Few-Shot Out-of-Domain Transfer Learning of Natural Language Explanations in a Label-Abundant Setup
Training a model to provide natural language explanations (NLEs) for its predictions usually requires the acquisition of task-specific NLEs, which is time- and resource-consuming. A potential solution is the few-shot out-of-domain transfer of NLEs from a parent task with many NLEs to a child task. In this work, we examine the setup in which the child task has few NLEs but abundant labels. We establish four few-shot transfer learning methods that cover the possible fine-tuning combinations of the labels and NLEs for the parent and child tasks. We transfer explainability from a large natural language inference dataset (e-SNLI) separately to two child tasks: (1) hard cases of pronoun resolution, where we introduce the small-e-WinoGrande dataset of NLEs on top of the WinoGrande dataset, and (2) commonsense validation (ComVE). Our results demonstrate that the parent task helps with NLE generation and we establish the best methods for this setup
Precision Measurement of 11Li moments: Influence of Halo Neutrons on the 9Li Core
The electric quadrupole moment and the magnetic moment of the 11Li halo
nucleus have been measured with more than an order of magnitude higher
precision than before, |Q| = 33.3(5)mb and mu=3.6712(3)mu_N, revealing a
8.8(1.5)% increase of the quadrupole moment relative to that of 9Li. This
result is compared to various models that aim at describing the halo
properties. In the shell model an increased quadrupole moment points to a
significant occupation of the 1d orbits, whereas in a simple halo picture this
can be explained by relating the quadrupole moments of the proton distribution
to the charge radii. Advanced models so far fail to reproduce simultaneously
the trends observed in the radii and quadrupole moments of the lithium
isotopes.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figures, 1 tabl
Spectroscopic distinction between the normal state pseudogap and the superconducting gap of cuprate high T_{c} superconductors
We report on broad-band infrared ellipsometry measurements of the c-axis
conductivity of underdoped RBa_{2}Cu_{3}O_{7-d} (R=Y, Nd, and La) single
crystals. Our data provide a detailed account of the spectral weight (SW)
redistributions due to the normal state pseudogap (PG) and the superconducting
(SC) gap. They show that these phenomena involve different energy scales,
exhibit distinct doping dependencies and thus are likely of different origin.
In particular, the SW redistribution in the PG state closely resembles the one
of a conventional charge- or spin density wave (CDW or SDW) system.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figure
Manifestation of pseudogap in ab-plane optical characteristics
A model in which a gap forms in the renormalized electronic density of state
(DOS) with missing states recovered just above the pseudogap , is
able to give a robust description of the striking, triangular like, peak seen
in the real part of the optical self-energy of underdoped cuprates. We use this
model to explore the effect of the pseudogap on the real part of the optical
conductivity and on the partial sum rule associated with it. An important
result is that the optical spectral weight redistributes over a much larger
frequency window than it does in the DOS.Comment: 12 pages, 3 figures. Submitted to Journal of Physics: Condensed

Production of new neutron-rich isotopes of heavy elements in fragmentation reactions of U projectiles at 1 A GeV
The production of heavy neutron-rich nuclei has been investigated using cold
fragmentation reactions of U projectiles at relativistic energies. The
experiment performed at the high-resolving-power magnetic spectrometer FRS at
GSI allowed to identify 45 new heavy neutron-rich nuclei: Pt,
Au, Hg, Tl, Pb, Bi,
Po, At, Rn and Fr. The production
cross sections of these nuclei were also determined and used to benchmark
reaction codes that predict the production of nuclei far from stability.Comment: 5 pages, 2 figure
Nuclear Charge Radius of Be
The nuclear charge radius of Be was precisely determined using the
technique of collinear laser spectroscopy on the transition in the Be ion. The mean square charge radius increases
from Be to Be by \delta ^{10,12} = 0.69(5) \fm^{2}
compared to \delta ^{10,11} = 0.49(5) \fm^{2} for the
one-neutron halo isotope Be. Calculations in the fermionic molecular
dynamics approach show a strong sensitivity of the charge radius to the
structure of Be. The experimental charge radius is consistent with a
breakdown of the N=8 shell closure.Comment: 5 pages, 3 figure
Ground-State Electromagnetic Moments of Calcium Isotopes
High-resolution bunched-beam collinear laser spectroscopy was used to measure
the optical hyperfine spectra of the Ca isotopes. The ground state
magnetic moments of Ca and quadrupole moments of Ca were
measured for the first time, and the Ca ground state spin was
determined in a model-independent way. Our results provide a critical test of
modern nuclear theories based on shell-model calculations using
phenomenological as well as microscopic interactions. The results for the
neutron-rich isotopes are in excellent agreement with predictions using
interactions derived from chiral effective field theory including three-nucleon
forces, while lighter isotopes illustrate the presence of particle-hole
excitations of the Ca core in their ground state.Comment: Accepted as a Rapid Communication in Physical Review
