32. Relevance assessment: are judges exchangeable and does it matter?
Topic: Data and Informatics
Published: 7/21/2008
Authors: Ian M Soboroff, Peter Bailey, Nick Craswell, Alan Smeaton, Emine Yilmaz, Paul Thomas
Abstract: We investigate to what extent people making relevance judgments for a reusable IR test collection are exchangeable. We consider three classes of judge: gold standard judges, who are topic origi- nators and are experts in a particular informat ...

33. Reversal mechanisms in perpendicular magnetic nanostructures
Topic: Data and Informatics
Published: 7/16/2008
Authors: Justin M Shaw, Stephen E Russek, Michael J Donahue, Thomas Thomson, Bruce Terris, Michael Schneider, Miles Olsen
Abstract: We find that the reversal mechanism in magnetic nanostructures is highly dependent on the nature and condition of the edges. Temperature and size dependent reversal properties of fabricated perpendicularly magnetized nanostructures down to 25 nm in d ...
