Google's Neural Machine Translation System: Bridging the Gap between Human and Machine Translation

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.

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.

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.

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.
