In particular, large organizations face a class of systemic decisionmaking situations in which learning is extremely unlikely.

Optimizing question answering systems by Accelerated Particle Swarm Optimization (APSO)

One of the most important research areas in natural language processing is Question Answering Systems (QASs). Existing search engines, with Google at the top, have many remarkable capabilities. But there is a basic limitation (search engines do not have deduction capability), a capability which a QAS is expected to have. In this perspective, a search engine may be viewed as a semi-mechanized QA...

Our analysis shows that a pair of question in a general open domain QA can have embedding relation through their mentions of noun phrase expressions. We present methods f...
