Question-answering systems are expanding beyond information retrieval and information extraction, to become fullfledged, complex NLP applications. In this paper we discuss the evaluation of question-answering systems as complex NLP systems, and suggest three different dimensions for evaluation: objective or information-based evaluation; subjective evaluation; and architectural evaluation. We al...

In the past, research examining the work-related correlates of job satisfaction in programmer~analysts has focused on the relationship between characteristics of the job itself and job satisfaction. It is hypothesized that certain aspects of relationships with co-workers, project leaders, and users will also be significant correlates of job satisfaction. Specifically, the relationship between j...

These organizations also have a role hierarchically below and between the dual leaders: the 1st a...

This paper provides the research of resource organization in e-learning environment. To address the shortages of resource organization, in this paper a new resource organization method in e-learning environment is proposed, which is called role-based resource organization and is based on our definition of resources and roles. Using this method, a test system RBRTEE is developed. The test result...

On the basis of a low probability insurance experiment with substantial money on the line, we demonstrate that concern is an important driver of willingness to pay (WTP) for insurance when there is ambiguity surrounding the estimate. Concern still plays an important role when probabilities are given precisely. This finding explains why some individuals pay too much and others little for insuran...

A number of regions of the temporal and frontal lobes are known to be important for spoken language comprehension, yet we do not have a clear understanding of their functional role(s). In particular, there is considerable disagreement about which brain regions are involved in the semantic aspects of comprehension. Two functional magnetic resonance studies use the phenomenon of semantic ambiguit...
