Feature Selection and Integration in Automatic Classification of Japanese Texts
application/pdfWe explore the problem of automatic text clas-
sification using Japanese documents. Unlike other languages
that use roman letters, Japanese language poses a problem of
not availing word boundary information. As such bag-of-words
approach in constructing features may not be sufficient to en-
hance machine learning techniques. We propose a method for
feature selection and construction to improve automatic clas-
sification performance of Japanese texts. Our approach in-
volve extracting syntactic word categories and Chinese charac-
ters (Kanji) separately. Then we combine the extracted infor-
mation to build an informative feature set. We carried out var-
ious experiments using four learning algorithms to evaluate its
effectiveness. The proposed method generally outperformed its
counterparts method for Japanese document representation.departmental bulletin pape
Synthesis, Strong Two-Photon Absorption, and Optical Limiting Properties of Novel C<sub>70</sub>/C<sub>60</sub> Derivatives Containing Various Carbazole Units
An approach was demonstrated toward the design and synthesis of a series of novel C70 and C60 derivatives for large two-photon absorption (TPA). The molecular structures of fullerene derivatives were confirmed by MALDI-MS, 1H NMR, and FT-IR. With femtosecond open-aperture Z-scans and frequency-degenerate pump−probe measurements at 780 nm, the TPA cross sections of up to 3.47 × 10−46, 1.64 × 10−46, 1.1 × 10−46, and 7.82 × 10−47 cm4 s photon−1 molecule−1 were determined for C70-TCTA, C60-TCTA, C70-BCzMB, and C70-MQEtCz in toluene with concentrations of 10−4 M, respectively. The normalized light transmittances of solutions of these molecules were attenuated to the range between 33% and 50% for C70-TCTA, C60-TCTA, C60-BCzMB, and C70-MQEtCz as the input irradiance was increased to about 150 GW/cm2, showing that they are effective optical limiters. Both intensity-dependent Z-scans and pump−probe experiments confirmed that the reduction in the light transmittance results mainly from the TPA process. In addition, the molecule concentration dependence of the TPA cross sections was also investigated. It was found that the TPA cross sections are extremely sensitive to the concentration with the greatest TPA cross-section of 1.0 × 10−45 cm4 s photon−1 molecule−1 for C70-TCTA measured in the low concentration regime (∼10−5 M)

Inversion of Circularly Polarized Luminescence of Nanofibrous Hydrogels through Co-assembly with Achiral Coumarin Derivatives
Control over the
handedness of circularly polarized luminescence
(CPL) in supramolecular gels is of special significance in biology
and optoelectronics; however, it still remains a great challenge to
precisely and efficiently regulate the chirality of CPL. Herein, a
chiral phenylalanine-derived hydrogelator and achiral coumarin derivatives
can co-assemble into nanofibrous hydrogels with controllable chirality,
and the handedness of CPL of these hydrogels can be efficiently inverted
by coumarin derivatives through noncovalent interactions, which can
be further tuned at will by incorporating metal ions into the co-assembly.
The hydrogen bonds, coordination interactions, and steric hindrance
are proved to be the crucial factors for the CPL inversion. This study
provides feasible strategies to efficiently regulate the handedness
of CPL through co-assembly, and these CPL materials may have potential
applications in the fields of photoelectric devices, smart chiroptical
materials, and biological systems
