The present methodology for evaluating complex questions at TREC analyzes answers in terms of facts called “nuggets”. The official F-score metric represents the harmonic mean between recall and precision at the nugget level. There is an implicit assumption that some facts are more important than others, which is implemented in a binary split between “vital” and “okay” nuggets. This distinction ...

It is considered to be available in reducing the weight of automobiles that the aluminum alloy is applied to manufacture them. The spot welding of aluminum alloys is difficult because of high welding current and small electrical resistance. It is necessary to clarify the relation between the nugget formation and the welding conditions. In this study, the relation between the spot welding condit...

The manufacture of complicated automobile components that are joined by resistance spot welding requires considerable cost and time. use additive manufacturing technology to helps reduce the overall time consumption yields high accuracy. In this study, weldability conventional (C) 316L stainless steel manufactured (AM) was evaluated analyzed. After deriving lobe diagram for both materials, moni...

The in-process changes of weld nugget growth during the Resistance Spot Welding were investigated based on the resistance of input electrical impedance. To compute the time varying resistance of input electrical impedance, the welding voltage and current signals are measured simultaneously and then converted into complex-valued signals by using Hilbert transform. Comparing with the dynamic cont...

Surface interaction at the worksheet/worksheet interface during resistance spot welding of aluminium alloy 5182 with spherical tip electrodes was investigated. Oxide layer cracking and nugget formation were focused. Both experimental work and finite element analysis were employed to explain the contact behaviour at this interface. It was found that sheet separation and thus bending occurred dur...

In this paper, we describe the event nugget annotation created in support of the pilot Event Nugget Detection evaluation in 2014 and in support of the Event Nugget Detection and Coreference open evaluation in 2015, which was one of the Knowledge Base Population tracks within the NIST Text Analysis Conference. We present the data volume annotated for both training and evaluation data for the 201...

Resistance spot welding process comprises of electric, thermal and mechanical phenomenon, which makes this process complex and highly non-linear and thus, it becomes difficult to model it. In order to obtain good weld nugget during spot welding, hit and trial welds are usually done which is very costly. Therefore the numerical simulation research has been conducted to understand the whole proce...

We address the problem of evaluating textual, task-oriented dialogues between the customer and the helpdesk, such as those that take the form of online chats. As an initial step towards evaluating automatic helpdesk dialogue systems, we have constructed a test collection comprising 3,700 real Customer-Helpdesk multiturn dialogues by mining Weibo, a major Chinese social media. We have annotated ...

This paper investigates the development of weld zone in Resistance Spot Welding (RSW) which focuses on weld nugget and Heat Affected Zone (HAZ). The effects of four factors namely weld current, weld time, electrode force and hold time were studied using a general 2 factorial design augmented by five centre points. The results of the analysis showed that all selected factors except hold time exh...
