24 Computer with a predicate value of true executes normally. If the predicate is false, the associated instruction—although issued—does not write its results to registers or memory. Research has shown predication to be effective at removing branches and at decreasing penalties from branch mispredicts.1 A simple code example with a difficult-to-predict branch illustrates how predication can rem...

In this paper, we explore different ways to account for the peculiarities of depictive secondary predication in English, which we think can be characterized as longdistance modification. Other than with resultative secondary predication, the depictive and its target, typically the subject or direct object of a verbal phrase, do not form a contiguous constituent. Instead, the depictive attaches ...

Predicating macroscopic influences of drugs on human body, like efficacy and toxicity, is a central problem of smallmolecule based drug discovery. Molecules can be represented as an undirected graph, and we can utilize graph convolution networks to predication molecular properties. However, graph convolutional networks and other graph neural networks all focus on learning node-level representat...
