A unified approach to hadron phenomenology at zero and finite temperatures in a hard-wall AdS/QCD model

We propose a unified approach to study meson, nucleon and $\Delta$-baryon properties at zero and finite temperatures in the context of hard-wall AdS/QCD model. We first combine some previous works dealing with mesons and baryons separately, and introduce a new parameter~$\xi$ so that the model could give a universal description of spectrum and couplings of both sectors in a self-consistent way. All observables calculated numerically show reasonable agreement with experimental data. We then study these observables at nonzero temperature by modifying the AdS space-time into AdS-Schwartzchild space-time. Numerically solving the model, we find an interesting temperature dependence of the spectrum and the couplings. We also make a prediction on the finite temperature decay width of some nucleon and $\Delta$ excited states.Comment: 19 latex pages, 5 figures, final version for publicatio

A Unified Approach to Holomorphic Anomaly Equations and Quantum Spectral Curves

We present a unified approach to holomorphic anomaly equations and some well-known quantum spectral curves. We develop a formalism of abstract quantum field theory based on the diagrammatics of the Deligne-Mumford moduli spaces $\overline{{\mathcal M}}_{g,n}$ and derive a quadratic recursion relation for the abstract free energies in terms of the edge-cutting operators. This abstract quantum field theory can be realized by various choices of a sequence of holomorphic functions or formal power series and suitable propagators, and the realized quantum field theory can be represented by formal Gaussian integrals. Various applications are given.Comment: A section is adde

AP17-OLR Challenge: Data, Plan, and Baseline

We present the data profile and the evaluation plan of the second oriental language recognition (OLR) challenge AP17-OLR. Compared to the event last year (AP16-OLR), the new challenge involves more languages and focuses more on short utterances. The data is offered by SpeechOcean and the NSFC M2ASR project. Two types of baselines are constructed to assist the participants, one is based on the i-vector model and the other is based on various neural networks. We report the baseline results evaluated with various metrics defined by the AP17-OLR evaluation plan and demonstrate that the combined database is a reasonable data resource for multilingual research. All the data is free for participants, and the Kaldi recipes for the baselines have been published online.Comment: Submitted to APSIPA ASC 2017. arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:1609.0844
