Using Decision Trees for Coreference Resolution
This paper describes RESOLVE, a system that uses decision trees to learn how
to classify coreferent phrases in the domain of business joint ventures. An
experiment is presented in which the performance of RESOLVE is compared to the
performance of a manually engineered set of rules for the same task. The
results show that decision trees achieve higher performance than the rules in
two of three evaluation metrics developed for the coreference task. In addition
to achieving better performance than the rules, RESOLVE provides a framework
that facilitates the exploration of the types of knowledge that are useful for
solving the coreference problem.Comment: 6 pages; LaTeX source; 1 uuencoded compressed EPS file (separate);

The Rent-Price Ratio for the Aggregate Stock of Owner-Occupied Housing
We construct a time series of the rent-price ratio for the owner- occupied stock of housing, starting in 1960:1, by merging micro data from the last five Decennial Censuses of Housing with price indexes for house prices and rents.House Prices, Housing, Rents, CMHPI, Capitalization Rates
CPT and Lorentz violation as signatures for Planck-scale physics
In recent years, the breakdown of spacetime symmetries has been identified as
a promising research field in the context of Planck-scale phenomenology. For
example, various theoretical approaches to the quantum-gravity problem are
known to accommodate minute violations of CPT invariance. This talk covers
various topics within this research area. In particular, some mechanisms for
spacetime-symmetry breaking as well as the Standard-Model Extension (SME) test
framework will be reviewed; the connection between CPT and Lorentz invariance
in quantum field theory will be exposed; and various experimental CPT tests
with emphasis on matter--antimatter comparisons will be discussed.Comment: 6 page

Prospects for cooling nanomechanical motion by coupling to a superconducting microwave resonator
Recent theoretical work has shown that radiation pressure effects can in
principle cool a mechanical degree of freedom to its ground state. In this
paper, we apply this theory to our realization of an opto-mechanical system in
which the motion of mechanical oscillator modulates the resonance frequency of
a superconducting microwave circuit. We present experimental data demonstrating
the large mechanical quality factors possible with metallic, nanomechanical
beams at 20 mK. Further measurements also show damping and cooling effects on
the mechanical oscillator due to the microwave radiation field. These data
motivate the prospects for employing this dynamical backaction technique to
cool a mechanical mode entirely to its quantum ground state.Comment: 6 pages, 6 figure
Tunable coupling to a mechanical oscillator circuit using a coherent feedback network
We demonstrate a fully cryogenic microwave feedback network composed of
modular superconducting devices connected by transmission lines and designed to
control a mechanical oscillator coupled to one of the devices. The network
features an electromechanical device and a tunable controller that coherently
receives, processes and feeds back continuous microwave signals that modify the
dynamics and readout of the mechanical state. While previous electromechanical
systems represent some compromise between efficient control and efficient
readout of the mechanical state, as set by the electromagnetic decay rate, the
tunable controller produces a closed-loop network that can be dynamically and
continuously tuned between both extremes much faster than the mechanical
response time. We demonstrate that the microwave decay rate may be modulated by
at least a factor of 10 at a rate greater than times the mechanical
response rate. The system is easy to build and suggests that some useful
functions may arise most naturally at the network-level of modular, quantum
electromagnetic devices.Comment: 11 pages, 6 figures, final published versio
