract capacity outside of the DOS, that is a different assessment covered by other provisions in the ISO tariff.
- Response to clarifying comments:
- o The business case was always there for DOS. The AESO understands it is a qualitative assessment with some subjectivity. The current DOS heavily relied on the business case. We think that by adding the load factor, goes a long way to assessing the overall application and there's less emphasis based on the business case.
- o DOS is not a rate for only energy storage.
- o For energy storage there are a wide range of energy storage implementations and the AESO would have to consider these in the assessment of the business case.
- o The current bidding rules would allow you to submit the bid whenever you choose to bid. If you weren't above your DTS line and you submitted a bid, you would still have to respond to the dispatch even though it's not technically your DOS load. Settlement and dispatch aren't closely coupled because it allows customers to control both load and bid.
- o Regarding time periods, the load factor was to be an annual load factor and the settlement done on a monthly basis. There would be an adjustment made to the monthly bill to calculate that on a go forward basis.
- o The expectation is that you have to demonstrate you can operate the asset without DOS energy, under DTS. If you didn't have DOS energy, how would you ever charge your asset.

-  DOS is using capacity that is deemed excess, that capacity is recallable. You could not operate a site without at least some capability to charge and we think there's a minimum that should be chargeable by DTS if DOS was unavailable.
-  The minimum charge to DTS is part of our assessment to determine whether you're relying on DOS completely.
- o Regarding transmission stress situations, even for energy market assets, there is the possibility for constraint and the AESO has the ability to constrain down assets. We would apply the same tools to DOS loads if a local constraint were to happen.
- o There's a distinction between dispatching and settlement. The way dispatching works today is on a merit order. The controller is looking for a delta change between the time you were dispatched and the time when they expect you to change your load. That load may or may not be DOS load.
- o Regarding the targeted mitigation engagement, the AESO will be asking what parts of this proposal work and don't work for mitigation.
- o The 20 per cent load requirement is included in the proposal here so we can find the right balance between DOS and DTS in order to avoid DTS cannibalization.
- o Regarding the how DOS concepts would flow through to the DFO tariffs, the AESO hasn't completely thought through all of that, but depending on the right metering and ability to respond by the energy storage distribution connected, don't see major issues right away. There is more work to be done by the AESO on this.

ALBERT BRIDGE ROAD
THE FACE OF LONDON is changing. The banks of the River Thames, neglected for decades as they drifted into industrial decay, are again reclaiming their place in the hearts of residents and city planners alike.
Today, prestigious cultural landmarks compete for attention with luxury property developments, especially south of the river where the opening of the Tate Modern art gallery on the site of a decommissioned power station has helped tilt London's cultural centre of gravity.
Take Albion Riverside, for example.
This development is much more than a residential complex. It is designed to be the heart of a vibrant new neighbourhood, expanding modern urban living options in the busy capital.
The widely acclaimed structure, famously dubbed 'The Glass Doughnut', was designed by the world renowned and award-winning architect Lord Norman Foster, whose other masterpieces include the passenger terminal at Chek Lap Kok Airport and the HSBC building in Hong Kong, the Bilbao Metro in Spain and more recently the Swiss

Albion Riverside lies between the historic Albert and Battersea bridges, offering phenomenal views of the Thames. It has all the hallmarks of a Lord Foster creation: calm, airy interiors encased in a stunning visual exterior. 'The aluminium and glass curved design gives the building maximum view, as well as ensuring a high degree of privacy,' said Dr Edmond Ho, Executive Director and General Manager of Hutchison Whampoa Properties (Europe).
Completed in early 2004, the building has set a new standard for urban living, attracting a strong following among celebrities and the super rich normally associated with the affluent strongholds of Belgravia, Knightsbridge and Kensington north of the river. The Albion Riverside development won the Best Apartment Building award at the
Mail on Sunday Design Awards 2005.
Suddenly, the South Bank is very much in fashion. Boosted by opulent developments such as Albion Riverside, only a 10 minute walk from the shopping mecca of King's Road, the South Bank today is emerging as a new oasis of culture and style.
The sales figures speak volumes for Albion Riverside. No flashy advertising campaign or marketing gimmicks were needed in high society London where word of mouth is far more effective. The flats sold very well, attracting celebrities such as Oscar-winning composer Leslie Bricusse, golfer Colin Montgomerie and several members of the Chelsea soccer team.
Around 75 per cent of the apartments have so far been bought by UK buyers, with the remaining going to overseas buyers, Hong Kong included. It goes without saying that the feng shui is excellent.

On the more conventional retail front, elite kitchen and bathroom outfitters, Alternative Plans, have joined a leading personal training facility in the complex.

It would be wrong to suggest that Albion Riverside is a compound created just for the wealthy. As part of a new planning commitment to the local community, the mixed-use development has two other buildings. A low-rise apartment building caters for professional key workers such as nurses and teachers, while Hutchison Whampoa has its European headquarters in another separate low-rise office building on the same site, putting all its European operations including Ports, 3G, Properties and Watsons under one roof.

If Hutchison continues to take up projects on such a scale and employs the same sense of adventure, there is no doubt it will change not just the physical landscape of historical neighbourhoods but also challenge cultural perceptions about them.

## Abstract
A ( k 1 + k 2 ) -bispindle is the union of k 1 ( x, y )-dipaths and k 2 ( y, x )-dipaths, all these dipaths being pairwise internally disjoint. Recently, Cohen et al. showed that for every (2 + 0)- bispindle B , there exists an integer k such that every strongly connected digraph with chromatic number greater than k contains a subdivision of B . We investigate generalisations of this result by first showing constructions of strongly connected digraphs with large chromatic number without any (3 + 0)bispindle or (2+2)-bispindle. Then we show that for any k , there exists γ k such that every strongly connected digraph with chromatic number greater than γ k contains a (2 + 1)-bispindle with the ( y, x )-dipath and one of the ( x, y )-dipaths of length at least k .
Keywords: Digraph, chromatic number, subdivision.
## 1 Introduction
Throughout this paper, the chromatic number of a digraph D , denoted by χ ( D ), is the chromatic number of its underlying graph. In a digraph D , a directed path , or dipath , is an oriented path where all the arcs are oriented form the initial vertex towards the terminal vertex. A k -spindle is the union of k internally disjoint ( x, y )-dipaths for some vertices x and y . Vertex x is said to be the tail of the spindle and y its head . A ( k 1 + k 2 ) -bispindle is the internally disjoint union of a k 1 -spindle with tail x and head y and a k 2 -spindle with tail y and head x . In other words, it is the union of k 1 ( x, y )-dipaths and k 2 ( y, x )-dipaths, all of these dipaths being pairwise internally disjoint.
A classical result due to Gallai, Hasse, Roy and Vitaver is the following.
```text
Theorem 1.1 (Gallai [8], Hasse [9], Roy [11], Vitaver [12]) If χ ( D ) ≥ k , then D contains a dipath of length k -1 .
```
This raises the question of which digraphs are subdigraphs of all digraphs with large chromatic number.
A classical theorem by Erd˝ os [6] implies that if H is a digraph containing a cycle, there exist digraphs with arbitrarily high chromatic number with no subdigraph isomorphic to H . Thus the only possible candidates to generalise Theorem 1.1 are the oriented trees that are orientations of trees. Burr[3] proved that every ( k -1) 2 -chromatic digraph contains every oriented tree of order k and conjectured an upper bound of 2 k -2. The best known upper bound, due to Addario-Berry et al. [1], is in ( k/ 2) 2 .
However the following celebrated theorem of Bondy shows that the story does not stop there.
Theorem 1.2 (Bondy [2]) Every strongly connected digraph with chromatic number at least k contains a directed cycle of length at least k .

The strong connectivity assumption is indeed necessary, as transitive tournaments contain no directed cycle but can have arbitrarily high chromatic number.
Observe that a directed cycle of length at least k can be seen as a subdivision of /vector C k , the directed cycle of length k . Recall that a subdivision of a digraph F is a digraph that can be obtained from F by replacing each arc uv by a dipath from u to v .
Conjecture 1.3 (Cohen et al. [5]) For every cycle C , there exists a constant f ( C ) such that every strongly connected digraph with chromatic number at least f ( C ) contains a subdivision of C .
The strong connectivity assumption is also necessary in Conjecture 1.3 as shown by Cohen et al. in [5]. In the same paper, Conjecture 1.3 was confirmed for cycles with two blocks (i.e. maximal subdipaths of the cycle) and the antidirected cycle of length 4. More precisely, denoting by C ( k, /lscript ) the cycle on two blocks, one of length k and the other of length /lscript , Cohen et al. [5] proved the following.
Theorem 1.4 Every strongly connected digraph with chromatic number at least O (( k + /lscript ) 4 ) contains a subdivision of C ( k, /lscript ) .
The bound has recently been improved to O (( k + /lscript ) 2 ) by Kim et al. [10]. A subdivision of C ( k, /lscript ) can be seen as a 2-spindle made of two internally disjoint dipaths, one of length at least k and one of length at least /lscript . In this paper, we generalize this and study the existence of subdivision of spindles and bispindles in strongly connected digraphs with large chromatic number. Our first result is to give constructions for the following theorem:
Theorem 1.5 For every integer k , there exists a strongly connected digraph D with χ ( D ) &gt; k that contains no 3 -spindle and no (2 + 2) -bispindle.
Therefore, the most we can expect in all strongly connected digraphs with large chromatic number are (2 + 1)-bispindle. Let B ( k 1 , k 2 ; k 3 ) denote the (2+1)-bispindle formed by three internally disjoint paths between two vertices x, y , two ( x, y )-dipaths, one of size k 1 , the other of size k 2 , and one ( y, x )-dipath of size k 3 . We conjecture the following.
Conjecture 1.6 There is a function g : N 3 → N such that every strongly connected digraph with chromatic number at least g ( k 1 , k 2 , k 3 ) contains a subdivision of B ( k 1 , k 2 ; k 3 ) .
As an evidence, we prove the following theorem:
Theorem 1.7 For every positive integer k , there is a constant γ k such that every strongly connected digraph witch chromatic number greater than γ k contains a subdivsion of B ( k, 1; k ) .
The value of γ k is the above theorem is huge, and certainly not best possible. We get a better bound for subdivision of B ( k, 1; k ).
Theorem 1.8 Let k ≥ 3 be an integer and let D be a strong digraph. If χ ( D ) &gt; (2 k -2)(2 k -3) , then D contains a subdivision of B ( k, 1; 1) .
## 2 Proof of Theorem 1.7
Weprove Theorem 1.7 by the contrapositive. We consider a digraph D without any subdivision of B ( k, 1; k ). We shall prove that χ ( D ) ≤ γ k .
The general idea is to use the following easy lemma.
Lemma 2.1 Let D be a digraph, D 1 . . . D l be disjoint subdigraphs of D and D the digraph obtained by contracting each D i into one vertex d i . Then χ ( D ) ≤ χ ( D ) · max { χ ( D i ) | 1 ≤ i ≤ l } .
The key is to find appropriate subdigraphs D i . To do so, we consider some particular collections of directed cycles : a collection C of directed cycles is k -suitable if all cycles of C have length at least 8 k , and any two distinct cycles C i , C j ∈ C intersect on a subpath of order at most k . A component of C is a connected component of the underlying graph of the digraph C which is the union of cycles of C .
Consider C be a maximal k -suitable collection of cycles in D . Let D be the digraph obtained by contracting every strong component S of C (which is S for some component S of C ) into one vertex. For each connected component S i we call s i the new vertex created. To apply Lemma 2.1, we shall prove in the next two lemmas that for every component S of C , the digraph D [ S ] induced by D on the vertices of S has bounded chromatic number and that χ ( D ) ≤ 8 k .
Lemma 2.2 Let C be a k -suitable collection of directed cycles in a B ( k, 1; k ) -free digraph D . There exists a constant β k such that, for every component S of C , we have χ ( D [ S ]) ≤ β k .
Sketch of proof : We first consider S which is a subdigraph of D [ S ]. We prove by induction on the number of cycles in S that this digraph admits a proper colouring φ with α k = 2 · (6 k 2 ) 3 k +14 k colours satisfying the following additional property, called rainbow property : the vertices of each subpath of length at most 7 k of each cycle of S get different colours.
We then define a sort of Breadth-First-Search for S . Let C 0 be a cycle of S and set L 0 = { C 0 } . We build the levels L i inductively until all cycles of S are put in a level : L i +1 consists of every cycle C l not in j ≤ i L j such that there exists a cycle in L i intersecting C l . For every C l ∈ L i +1 , we choose one of the cycles L i intersecting it to be its father . For a vertex x of S , we say that x belongs to level L i if i is the smallest integer such that there exists a cycle in L i containing x .
We partition the arc set of D [ S ] in ( A 0 , A 1 , A 2 ), where
- A 0 is the set of arcs of D [ S ] which ends belong to the same level, and
- A 1 is the set of arcs of D [ S ] which ends belong to different levels i and j with | i -j | &lt; k .
- A 2 is the set of arcs of D [ S ] which ends belong to different levels i and j with | i -j | ≥ k .
For i ∈ { 0 , 1 , 2 } , let D i be the spanning subdigraph of D [ S ] with arc set A i . It is well-known that χ ( D [ S ]) ≤ χ ( D 0 ) × χ ( D 1 ) × χ ( D 2 ).
Clearly, χ ( D 1 ) ≤ k , and we show that χ ( D 2 ) ≤ 4 k 2 +2. To bound χ ( D 0 ) we partition the vertex set according to the above-mention colouring φ of S . Using the rainbow property, we prove that the subdigraph of D 0 induced by the vertices of colour c has chromatic number at most 2 · (4 k ) 4 k + 1 for all colour c . Hence χ ( D 0 ) ≤ (2 · (4 k ) 4 k + 1) α k . This gives the result for β k = k (4 k 2 +2)(2 · (4 k ) 4 k +1) α k . /square
## Lemma 2.3 χ ( D ) ≤ 8 k
Proof. First note that since D is strongly connected so is D .
Suppose for a contradiction that χ ( D ) &gt; 8 k . By Theorem 1.2, there exists a directed cycle C = ( x 1 , x 2 , . . . , x l , x 1 ) of length at least 8 k . For each vertex x j that corresponds to a S i in D , the arc x j -1 x j corresponds in D to an arc whose head is a vertex p i of S i and the arc x j x j +1 corresponds to an arc whose tail is a vertex l i of S i . Let P j be the dipath from p i to l i in C . Note that this path intersects the elements of S i only along a subdipath. Let C be the cycle obtained from C where we replace all contracted vertices x j by the path P j . First note that C has length at least 8 k . Moreover, a cycle of C can intersect C only along one P j , because they all correspond to different strong components of C . Thus C intersects each cycle of C on a subdipath. Moreover this subdipath has length smaller than k for otherwise D would contain a subdivision of B ( k, 1; k ). So C is a directed cycle of length at least
8 k which intersects every cycle of C along a subdipath of length less than k . This contradicts the maximality of C . /square
Using Lemma 2.1 with Claim 2.3 and Lemma 2.2, we get that χ ( D ) ≤ 8 k · β k . This proves Theorem 1.7 for γ k = 8 k · β k .

