A Comparison of Different Machine Transliteration Models
Machine transliteration is a method for automatically converting words in one
language into phonetically equivalent ones in another language. Machine
transliteration plays an important role in natural language applications such
as information retrieval and machine translation, especially for handling
proper nouns and technical terms. Four machine transliteration models --
grapheme-based transliteration model, phoneme-based transliteration model,
hybrid transliteration model, and correspondence-based transliteration model --
have been proposed by several researchers. To date, however, there has been
little research on a framework in which multiple transliteration models can
operate simultaneously. Furthermore, there has been no comparison of the four
models within the same framework and using the same data. We addressed these
problems by 1) modeling the four models within the same framework, 2) comparing
them under the same conditions, and 3) developing a way to improve machine
transliteration through this comparison. Our comparison showed that the hybrid
and correspondence-based models were the most effective and that the four
models can be used in a complementary manner to improve machine transliteration
performance
Reply to "Comment on `First-principles calculation of the superconducting transition in MgB2 within the anisotropic Eliashberg formalism'"
The recent preprint by Mazin et al. [cond-mat/0212417] contains many
inappropriate evaluations and/or criticisms on our published work [Phys. Rev. B
66, 020513 (2002) and Nature 418, 758 (2002)]. The preprint
[cond-mat/0212417v1] was submitted to Physical Review B as a comment on one of
our papers [Phys. Rev. B 66, 020513 (2002)]. In the reviewing process, Mazin et
al. have withdrawn many of the statements contained in cond-mat/0212417v1,
however two claims remain in their revised manuscript [cond-mat/0212417v3]: (1)
the calculated variations of the superconducting energy gap within the sigma-
or the pi-bands are not observable in real samples due to scatterings, and (2)
the Coulomb repulsion mu(k,k') is negligibly small between sigma- and pi-states
and thus should be approximated by a diagonal 2 x 2 matrix in the sigma and pi
channels. Here, we point out that the former does not affect the validity of
our theoretical work which is for the clean limit, and that the latter is not
correct
Deconstruction and Gauge Theories in AdS_5
On a slice of AdS_5, despite having a dimensionful coupling, gauge theories
can exhibit logarithmic dependence on scale. In this paper, we utilize
deconstruction to analyze the scaling behavior of the theory, both above and
below the AdS curvature scale, and shed light on position-dependent
regularizations of the theory. We comment on applications to geometries other
than AdS.Comment: 15 pages, 1 figur
Persistence of singlet fluctuations in the coupled spin tetrahedra system Cu2Te2O5Br2 revealed by high-field magnetization and 79Br NQR - 125Te NMR
We present high-field magnetization and Br nuclear quadrupole
resonance (NQR) and Te nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) studies in the
weakly coupled Cu () tetrahedral system CuTeOBr.
The field-induced level crossing effects were observed by the magnetization
measurements in a long-ranged magnetically ordered state which was confirmed by
a strong divergence of the spin-lattice relaxation rate 1/T1 at T0=13.5 K. In
the paramagnetic state, 1/T1 reveals an effective singlet-triplet spin gap much
larger than that observed by static bulk measurements. Our results imply that
the inter- and the intra-tetrahedral interactions compete, but at the same time
they cooperate strengthening effectively the local intratetrahedral exchange
couplings. We discuss that the unusual feature originates from the frustrated
intertetrahedral interactions.Comment: 5 pages, 4 figures, accepted in Phys. Rev. B as a Rapid

Sparticle masses in deflected mirage mediation
We discuss the sparticle mass patterns that can be realized in deflected
mirage mediation scenario of supersymmetry breaking, in which the moduli,
anomaly, and gauge mediations all contribute to the MSSM soft parameters.
Analytic expression of low energy soft parameters and also the sfermion mass
sum rules are derived, which can be used to interpret the experimentally
measured sparticle masses within the framework of the most general mixed
moduli-gauge-anomaly mediation. Phenomenological aspects of some specific
examples are also discussed.Comment: 43 pages, 17 figures, references adde
The Gaugino Code
Gauginos might play a crucial role in the search for supersymmetry at the
Large Hadron Collider (LHC). Mass predictions for gauginos are rather robust
and often related to the values of the gauge couplings. We analyse the ratios
of gaugino masses in the LHC energy range for various schemes of supersymmetry
breakdown and mediation. Three distinct mass patterns emerge.Comment: 42 pages, Latex; a discussion of deflected anomaly mediation added,
