HITS and Misses: Combining BM25 with HITS for Expert Search
This paper describes the participation of Dublin City University in the CriES (Cross-Lingual Expert Search) pilot challenge. To realize expert search, we combine traditional information retrieval (IR) using the BM25 model with reranking of results using the HITS algorithm. The experiments were performed on two indexes, one containing all questions and one containing all answers. Two runs were s...
متن کاملFurther Dissociating the Processes Involved in Recognition Memory: An fMRI Study
Based on an event-related potential study by Rugg et al. [Dissociation of the neural correlates of implicit and explicit memory. Nature, 392, 595-598, 1998], we attempted to isolate the hemodynamic correlates of recollection, familiarity, and implicit memory within a single verbal recognition memory task using event-related fMRI. Words were randomly cued for either deep or shallow processing, a...
متن کاملTemporal and cerebellar brain regions that support both declarative memory formation and retrieval.
Using event-related fMRI, we scanned young healthy subjects while they memorized real-world photographs and subsequently tried to recognize them within a series of new photographs. We confirmed that activity in the medial temporal lobe (MTL) and inferior prefrontal cortex correlates with declarative memory formation as defined by the subsequent memory effect, stronger responses to subsequently ...
متن کاملHits-and-misses for the evaluation and combination of forecasts
Error measures for the evaluation of forecasts are usually based on the size of the forecast errors. Common measures are e.g. the Mean Squared Error (MSE), the Mean Absolute Deviation (MAD) or the Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE). Alternative measures for the comparison of forecasts are turning points or hits-and-misses, where an indicator loss function is used to decide, if a forecast is ...
متن کاملDissociability of Memory Effects
Intentional (explicit) retrieval can reactivate sensory cortex, which is widely assumed to reflect conscious processing. In the present study, we used an explicit visual memory event-related potential paradigm to investigate whether such retrieval related sensory activity could be separated into conscious and nonconscious components. During study, abstract shapes were presented in the left or r...