Texas issued its first license stamp in 1971 for a long-running series of dove hunting stamps. Archery hunting stamps followed in 1975 and waterfowl hunting stamps in 1981, later than most states. Three additional series were inaugurated in 1985 - trout fishing, saltwater fishing, and nongame stamps. Wild turkey hunting stamps were introduced in 1991, followed by muzzleloader hunting stamps in 1994. In 1996, the era of mandatory stamps for hunting and fishing ended, as the individual stamp series changed to voluntary collector stamps that were all printed in a single booklet pane that over time shrunk from eight stamps to seven stamps with a blank label, and finally to just six stamps. The muzzleloader collector stamp series ended in 2003. In 2004 the collector trout stamp was replaced by a collector freshwater fishing stamp and in 2005 the turkey and white-winged dove collector stamps were replaced by a collector upland game bird stamp. Finally, in 2015 the last collector booklet pane of six stamps was printed and all the stamp series ended.

As noted previously, Texas ended all mandatory license stamp series in 1995 and replaced them with collector stamps printed se-tenant in a single booklet pane. Throughout the series, the waterfowl collector stamps always occupied the top right position in the pane, so they all have straight edges at the top and right side of the stamp.

## Re: Tasmania's Child and Youth Wellbeing Strategy
We thank you for the opportunity to make a joint submission to Tasmania's Child and Youth Wellbeing Strategy Discussion Paper.
We wish to address the following excerpt from page 22 of the Discussion Paper, from our perspectives as an obstetrician and a public health researcher working in the antenatal clinics that provide pregnancy care to women at the Royal Hobart Hospital (RHH): 'Scientific research tells us that the social and environmental conditions in which families are conceiving and raising children in the first 1,000 days have a direct impact on child development. Experiences in the first thousand days influence physical and neural development and provide the building blocks for physical and mental health and wellbeing throughout life.'
We make this submission out of concern for the dire needs and lack of appropriate resourcing to best support pregnant women attending RHH antenatal care services.
At the Royal Hobart Hospital in 2020, 656 women attending for antenatal care (approximately one third of all women in 2020) had a history of anxiety and depression. In addition, 50% of women going through the RHH, on average, start their pregnancies already with overweight or obesity. One in every 20 women started pregnancy with class 3 obesity (BMI &gt; 40).
Doctors and midwives working in the antenatal clinics are aware of the complex relationships between mental health and obesity. We are aware that children born to mothers suffering from poor mental health during pregnancy have an increased lifetime risk of both metabolic and psychological disorders. We are aware that obesity, excessive pregnancy weight gain and metabolic dysfunction in pregnancy are associated with an increased risk of pregnancy complications, as well as an increased lifetime risk metabolic and psychological disease for the child. But despite the best efforts of a committed team of antenatal clinicians, we often feel helpless to meaningfully intervene to improve outcomes.
The majority of the morbidity that we are seeing in pregnant women is due to environmental factors: physical, social and economic. These environmental factors are not being addressed at a community level; rather we are expected to do what we can as clinicians at the individual level. We are not adequately resourced even to do this. Antenatal clinicians at the RHH have no access to a dietician, even for women with the most complex needs. We do have an excellent perinatal mental health service for women with acute and complex mental health needs, but we lack the resources or referral options to help women with who may be suffering with more chronic psychological issues.
For many women, pregnancy means they are in contact with the health system where they might otherwise have minimal engagement. This represents a significant opportunity to improve the health and wellbeing of all mothers and their babies, that should be maximised. We are currently in the early stages of a research program which aims to provide RHH obstetric and midwifery staff with the knowledge and skills to help women maintain a healthy lifestyle during pregnancy, with a primary aim of preventing excessive gestational weight gain. We are hoping these skills will enable staff to make brief but effective interventions as part of their routine care for pregnant women. This seems like the very least we can do to support women and their families in this crucially important window of the first 1000 days of a child's life.
How many more lives could be improved from the very beginning, during pregnancy, if there was adequate resourcing across all Tasmanian publicly funded antenatal care clinics for dietetic, psychological and healthy lifestyle support to be embedded within the clinics and to have viable referral options?
The discussion paper outlines a commendable list of initiatives aimed to support child and youth wellbeing. Our hope is that our submission draws attention to the vital area of need that exists in the first 1000 days of many Tasmanian children's lives. We hope that we see maternal health and wellbeing support prioritised in future initiatives. Ultimately, we wish to see better building blocks enabled to optimise the physical and mental health and wellbeing throughout the lives of Tasmanian children.
With thanks,
Dr Kristine Barnden MBBS FRANZCOG DDU Obstetrician Royal Hobart Hospital

## NOTICE OF 2021 ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS
## To the Stockholders of Artelo Biosciences, Inc
Notice is hereby given that the 2021 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the 'Annual Meeting') of Artelo Biosciences, Inc., a Nevada corporation, will be held on Friday, June 18, 2021 at 8:00 a.m., Pacific Time, via internet webcast, for the following purposes:
1. To elect eight (8) directors, Gregory D. Gorgas, Connie Matsui, Steven Kelly, John W. Beck, R. Martin Emanuele, Ph.D., Douglas Blayney, M.D., Gregory R. Reyes, M.D., Ph.D., and Tamara A. Seymour, for a one-year term to expire at the 2022 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, or until their successors are duly elected and qualified or until their earlier resignation or removal;
2. To ratify the appointment of MaloneBailey, LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending August 31, 2021 and for the stub period between September 1, 2021 and December 31, 2021; and
3. To transact such other business as may be properly brought before the Annual Meeting or any adjournments or postponements thereof.
The Annual Meeting will be a completely virtual meeting of stockholders. To participate, vote or submit questions during the Annual Meeting via live webcast, please visit <https://www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/ARTL2021>.
You will not be able to attend the Annual Meeting in person.
We have also elected to provide access to our proxy materials over the internet under the Securities and Exchange Commission's (the 'SEC') 'notice and access' rules. We believe these rules allow us to provide you with the information you need while reducing our delivery costs and the environmental impact of the Annual Meeting. Our Board of Directors has fixed the close of business on April 22, 2021 as the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Annual Meeting and at any adjournment or postponement thereof. Our proxy materials were first sent or made available on May 7, 2021 to all stockholders as of the record date.
Whether or not you expect to attend the Annual Meeting via live webcast, please vote at your earliest convenience. You may vote over the internet, by telephone or, if you request to receive printed proxy materials, by mailing a proxy or voting instruction card. You may also vote your shares during the Annual Meeting. Submitting your proxy in advance of the Annual Meeting will not prevent you from voting your shares during the Annual Meeting, as your proxy is revocable at your option as described in the proxy statement accompanying this notice. Please review the instructions regarding each of your voting options described in the proxy statement, as well as in the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials or proxy card you received by mail.
Important Notice Regarding the Availability of Proxy Materials for the Annual Meeting: The proxy statement, the accompanying materials and our 2020 Annual Report and any amendments thereto are being mailed on or about May 7, 2021 to all stockholders entitled to vote at the annual meeting. A copy of our proxy statement and our 2020 annual report and any amendments thereto are also posted on <https://www.proxyvote.com> and are available from the SEC on its website at <https://www.sec.gov>.

