Reducing the time you and your patients wait

How long can you wait for your QA system?

Common approaches to evaluate Question Answering (QA) systems consider exclusively the accuracy of the answers. It ignores an essential feature of all the computational procedures: the efficiency. In this note, we explore new evaluation measures that take into account, in addition to the accuracy, the efficiency, which is incorporated through the magnitude of the answer time of QA systems. In p...

Reducing the TIME-WAIT State Using TCP Timestamps

This document describes an algorithm for processing incoming SYN segments that allows higher connection-establishment rates between any two TCP endpoints when a TCP Timestamps option is present in the incoming SYN segment. This document only modifies processing of SYN segments received for connections in the TIME-WAIT state; processing in all other states is unchanged. Information about the cur...

What you don't know can hurt you (and your patients).

The goal of modern dentistry is to return patients to oral health in a predictable fashion. The partial and complete edentulous patient may be unable to recover normal function, aesthetics, comfort, or speech with a traditional removable prosthesis. The aesthetics of the edentulous patient are affected as a result of bone atrophy. Continued resorption leads to irreversible facial changes. An im...
