Crossover States Of Vortex Matter In Trapped Bose Condensates, S. Kragset, Egor Babaev, A. Sudbo Jan 2006

Crossover States Of Vortex Matter In Trapped Bose Condensates, S. Kragset, Egor Babaev, A. Sudbo

Egor Babaev

We perform Monte Carlo studies of vortices in three dimensions in a cylindrical confinement, with uniform and nonuniform density. The former is relevant to rotating 4He, the latter is relevant to a rotating trapped Bose condensate. In the former case we find dominant angular thermal vortex fluctuations close to the cylinder wall. For the latter case, a novel effect is that at low temperatures the vortex solid close to the center of the trap crosses directly over to a tension-less vortex tangle near the edge of the trap. At higher temperatures an intermediate tension-full vortex liquid located between the vortex …


Complexity, Parallel Computation And Statistical Physics, Jonathan Machta Jan 2006

Complexity, Parallel Computation And Statistical Physics, Jonathan Machta

Jonathan Machta

The intuition that a long history is required for the emergence of complexity in natural systems is formalized using the notion of depth. The depth of a system is defined in terms of the number of parallel computational steps needed to simulate it. Depth provides an objective, irreducible measure of history that is applicable to systems of the kind studied in statistical physics. It is argued that physical complexity cannot occur in the absence of substantial depth and that depth is a useful proxy for physical complexity. The ideas are illustrated for a variety of systems in statistical physics


On 3+1 Dimensional Scalar Field Cosmologies, Panos Kevrekidis Jan 2006

On 3+1 Dimensional Scalar Field Cosmologies, Panos Kevrekidis

Panos Kevrekidis

In this communication, we analyze the case of 3+1 dimensional scalar field cosmologies in the presence, as well as in the absence of spatial curvature, in isotropic, as well as in anisotropic settings. Our results extend those of Hawkins and Lidsey [Phys. Rev. D {\bf 66}, 023523 (2002)], by including the non-flat case. The Ermakov-Pinney methodology is developed in a general form, allowing through the converse results presented herein to use it as a tool for constructing new solutions to the original equations. As an example of this type a special blowup solution recently obtained in Christodoulakis {\it et al.} …


Ergodic Properties Of Markov Processes, L Rey-Bellet Jan 2006

Ergodic Properties Of Markov Processes, L Rey-Bellet

Luc Rey-Bellet

In these notes we discuss Markov processes, in particular stochastic differential equations (SDE) and develop some tools to analyze their long-time behavior. There are several ways to analyze such properties, and our point of view will be to use systematically Liapunov functions which allow a nice characterization of the ergodic properties. In this we follow, at least in spirit, the excellent book of Meyn and Tweedie [7]. In general a Liapunov function W is a positive function which grows at infinity and satisfies an inequality involving the generator of the Markov process L: roughly speaking we have the implications (α …


Open Classical Systems, L Rey-Bellet Jan 2006

Open Classical Systems, L Rey-Bellet

Luc Rey-Bellet

Open systems are usually understood as a small Hamiltonian system (i.e. with a finite number of degrees of freedom) in contact with one or several large reservoirs. There are several ways to model reservoirs and we will take the point of view that the reservoirs are also Hamiltonian systems themselves. It is a convenient physical and mathematical idealization to separate scales and assume that the reservoirs have infinitely many degrees of freedom. We will also assume that, to start with, the reservoirs are in equilibrium, i.e., the initial states of the reservoirs are distributed according to Gibbs distribution with given …

We have measured the parity-violating electroweak asymmetry in the elastic scattering of polarized electrons from 4He at an average scattering angle = 5.7 degrees and a four-momentum transfer Q2 = 0.091 GeV2 . From these data, for the first time, the strange electric form factor of the nucleon G(E)s can be isolated. The measured asymmetry of A(PV) = (6.72 +/- 0.84(stat) +/- 0.21(syst) x 10(-6) yields a value of G(E)s = -0.038 +/- 0.042(stat) +/- 0.010(syst), consistent with zero.