## General Information
The Board of Directors (the 'Board') of Artelo Biosciences, Inc., a Nevada corporation ('Artelo,' 'Artelo Biosciences,' 'the company,' 'we,' 'us' or 'our'), has made these proxy materials available to you on the internet or, upon your request, has delivered these proxy materials to you in connection with the solicitation of proxies for use at the 2021 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the 'Annual Meeting'). The Annual Meeting will be held live via internet webcast on Friday, June 18, 2021 at 8:00 a.m., Pacific Time, or at any adjournment or postponement thereof, for the purposes stated herein. These proxy materials were first sent or given on May 7, 2021 to all stockholders as of the record date.
## Internet Availability of Proxy Materials
Under rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the 'SEC'), we may furnish proxy materials, including this proxy statement and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended August 31, 2020 filed with the SEC on November 4, 2020 (the '2020 Annual Report'), to our stockholders by providing access to such documents on the internet instead of mailing printed copies. Most of you will not receive printed copies of the proxy materials unless you request them. Instead, the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials (the 'Notice'), which was mailed to most of you, will instruct you as to how you may access and review all of the proxy materials on the internet. The Notice also instructs you as to how you may submit your proxy on the internet. If you would like to receive printed copies of our proxy materials by mail, please follow the instructions in the Notice for requesting such materials. If you request printed copies of the proxy materials by mail, the materials you receive will include the proxy card or voting instruction form for the Annual Meeting. The proxy materials are available to view and download at <https://www.proxyvote.com>. We also encourage you to review our 2020 Annual Report available on our website at <https://ir.artelobio.com/>.
## Virtual Annual Meeting
We are embracing technology to provide expanded access, improved communication, reduced environmental impact and cost savings for our stockholders and the Company. Hosting a virtual meeting enables increased stockholder attendance and participation since stockholders can participate and ask questions from any location around the world, and provides us an opportunity to give thoughtful responses. In addition, we intend that the virtual meeting format provide stockholders a similar level of transparency to the traditional in-person meeting format, and we take steps to ensure such an experience. Our stockholders will be afforded the same opportunities to participate at the virtual Annual Meeting as they would at an in-person annual meeting of stockholders.

## 2021 PROXY STATEMENT
## Participating in the Annual Meeting
We will host the Annual Meeting live via internet webcast. You will not be able to attend the Annual Meeting in person. A summary of the information you need in order to attend the Annual Meeting online is provided below:
- Any stockholder may listen to the Annual Meeting and participate live via the internet at <https://www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/ARTL2021>. The live internet webcast will begin on Friday, June 18, 2021 at 8:00 a.m., Pacific Time.
- Stockholders may vote and submit questions during the Annual Meeting live via the internet.
- To enter the meeting, please have your 16-digit control number, which is available on the Notice or, if you received a printed copy of the proxy materials, your proxy card. If you do not have your 16-digit control number, you will be able to listen to the meeting only. You will not be able to vote or submit questions during the meeting.
- We will have technicians ready to assist you with any technical difficulties you may have accessing the virtual meeting or submitting questions. If you encounter any difficulties accessing the virtual meeting during the check-in or meeting time, please call the technical support number that will be posted on the Annual Meeting log-in page.
- Instructions regarding how to connect and participate live via the internet, including how to demonstrate proof of stock ownership, are posted at <https://www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/ARTL2021>.
## Voting Rights and Outstanding Shares
Only stockholders that owned our common stock at the close of business on April 22, 2020, the record date for the Annual Meeting, are entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Annual Meeting. On the record date, 23,149,112 shares of our common stock were outstanding. Each share of our common stock that you own entitles you to one vote on each matter to be voted upon at the Annual Meeting. We will have a quorum to conduct the business of the Annual Meeting if the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of our common stock entitled to vote are present, in person via the internet webcast or by proxy. Abstentions and broker non-votes (i.e., shares of common stock held by a broker, bank or other agent that are represented at the meeting, but which the broker, bank or other agent is not empowered to vote on a particular proposal) will be counted for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present at the Annual Meeting.
## Proposals for the Annual Meeting
There are two (2) proposals scheduled to be voted on at the Annual Meeting:
- Elect eight (8) directors, Gregory D. Gorgas, Connie Matsui, Steven Kelly, John W. Beck, R. Martin Emanuele, Ph.D., Douglas Blayney, M.D., Gregory R. Reyes, M.D., Ph.D., and Tamara A. Seymour, for a one-year term to expire at the 2022 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, or until their successors are duly elected and qualified or until their earlier resignation or removal; and
- Ratify the appointment of MaloneBailey, LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending August 31, 2021.
## Voting Requirements to Approve Each Proposal
Proposal 1 - Election of Directors . Directors are elected by a majority of the votes present in person via the internet webcast or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at a meeting at which a quorum is present. If a quorum is present, each nominee for director may be approved by the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at a meeting at which a quorum is present. You may vote 'FOR,' 'AGAINST,' or 'ABSTAIN' on each individual nominee in this proposal. Abstentions are deemed to be votes cast and have the same effect as a vote against the proposal. Broker non-votes are not deemed to be votes cast, are not included in the tabulation of voting results on this proposal, and will not affect the outcome of voting on this proposal.
Proposal 2 - Ratification of the Appointment of MaloneBailey, LLP . The proposal to ratify the appointment of MaloneBailey, LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending August 31, 2021, may be approved by the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at a meeting at which a quorum is present. Abstentions are deemed to be votes cast and have the same effect as votes 'AGAINST' the proposal. This proposal is considered a routine or 'discretionary' matter on which your broker, bank or other agent will be able to vote on your behalf even if it does not receive instructions from you; therefore, no broker non-votes are expected to exist in connection with this proposal.
## Voting Shares Registered in Your Name
If you are a stockholder of record, you may vote in one of four ways:
- Vote via the internet. You may submit a proxy over the Internet at <https://www.proxyvote.com> 24 hours a day, seven days a week. You will need the 16-digit control number included on your Notice of Internet Availability or your proxy card (if you received a printed copy of the proxy materials);
- Vote by telephone. You may submit a proxy using a touch-tone telephone by calling 1 -800 -690 -6903, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. You will need the 16-digit control number included on your Notice of Internet Availability or your proxy card (if you received a printed copy of the proxy materials);
- Vote by Mail. If you received printed proxy materials, you may direct how your shares are voted at the Annual Meeting by completing, signing, and dating each proxy card received and returning it in the prepaid envelope. Sign your name exactly as it appears on the proxy card. Your completed, signed and dated proxy card must be received prior to the Annual Meeting; or
- Vote during the Annual Meeting live via the internet by following the instructions posted at <https://www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/ARTL2021>.
Votes submitted via the internet or by telephone must be received by 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time, on June 17, 2021. Submitting your proxy via the internet, by telephone or by mail will not affect your right to vote during the Annual Meeting live via the internet. For additional information, please see 'Revocability of Proxies' below.
## Voting Shares Registered in the Name of a Broker, Bank or Other Agent
Most beneficial owners holding stock in 'street name' will receive instructions for voting their shares from their broker, bank or other agent. A number of brokers and banks participate in a program provided through Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. ('Broadridge') that allows stockholders to grant their proxy to vote shares by means of the telephone or internet. If your shares are held in an account with a broker or bank participating in the Broadridge program, you may vote by telephone by calling the number shown on the voting instruction form received from your broker or bank, or you may vote via the internet at Broadridge's website at <http://www.proxyvote.com> and use your control number and other information as requested. However, since you are not the stockholder of record, you may not vote your shares live via the internet by following the instructions posted at <https://www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/ARTL2021> unless you obtain a valid proxy from your broker, bank or other nominee.
## Revocability of Proxies
If you are a stockholder of record, once you have submitted your proxy by mail, telephone or internet, you may revoke it at any time before it is voted at the Annual Meeting. You may revoke your proxy in any one of the following three ways:
- You may submit another proxy marked with a later date (which automatically revokes your earlier proxy) by mail or telephone or via the internet by the applicable deadline as described above;
- You may provide written notice that you wish to revoke your proxy to our Secretary at Artelo Biosciences, Inc., Attn: Secretary, 888 Prospect Street, Suite 210, La Jolla, California 92037 by no later than the close of business on Thursday, June 17, 2021; or
- You may attend the Annual Meeting and submit your vote live via the internet. Attendance at the Annual Meeting live via the internet will not, by itself, cause your previously granted proxy to be revoked.
If you are a beneficial owner holding shares in 'street name,' you may change your vote by submitting new voting instructions to your broker, bank or other agent in accordance with the instructions they provided (see 'V oting Shares Registered in the Name of a Broker, Bank or Other Agent' above).
## Tabulation of Votes
A representative from Broadridge will act as inspector of elections and tabulate the votes at the Annual Meeting. All shares represented by valid proxies received before the Annual Meeting will be voted. If you submit a valid proxy containing instructions regarding how to vote with respect to any matter to be acted upon, your shares will be voted in accordance with those instructions. If you submit a valid proxy with no instructions, then your shares will be voted by the individuals we have designated as proxies for the Annual Meeting in the following manner:
- ' FOR ' the election of each of the eight (8) nominees for director named in this proxy statement; and
- ' FOR ' the ratification of the appointment of MaloneBailey, LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for our fiscal year ending August 31, 2021.
In addition, the individuals that we have designated as proxies for the Annual Meeting will have discretionary authority to vote your shares with respect to any other business that may properly come before the Annual Meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof.
## Voting Results
Preliminary voting results are expected to be announced at the Annual Meeting. V oting results will be tallied by the inspector of elections and reported in a Current Report on Form 8-K (the 'Form 8-K') that we will file with the SEC within four business days of the Annual Meeting. If the voting results reported in the Form 8-K are preliminary, we will subsequently file an amendment to the Form 8-K to report the final voting results within four business days of the date on which the final voting results are known.
## Proxy Solicitation
This proxy solicitation is made by the Board and we will bear the entire cost of soliciting proxies for the Annual Meeting, including costs associated with the preparation, assembly, printing and mailing of the proxy materials and any additional information furnished to stockholders. We will provide copies of the proxy materials to brokers, banks and other agents holding shares of our common stock in their name for the benefit of others for forwarding to the beneficial owners. We may reimburse such brokers, banks or other agents for their costs associated with forwarding the proxy materials to the beneficial owners. We have retained Broadridge to assist with the solicitation of proxies and provide related advice and informational support, for a services fee, plus customary disbursements, which are not expected to exceed $20,000 in total. Proxy solicitations will be made primarily through the mail, but may be supplemented by telephone, email, or other electronic means by Broadridge, or by our directors, executive officers, employees or other agents without additional compensation to such individuals.
## Householding of Proxy Materials
The SEC has adopted rules that permit brokers, banks and other agents to satisfy the delivery requirements for proxy statements and annual reports, or notice of their availability, by delivering a single proxy statement and annual report to two or more stockholders sharing the same address. This process, which is commonly referred to as 'householding,' can provide added convenience for our stockholders and additional cost savings for us.
This year, a number of brokers, banks and other agents with account holders who are our stockholders will be 'householding' our proxy materials. A single proxy statement and annual report will be delivered to multiple stockholders sharing an address unless contrary instructions have been received from the affected stockholders. Once you have received notice from your broker, bank or other agent that they will be householding communications to your address, householding will continue until you are notified otherwise or until you revoke your consent to the householding of communications. If at any time you no longer wish to participate in householding and would prefer to receive a separate proxy statement and annual report or notice of availability, please either (i) notify your broker, bank or other agent, (ii) direct your written request to Artelo Biosciences, Inc., Attn: Investor Relations, 888 Prospect Street, Suite 210, La Jolla, California 92037, or (iii) contact us by phone at (760) 943-1689. Upon receipt of any such written or oral request, we undertake to promptly deliver free of charge a separate copy of the proxy statement, annual report and/or notice of availability, as applicable, to a stockholder at a shared address to which a single copy of these documents was delivered. Stockholders who currently receive multiple copies of the proxy statement and annual report, or notices of availability, at their address and would like to request householding of their communications should notify their broker, bank or other agent.
## Stockholder Proposals for the 2022 Annual Meeting of Stockholders
Stockholders may present proper proposals for inclusion in our proxy statement and for consideration at our next annual meeting of stockholders by submitting their proposals in writing to our Secretary in a timely manner, as described below.
For a stockholder proposal, other than a proposal for the nomination of directors, to be considered for inclusion in our proxy statement for the 2022 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, our Secretary must receive the written proposal at our principal executive offices no later than January 8, 2021; provided, however, that in the event we hold the 2022 Annual Meeting of Stockholders more than 30 days before or after the one-year anniversary of the Annual Meeting, we will disclose the new deadline by which stockholder proposals must be received in our earliest possible Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or, if impracticable, by any means reasonably calculated to inform stockholders. In addition to being timely submitted, stockholder proposals must otherwise comply with the requirements of Rule 14a-8 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the 'Exchange Act'). Proposals should be addressed to: Artelo Biosciences, Inc., Attn: Secretary, 888 Prospect Street, Suite 210, La Jolla, California 92037.
While the Board will consider stockholder proposals, including proposals for the nomination of directors, we reserve the right to omit from our proxy statement for the 2022 Annual Meeting of Stockholders proposals that we are not required to include under the Exchange Act, including Rule 14a-8 thereunder. Stockholders are advised to review our bylaws for additional information regarding other matters, and procedures related to such matters, that may be considered at an annual meeting of stockholders.
## SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT
The following table presents certain information with respect to the beneficial ownership of our common stock as of April 22, 2021 by (i) each person we know to be the beneficial owner of 5% or more of our outstanding shares of common stock, (ii) each named executive officer and director and (iii) all executive officers and directors as a group. Information with respect to beneficial ownership is based on a review of our stock transfer records and on the Schedules 13D and 13G that have been filed with the SEC by or on behalf of the stockholders listed below. Except as indicated by the footnotes below, we believe, based on the information available to us, that the persons named in the table below have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares of common stock that they beneficially own, subject to applicable community property laws.
Percentage of beneficial ownership is calculated based on 23,149,112 shares of common stock outstanding on April 22, 2021. We have determined beneficial ownership in accordance with SEC rules. In computing the number of shares of common stock beneficially owned by a person and the percentage ownership of that person, we deemed as outstanding shares of common stock subject to stock options held by that person that are currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days of April 22, 2021. We did not deem these shares outstanding, however, for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person. Except otherwise indicated in the footnotes below, the address of each beneficial owner listed in the table is Artelo Biosciences, Inc., 888 Prospect Street, Suite 210, La Jolla, California 92037.

