A basic plasmonic system, consisting of a stub metal-insulator-metal (MIM) waveguide coupled with a ring resonator, is presented to realize Fano resonance and electromagnetically induced transparency-like (EIT-like) effect, which are numerically calculated by the finite element method (FEM).Meanwhile, the formation mechanism of Fano resonance is an

With the advent of robust deep learning, neural machine translation (NMT) has achieved great progress and recently become the dominant paradigm in machine translation (MT).However, it is still confronted with the challenge of word ambiguities that force NMT to choose among several translation candidates that represent different senses of an input w
