AT&T at TREC-8
نویسندگان
چکیده
In 1999, AT&T participated in the ad-hoc task and the Question Answering (QA), Spoken Document Retrieval (SDR), and Web tracks. Most of our e ort for TREC-8 focused on the QA and SDR tracks. Results from SDR track show that our document expansion techniques, presented in [8, 9], are very e ective for speech retrieval. The results for question answering are also encouraging. Our system designed in a relatively short period for this task can nd the correct answer for about 45% of the user questions. This is specially good given the fact that our system extracts only a short phrase as an answer.

Assimilation of T-TREC-retrieved wind data with WRF 3DVAR for the short-term forecasting of typhoon Meranti (2010) near landfall
[1] An extended Tracking Radar Echo by Correlation (TREC) technique, called T-TREC technique, has been developed recently to retrieve horizontal circulations within tropical cyclones (TCs) from single Doppler radar reflectivity (Z) and radial velocity (Vr, when available) data. This study explores, for the first time, the assimilation of T-TREC-retrieved winds for a landfalling typhoon, Meranti...
متن کاملThe TREC/KREC Assay for the Diagnosis and Monitoring of Patients with DiGeorge Syndrome
UNLABELLED DiGeorge syndrome (DGS) presents with a wide spectrum of thymic pathologies. Nationwide neonatal screening programs of lymphocyte production using T-cell recombination excision circles (TREC) have repeatedly identified patients with DGS. We tested what proportion of DGS patients could be identified at birth by combined TREC and kappa-deleting element recombination circle (KREC) scree...

متن کاملDSO at TREC-8: A Hybrid Algorithm for the Routing Task
In this paper, we describe a new hybrid algorithm that we used for the routing task at TREC-8. The algorithm combines the use of Rocchio's formula for term selection, and an improved variant of the perceptron learning algorithm for tuning the term weights. This algorithm is able to give good performance on TREC-8 test data. We also achieved a slight improvement in average uninterpolated precisi...