## Director Independence
Our Board has undertaken a review of the independence of the directors and considered whether any director has a material relationship with us that could compromise his or her ability to exercise independent judgment in carrying out his or her responsibilities. As a result of this review, our Board has determined that Ms. Matsui, Dr. Blayney, Mr. Kelly, Dr. Emanuele, Mr. Beck, Dr. Reyes, and Ms. Seymour representing seven of our eight directors, are 'independent directors' as defined under the rules of the Nasdaq Capital Market (the 'Nasdaq'). Mr. Gorgas is not considered independent due to his service as an executive officer of the Company.
In determining whether directors were independent under Nasdaq rules, the Board considered the matters discussed in the section entitled 'Certain Relationships and Related Transactions' below. There are no family relationships between any of our directors and executive officers. There are currently no legal proceedings, and during the past ten years there have been no legal proceedings, that are material to the evaluation or the ability or integrity of any of our directors or director nominees.
## Leadership Structure of the Board of Directors
The Board has the following general leadership structure:
- The positions of Chief Executive Officer and Chair of the Board are separate but may be held by the same individual. The positions of Chief Executive Officer and Chair of the Board are currently held by Mr. Gorgas and Ms. Matsui, respectively.
- The Chair of the Board presides at meetings of the Board and, so long as the Chair of the Board is an independent director, also presides at executive sessions of the non-management and/or independent directors.
- If the Chair of the Board is not an independent director, the independent directors will appoint one independent director to serve as 'lead independent director.' In that scenario, the lead independent director will preside at executive sessions of the non-management and/or independent directors, preside at meetings of the Board in the absence of the Chair of the Board, review agendas for meetings of the Board with the Chief Executive Officer and Chair of the Board, and assume such other functions as the Board may deem appropriate.
- The Chief Executive Officer and the Chair of the Board jointly establish the agenda for each meeting of the Board, though any director may request the inclusion of items on the agenda.
Ms. Matsui currently serves as Chair of the Board and is an independent director, thus, the Board does not currently have a lead independent director. The Board has determined that this leadership structure, specifically the separation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chair of the Board positions, is appropriate for our company because, in the judgment of the Board, an independent Chair of the Board (or lead independent director, if the Chair of the Board is not an independent director) is best positioned to express to management the views of the Board (and, particularly, the independent directors) and to provide constructive feedback to the Chief Executive Officer regarding management's performance.
## CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
## Board Committees
The Board has an Audit Committee, a Compensation Committee, and a Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee. These committees operate under written charters, which are available on our website at <http://www.artelobio.com> under 'Investors-Governance.' The Board has determined that all members of these committees satisfy the applicable independence requirements under Nasdaq rules. The current members of the committees are identified in the table below.
| Director | Audit Committee | Compensation Committee | Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee |
| ----------------------------- | --------------- | ---------------------- | --------------------------------------------- |
| Gregory D. Gorgas | - | - | - |
| Connie Matsui | - | - | Member |
| Steven Kelly | Member | Chair | - |
| John W. Beck | Chair | Member | - |
| R. M. Emanuele, Ph.D. | - | - | Member |
| Douglas Blayney, M.D. | - | - | Chair |
| Gregory R. Reyes, M.D., Ph.D. | - | Member | - |
| Tamara A. Seymour | Member | - | - |
The Audit Committee is responsible primarily for overseeing (i) the services provided by our independent registered public accounting firm, (ii) the integrity of our financial statements and internal control over financial reporting, and (iii) risk management, internal audit and our compliance with legal and regulatory requirements. Mr. Beck, the Chair of the Audit Committee, has been determined by the Board to be an audit committee financial expert. For fiscal year ending August 31, 2020, the Audit Committee held six (6) meetings.
The Compensation Committee is responsible primarily for evaluating and approving all compensation plans, policies and programs as they affect our executive officers, administering our equity compensation plans, and reviewing the compensation of the Board. For fiscal year ending August 31, 2020, the Compensation Committee held three (3) meetings.
The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee is responsible primarily for identifying, evaluating and recommending to the Board nominees for election or appointment to the Board and committees of the Board, evaluating the performance and independence of the Board and of individual directors, and evaluating the adequacy of our corporate governance practices. For fiscal year ending August 31, 2020, the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee held three (3) meetings.
## Meetings of the Board of Directors and Board Committees
The Board has regularly scheduled meetings at least quarterly. Our independent directors hold executive sessions without management present at least once per quarter. For fiscal year ending August 31, 2020, the Board held five (5) meetings. Each director attended at least 75% of the aggregate number of meetings held by the Board and all applicable committees of the Board during the period that he or she served. It is our policy to encourage members of the Board to attend our annual meetings of stockholders.
## Role of the Board of Directors in Risk Oversight
Management is responsible for day-to-day risk management at our company. The role of the Board is to provide oversight of the processes designed to identify, assess and monitor key risks and risk mitigation activities. The Board fulfills its risk oversight responsibilities through (i) the receipt of reports directly from management and (ii) the receipt of reports from each committee chair regarding such committee's oversight of specific risk topics.
## Delegation of Risk Oversight
The Board has delegated oversight of specific risk areas to its committees. For example, the Audit Committee is tasked with overseeing risk management at our company with respect to financial matters and the adequacy of our internal control over financial reporting. Pursuant to its charter, the Audit Committee is required, among other things, to discuss with management our policies with respect to risk assessment and risk management, including guidelines and procedures to govern the process by which risk assessment and risk management are handled, and to review our major risk exposures and the steps management has taken to monitor, control and report such exposures. The Audit Committee typically has these discussions with management at least once per quarter, and the Chair of the Audit Committee subsequently reports on these discussions to the full Board. Similarly, the Compensation Committee assists the Board in overseeing risks arising from our compensation policies and practices, and the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee assists the Board in overseeing risks associated with corporate governance, director and executive officer succession planning, board membership and board structure. The Board then discusses significant risk management issues with the Chief Executive Officer and recommends appropriate action.
## Communications with the Board of Directors
The Company's contact information is available on our website at <https://artelobio.com/> under the 'Investors' tab. Interested parties may send communications to the non-management members of the Board. Communications to the Board must be in writing and sent care of the Secretary by mail to our offices 888 Prospect Street, Suite 210, La Jolla California 92037. This centralized process will assist the Board in reviewing and responding to stockholder and interested party communications in an appropriate manner. The name of any specific intended recipient should be noted in the communication. All communications must be accompanied by the following information:
- if the person submitting the communication is a security holder, a statement of the type and amount of securities of our company the person holds;
- if the person submitting the communication is not a security holder and is submitting the communication to the non-management directors as an interested party, the nature of the person's interest in our company;
- any special interest, meaning an interest not in the capacity of a stockholder of our company, of the person in the subject matter of the communication; and
- the address, telephone number and e-mail address, if any, of the person submitting the communication.
Communications should be addressed to the attention of the Secretary and should not exceed 500 words in length, excluding the information required to accompany the communication as described above. The Board has instructed the Secretary to forward such correspondence to the Board.
## Consideration of Director Nominees
## Director Qualifications
The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee evaluates all incumbent, replacement or additional nominees for election as directors, taking into account (i) all factors the committee considers appropriate, which may include career specialization, relevant technical skills or financial acumen, diversity of viewpoint and industry knowledge, and (ii) the following minimum qualifications:
- Each director nominee must have displayed the highest personal and professional ethics, integrity and values, and sound business judgment;
- Each director must be highly accomplished in his or her respective field, with superior credentials and recognition and broad experience at the administrative and/or policy making level in business, government, education, technology or public interest;
- Each director must have relevant expertise and experience, and be able to offer advice and guidance to the Chief Executive Officer based on that expertise and experience;
- Each director must be able to represent all of our stockholders and be committed to enhancing long-term stockholder value; and
- Each director must have sufficient time available to devote to activities of the Board and to enhance his or her knowledge of our business.
In determining whether to recommend a director for re-election to the Board, the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee also considers the director's past attendance at meetings and participation in and contributions to the activities of the Board and any applicable committees of the Board.
The Nominating and Governance Committee does not have a formal policy governing the consideration of diversity in identifying nominees for director.
## Stockholder Recommendations and Nominees
The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee has not received director candidate recommendations from our stockholders and does not have a formal policy regarding consideration of such recommendations. The Board believes this is appropriate, as any recommendations received from stockholders will be evaluated in the same manner as potential nominees suggested by members of the Board or management. Stockholders wishing to recommend a candidate for director should write to our Secretary at Artelo Biosciences, Inc., Attn: Secretary, 888 Prospect Street, Suite 210, La Jolla, California 92037.
To be considered, the recommendation of a director candidate must include the following written information: (i) the stockholder's name and contact information; (ii) a statement that the writer is a stockholder and is proposing a candidate for consideration by the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee; (iii) the name of, and contact information for, the candidate and a statement that the candidate is willing to be considered and serve as a director, if nominated and elected; (iv) a statement of the candidate's business, educational experience and qualifications; (v) information regarding each of the factors listed under 'Director Qualifications' above sufficient to enable the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee to evaluate the candidate; (vi) a statement of the value that the candidate would add to the Board; (vii) a statement detailing any relationship between the candidate and any customer, supplier or competitor of our company; (viii) detailed information about any relationship or understanding between the proposing stockholder and the candidate; and (ix) a list of three character references, including complete contact information for such references. To give the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee sufficient time to evaluate a recommended director candidate for the 2022 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, the recommendation should be received by our Secretary at our principal executive offices no later than January 7, 2022 which is the 120th calendar day before the first anniversary of the date our proxy statement was mailed to stockholders in connection with the Annual Meeting.
## Identification and Evaluation of Nominees for Director
The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee uses a variety of methods for identifying and evaluating nominees for director. The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee regularly assesses the appropriate size and composition of the Board, the needs of the Board and each committee of the Board, and the qualifications of candidates in light of these needs. Candidates may come to the attention of the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee through stockholders, management, current members of the Board or search firms. The evaluation of these candidates may be based solely upon information provided to the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee or may also include discussions with persons familiar with the candidate, an interview of the candidate or other actions the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee deems appropriate, including the use of third parties to review candidates.
## Code of Ethics
We have adopted a written Code of Ethics applicable to the Board and our officers and employees, including our principal executive officer, principal financial officer and principal accounting officer, in accordance with the rules of the Nasdaq and the SEC. The Code of Ethics is available on our website at <http://www.artelobio.com> under 'Investors -Governance.'
## Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

