It is shown the "single-mode-multimode-single-mode" structure allows carrying out remote temperature measurement with optical time domain reflectometer. A multimode fiber length was 10 mm. We used range from 30 to 70 o C and wavelengths of 1310 1550 nm. The total a single-mode fiber-optic line for reflectometric measurements 20 km. Keywords: optics, optic sensors, reflectometr...

We describe an annotation experiment combining topics from lexicography and Word Sense Disambiguation. It involves a lexicon (Pattern Dictionary of English Verbs, PDEV), an existing data set (VPS-GradeUp), and an unpublished data set (RTE in PDEV Implicatures). The aim of the experiment was twofold: a pilot annotation of Recognizing Textual Entailment (RTE) on PDEV implicatures (lexicon glosses...
