High activation energy, chemically amplified resist systems exhibit a 4% to 15% volume shrinkage during the post-exposure bake process. Current lithography process simulators do not take this volume shrinkage into account, thus violating the continuity equations used to model the process. This work aims at describing the kinetics of the post-exposure bake process by tracking the volume shrinkag...

This paper introduces an overview of Chinese Spelling Check task at SIGHAN Bake-off 2013. We describe all aspects of the task for Chinese spelling check, consisting of task description, data preparation, performance metrics, and evaluation results. This bake-off contains two subtasks, i.e., error detection and error correction. We evaluate the systems that can automatically point out the spelli...

This paper describes our Chinese spelling check system submitted to SIGHAN Bake-off 2014 evaluation. The system’s main components are still the conditional random field (CRF)-based word segmentation/part-ofspeech (POS) tagger and tri-gram language model (LM) used last year. But we tried to refine the misspelling rules, decision-making threshold and improve LM rescoring speed to reduce false ala...

The Shake-and-Bake algorithm is a powerful formulation of direct methods which alternates reciprocal-space phase refinement with filtering in real space to impose constraints. As implemented in SnB version 1.5, the current distributed version of the computer program, Shake-and-Bake combines peak picking in real space with optimization via either parameter-shift reduction of the minimal-function...

Suppose that a bakery is interested in studying the effects of three different sugar substitutes on the optimal baking time of birthday cakes. To perform the study, the baker wishes to bake several cakes using each of the three substitutes, as well as real sugar, and determine the time to browning for each cake. Unfortunately, the baker knows the the exact oven temperature can effect the length...

A novel approach to Machine Translation (MT), called Shake-and-Bake , is presented, which exploits recent advances iLL Computational Linguistics in terms of tile increased spread of lexicMist unification-based grammar theories. It is argued that it overcomes some difficulties encountered by transfer and interfingual methods. It offers a greater modularity of the monolingual components, which ca...

alizing large 3D data sets from scientific or medical applications. Transfer functions are particularly important to the quality of direct volume-rendered images. A transfer function assigns optical properties, such as color and opacity, to original values of the data set being visualized. Unfortunately, finding good transfer functions proves difficult. Pat Hanrahan called it one of the top 10 ...