The terms of our outside director compensation policy also allow for new non-employee directors to receive, upon becoming a non-employee director, an initial award of stock options to purchase 30,000 shares of our common stock at a per-share exercise price equal to the fair market value of a share of our common stock on the first trading date on or after the date on which such individual first becomes a non-employee director. The initial award shall vest in three (3) equal installments on each anniversary of the date the applicable non-employee director's service commenced, in each case subject to the non-employee director continuing to be a service provider through the applicable vesting date.
Our outside director compensation policy, also provides for an annual award (the 'Annual Award') to continuing non-employee directors who have served as a non-employee director for at least six (6) months on the date of each annual meeting of stockholders of stock options to purchase 10,000 shares of our common stock at a per-share exercise price equal to the fair market value of a share of our common stock on the date of each annual meeting; provided, however, that the Board may make exceptions to this requirement of being an outside director for six (6) months to receive an Annual Award.

Our outside director compensation policy further provides that in any given fiscal year, a non-employee director may not receive cash compensation and equity awards with an aggregate value greater than $750,000 (determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America). Any cash compensation paid or awards granted to an individual for his or her services as an employee or a consultant (other than as a non-employee director) will not count for purposes of this limitation.
Our 2018 Equity Incentive Plan, or the 2018 Plan, provides that in the event of a merger or change in control, as defined in our 2018 Plan, each outstanding equity award granted under our 2018 Plan that is held by a non-employee director will fully vest, all restrictions on the shares subject to such award will lapse, and with respect to awards with performance-based vesting, all performance goals or other vesting criteria will be deemed achieved at 100% of target levels, and all of the shares subject to such award will become fully exercisable, if applicable.

## Vote Required
The election of each director requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present in person live via the internet or by proxy and entitled to vote at a meeting at which a quorum is present. Abstentions are deemed to be votes cast and have the same effect as a vote 'AGAINST' the proposal. Abstentions and broker non-votes will be counted as present for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum. The proxy holders may not vote the proxies for a greater number of persons than the number of nominees named. If any nominee should be unavailable for election as a result of an unexpected occurrence, shares will be voted for the election of such substitute nominee as the Board may propose. Each person nominated for election has agreed to serve if elected, and the Board has no reason to believe that any nominee will be unable to serve.
## THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS A VOTE 'FOR' THE ELECTION AS A DIRECTOR OF EACH OF THE EIGHT (8) NOMINEES LISTED ABOVE
## PROPOSAL 2
## RATIFICATION OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
We are asking you to ratify the appointment of MaloneBailey, LLP ('MaloneBailey'), as our independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending August 31, 2021 and for the stub period between September 1, 2021 and December 31, 2021. Representatives of MaloneBailey are expected to be present live via the internet at the Annual Meeting, will have an opportunity to make a statement should they desire to do so and will be available to respond to appropriate questions.
Although our bylaws do not require that our stockholders approve the appointment of our independent registered public accounting firm, the Board is submitting the selection of MaloneBailey to our stockholders for ratification as a matter of good corporate practice. If our stockholders vote against the ratification of MaloneBailey, the Audit Committee will reconsider whether to continue to retain the firm. Even if our stockholders ratify the appointment of MaloneBailey, the Audit Committee may choose to appoint a different independent registered public accounting firm at any time during the year if the Audit Committee determines that such a change would be in the best interests of our company and our stockholders.
## Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm Fees and Services
The following table presents fees for professional audit and other services rendered by MaloneBailey for the audit of our annual consolidated financial statements as of and for the years ended August 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and fees billed for other services rendered by MaloneBailey during those respective periods.

| Tax Fees (3) | 87,102 | 4,450 |
| All Other Fees (4) | - | - |
| Total | $ 87,102 | $ 64,775 |
Our audit committee pre-approves all services provided by our independent auditors. All of the above services and fees were reviewed and approved by the audit committee either before or after the respective services were rendered.
Our Board has considered the nature and amount of fees billed by our independent auditors and believes that the provision of services for activities unrelated to the audit is compatible with maintaining our independent auditors' independence.
## Vote Required
Ratification of MaloneBailey as our independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending August 31, 2021 and for the stub period between September 1, 2021 and December 31, 2021, requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at a meeting at which a quorum is present. Abstentions are deemed to be votes cast and have the same effect as a vote 'AGAINST' the proposal. This proposal is considered a routine or 'discretionary' matter on which your broker, bank or other agent will be able to vote on your behalf even if it does not receive instructions from you; therefore, no broker non-votes are expected to exist in connection with this proposal.

## Director Independence
Our Board has undertaken a review of the independence of the directors and considered whether any director has a material relationship with us that could compromise his or her ability to exercise independent judgment in carrying out his or her responsibilities. As a result of this review, our Board has determined that Ms. Matsui, Dr. Blayney, Mr. Kelly, Dr. Emanuele, Mr. Beck, Dr. Reyes, and Ms. Seymour representing six of our eight directors, are 'independent directors' as defined under the rules of the Nasdaq Capital Market.

## Indemnification of Directors and Officers
The Company's Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws provide that, to the fullest extent permitted by the laws of the State of Nevada, any officer or director of the Company, who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that he/she is or was or has agreed to serve at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation, or while serving as a director or officer of the Corporation, is or was serving or has agreed to serve at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent (which, for purposes hereof, shall include a trustee, partner or manager or similar capacity) of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, or by reason of any action alleged to have been taken or omitted in such capacity. For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing indemnification obligation includes, without limitation, claims for monetary damages against Indemnitee to the fullest extent permitted under Section 78.7502 of the Nevada Revised Statutes as in existence on the date hereof.
The indemnification provided shall be from and against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee or on Indemnitee's behalf in connection with such action, suit or proceeding and any appeal therefrom, but shall only be provided if Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action, suit or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe Indemnitee's conduct was unlawful.
In the case of any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the Corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he/she is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation, or while serving as a director or officer of the Corporation, is or was serving or has agreed to serve at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which Indemnitee shall have been adjudged to be liable to the Corporation unless, and only to the extent that, the Nevada courts or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, Indemnitee is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Nevada courts or such other court shall deem proper.
The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that he/she did not act in good faith and in a manner which Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that Indemnitee's conduct was unlawful.
To the extent that indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling our company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, we have been informed that, in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable. If a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by us of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of our company in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by any of our directors, officers or controlling persons in connection with the securities being registered, we will, unless in the opinion of our counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by us is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of that issue.

## Study #5 Weight Loss Effect in Overweight Women Clinical Study Purpose
Consuming Celsius prior to exercising improves body composition and lipid profile (cholesterol, triglyceride levels) in overweight and obese women.
## Results
Overweight and obese women drinking Celsius prior to moderate exercise resulted in increased fat loss, increased muscle mass, increased endurance performance with significant improvements to blood lipid profiles when compared to exercise alone.
Participants' results included: 46% greater fat loss 27% greater muscle mass 35% greater endurance performance.
Drinking Celsius with or without exercise showed a significant drop in total cholesterol (5 to 13%) and bad LDL cholesterol (12-18%). Exercise alone had no impact on blood lipid levels.
LOW-CALORIE THERMOGENIC BEVERAGE AND EXERCISE IMPROVES BODY COMPOSITION AND LIPID PROFILE IN OVERWEIGHT AND OBESE WOMEN Abbie E. Smith , Jordan R. Moon, Christopher M. Lockwood, Kristina L. Kendall, Jennifer L. Graef, David H. Fukuda, Joel T. Cramer , Jeffrey R. Stout. Department of Health and Exercise Science, University Of Oklahoma, Norman, OK
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the combined effects of a 10-week exercise program with chronic ingestion of a thermogenic energy drink on body composition, cardiovascular fitness, strength, and safety in overweight and obese women. In a double-blind placebo-controlled approach overweight and obese women (n=27) were randomly assigned to groups that consumed identically tasting treatment beverages with exercise (EX-Act: n=6; EX-PL: n=9) or without exercise (NEX-Act: n=7; NEX-PL: n=5). All participants consumed one drink per day for 10 weeks; EX-Act and EX-PL participated in a 10-week endurance and resistance training program. Fifteen minutes prior to each workout, participants consumed their assigned drink; on nontraining days the same beverage was consumed ad libitum . Changes in body composition were assessed using a fourcompartment model. Changes in muscle mass (MM) were evaluated using a previously published equation based on DXAderived appendicular lean-soft tissue. Cardiovascular fitness and upper- and lower-body strength were assessed prior to and following the 10-week intervention. Separate two-way repeated measures ANOVAs [treatment (EX-Act vs. EX-PL vs. NEX-Act vs. NEX-PL) x time (Pre vs. Post)] indicated a significant time x treatment interaction for muscle mass (p=0.026) and total cholesterol (p=0.047); a significant time x training interaction for VO 2 peak (p=0.046), ventilatory threshold (VT, p=0.014), upper- and lower-body strength (p&lt;0.05). Post hoc analyses revealed a significant difference between the EX- and NEX-groups for percent change in muscle mass (EX-Act: 6.8 ± 2.5%; EX-PL: 5.1 ± 2.4%; NEX-Act: 1.1 ± 3.2%; NEX-PL: 1.4 ± 1.3%) and VO2peak (EX-Act: 13.4 ± 10.1%; EX-PL: 8.9 ± 6.9%; NEX-Act: 2.1 ± 6.6%; NEX-PL: 7.2 ± 5.4%), VT (EX-Act: 46.2 ± 23.3%; EX-PL: 15.0 ± 15.6%; NEX-Act: 6.6 ± 17.5%; NEX-PL: 10.3 ± 22.4%), upper- (EX-Act: 14.4 ± 10.1%; EX-PL: 20.9 ± 8.3%; NEX-Act: 2.0 ± 3.4%; NEX-PL: 2.7 ± 7.7%) and lower- (EX-Act: 33.3 ± 23.9%; EX-PL: 31.7 ± 23.94%; NEX-Act: 1.4 ± 4.1%; NEX-PL: 1.2 ± 3.0%) body strength. Clinical markers for hepatic and renal function revealed no adverse effects in response to the beverage consumption. Total cholesterol significantly decreased for the Act supplementing groups (EX-Act: -5.0 ± 4.7%; NEX-Act: -10.7 ± 15.4% vs. EXPL: +3.0 ± 12.8%, NEX-PL: +0.3 ± 8.9%). The current data suggest that the ACSM exercise program guidelines provide an effective measure for improving cardiovascular fitness, strength and modifying body composition. Individual data demonstrate support for implementing a single serving thermogenic drink prior to exercise, to improve muscle mass, decrease fat mass and improve lipid profiles of overweight women, compared to exercise alone.
THE EFFECT OF PLATE SIZE ON ENERGY INTAKE IN NORMAL AND OVERWEIGHT/OBESE SUBJECTS Schroeder B°, Winn W°, Shah Ma', A dams-Huet B°. 'Dept. of Kinesiology, TCU, Fort Worth, TX &amp; "Dept. of Clinical Sciences, UT Southwestern Medical Center, Dallas, TX.
Ten NW and 10 OW women were recruited for the study. Each subject came to the metabolic lab on two different days, separated by at least 2 days, for lunch. During the first day, each subject was randomly assigned to eat using either a small plate (SP) (8.5") or large plate (LP) (10.75") and was asked to serve herself as much spaghetti with red sauce as she wanted from her own individual serving bowl onto her plate. During the second day, the subject underwent the same procedure but with the different size plate. The amount of food consumed during each occasion was determined by weighing the serving bowl and plate before and after the food was consumed. The data were analyzed using a 2 factor [plate size (repeated factor) and weight status] ANOVA.
Only one study has examined the role of plate size on energy intake and there is no data on the effect by weight This study determined if plate size affects energy intake and whether overweight/obese (OW) subjects (BMI &gt; 25 kg/m') respond to plate size differently compared with normal weight (NW) subjects (BMI: 18.5-24.9 kg/m?).
There was no effect (mean+SD) of plate size x weight status (NW-LP: 326194 kcal; NW-SP: 324+123 kcal; OWLP: 293+103 kcal; OW-SP: 314+151 kcal; p=0.55), plate size (LP: 309+98 kcal; SP: 319+134 kcal; p=0.60), or weight status (NW: 325 kcal; OW: 303 kcal; p=0.67) on energy intake. Plate size did not affect energy intake and the response was not different in NW and OW subjects.

