A Simple Question of Reproducibility

A Simple Question Answering System

We describe our simple question answering system written in perl that uses the CMU Link parser (Sleator and Temperley 1991), Princeton University’s WordNet (Miller 1995), the REX system for XML parsing (Cameron 1998) and the Managing Gigabyte search engine (Witten, Moffat and Bell 1999). This work is based on an MSc project (Cooper 2000).

A Simple Answer to Gelfand's Question

Using elementary techniques, a question named after the famous Russian mathematician I. M. Gelfand is answered. This concerns the leading (i.e., most significant) digit in the decimal expansion of integers 2n, 3n, . . . , 9n . The history of this question, some of which is very recent, is reviewed.

SQAD: Simple Question Answering Database

In this paper, we present a new free resource for comparable Czech question answering evaluation. The Simple Question Answering Database, SQAD, contains 3301 questions and answers extracted and processed from the Czech Wikipedia. The SQAD database was prepared with the aim of a precision evaluation of automatic question answering systems. Such resource was currently not available for the Czech ...

Simple Stru tures in Question

Simple arithmetic processing: the question of automaticity.

In adult simple arithmetic performance, it is commonly held that retrieval of solutions occurs automatically from a network of stored facts in memory. However, such an account of performance necessarily predicts a uniform reaction time for solution retrieval and is therefore not consistent with the robust finding that reaction time increases with problem size and difficulty. Additionally, past ...