Numerical Study Of The Random Field Ising Model At Zero And Positive Temperature, Yong Wu, Jonathan Machta Jan 2006

Numerical Study Of The Random Field Ising Model At Zero And Positive Temperature, Yong Wu, Jonathan Machta

Jonathan Machta

In this paper the three-dimensional random-field Ising model is studied at both zero temperature and positive temperature. Critical exponents are extracted at zero temperature by finite size scaling analysis of large discontinuities in the bond energy. The heat capacity exponent α is found to be near zero. The ground states are determined for a range of external field and disorder strength near the zero temperature critical point and the scaling of ground state tilings of the field-disorder plane is discussed. At positive temperature the specific heat and the susceptibility are obtained using the Wang-Landau algorithm. It is found that sharp …


Computing Counterion Densities At Intermediate Coupling, Christian Santangelo Jan 2006

Computing Counterion Densities At Intermediate Coupling, Christian Santangelo

Christian Santangelo

By decomposing the Coulomb interaction into a long-distance component appropriate for mean-field theory, and a non-mean-field short distance component, we compute the counterion density near a charged surface for all values of the counterion coupling parameter. A modified strong-coupling expansion that is manifestly finite at all coupling strengths is used to treat the short-distance component. We find a nonperturbative correction related to the lateral counterion correlations that modifies the density at intermediate coupling.


Solar Modulation Of Little Ice Age Climate In The Tropical Andes, P. J. Polissar, M. B. Abbott, A. P. Wolfe, M. Bezada, V. Rull, Raymond S. Bradley Jan 2006

Solar Modulation Of Little Ice Age Climate In The Tropical Andes, P. J. Polissar, M. B. Abbott, A. P. Wolfe, M. Bezada, V. Rull, Raymond S. Bradley

Raymond S Bradley

The underlying causes of late-Holocene climate variability in the tropics are incompletely understood. Here we report a 1,500-year reconstruction of climate history and glaciation in the Venezuelan Andes using lake sediments. Four glacial advances occurred between anno Domini (A.D.) 1250 and 1810, coincident with solar-activity minima. Temperature declines of −3.2 ± 1.4°C and precipitation increases of ≈20% are required to produce the observed glacial responses. These results highlight the sensitivity of high-altitude tropical regions to relatively small changes in radiative forcing, implying even greater probable responses to future anthropogenic forcing.

A search for the Θ+ in the reaction γd→pK-K+n was completed using the CLAS detector at Jefferson Lab. A study of the same reaction, published earlier, reported the observation of a narrow Θ+ resonance. The present experiment, with more than 30 times the integrated luminosity of our earlier measurement, does not show any evidence for a narrow pentaquark resonance. The angle-integrated upper limit on Θ+ production in the mass range of 1.52–1.56  GeV/c2 for the γd→pK-Θ+ reaction is 0.3 nb (95% C.L.). This upper limit depends on assumptions made for the mass and angular distribution of Θ+ production. Using Λ(1520) …

The longitudinal target-spin asymmetry AUL for the exclusive electroproduction of high-energy photons was measured for the first time in ep-->e;'pgamma. The data have been accumulated at JLab with the CLAS spectrometer using 5.7 GeV electrons and a longitudinally polarized NH3 target. A significant azimuthal angular dependence was observed, resulting from the interference of the deeply virtual Compton scattering and Bethe-Heitler processes. The amplitude of the sinvarphi moment is 0.252+/-0.042stat+/-0.020sys. Theoretical calculations are in good agreement with the magnitude and the kinematic dependence of the target-spin asymmetry, which is sensitive to the generalized parton distributions H and H.

The ratios of inclusive electron scattering cross sections of 4He, 12C, and 56Fe to 3He have been measured at 1 < xB <. At Q2 > 1.4 GeV2, the ratios exhibit two separate plateaus, at 1.5 < xB < 2 and at xB > 2.25. This pattern is predicted by models that include 2- and 3-nucleon short-range correlations (SRC). Relative to A = 3, the per-nucleon probabilities of 3-nucleon SRC are 2.3, 3.1, and 4.4 times larger for A = 4, 12, and 56. This is the first measurement of 3-nucleon SRC probabilities in nuclei.

We report results from an experiment measuring the semiinclusive reaction 2H(e,e'ps) in which the proton ps is moving at a large angle relative to the momentum transfer. If we assume that the proton was a spectator to the reaction taking place on the neutron in deuterium, the initial state of that neutron can be inferred. This method, known as spectator tagging, can be used to study electron scattering from high-momentum (off-shell) neutrons in deuterium. The data were taken with a 5.765 GeV electron beam on a deuterium target in Jefferson Laboratory's Hall B, using the CEBAF large acceptance spectrometer. A …

The exclusive reaction gamma p ->(K) over bar (0)K(+)n was studied in the photon energy range between 1.6 and 3.8 GeV searching for evidence of the exotic baryon Theta(+)(1540)-> nK(+). The decay to nK(+) requires the assignment of strangeness S=+1 to any observed resonance. Data were collected with the CLAS detector at the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 70 pb(-1). No evidence for the Theta(+) pentaquark was found. Upper limits were set on the production cross section as function of center-of-mass angle and nK(+) mass. The 95% C.L. upper limit on the total …

Inclusive electron scattering off the deuteron has been measured to extract the deuteron structure function F2 with the CEBAF Large Acceptance Spectrometer (CLAS) at the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility. The measurement covers the entire resonance region from the quasi-elastic peak up to the invariant mass of the final-state hadronic system W~2.7 GeV with four-momentum transfers Q2 from 0.4 to 6 (GeV/c)^2.

