Question answering involves developing methods to extract useful information from large collections of documents. This is done with specialised search engines such as Answer Finder. The aim of Answer Finder is to provide an answer to a question rather than a page listing related documents that may contain the correct answer. So, a question such as"How tall is the Eiffel Tower"would simply retur...

The infrared range finder for a mobile robot has the advantages of the low sensing cost and detecting all objects in front of the mobile robot after sensing. However, it has some non-linear bias errors, the measurement data represents the Gaussian distribution, and the variance of measurement error increases in proportion to distance. This paper set a goal to analyze the characteristics of an i...

Laser range finders are a vital component of high precision targeting engagements. The precise and accurate range-to-target information is an essential variable in the fire control solution of today’s sophisticated weapons. This range information is readily provided by the laser range finder, however, current fielded laser range finders are bulky, heavy, difficult to mount onto weapons, eye haz...

The double vortex-finder hydrocyclone formed by a coaxial insertion of an internal with smaller diameter inside the conventional single used to obtain two kinds products from and external overflows in one classification has attracted wide attention. To further improve performance hydrocyclone, effects length on were studied numerical simulation response surface modeling behavior fluid particle ...

ABSTRACT We present a new (2+1)D galaxy cluster finder based on photometric redshifts called Wavelet Z Photometric (WaZP) applied to DES first year (Y1A1) data. The results are compared clusters detected by the South Pole Telescope (SPT) survey and redMaPPer finder, latter same WaZP searches for in wavelet-based density maps of galaxies selected redshift space without any assumption populations...

The ability to navigate in known and unknown environments belongs to the key skills of today’s mobile robots. Especially in structured environments, characteristics of the robot’s surroundings can be used to simplify the task. In many everyday scenarios, routes constitute a good representative of the structural nature of the robot’s world. In addition, a route description is an adequate means t...

Our Indonesian-English Cross Language Question Answering (CLQA) is divided into 4 components: question analyzer, keyword translator, passage retriever and answer finder component. The Indonesian question is inputted into a question analyzer which yields Indonesian keyword list, Indonesian question focus and question class. We defined the question class by using an SVM machine implemented in Wek...

MOTIVATION Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) is used to study the organization and the positioning of specific DNA sequences within the cell nucleus. Analyzing the data from FISH images is a tedious process that invokes an element of subjectivity. Automated FISH image analysis offers savings in time as well as gaining the benefit of objective data analysis. While several FISH image anal...
