Questioning Answering By Pattern Matching, Web-Proofing, Semantic Form Proofing

In this paper, we introduce the University at Albany’s question answering system, ILQUA. It is developed on the following methods: pattern matching over annotated text, web-proofing and semantic form proofing. These methods are currently used in other QA systems, however, we revised them to work together in our QA system.

Future proofing

far the fastest growing agricultural producer with output expected to increase by more than 40 per cent between now and 2019. Production growth is also expected to be well above 20 per cent in China, India, the Russian Federation and the Ukraine. But the report warns that increased global food production could still lead to a large section of the global population going hungry. Although the wor...

A Good Match: Strategic Environmental Assessment and Climate Proofing - Practical experience and lessons learned

The Malian government has chosen to test the use of the Climate Proofing for Development (CP4Dev) approach developed by GTZ to integrate climate change into development planning and to adapt it to their needs. On behalf of Germany’s Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety (BMU) and the Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ), GTZ/GIZ is assisting Mal...

Idiot-Proofing Authentication

We develop a mechanism by which a server can guarantee that client passwords contain a certain amount of (actually random) entropy while not actually knowing these passwords. We define and implement a protocol between a client and server used during password generation. Importantly, while we greatly modify the process of generating a password, the actual day-to-day use of this password is mostl...
