We present a transition-based system that jointly predicts the syntactic structure and lexical units of a sentence by building two structures over the input words: a syntactic dependency tree and a forest of lexical units including multiword expressions (MWEs). This combined representation allows us to capture both the syntactic and semantic structure of MWEs, which in turn enables deeper downstream semantic analysis, especially for semicompositional MWEs. The proposed system extends the arc-standard transition system for dependency parsing with transitions for building complex lexical units. Experiments on two different data sets show that the approach significantly improves MWE identification accuracy (and sometimes syntactic accuracy) compared to existing joint approaches.
In this paper, we investigate various strategies to predict both syntactic dependency parsing and contiguous multiword expression (MWE) recognition, testing them on the dependency version of French Treebank (Abeillé and Barrier, 2004), as instantiated in the SPMRL Shared Task . Our work focuses on using an alternative representation of syntactically regular MWEs, which captures their syntactic internal structure. We obtain a system with comparable performance to that of previous works on this dataset, but which predicts both syntactic dependencies and the internal structure of MWEs. This can be useful for capturing the various degrees of semantic compositionality of MWEs.
This paper presents an unresolved Computational Fluid Dynamic-Discrete Element Method (CFD-DEM) model for the simulation of ows mixing uid and grains. The grains trajectories are solved at a ne scale using a discrete element method. It provides the velocities and the trajectories of the grains with an accuracy that is needed to describe microscopic phenomena like clogging in pipe happening in these ows. Solved at a coarse scale using the nite element method, the uid motion is deduced from a mean continuous representation of the uid phase giving computational performance and keeping variables evolutions that are of interest for a lot of simulation processes. The key point of this method lays in the coupling of the two dierent representation scales. An empirical drag formula for monodisperse granular media parametrises the transfer of momentum between the phases. Applying this model to the well-known problem of suspension drops provides validation and insight in this kind of methodology.

We explore the consequences of representing token segmentations as hierarchical structures (trees) for the task of Multiword Expression (MWE) recognition, in isolation or in combination with dependency parsing. We propose a novel representation of token segmentation as trees on tokens, resembling dependency trees. Given this new representation, we present and evaluate two different architectures to combine MWE recognition and dependency parsing in the easy-first framework: a pipeline and a joint system, both taking advantage of lexical and syntactic dimensions. We experimentally validate that MWE recognition significantly helps syntactic parsing.
This paper is devoted to an unresolved model for the simulation of air invasion in immersed granular flows without interface reconstruction between the liquid and the gas. Experiments of air invading a granular bed immersed in ethanol were achieved in a Hele-Shaw cell to observe the gas invasion paths and to calibrate the numerical multiscale model. The grains movements are computed at a fine scale using the non-smooth contact dynamics method, a time-stepping method considering impenetrable grains. The fluid flow is modelled by equations averaged using the volume fraction of fluid and computed at a coarse scale with the finite element method. A phase indicator function is used to dissociate the gas and the liquid constituting the fluid and to compute the density and viscosity of the fluid at each position. It is moved using a convection equation at each time step. The fluid, solid and phase indicator function computations are validated on simple cases before being used to reproduce experiments of air invasion in immersed granular flows. The experiments are supported by simulations in two dimensions to refine the study and the understanding of the invasion dynamics at short times.
