China's grain output has exceeded 650 million metric tons for six consecutive years and the country has basically achieved self-sufficiency in terms of grain seeds, political adviser Wan Jianmin said during an interview before the opening of the fourth session of the 13th National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference on Thursday. "We have enough food to eat and can buy rice and wheat flour whenever we want," said Wan, who is also the vice-president of the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences. He added that 96 percent of plantations in the country are using domestically cultivated crop varieties, and some of the rice varieties have already reached the same standards found in other rice producing nations such as Japan and Thailand. But there are still shortfalls still in some varieties and in market regulation, which should be enhanced with targeted policies and technologies to further ensure food security and help people eat well, Wan said. ... » Learn More about Self sufficiency ‘basically achieved’ in grain seeds

In recent years, artificial intelligence has been attracting increasing attention, money and talent. But much of the hype is the result of myths and misconceptions being peddled by people outside of the field. For many years, the field was growing incrementally, with existing approaches performing around 1-2 percent better each year on standard benchmarks. But there was a real breakthrough in 2012, when computer scientist Geoffrey Hinton and his colleagues at the University of Toronto showed that their "deep learning" algorithms could beat state-of-the-art computer vision algorithms by a margin of 10.8 percentage points on the ImageNet Challenge (a benchmark dataset). At the same time, AI researchers were benefiting from ever-more powerful tools, including cost-effective cloud computing, fast and cheap number-crunching hardware (GPUs), seamless data sharing through the internet, and advances in high-quality open-source software. Owing to these factors, machine learning, and ... » Learn More about Get real about artificial intelligence

National legislators have welcomed the first batch of judicial interpretations of the Civil Code, regarding it as a strong step in promoting a fundamental and comprehensive civil law. The first batch involved seven interpretations of laws, including some related to property, labor disputes, marriage and family, and inheritance. They were released by the Supreme People's Court, the country's top court, at the end of last year. The interpretations and the code took effect on Jan 1. The top court has reviewed 591 existing interpretations and normative documents since the code was passed by the National People's Congress, the country's top legislative body, in May. It has revised 111 and abolished 116 that were inconsistent with the code or could not meet the new requirements for social and economic development. Regarding the code as a milestone in the improvement of the civil legal system, Ma Yide, an NPC deputy, said the formulation and clarification of the interpretations will ... » Learn More about Legislators welcome first judicial interpretations

SANTIAGO : Albemarle Corp, the world's top lithium producer, has accused a Chilean regulator of "unjust" discrimination for refusing to make public a key report on the impact of mining on the Atacama salt flat, according to court filings. U.S.-based Albemarle in July last year asked to see the publicly funded report but regulator Corfo rejected the request after Chilean miner SQM , a top competitor, objected on grounds it contained confidential information. A government watchdog upheld the decision. Both Albemarle and SQM - the only two lithium miners on the salt flat - contributed data to the report. But while SQM's contract with the government allows it to review and comment on the study, Albemarle's agreement does not. Albemarle blasted that discrepancy in previously unreported arguments made before a Santiago appeals court in February, saying it resulted in "arbitrary, unjust, illegal, and above all, unconstitutional discrimination." The company is appealing the ... » Learn More about Lithium giant Albemarle slams Chile over ‘unjust’ withholding of Atacama study
