The island of Syros consists largely of possibly-repeated sequences of glaucophane-bearing calcareous schists, mafic schists, dolomite marbles, and calcite marbles containing abundant aragonite pseudomorphs (Dixon, 1969; Hecht, 1984). Several discrete, fault-bounded packages of blueschist/eclogite-facies mafic rocks with minor serpentinite are also found on the island. Although the mafic rocks ...

In many QA systems, fine-grained named entities are extracted by coarse-grained named entity recognizer and fine-grained named entity dictionary. In this paper, we describe a fine-grained Named Entity Recognition using Conditional Random Fields (CRFs) for question answering. We used CRFs to detect boundary of named entities and Maximum Entropy (ME) to classify named entity classes. Using the pr...

Global sparse analysis framework aims to design precise, sound, yet scalable static analyzers systematically. The framework breaks the tradeoff between general-purpose but coarse-grained sparse analyses and fine-grained but limited-purpose sparse analyses by providing a general-purpose fine-grained sparse analysis framework. However, the formal aspect of the framework has not been presented rig...

Current lexical semantic theories provide representations at a coarse grained level. In this paper, I will provide motivations for a fine grained representation for verbs and. nouns. An initial case study is done to serve as evidence that a more detailed representation is needed for tasks that require high accuracy rates, such as machine translation. An automatic approach to gather fine grained...

The microstructure and residual stresses of an AA6040 Al to AZ31B Mg friction stir weld are studied using scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction. The complex material flow promoted by the friction stir welding process results in a fine grained structure in the stir zone of both materials due to dynamic/recovery recrystallization. The interface between the materials is characterized ...

We investigate the relation between fine-grained and coarse-grained distributed computations of a class of problems related to the generic transitive closure problem (TC for short). We choose an intricate systolic algorithm for the TC problem, by Guibas, Kung and Thompson (GKT algorithm for short), as a starting point due to its particularly close relationship to matrix multiplication. The GKT ...

Named Entity Recognition and Classification (NERC) is a well-studied NLP task typically focused on coarse-grained named entity (NE) classes. NERC for more fine-grained semantic NE classes has not been systematically studied. This paper quantifies the difficulty of fine-grained NERC (FG-NERC) when performed at large scale on the people domain. We apply unsupervised acquisition methods to constru...

One of the main hydraulic properties unsaturated soils is Soil-Water Characteristic Curve (SWCC). It essential to understand, predict soil water storage and determine mechanical behaviour soils. These curves can be obtained by direct indirect measurements. The measurements obtain these are expensive, delicate perform really slow for fine soils, so predictive models become necessary. In order ma...

Tree-to-string translation rules are widely used in linguistically syntax-based statistical machine translation systems. In this paper, we propose to use deep syntactic information for obtaining fine-grained translation rules. A head-driven phrase structure grammar (HPSG) parser is used to obtain the deep syntactic information, which includes a fine-grained description of the syntactic property...

In this paper, we present a simple and effective fine-grained feature generation scheme for dependency parsing. We focus on the problem of grammar representation, introducing fine-grained features by splitting various POS tags to different degrees using HowNet hierarchical semantic knowledge. To prevent the oversplitting, we adopt a threshold-constrained bottomup strategy to merge the derived s...