We report a new measurement of the exclusive electroproduction reaction gamma* p -> pi0 p to explore the evolution from soft non-perturbative physics to hard processes via the Q2 dependence of the magnetic (M1+), electric (E1+) and scalar (S1+) multipoles in the N to Delta transition. 9000 differential cross section data points cover W from threshold to 1.4 eV/c2, 4pi center-of-mass solid angle, and Q2 from 3 to 6 GeV2/c2, the highest yet achieved. It is found that the magnetic form factor G*M decreases with Q2 more steeply than the proton magnetic form factor, the ratio E1+/M1+ is small and …

The exclusive reaction gamma p ->(K) over bar (0)K(+)n was studied in the photon energy range between 1.6 and 3.8 GeV searching for evidence of the exotic baryon Theta(+)(1540)-> nK(+). The decay to nK(+) requires the assignment of strangeness S=+1 to any observed resonance. Data were collected with the CLAS detector at the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 70 pb(-1). No evidence for the Theta(+) pentaquark was found. Upper limits were set on the production cross section as function of center-of-mass angle and nK(+) mass. The 95% C.L. upper limit on the total …

A Continuous-Time Model Of Topic Co-Occurrence Trends, Wei Li, Xuerui Wang, Andrew Mccallum Jan 2006

A Continuous-Time Model Of Topic Co-Occurrence Trends, Wei Li, Xuerui Wang, Andrew Mccallum

Andrew McCallum

Recent work in statistical topic models has investigated richer structures to capture either temporal or inter-topic correlations. This paper introduces a topic model that combines the advantages of two recently proposed models: (1) The Pachinko Allocation model (PAM), which captures arbitrary topic correlations with a directed acyclic graph (DAG), and (2) the Topics over Time model (TOT), which captures time-localized shifts in topic prevalence with a continuous distribution over timestamps. Our model can thus capture not only temporal patterns in individual topics, but also the temporal patterns in their co-occurrences. We present results on a research paper corpus, showing interesting …


Pachinko Allocation: Dag-Structured Mixture Models Of Topic Correlations, Wei Li, Andrew Mccallum Jan 2006

Pachinko Allocation: Dag-Structured Mixture Models Of Topic Correlations, Wei Li, Andrew Mccallum

Andrew McCallum

Latent Dirichlet allocation (LDA) and other related topic models are increasingly popular tools for summarization and manifold discovery in discrete data. However, LDA does not capture correlations between topics. In this paper, we introduce the pachinko allocation model (PAM), which captures arbitrary, nested, and possibly sparse correlations between topics using a directed acyclic graph (DAG). The leaves of the DAG represent individual words in the vocabulary, while each interior node represents a correlation among its children, which may be words or other interior nodes (topics). PAM provides a flexible alternative to recent work by Blei and Lafferty (2006), which captures …


Combining Generative And Discriminative Methods For Pixel Classification With Multi-Conditional Learning, B. Michael Kelm, Chris Pal, Andrew Mccallum Jan 2006

Combining Generative And Discriminative Methods For Pixel Classification With Multi-Conditional Learning, B. Michael Kelm, Chris Pal, Andrew Mccallum

Andrew McCallum

It is possible to broadly characterize two approaches to probabilistic modeling in terms of generative and discriminative methods. Provided with sufficient training data the discriminative approach is expected to yield superior accuracy as compared to the analogous generative model since no modeling power is expended on the marginal distribution of the features. Conversely, if the model is accurate the generative approach can perform better with less data. In general it is less vulnerable to overfitting and allows one to more easily specify meaningful priors on the model parameters. We investigate multi-conditional learning--a method combining the merits of both approaches. Through …


Tractable Learning And Inference With High-Order Representations, Aron Culotta, Andrew Mccallum Jan 2006

Tractable Learning And Inference With High-Order Representations, Aron Culotta, Andrew Mccallum

Andrew McCallum

Representing high-order interactions in data often results in large models with an intractable number of hidden variables. In these models, inference and learning must operate without instantiating the entire set of variables. This paper presents a Metropolis-Hastings sampling approach to address this issue, and proposes new methods to discriminatively estimate the proposal and target distribution of the sampler using a ranking function over configurations. We demonstrate our approach on the task of paper and author deduplication, showing that our method enables complex, advantageous representations of the data while maintaining tractable learning and inference procedures.