## FOLLOW UP INVESTIGATION OF EARLIER OBESE SCHOOLCHILDREN WITH INSULIN RESISTANCE TREATED BY LIFESTYLE MODIFICATION
Szamosi T. 2'd Pediatric Dept. of Med/Fac, Semmelweis University, Budapest, Hungary.
Long time effect of lifestyle modification (LM) advised against insulin resistance syndrome (IRS) is not established, therefore repeated investigation of our earlier patients were performed after ten years. Our invitation was accepted by 127 patients whose IRS was thought to be improved after a 2 years long care 8 years ago. 28 have continued (group 1), 42 have partly continued (group 2), 57 have not continued (group 3) the LM. BMI, BP, carbohydrate and lipid metabolic parameters were determined. BMi was &gt; 25 together with high SBP in 4, 6, 31 cases from group 1, 2, 3, respectively. The frequency difference between group 1 and 3 was significant. Impaired glucose tolerance together with hyperinsulinemia were found in 9, 13, 39 cases from group 1, 2, 3, respectively w/o significant frequency differences. No pathologic serum lipid parameters were observed. The effect of LM on different IRS risk factors seems to be due to the compliance time and the factor,s nature.

## SIGNIFICANT IMPROVEMENTS IN VIGOR, MOOD STATE AND HORMONE PROFILE ASSOCIATED WITH LIFESTYLE Talbott S.', Talbott J., Larsen W.', &amp; Jackson V.?
'SupplementWatch, Inc. and Treehouse Athletic Club, Draper, UT Chronic stress plays a major role in the pathophysiology of many disease states, particularly psychological disorders including depression, chronic fatigue, anxiety, fibromyalgia, and burnout. These stress-related changes in psychology may be due to both endocrine and behavioral factors - and may be mediated or attenuated by lifestyle factors including
Vigor is defined as a 3-tiered sustained mood-state that is characterized by (I) physical energy, (2) mental energy, and (3) cognitive liveliness. Vigor can also be described as the opposite of "Burnout" (physical fatigue, mental exhaustion, cognitive weariness).
Our objective was to assess changes in Vigor, Mood State, and Hormone Profile in response to a lifestyle intervention. We recruited 117 moderately stressed subjects (95 women / 22 men) in three cohorts at different times of the year (January, May, November). Subjects followed a 6-12 week regimen (depending on cohort) including a balanced diet, moderate exercise (3-5 d/wk), and an herbal dietary supplement based on Eurycoma longifolia (a Malaysian traditional remedy for improving mood and energy levels). We measured endocrine parameters (salivary cortisol to testosterone (C:T) ratio), and Global Mood State (MOOD) and related subscales: Vigor (V), Fatigue (F), and Depression (D), using the Profile of Mood States (POMS) psychological survey before and after the intervention. Significant changes (all, p&lt;0.05) were found for C:T (-1519%), MOOD (+20-22%), V (+27-29%), F (-41-48%), and D (-40-52%). These data indicate that factors that are typically disrupted during chronic stress (hormone profile and psychological mood state) may be positively and significantly

EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN
INTRODUCTION
Maichtlaceaundlamantonromiddlu ninhleand aunarfuandly markotod arhilo
Weight loss supplements are widely available and superfluously marketed, while lacking substantial efficacy and safety data.  Many supplements are marketed as 'natural' and therefore relaying 'safety' again lacking supporting data.  Furthermore, many weight loss supplements fail to recognize the combination of diet and exercise, as the effective way to losing weight.  Many common 'natural' ingredients, such as caffeine, green tea, and ginseng, have made their way into weight loss supplements, as effective thermogenic and lipolytic ingredients.  Specifically, it has previously been reported (1) that a commercially available, low-calorie thermogenic drink (Celsius ® , Celsius, Inc., Delray Beach, FL) significantly increased resting energy expenditure (REE) and serum free fatty acids (FFA) in response to acute oral ingestion compared to a placebo.  In addition,  Roberts et al. (2) reported a decrease in percent body fat (%FAT), increased serum FFA and no significant differences in blood lipids or other metabolic safety indices after 28 days of chronic ingestion of the same energy drink versus placebo. Dalbo et al. (1) found that compared to placebo, Celsius ®  significantly increased REE (kcal/d) by approximately 10% after 120 minutes post-ingestion, with no change seen at 180 minutes. At 30, 60, 120 and 180 minutes post-ingestion, circulating FFA concentrations were also significantly elevated, compared to placebo. Concluding that this thermogenic drink may be an effective stimulus to promote weight loss and changes in body composition, independent of modifications in diet or exercise (1). Moreso, Lockwood et al. (3) demonstrated that when combined with exercise, consuming a thermogenic drink prior to exercise may safely improve body composition and strength and fitness in healthy men Therefore, the purpose of this study was to evaluate the combined effects of a 10-week exercise program with chronic ingestion of a thermogenic energy drink on body composition, cardiovascular fitness, strength, and safety in overweight and obese women.
This study implemented a randomized, double-blind placebo-controlled design examining the combined effects of a 10-week pre-exercise intervention with a lowcalorie energy and thermogenic beverage (Celsius®, Celsius, Inc. Delray Beach, FL) and five days per week of combined aerobic and resistance exercise.  Participants were randomized into one of four groups: active energy drink + exercise (EX-Act), energy drink only (NEX-Act), placebo + exercise (EX-PL) or placebo only (NEX-PL), and consumed their respective drink one time per day, either alone or in combination with exercise.  Participants consumed their respective drink ad libitum on the other two days per week.  Body composition was assessed using a fourcompartment model (4) at Baseline and after 12 weeks of exercise and supplementation.  Cardiovascular and strength testing were conducted within 24 hours of baseline and post-testing, and blood safety measures were also assessed after a 12-h fast.

| | BODY COMPOSITION (4C-MODEL) | | | |
All body composition measurements were performed on the same day following a 12-hour fast (water intake was allowed up to one hour prior to testing).  Hydration status was determined prior to all testing using specific gravity via handheld refractometry (Model CLX-1, precision = 0.001 ± 0.001, VEE GEE Scientific, Inc., Kirkland, WA) to assure proper hydration from PRE (1.022 ± 0.007) to POST (1.021 ± 0.007) measurements.  Fat mass (FM), percent body fat (%FAT) and fat-free mass (FFM) were estimated using the four-compartment (4-C) model described by Wang et al.(4)
FM (kg) = 2.748(BV)-0.699(TBW) + 1.129(Mo)- 2.051(BM) %FAT = (FM/BM) x 100 FFM (kg) = BM-FM Where BV is total body volume, TBW is total body water, MO is total body bone mineral, and BM is body mass.
Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) (software version 10.50.086, Lunar Prodigy Advanced, Madison, WI) was used to estimate total bone mineral content and total body muscle mass (MM).  Bone mineral content (BMC) was converted to Mo using the following equation: Mo = total body BMC x 1.0436.  In addition, the sum of lean soft tissue for both arms and legs (ALST), as measured by CXA, was used to estimate MM from the validated equation of Kim et al.(5).  MM = (1.13 x ALST) (0.02 x age) + [0.61 x sex (m = 0, f = 1)] + 0.97.
Body volume (BD) was assessed from HW with correction for residual volume (RV). Residual volume was determined with the subject in a seated position using the oxygen dilution method of Wilmore (6) via a metabolic cart with residual volume software (True One 2400 ® , Parvo-Medics, Inc. Provo, UT.). Underwater weight was measured to the nearest 0.025kg in a submersion tank in which a PVC swing seat was suspended from a calibrated Chatillon ®  15-kg scale (Model # 1315DD-H, Largo, FL.). Previous test retest measurements of eleven men and women measured 24-48 hours apart for HW produced a SEM of 0.

CARDIOVASCULAR TESTING
EXERCISE PROTOCOL
A deuterium oxide (D2O) tracer was used as the criterion method to estimate TBW. Prior to D2O ingestion, urine samples were collected from all subjects.  After voiding the bladder completely, subjects ingested  11 grams of D2O along with a 100 ml rinse of deionized water.  After a four hour equilibration period restricting defecation, urination and food and water ingestions, subjects were instructed to provide a post-urine sample.  Within 30 minutes of collection, all urine samples were pipette into cryogenic vials and stored at -80˚C for later analysis . All urinediluted samples were measured in triplicate at an independent laboratory (Metabolic Solutions, Inc., Nashua, NH) using an isotope-ratio mass spectrometer, and the isotope abundances in the urine were calculated as previously reported by Wong et al. (7) TBW was then calculated from the dilution of isotopic water and corrected for the exchange of deuterium with non-aqueous tissue (7).  Reliability measurements from 11 men and women for D2O in one urine sample measured in triplicate resulted in a SEM value of 0.33L.
Body fat was estimated using the four-compartment model (4C) of Wang et al. (4) using the following equation:
FM (kg) = 2.748(BV)-0.699(TBW) + 1.129(Mo)- 2.051(BM) %FAT = (FM/BM) x 100 FFM (kg) = BM-FM Where BV is total body volume, TBW is total body water, MO is total body bone mineral, and BM is body mass.
Described by Rossiter et al. (8), using a Corival 906900 (Lode B.V. Medical Technology, Groningen, The Netherlands) upright cycle ergometer participants were instructed to pedal at a cadence of 60-80 RPMs, with resistance beginning at 20 Watts (W) and increasing in 20W/min (1W/3sec) until volitional fatigue or until participants could no longer maintain &gt;50 RPMs, despite strong verbal encouragement. Respiratory gases were monitored and continuously analyzed with open-circuit spirometry to calculate minute ventilation (VE), oxygen consumption rate (VO2), carbon dioxide expiration rate (VCO2), ventilatory threshold (VT) and respiratory exchange ratio (RER) using a metabolic cart and manufacturer's software (True One 2400 ® , Parvo-Medics, Inc., Provo, UT).  The data were averaged over 15-second intervals, with the highest 15-second VO2 value recorded as the peak oxygen uptake (VO2peak). Prior to testing, flow rate, O2 and CO2 analyzers were calibrated following the manufacturer's recommendations.
The exercise program was designed using the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) recommended guidelines for apparently healthy adults; all participants were supervised by a certified trainer. Progressive endurance training, on cycle ergometers, was performed three days per week (Table 2). Resistance training was performed two days per week, providing at least 24 hours recovery between sessions.  Participants completed nine isotonic exercises incorporating both singlejoint and multi-joint exercises. Each exercise was performed once per session, with participants completing 8-12 repetitions per exercise, until volitional fatigue. Weight was increased when participants performed &gt;10 repetitions, at the same resistance, during two consecutive lifting sessions.

