TL;DR: GNMT, Google's Neural Machine Translation system, is presented, which attempts to address many of the weaknesses of conventional phrase-based translation systems and provides a good balance between the flexibility of "character"-delimited models and the efficiency of "word"-delicited models.

An inordinate fondness for Fusarium: Phylogenetic diversity of fusaria cultivated by ambrosia beetles in the genus Euwallacea on avocado and other plant hosts
Matthew T. Kasson,Kerry O'Donnell,Alejandro P. Rooney,Stacy Sink,Randy C. Ploetz,Jill N. Ploetz,Joshua L. Konkol,Daniel Carrillo,Stanley Freeman,Zvi Mendel,Jason A. Smith,Adam Black,Jiri Hulcr,Craig C. Bateman,Kristyna Stefkova,Paul R. Campbell,Andrew D. W. Geering,Elizabeth K. Dann,Akif Eskalen,K. M. Mohotti,Dylan P. G. Short,Takayuki Aoki,Kristi Fenstermacher,Donald D. Davis,David M. Geiser +24 more
TL;DR: The evolution of a clade within Fusarium associated with ambrosia beetles in the genus Euwallacea is document, consistent with a strong evolutionary trend toward obligate symbiosis coupled with secondary contact and interspecific hybridization.
Journal ArticleDOI
Precisely Controlled Methyl Branching in Polyethylene via Acyclic Diene Metathesis (ADMET) Polymerization
TL;DR: In this paper, a synthetic approach to attain precisely controlled methyl branching in polyethylene is described, where a methyl branch was placed on each 9th, 11th, 15th, 19th, and 21st carbon along the backbone.
Journal ArticleDOI
Synthesis of functional aromatic multisulfonyl chlorides and their masked precursors.
Virgil Percec,Tushar K. Bera,Binod B. De,Yasuyuki Sanai,Jason A. Smith,Marian N. Holerca,Bogdan Barboiu,Robert B. Grubbs,Jean M. J. Frechet +8 more
TL;DR: The masked nonreactive precursor states of the functional aromatic multisulfonyl chlorides and the aromatic mult isulfonation of compounds containing suitable activated aromatic positions represent the main starting building blocks required in a new synthetic strategy elaborated for the preparation of dendritic and other complex organic molecules.
Journal ArticleDOI
Modeling Random Methyl Branching in Ethylene/ Propylene Copolymers Using Metathesis Chemistry: Synthesis and Thermal Behavior
TL;DR: The structure of random ethylene/propylene (EP) copolymers has been modeled using step polymerization chemistry and thermal behavior studies have shown that the melting point and heat of fusion decrease as the branch content increases.
