    Improving the digital literacy of civil servants is an inherent requirement for promoting government digital transformation and enhancing digital governance capabilities. Exploring the policy evolution and implementation path for improving the digital literacy and skills of British civil servants can provide reference for strengthening the digital literacy and skills training of Chinese civil servants. Through literature research and desktop survey, this paper has gathered relevant policy texts and activity data on digital literacy education and digital capacity building of British civil servants, so as to systematically sort out their policy evolution and practice contents. The digital literacy and skills improvement policy of British civil servants has gone through three stages: initial emphasis on technology-led, mid-term construction of comprehensive competence system and training framework, and current systematic optimization. With the gradual deepening of policy cognition, the policy goals, framework, subjects, and tools have been continuously optimized, showing the evolution characteristics that are highly consistent with the national data strategy and the government's digital transformation. In terms of implementation, it has taken the lead in strengthening advanced civil servant training, given priority to progressive classification, and relied on platform construction and ecosystem creation to form a comprehensive training system with diverse forms and distinctive features. That has provided reference and learning for China in terms of policy system, training organization, content construction, and platform network.

    Due to its intelligent and personalization, online learning has increasingly become a favored mainstream learning method. However, the existence of the 'affective gap' severely hampers the development of online teaching activities. It is imperative to research how to instantaneously and accurately perceive emotional cues in learning to provide guidance for improving learning performance. This paper constructs a multimodal data fusion model for emotional computation in online learning. Facial expressions, voice, and text data of subjects are collected, and emotional recognition models are employed to obtain emotional recognition results for each modality. Based on decision-level fusion, multimodal emotional computation in online learning is achieved, determining the optimal emotional computation model. The study reveals that the average recognition accuracy based on the optimal emotional computation model has increased by 14.51% compared to single-modal emotional recognition. This confirms the feasibility and effectiveness of the model in emotional computation within online learning scenarios.

    As the fifth scientific research paradigm, AI4S is an important tool to promote the development of the new quality productive forces in the field of scientific research, and one of its components is data, which is the basis for the training of AI4S big models, and it needs high-quality and multi-type data. At a time when the utilization of data for commercial big models is becoming more and more limited, it is especially important to pay attention to the supply of data elements for scientific research big models in time, so as to accelerate the release of the new quality productive forces of AI4S from the code. The supply of data elements for AI4S is a complex systematic project, and the value orientation should be data altruism rather than data egoism, so as to realize the public welfare purpose of scientific research and the empowerment goal of serving the society, the corresponding paths should be chosen according to different types of data, i.e., the supply paths of public data, enterprise data, personal data, scientific data, and artwork data, etc. that should be chosen respectively, such as the supply paths of conditional gratuitous, cost-compensated, voluntary agreement, mutual, sharing, and fair use. And at the same time, attention should be paid to preventing and controlling the potential risks of copyright infringement, privacy disclosure, data breaches, data leakage and value alignment.

    Under the development trend of the widespread application of multi-modal large models in vertically subdivision fields, the next generation of library’s service in mass entrepreneurship and innovation urgently needs to be embedded with integrated intelligent generative tools. Library’s service in innovation and entrepreneurship based on intelligent generation technology will drive libraries to transition from passive simple services to on-demand complex services, from scheduled regional services to all-time ubiquitous services, and from low-quality and inefficient services to high-quality and efficient services. However, they also face technical issues such as training data, core algorithms, and database deployment, as well as risks related to value alignment, compliance review or supervisory management. The practical process of library’s service in innovation and entrepreneurship based on intelligent generation technology should follow basic principles of participatory design, generative design, intensive design, and compliance design, gradually forming a library's generative intelligent system of assisting service, that includes at least service object intelligent assistance module, service personnel intelligent assistance module, and service supervision intelligent assistance module.

    In the era of intelligent media, exploring the impact of the information cocoon effect on user behavioral willingness in group polarization can provide suggestions for building a good ecosystem of social media platform. This paper was conducted based on the "stimulus-organism-response" framework and the theory of information ecology. Starting from the homogenization characteristics of the information cocoon, the study analyzed the mechanism of information cocoon formation and constructed a model of user group polarization under the information cocoon effect. The study then collected samples through questionnaire surveys and conducted empirical research through structural equation modeling. The results show that information homogenization, selective contact, inter-group emotion and social comparison frequency play an important role in the formation of users' behavior intention in group polarization. At the same time, user attitude polarization is also an influential factor of user group's behavioral willingness to polarization under the information cocoon effect.