CONCLUSIONS
The current data suggest that the ACSM exercise program guidelines provide an effective measure for improving cardiovascular fitness, strength and modifying body composition.  Individual data demonstrate support for implementing a single serving thermogenic drink prior to exercise, to improve muscle mass, decrease fat mass and improve lipid profiles of overweight women, compared to exercise alone. Additionally, our data suggest that consuming a single serving of Celsius ®  prior to working out may enhance the positive adaptations of chronic exercise on body composition and cardiorespiratory fitness and endurance performance in previously sedentary overweight women.

As notice is typically 'short term', prices may be adjusted to reflect the additional costs associated to the component parts affected by these tariffs. We will notify the customer in the event that price adjustments are required, and customer may cancel the order if additional costs are declined.
## Quotations, Data Sheets and Specifications
Prices are firm for thirty (30) days unless otherwise specified. All quotes on equals substituted by CVL require customer approval after submittal of cuts. We cannot guarantee approval. CVL is not responsible for misinterpretation. Specifications and dimensions of all products are subject to normal manufacturing tolerances and may change without prior notice. Fixture design and specification sheets may be updated and/or modified as necessary and it is the Buyer's responsibility to obtain from CVL and verify the latest catalog sheets to confirm dimensions, mounting details, knockouts, holes etc... CVL will not be responsible for any costs associated with non-conformity to outdated published material, including that obtained from CVL's website. Website listings and specification sheets are merely indicative of what we offer for sale. This does not necessarily mean that all items are carried in stock.
## Lamps, Tubes and Mounting Hardware
included order.
the
Lamps, LED tubes, mounting hardware and accessories are not in pricing unless specifically listed as included on specification sheet in effect at time of order, or indicated on quotation and accepted purchase
## Hold Orders
Parts for orders marked 'Hold for Release' or 'Hold for Shipping Date' will not be manufactured or components purchased until firm release date is provided. We reserve the right to renegotiate pricing at time of release if release extends beyond the stipulated time on our quotation and/or acknowledgement.
## Cancellations
As most items are built to order, cancellations will only be accepted if parts have not been specifically purchased or produced. Cancellation charges, vendor restock fees, and any costs to return purchased parts to our vendors will be assessed as applicable. If production has commenced, we reserve the right to assess fees to cover work completed and costs to dismantle and restock the parts. If an order is canceled after shipment or refused at destination, restocking charges of up to 100% of warehousing fees, delivery and return costs will be charged to the customer.
## Terms and Conditions of Sale
## Lead Times
Lead times are estimates based on material availability and schedule at time of quotation and are subject to change quotation and date order is actually placed and released. While we to meet estimated due dates or quoted lead times, many components come from global sources and domestic vendors and delays occasionally occur. CVL will not be liable for any consequential damages, penalties or express freight charges due to delays.
## Terms of Payment
If CVL extends credit to Buyer, payment terms shall be net thirty (30) days from date of invoice, unless otherwise stated on quotation. CVL may change withdraw credit amounts or payment terms at any time for any reason. If the products are delivered in installments, Buyer shall pay for each installment in accordance with the above payment terms.

If Buyer fails to make any payment when due, CVL reserves the right to suspend or cancel performance under any agreements in which CVL has extended credit to Buyer. Suspension of performance may result in rescheduling delays. If, in CVL's judgement, Buyer's financial condition does not justify the payment terms specified herein, CVL reserves the right to terminate the sales contract unless Buyer immediately pays for all products that have been delivered and pays in advance for all products to be delivered. Termination in accordance with this clause shall not affect CVL's right to pursue any other available remedies including but not limited to collection agencies, attorney fees, and associated expenses.
No deductions from invoices will be allowed without authorization, in writing, from CVL maintains the right to charge a 1.5% per month service charge on all past due balances, as well as reasonable collection costs and fees, including but not limited to attorney, filing fees, and other associated costs of collection.

Any orders quoted with pre-paid freight charges must be ordered in no less than quoted quantities and destination. Please contact your local CVL sales agent or the factory for terms and order value requirements. Certain items including but not limited to replacement parts and lamps are excluded from any freight policy.
## Additional freight charges
Certain destinations such as residential, schools, colleges and universities, rural locations and others may require the use of special delivery equipment including but not limited to smaller size trucks, trucks equipped with lift gates, delivery sites requiring appointments or special delivery times. Carriers may impose additional charges for redelivery, refused shipments, reconsignment, incorrect or incomplete delivery address supplied to CVL, storage, and carrier shipment audits due to irregular size pallets or dimensional weight. These charges will be invoiced by CVL to the Buyer. Please notify your CVL representative of any known delivery requirements at time of quotation or order placement.
packagin
Normal transportation costs will be prepaid and added to invoic unless otherwise stated on purchase order. Customer orders requesting specific carriers or collect or third party billing must clearly state these requirements on each purchase order. Orders requiring special or custom packaging including but not limited to special size pallets, double boxi crating or other special requirements may incur additional charges.
Important note: Shipping companies are starting to charges based on 'dimensional weight' and not only actual weight. Irregular or oversized pallets which reduce their capacity yield may incur charges which may be invoiced after receipt. At times, carriers repack or restack pallets for better space utilization. CVL assume responsibility for damage in shipping based on improper handling.

## Inspection Upon Receipt
For shipments using prepaid freight from CVL : Title to the material transfers to the destination recipient upon carrier pickup. Every palletized shipment made by CVL is photographed prior to being loaded. Every pallet is clearly labeled with receiver inspection instructions which state that ANY signs of damage or mishandling MUST be noted on the carrier's bill of lading PRIOR to the truck driver's departure from the premises. The label also provides our email address to send photos of any damage to. Merely signing and stating 'subject to inspection' is not sufficient and subsequent claims will not be honored. CVL may assist in the filing of freight claims and in no way can accept any responsibility for damages. Carrier liability will ONLY cover damage that is clearly stated and signed for as such on the carrier bill of lading at the time of delivery. Any concealed damage must be reported to CVL within 24 hours of delivery. DO NOT DISPOSE OF ANY DAMAGED GOODS UNTIL INSTRUCTED TO DO SO BY CVL . Failure to follow these instructions will forfeit any rights to claim for damage through the carrier of CVL .
Any delivery receipts signed for with no damages or shortages noted on the bill of lading prior to driver leaving the premises are deemed to be accepted by the recipient as free and clear of any carrier liability or claims.
Reshipment for material signed for as damaged at time of delivery: We will make every effort to ship replacement material in a timely manner but cannot guarantee immediate availability or incur any expedited freight charges whatsoever.
For shipments using customer specified carrier: Any and all claims must be filed directly with the carrier. CVL accepts no responsibility for damage or shortages using any customer specified or third party carriers.
Recipient must verify count at time of delivery prior to signing delivery receipt. Any claims for shortage MUST be noted on the carrier's bill of lading.
Small parcel shipments sent via UPS, FedEX or similar services may include additional packaging or handling charges in addition to the actual shipping cost. Any items received as damaged should be signed for as such. These terms also apply to shipments made on customer's shipping account.
Routing is at the discretion of CVL . If customer will assume any additional charges, CVL will ship in the manner selected by the customer. Fuel or other carrier assessed surcharges added by the carrier will be passed on to the purchaser and are not subject to any freight policy. Fuel and shipping surcharges are to be paid NET and are not discountable for any reason. CVL is not responsible for the duties and taxes on items shipped out of the United States. The duties, taxes and Custom fees are the sole responsibility of the intended consignee. Orders shipped out of the United States may take an additional amount of time for delivery due to Customs clearance. All shipments that incur storage charges due to delays in providing the freight carrier with the necessary information and contact information necessary to clear Customs are the responsibility of the consignee. Unauthorized deductions will be charged back to the consignee.
CVL will not be liable for ANY penalties or charge backs resulting from delayed shipments regardless of cause.
This 8.5' x 11' label is on EVERY palletized shipment from CVL .

## A. Proofs of Policy Algorithms (Theorems 3.1 and 4.1)
Let D denote the collection of all databases. We say that D,D ∈ D are neighboring databases, denoted by D D , if they differ in exactly one user.
Definition A.1. For p ≥ 0 , the glyph[lscript] p -sensitivity of f : D → R k is defined as sup D D ‖ f ( D ) -f ( D ) ‖ glyph[lscript] p where the supremum is over all neighboring databases D,D .
The noise that we add is sampled either from Laplace or Gaussian ( Normal ) distribution. The probability density functions of these distributions are given by:
<!-- formula-not-decoded -->
We will need the following standard DP mechanisms.
Proposition A.1 (The Laplace Mechanism (Dwork et al., 2006)) . Suppose f : D → R k is a function with glyph[lscript] 1 sensitivity ∆ 1 . For any ε ≥ 0 , the Laplace mechanism M ( x ) = f ( x ) + ( Y 1 , Y 2 , . . . , Y k ) is ( ε, 0) -DP when Y 1 , Y 2 , . . . , Y k are i.i.d. random variables drawn from Lap (0 , ∆ 1 /ε ) .
Proposition A.2 (Gaussian Mechanism (Balle &amp; Wang, 2018)) . Suppose f : D → R d is a function with glyph[lscript] 2 -sensitivity ∆ 2 . For any ε ≥ 0 and δ ∈ [0 , 1] , the Gaussian mechanism M ( x ) = f ( x ) + Z with Z N (0 , σ 2 I ) is ( ε, δ ) -DP if and only if

where Φ is the cdf of standard normal distribution.

