We describe our hunter-gartherer system for the NTCIR10 1CLICK-2 task. We inspire ourselves on the DeepQA framework looking to adapt it for the 1CLICK task. Several techniques can be integrated naturally in this framework. The hunter component generates candidates based on the passage retrieval for the original query, the gartherer component collects evidence for each candidate and score them b...

Parallel communicating Watson-Crick automata systems were introduced in [2] as possible models of DNA computations. This combination of Watson-Crick automata and parallel communicating systems comes as a natural extension due to the new developments in DNA manipulation techniques. It is already known, see [5], that for Watson-Crick finite automata, the complementarity relation plays no active r...