Group And Topic Discovery From Relations And Their Attributes, Xuerui Wang, Natasha Mohanty, Andrew Mccallum Jan 2006

Group And Topic Discovery From Relations And Their Attributes, Xuerui Wang, Natasha Mohanty, Andrew Mccallum

Andrew McCallum

We present a probabilistic generative model of entity relationships and their attributes that simultaneously discovers groups among the entities and topics among the corresponding textual attributes. Block-models of relationship data have been studied in social network analysis for some time. Here we simultaneously cluster in several modalities at once, incorporating the attributes (here, words) associated with certain relationships. Significantly, joint inference allows the discovery of topics to be guided by the emerging groups, and vice-versa. We present experimental results on two large data sets: sixteen years of bills put before the U.S. Senate, comprising their corresponding text and voting records, …


Learning Field Compatibilities To Extract Database Records From Unstructured Text, Michael Wick, Aron Culotta, Andrew Mccallum Jan 2006

Learning Field Compatibilities To Extract Database Records From Unstructured Text, Michael Wick, Aron Culotta, Andrew Mccallum

Andrew McCallum

Named-entity recognition systems extract entities in text by type, such as people, organizations, and locations from unstructured text. Rather than extract these fields in isolation, in this paper we present a record extraction system that clusters fields together into records (i.e. database tuples). We construct a probabilistic model of the compatibility of field values, then employ graph partitioning algorithms to partition fields into cohesive records. We also investigate compatibility functions over sets of fields, rather than simply pairs of fields, to examine how higher representational power can impact performance. We apply our techniques to the task of extracting contact records …


Cc Prediction With Graphical Models, Chris Pal, Andrew Mccallum Jan 2006

Cc Prediction With Graphical Models, Chris Pal, Andrew Mccallum

Andrew McCallum

We address the problem of suggesting who to add as an additional recipient (i.e. cc, or carbon copy) for an email under composition. We address the problem using graphical models for words in the body and subject line of the email as well as the recipients given so far on the email. The problem of cc prediction is closely related to the problem of expert finding in an organization. We show that graphical models present a variety of solutions to these problems. We present results using naively structured models and introduce a powerful new modeling tool: plated factor graphs.


Multi-Conditional Learning For Joint Probability Models With Latent Variables, Chris Pal, Xuerui Wang, Michael Kelm, Andrew Mccallum Jan 2006

Multi-Conditional Learning For Joint Probability Models With Latent Variables, Chris Pal, Xuerui Wang, Michael Kelm, Andrew Mccallum

Andrew McCallum

We introduce Multi-Conditional Learning, a framework for optimizing graphical models based not on joint likelihood, or on conditional likelihood, but based on a product of several marginal conditional likelihoods each relying on common sets of parameters from an underlying joint model and predicting different subsets of variables conditioned on other subsets. When applied to undirected models with latent variables, such as the Harmonium, this approach can result in powerful, structured latent variable representations that combine some of the advantages of conditional random fields with the unsupervised clustering ability of popular topic models, such as latent Dirichlet allocation and its successors. …


On Discriminative And Semi-Supervised Dimensionality Reduction, Chris Pal, Michael Kelm, Xuerui Wang, Greg Druck, Andrew Mccallum Jan 2006

On Discriminative And Semi-Supervised Dimensionality Reduction, Chris Pal, Michael Kelm, Xuerui Wang, Greg Druck, Andrew Mccallum

Andrew McCallum

We are interested in using the goal of making predictions to influence dimensionality reduction procedures. A number of new methods are emerging aimed at combining attributes of generative and discriminative approaches to data modeling. New approaches to semi-supervised learning have also been emerging. We present and apply some new methods to non-linear and richly structured problems comparing and contrasting models designed for computer vision with those designed for text processing and discuss essential properties that need to be preserved when reducing dimensionality.


Integrating Probabilistic Extraction Models And Data Mining To Discover Relations And Patterns In Text, Aron Culotta, Andrew Mccallum, Jonathon Betz Jan 2006

Integrating Probabilistic Extraction Models And Data Mining To Discover Relations And Patterns In Text, Aron Culotta, Andrew Mccallum, Jonathon Betz

Andrew McCallum

In order for relation extraction systems to obtain human-level performance, they must be able to incorporate relational patterns inherent in the data (for example, that one's sister is likely one's mother's daughter, or that children are likely to attend the same college as their parents). Hand-coding such knowledge can be time-consuming and inadequate. Additionally, there may exist many interesting, unknown relational patterns that both improve extraction performance and provide insight into text. We describe a probabilistic extraction model that provides mutual benefits to both ``top-down'' relational pattern discovery and ``bottom-up'' relation extraction.
