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

Heralded Entanglement between Atomic Ensembles: Preparation, Decoherence, and Scaling
Heralded entanglement between collective excitations in two atomic ensembles
is probabilistically generated, stored, and converted to single photon fields.
By way of the concurrence, quantitative characterizations are reported for the
scaling behavior of entanglement with excitation probability and for the
temporal dynamics of various correlations resulting in the decay of
entanglement. A lower bound of the concurrence for the collective atomic state
of 0.9\pm 0.3 is inferred. The decay of entanglement as a function of storage
time is also observed, and related to the local dynamics.Comment: 4 page
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

Characterisation of the dynamical quantum state of a zero temperature Bose-Einstein condensate
We describe the quantum state of a Bose-Einstein condensate at zero
temperature. By evaluating the Q-function we show that the ground state of
Bose-Einstein condensate under the Hartree approximation is squeezed. We find
that multimode Schroedinger cat states are generated as the condensate evolves
in a ballistic expansion.Comment: 13 pages, 6 figure
First axion dark matter search with toroidal geometry
We firstly report an axion haloscope search with toroidal geometry. In this
pioneering search, we exclude the axion-photon coupling
down to about GeV over the axion mass range from 24.7
to 29.1 eV at a 95\% confidence level. The prospects for axion dark matter
searches with larger scale toroidal geometry are also considered.Comment: 5 pages, 5 figures, 1 table and to appear in PRD-R
Multiply Warped Products with Non-Smooth Metrics
In this article we study manifolds with -metrics and properties of
Lorentzian multiply warped products. We represent the interior Schwarzschild
space-time as a multiply warped product space-time with warping functions and
we also investigate the curvature of a multiply warped product with
-warping functions. We given the {\it{Ricci curvature}} in terms of ,
for the multiply warped products of the form $M=(0,\
2m)\times_{f_1}R^1\times_{f_2} S^2$.Comment: LaTeX, 7 page
Dynamical solution to the problem at TeV scale
We introduce a new confining force (\mu-color) at TeV scale to dynamically
generate a supersymmetry preserving mass scale which would replace the \mu
parameter in the minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM). We discuss the
Higgs phenomenology and also the pattern of soft supersymmetry breaking
parameters allowing the correct electroweak symmetry breaking within the
\mu-color model, which have quite distinctive features from the MSSM and also
from other generalizations of the MSSM.Comment: 12 pages, REVte
