Analysis of the Strongly Interacting WW System : Gold - Plated Modes

We study the gold-plated purely leptonic signal and background rates at the LHC for the ZZ, W + W − , W ± Z and W ± W ± final states associated with strongly interacting electroweak symmetry breaking. We work at an energy of √ s = 14 TeV, and develop a combination of back-to-back leptonic, central-jet-vetoing and forward-jet-tagging cuts that suppresses the Standard-Model backgrounds. We find t...

Gold Standard Gravity

This paper provides striking confirmation of the restrictions of the structural gravity model of trade. Structural forces predicted by theory explain 95% of the variation of the fixed effects used to control for them in the recent gravity literature, fixed effects that in principle could reflect other forces. This validation opens avenues to inferring unobserved sectoral activity and multilater...

Exposing ambiguities in a relation-extraction gold standard with crowdsourcing

Semantic relation extraction is one of the frontiers of biomedical natural language processing research. Gold standards are key tools for advancing this research. It is challenging to generate these standards because of the high cost of expert time and the difficulty in establishing agreement between annotators. We implemented and evaluated a microtask crowdsourcing approach that can produce a ...
