Before discussing the pathogenesis and clinical aspects of this disease, clarification of some of the pertinent terminological definitions may be in order. Hypertrophic emphysema is the most commonly used designation of this disease. Also, it is known under the following names: genuine emphysema, idiopathic emphysema, diffuse vesicular emphysema, obstructive emphysema, dystrophlc emphysema, pul...

Our question answering system was built with a number of priorities in mind. First, we wanted to experiment with natural language processing (NLP) technologies such as shallow parsing, named entity tagging, and coreference chaining. We felt that the small number of terms in the questions coupled with the short length of the answers would make NLP technologies clearly beneficial, unlike previous...

2 Principal contact: This year our primary goal was to improve on the performance of our TREC-8 system. In addition to improving the system directly, we worked on a number of tools to aid our development. We continued our work on a tool for automatic scoring of system responses, a “judge” program. We designed a tool for doing regression testing of question answering systems. W...

führen permanente Anpassungen (vgl. [B07], [Pr05], [Pr11]) zu geänderten Protokollen. Aus Sicht der Informatik ist ein Informationssystem zu konzipieren und zu entwickeln, das ebenfalls anpassbar ist.

This paper describes a fuzzy-nets approach with the assistance of a statistical model (multiple regression) to create an in-process tool wear prediction (S-FN -ITWP) system, the goal of which is to predict tool wear in milling operations under cutting conditions determined by feed rate and depth of cut with cutting force detected through a dynamometer. After the S-FN-ITWP system had been traine...
