Length-scale dependency of biomimetic hard-soft composites

Parsing with Soft and Hard Constraints on Dependency Length

In lexicalized phrase-structure or dependency parses, a word’s modifiers tend to fall near it in the string. We show that a crude way to use dependency length as a parsing feature can substantially improve parsing speed and accuracy in English and Chinese, with more mixed results on German. We then show similar improvements by imposing hard bounds on dependency length and (additionally) modelin...

Favor Short Dependencies: Parsing with Soft and Hard Constraints on Dependency Length

In lexicalized phrase-structure or dependency parses, a word’s modifiers tend to fall near it in the string. This fact can be exploited by parsers. We first show that a crude way to use dependency length as a parsing feature can substantially improve parsing speed and accuracy in English and Chinese, with more mixed results on German. We then show similar improvements by imposing hard bounds on...

Nanometer Scale Hard/Soft Bilayer Magnetic Antidots

The effect of arrays of nanometer scale pores on the magnetic properties of thin films has been analyzed. Particularly, we investigated the influence of the out-of-plane magnetization component created by the nanopores on the in-plane magnetic behavior of patterned hard/soft magnetic thin films in antidot morphology. Its influence on the coupling in Co/Py bilayers of few tens of nanometer thick...
