Abstract: A semiconductor structure and a method of fabricating therefor are disclosed. A second contact pad (500) is arranged lateral to a first contact pad (420) in an interconnect structure (400). As a result, during fabrication of the interconnect structure (400), the first contact pad (420) will not be present alone in a large bland area, due to the presence of the second contact pad (500). Thus, a pattern feature for the first contact pad (420) will not be over-resolved, increasing formation accuracy of the first contact pad (420) and thus guaranteeing good electrical transmission performance of the resulting interconnect structure (400).

Abstract: An iterative classifier for unsegmented electronic documents is based on machine learning algorithms. The textual strings in the electronic document are segmented using a composite dictionary that combines a conventional dictionary and an adaptive dictionary developed based on the context and nature of the electronic document. The classifier is built using a corpus of training and testing samples automatically extracted from the electronic document by detecting signatures for a set of pre-established classes for the textual strings. The classifier is further iteratively improved by automatically expanding the corpus of training and testing samples in real-time when textual strings in new electronic documents are processed and classified.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to industrial data services, data modeling and applications for controlling an industrial operation. In one implementation, a platform is disclosed for allocating a data modeling request to a collaborative group of experts based on a two-dimensional data modeling flow data structure and a multilayer resource allocation graph to obtain a data model for controlling the industrial operation. The two-dimensional data modeling flow data structure and the multilayer resource allocation graph are established from an industrial graph knowledgebase using various data analytics and machine learning techniques.

Abstract: A customized industrial graph knowledge base for an industrial operation includes a graph database storing nodes of multiple dimensions predefined according to the nature and characteristics of the industrial operation. The nodes are extracted from baseline, domain-specific, and implementation specific industrial knowledge data sources using various analytics for structured and unstructured data. The customized industrial graph knowledge base further includes edges representing relationships between nodes that are either inter-dimensional or intra-dimensional. The importance of each node to the industrial operation is further quantified using a graph model and is included in the graph database as a composite filtering parameter.

Abstract: Direct measurement and simulation of real-time production rates of chemical products in complex chemical plants is complex. A predictive model developed based on machine learning algorithms using historical sensor data and production data provides accurate real-time prediction of production rates of chemical products in chemical plants. An optimization model based on machine learning algorithms using clustered historical sensor data and production data provides optimal values for controllable parameters for production maximization.