Definition A.2. We say that two distributions P, Q on a domain X are ( ε, δ ) -close to each other, denoted by P ≈ ε,δ Q , if for every S ⊂ X , we have
<!-- formula-not-decoded -->
<!-- formula-not-decoded -->
We say that two random variables X,Y are ( ε, δ ) -close to each other, denoted by X ≈ ε,δ Y , if their distributions are ( ε, δ ) -close to each other.
We will need the following lemmas which is useful to prove ( ε, δ ) -DP.
Lemma A.1. Let P, Q be probability distributions over a domain X . If there exists an event E s.t. P ( E ) = 1 -δ and P | E ≈ ε,δ Q , then P ≈ ε,δ + δ Q .
Proof. Fix some subset S ⊆ X .
<!-- formula-not-decoded -->
We now prove the other direction.
<!-- formula-not-decoded -->
Now if e ε Pr x P [ x ∈ S ] ≤ 1 -δ , then we have Pr x Q [ x ∈ S ] ≤ e ε Pr x P [ x ∈ S ] + δ + δ. Otherwise, trivially
<!-- formula-not-decoded -->
We will also need the fact that if X ≈ ε,δ Y , then after postprocessing they also remain ( ε, δ ) -close.
Lemma A.2. If two random variables X,Y are ( ε, δ ) -close and M is any randomized algorithm, then M ( X ) ≈ ε,δ M ( Y ) .
Proof. Let M ( z ) = F ( z, R ) for some function F where R is the random bits used by M . For any subset S of the possible outputs of M ,
<!-- formula-not-decoded -->
The other direction holds by symmetry.
Proof of Theorem 3.1. Suppose D 1 and D 2 are neighboring databases where D 1 has one extra user compared to D 2 . Let P and Q denote the distribution of output of the algorithm when the database is D 1 and D 2 respectively. We want to show that P ≈ ε,δ Q . Let E be the event that A ⊂ supp( H 2 ) .
Claim A.1. P | E ≈ ε, 0 Q
Proof. Let H 1 and H 2 be the histograms generated by the algorithm from databases D 1 and D 2 respectively. And ˆ H 1 and ˆ H 2 be the histograms obtained by adding Lap (0 , 1 /ε ) noise to each entry of H 1 and H 2 respectively. For any possible output A of Algorithm 4, we have

So A P | E is obtained by postprocessing ˆ H 1 | E and A Q is obtained by postprocessing ˆ H 2 . Since postprocessing only makes two distributions closer (Lemma A.2), it is enough to show that the distributions of the ˆ H 1 | supp( H 2 ) and ˆ H 2 are ( ε, 0) -close to each other. Because the histogram building algorithm (Algorithm 2) has glyph[lscript] 1 -sensitivity of at most 1 by hypothesis, ∥ ∥ H 1 | supp( H 2 ) -H 2 ∥ ∥ glyph[lscript] 1 ≤ 1 . Therefore P | E ≈ ε, 0 Q by the properties of Laplace mechanism (Proposition A.1).
By Lemma A.1, it is enough to show that P ( E ) ≥ 1 -δ . Let T = supp( H 1 ) \ supp( H 2 ) . Note that | T | ≤ ∆ 0 and H 1 [ u ] ≤ 1 | T | for u ∈ T.
<!-- formula-not-decoded -->
Thus for
<!-- formula-not-decoded -->
we have P ( ¯ E ) ≤ δ . Therefore the DP Set Union algorithm (Algorithm 1) is ( ε, δ ) -DP.
Proof of Theorem 4.1. Suppose D 1 and D 2 are neighboring databases where D 1 has one extra user compared to D 2 . Let P and Q denote the distribution of output of the algorithm when the database is D 1 and D 2 respectively. We want to show that P ≈ ε,δ Q . Let E be the event that A ⊂ supp( H 2 ) .
Claim A.2. P | E ≈ ε,δ/ 2 Q
Proof. Let H 1 and H 2 be the histograms generated by the algorithm from databases D 1 and D 2 respectively. And ˆ H 1 and ˆ H 2 be the histograms obtained by adding N (0 , σ 2 ) noise to each entry of H 1 and H 2 respectively. By the postprocessing lemma (Lemma A.2), it is enough to show that the distributions of the ˆ H 1 | supp( H 2 ) and ˆ H 2 are ( ε, δ/ 2) -close to each other. Because the histogram building algorithm (Algorithm 2) has glyph[lscript] 2 -sensitivity of at most 1 by hypothesis, ∥ ∥ H 1 | supp( H 2 ) -H 2 ∥ ∥ glyph[lscript] 2 ≤ 1 . Therefore by properties of Gaussian mechanism (Proposition A.2), it is enough to choose σ as in the statement of the theorem.
By Lemma A.1, it is enough to show that P ( E ) ≥ 1 -δ/ 2 . Let T = supp( H 1 ) \ supp( H 2 ) . Note that | T | ≤ ∆ 0 and H 1 [ u ] ≤ 1 √ | T | for u ∈ T.
<!-- formula-not-decoded -->
Thus for
<!-- formula-not-decoded -->
we have P ( ¯ E ) ≤ δ/ 2 . Therefore the DP Set Union algorithm (Algorithm 1) is ( ε, δ ) -DP.
## B. Bounded Sensitivity implies DP (Proof of Theorem 1.2)
We will now prove a formal version of Theorem 1.2, i.e., if the histogram output by Algorithm 2 has bounded glyph[lscript] p -sensitivity (for p ∈ { 1 , 2 } ), then by adding appropriate noise and setting an appropriate threshold, Algorithm 1 for DP set union can be made differentially private. The lower bounds on the threshold ( ρ ) that we obtain in this generality are only slightly worse compared to the corresponding bounds in Theorems 3.1 and 4.1.
Theorem B.1. Suppose the histogram output by Algorithm 2 has glyph[lscript] 1 -sensitivity 1. Then Algorithm 1 is ( ε, δ ) -DP when the Noise distribution is Lap (0 , λ ) where λ = 1 /ε and the threshold
<!-- formula-not-decoded -->
Proof. Proof of Theorem B.1 is extremely similar to the proof of Theorem 3.1. The only place where it differes is in Equation (1) where we bound H 1 [ u ] ≤ 1 instead of H 1 [ u ] ≤ 1 / | T | .
Theorem B.2. Suppose the histogram output by Algorithm 2 has glyph[lscript] 2 -sensitivity 1. Then Algorithm 1 is ( ε, δ ) -DP when the Noise distribution is N (0 , σ 2 ) where σ and the threshold ρ are chosen s.t.
<!-- formula-not-decoded -->
Proof. Proof of Theorem B.2 is extremely similar to the proof of Theorem 4.1. The only place where it differes is in Equation (2) where we bound H 1 [ u ] ≤ 1 instead of H 1 [ u ] ≤ 1 / √ | T | .
## C. Proof of Lemma 4.1

In this section, we give a simple counter example to illustrate how the sensitivity of a greedy policy algorithm can be unbounded.
## Algorithm 3 GREEDY POLICY update
```text
Input: H : Current histogram W : A subset of U of size at most ∆ 0 Γ : cutoff parameter Output: H : Updated histogram // Build cost dictionary G G = {} // Empty dictionary for u ∈ W do if H [ u ] < Γ then // Gap to cutoff for items below cutoff Γ G [ u ] ← Γ -H [ u ] end if end for budget ← 1 // Each user gets a total budget of 1 // Sort in increasing order of the gap Γ -H [ u ] G ← sort( G ) // Let u 1 , u 2 , . . . , u | G | be the sorted order for j = 1 to | G | do if G [ u j ] ≤ budget then H [ u j ] ← H [ u j ] + G [ u j ] budget ← budget G [ u j ] else H [ u j ] ← H [ u j ]+ budget break end if end for

i 's contribution as H ( i ) [ u ] . Suppose user i has only item u 1 while users i +1 , i +2 , . . . , N have both items. Let H 1 be the histogram generated with all N users while H 2 be the histogram generated without user i . Let ∆ 0 = 2 and H ( i -1) [ u 1 ] &lt; H ( i -1) [ u 2 ] &lt; 1 + H ( i -1) [ u 1 ] . According to the greedy update described in Algorithm 3, in H 1 , user i will add weight 1 to u 1 and users i +1 , i +2 , . . . , N will also to u 1 since H ( i ) [ u 1 ] &gt; H ( i ) [ u 2 ] . In H 2 , users i +1 , i + 2 , . . . , N will add to u 2 since H ( i -1) [ u 1 ] &lt; H ( i -1) [ u 2 ] . This process is described in figure 3. Therefore the glyph[lscript] 1 -sensitivity of the histogram built using Greedy Policy update (Algorithm 3) can be Ω(Γ , N ) .
## F. Dataset Details
Using a log-log scale, the frequency of users for each unigram vs. the rank of the unigram is linear (Figure 4). In other words, the lowest ranked (most common) unigrams are used by almost all users while the highest ranked (least common) unigrams are used by very few users.
Figure 4. Frequency (i.e. number of users who use the unigram) vs. rank of the unigram (based on frequency) on a log-log scale. This linear relationship shows that the frequency of unigrams among users also follows Zipf's law (power law), i.e., count ∝ 1 / rank α for some constant α &gt; 0 . The α in this case is ≈ 1 .
<!-- image -->
The distribution of how many unigrams each user uses also follows a long tail distribution. While the top 10 users contribute between 850 and 2000 unique unigrams, most users (93.1%) contribute less than 100 unique unigrams. Table 1 summarizes the percentage of users with a unique vocabulary smaller than each threshold T provided.
Table 1. Percentage of users with unique unigram count of less than or equal to T. The vast majority of user have less than 100 unique unigrams.
| THRESHOLD (T) USERS WITH &#124; W i &#124; ≤ T | THRESHOLD (T) USERS WITH &#124; W i &#124; ≤ T |
| ---------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------- |
| 1 | 2.78% |
| 10 | 29.82% |
| 50 | 79.16% |
| 100 | 93.13% |
| 300 | 99.59% |
## G. Additional Experiments
## G.1. Multiple passes through each user
In the experiments described thus far, each user contributes items once within the budget constraints. We also investigate whether the output of set union increases in size when each user contributes the same budget over multiple passes (e.g. user 1 contributes half of their budget each time over 2 passes), we compare POLICY LAPLACE and POLICY GAUSSIAN outputs. Table 2 summarizes the results showing that there is not strong evidence suggesting that running multiple passes through the users improves the size of the output set.
## G.2. Selecting α : parameter to set threshold Γ
Figure 5 shows the number of unigrams released by POLICY LAPLACE and POLICY GAUSSIAN for various values of α . We observe that the number of unigrams released increases sharply until α = 4 , then remains nearly constant and then slowly decreases. This choice of α only affects the policy algorithms since the weighted and count algorithms do not use a threshold.

## THE EFFECT OF ε
Figure 6. Number of unigrams released for various values of ε . Here we fixed ∆ 0 = 100 and α = 5 .
<!-- image -->
We use ε = 3 for the experiments in table 1. At this value of ε our policy algorithms perform much better than previous count and weighted algorithms. To check whether this result holds with smaller ε , we also run these algorithms on various values of ε . Figure 6 shows that for ε ≥ 1 our policy algorithms always perform better.

PROFESSOR ADITYA BHARDWAJ
Research Professor, Anthropology and Sociology The Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies, Geneva
Aditya Bharadwaj is Research Professor of Anthropology and Sociology at the Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies, Geneva. His research is focused on the rapid spread of Assisted Reproductive and Stem Cell Biotechnologies around the globe. He has authored and co-authored several peer-reviewed journal articles and book chapters. He co-authored Risky Relations: Family, Kinship and the New Genetics (Berg, 2006) and is the lead author of the research monograph Local Cells, Global Science: The Proliferation of Stem Cell Technologies in India (Routledge, 2009). His forthcoming research monograph is titled Conceptions: Infertility and Technologies of Procreation in India (Berghahn, 2014).
## Abstract
The paper conceptualises corporeity as an emergent form of citizenship predicated on the liquidation of physical substance or existence. Drawing on three contemporary developments in the scientific capacity to harness biogenetic substance and support its gestation - in vitro fertilization, stem cells and surrogacy - the paper shows how selective transference of neo-liberal policies is facilitating the 'birth' of a new class of corporeal subject citizens in India. The paper situates these developments on the intersections of local and global efforts to produce greater legal oversight to achieve ethical appropriation of human biogenetic substance and capacity. The argument charts the political expediency underscoring these moves and examines the frayed contours of governance structures enabling the appropriation and liquidation of citizen corporeality in an emerging global bioeconomy.
