With the exponential growth of multimedia datasets comes the need to combine multiple data representations to create "conceptual" vector spaces in order to use all available sources of information. Following previous experiments [1], in this paper we explore how two different languages can be combined to better represent information. Methods to create textual representations, such as Word2Vec and GloVe, are already well-established in academia and, usually, a single representation method is used in Machine Learning tasks. In this paper, we investigate the effects of different combinations of textual representations to perform classification tasks on a multilingual dataset composed of international news in Portuguese and English. This paper aims to analyze the differences between combinations, and how these representations perform in a small dataset with multiple data inputs.

A 73-year-old woman diagnosed with unresectable pancreatic cancer received weekly gemcitabine(GEM)plus albuminbound paclitaxel(nab-PTX)therapy. Four months after nab-PTX therapy was initiated, she presented with a rapidly decreasing vision in her left eye at an ophthalmology clinic. On admission, her visual acuity was decreased, and optical coherence tomography(OCT)revealed a cystoid macular edema(CME)only in her left eye. She discontinued the nab-PTX therapy immediately. Her visual acuity improved on follow-up 6 months later. The CME finding on OCT was reduced but not completely resolved. CME is a rare adverse event induced by nab-PTX therapy, with only 14 cases reported since 2008. In most of the reported cases, the patients had breast cancer, and this is the first reported case of CME in a patient with pancreatic cancer. The time to CME onset from starting nab-PTX therapy was reported to range from3 to 30months, but the predilection time has not been clarified. Many reports indicated that symptoms improved in a short period after discontinuation of nab-PTX therapy, but effective treatment was not established, except discontinuation of nab-PTX therapy. In daily medical treatment, the incongruity of the ophthalmologic domain should be confirmed for early detection of CME.

Although the hot-top continuous casting process is advantageous in that it enables multistrand casting production of oxide-free ingots of aluminum and aluminum alloys, the ingots it yields are prone to have surface defects such as exudated droplets.
