Stanford Question Answering Dataset (SQuAD) is a ”reading comprehension dataset”. It is composed of passages of text, a question about that text, and an answer directly from the text. It allows groups to test their question-answering systems against other submissions as well as a Human Performance benchmark of 82.3 F1, 91.221 EM scores. Our task is to build our own question-answering system usi...

Logical modeling is increasingly popular method in system biology to explain and predict the behavior of a complex process (differentiation, cell growth, division etc. . . ) through their regulatory and signalling mechanisms. The SQUAD software (Standardized Qualitative Dynamical Systems) is dedicated to the analysis of Boolean logical models [1]. It was the first tool to combine the traditiona...

Informational conflicts in operational policies cause agents to run into situations where responding based on the rules in one policy violates the same or another policy. Static checking of these conflicts is infeasible and impractical in a dynamic environment. This paper discusses a practical approach to handling policy conflicts in real-time domains within the context of a hierarchical milita...

We propose a novel formulation of the firing squad synchronization problem. In this formulation we may use more than one general state and the general state to be used is determined by the boundary condition of the general. We show that the usual formulation and the new formulation yield different minimum firing times for some variations of the problem. Our results suggest that the new formulat...

NCAA soccer features different substitution rules compared to FIFA-sanctioned matches, with a greater availability of players who can enter the game. This could influence the physiological characteristics of the field position starters (ST) and non-starters (NST) within a collegiate women's team, which has not been previously analyzed. Thus, 22 field players from the same Division I women's soc...

Every fall, thousands of high school swimming coaches across the country begin the arduous process of preparing their athletes for competition. With a grueling practice schedule and a dedicated group of athletes, a coach can hone the squad into a cohesive unit, poised for any competition. However, oftentimes all preparation is in vain, as coaches assign swimmers to events with a lineup that is ...

The Flying Squad of the Accident and Emergency Department, of the Derbyshire Royal Infirmary, was established in 1955 by Collins. The initial function was to provide emergency care to victims of industrial accidents. However, the spectrum of emergencies they now respond to has expanded and includes predominantly road traffic accidents and medical emergencies. Despite the proliferation of Flying...

Machine comprehension of text is an important problem in natural language processing. A recently released dataset, the Stanford Question Answering Dataset (SQuAD), offers a large number of real questions and their answers created by humans through crowdsourcing. SQuAD provides a challenging testbed for evaluating machine comprehension algorithms, partly because compared with previous datasets, ...
