In this paper, we describe our participation in the 2015 BioASQ challenge on Bio-Medical Question Answering. For Question Answering task (Task 3b), teams were provided with natural language questions and asked to retrieve responses from PubMed corpus in the form of documents, snippets, concepts and RDF triplets (Phase A) and direct answers (Phase B). For Phase A, we took the support of PubMed s...

the purpose of this study was to determine influence on indexing language in ranking the results of image searching in the google search engine. an experimental method was conducted. the population in this study was 30 old stamps of the years 1952 to 1978. for doing this study, two sites were designed on the web. in the first site 30 images were uploaded based on the controlled language and in ...

this paper proposes improvements and revisions to a recent approach in a voting system, and provides an effective approach with a stronger discriminate power. for this purpose, the advantage of a linear transformation is utilized to rede ne a previously used concept of virtual worst candidate, by incorporating the existing weight restrictions. then, the best score of this virtual candidate is u...

The paper proposes formulating MT evaluation as a ranking problem, as is often done in the practice of assessment by human. Under the ranking scenario, the study also investigates the relative utility of several features. The results show greater correlation with human assessment at the sentence level, even when using an n-gram match score as a baseline feature. The feature contributing the mos...

This year a Fujitsu Laboratory team participated in web tracks. Both for ad hoc task, and entry point search task, we combined the score of normal ranking search and that of page ranking techniques. For ad hoc style task, the eect of page ranking was very limitted. We only got very little improvement for title eld search, and the page rank was not eective for description, and narrative eld sear...

A ranking method assigns to every directed graph a (weak) ordering of the nodes. In this paper, we axiomatize the ranking method that ranks the nodes according to their outdegree. This method generalizes the ranking by Copeland score for tournaments as characterized in Rubinstein (SIAM J. Appl. Math. 38 (1980) 108–111). c © 2003 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

In many applications, ranking of decision making units (DMUs) is a problematic technical task procedure to decision makers in data envelopment analysis (DEA), especially when there are extremely efficient DMUs. In such cases, many DEA models may usually get the same efficiency score for different DMUs. Hence, there is a growing interest in ranking techniques yet. The purpose of this paper is ra...
