In this note, we show that exponentially deep belief networks can approximate any distribution over binary vectors to arbitrary accuracy, even when the width of each layer is limited to the dimensionality of the data. We further show that such networks can be greedily learned in an easy yet impractical way.

School of Economics & Management, Shanghai Maritime University, Shanghai, China.
Analyzing the interactions between spot and time charter freight is crucial for the maritime industry. While numerous studies have explored the relationship between average freight indices and spillover effects, a gap remains in understanding the deeper connections between inter-regional shipping routes and chartering contracts. This research investigates the role of Capesize freight dynamics in shaping the regional dry bulk freight market, with a focus on the influence of energy and commodity price fluctuations.

Family farmers face various business risks, including natural disasters, policies, technology adoption, and market uncertainties. This paper develops a conceptual framework for the formation mechanism of family farmers' business adaptation behaviors by linking "risk perception, key beliefs, and adaptation behavior". Using microdata from 363 family farmers in Sichuan Province, China, and applying ordered logit model regression analysis, we find that both risk perception and key beliefs positively influence family farmers' business adaptation behavior.

Infodemics surrounding pandemics and epidemics have persisted for centuries and continue to impede efforts to promote high vaccination coverage. We explored the complex interplay between COVID-19 vaccination attitudes and COVID-19-related infodemics across Germany, Ghana, India, and New Zealand using the novel network analysis. We conducted an online cross-sectional survey and recruited 1822 participants from the general populations of India (n = 411), New Zealand (n = 413), Ghana (n = 523), and Germany (n = 413) to complete COVID-19 infodemic measures and demographics questions.

Methods: Using an innovative and participant-driven method called Concept Mapping (CM), we set out to understand how the lives and experiences of South Asian women living in Ontario shape their decisions around getting screened for cervical cancer.
