We focus on the problem of vector compression using multicodebook quantization (MCQ). MCQ is a generalization of k-means where the centroids arise from the combinatorial sums of entries in multiple codebooks, and has become a critical component of large-scale, state-of-the-art approximate nearest neighbour search systems. MCQ is often addressed in an iterative manner, where learning the codeboo...

Multiple choice questions (MCQs) are a common data gathering tool. We extend the Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) framework to a collection of MCQ surveys. Topic discovery is turned into group discovery based on survey response patterns. Question choices are equivalent to vocabulary words and are conditioned on the question and the latent group that is used to cluster the survey responders. Th...

A combination of established theories [1].[2].[3].[4] are applied in an attempt to improve the output from a system [5],[6] which automatically generates MCQ (Multiple Choice Question) test items from source documents. The literature observes that NLG (Natural Language Generation) system evaluation is non-trivial [7] and so the method is evaluated using a process suited to the featured domain [...

This paper studies some problems regarding mobile content quality (MCQ). Since the reason for communication is to be useful, we think that the only way of creating precise target group hitting mobile content is by thoroughly understanding MCQ and how it can be created. We present the results of a Finnish mobile user survey in which the users clearly point out MCQ areas that have to be improved ...

Subjects hearing a list of associates to a nonpresented lure word later often claim to have heard the lure (Deese, 1959; Roediger & McDermott, 1995). To examine the characteristics of such false memories, subjects completed a memory characteristics questionnaire (MCQ; Johnson, Foley, Suengas, & Raye, 1988) or made remember/know (RK; Gardiner & Java, 1993) judgments for previously heard theme as...
