    Detection signal-to-noise ratio versus bit cell aspect ratio at high areal densities

    No full text
    As areal density in hard drives increases, the bit aspect ratio (BAR) becomes an increasingly critical design issue. In this paper, we use the detection signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) as a system-level indicator to establish the relationship between the optimal BAR and all major recording system parameters that relate to the head/medium combination and servo as well as the read channel. We address practical and fundamental issues including thermal stability, medium and additive system noise, and equalization and track misregistration. The results of our analysis generally agree with the recent consensus to move toward lower BARs but also caution that the optimal BAR is a strong function of the servo capability. The results of our BAR analysis also indicate that at high areal densities, the ratio of PW50 to the bit cell is considerably smaller than found in today's drives

    On co-authorship for author disambiguation

    No full text
    Author name disambiguation deals with clustering the same-name authors into different individuals. To attack the problem, many studies have employed a variety of disambiguation features such as coauthors, titles of papers/publications, topics of articles, emails/affiliations, etc. Among these, co-authorship is the most easily accessible and influential, since inter-person acquaintances represented by co-authorship could discriminate the identities of authors more clearly than other features. This study attempts to explore the net effects of co-authorship on author clustering in bibliographic data. First, to handle the shortage of explicit coauthors listed in known citations, a web-assisted technique of acquiring implicit coauthors of the target author to be disambiguated is proposed. Then, a coauthor disambiguation hypothesis that the identity of an author can be determined by his/her coauthors is examined and confirmed through a variety of author disambiguation experiments.
