Boosting Passage Retrieval through Reuse in Question Answering
Question Answering (QA) is an emerging important field in Information Retrieval. In a QA system the archive of previous questions asked from the system makes a collection full of useful factual nuggets. This paper makes an initial attempt to investigate the reuse of facts contained in the archive of previous questions to help and gain performance in answering future related factoid questions. I...
متن کاملLong-term dynamics of bright bolides
We have integrated backward and forward in time the orbits of 20 very bright bolides (with visual magnitude brighter than −10) over a time span of 5 Myr or more. The sample was mainly selected among events observed during the period between 1993 and 1996, but we have included also three older, particularly interesting events (Abee, 1952; Glanerbrug, 1990; and EN220991, 1991). For a large part o...
متن کاملNonlinear synthesis of infrasound propagation through an inhomogeneous, absorbing atmosphere.
An accurate and efficient method to predict infrasound amplitudes from large explosions in the atmosphere is required for diverse source types, including bolides, volcanic eruptions, and nuclear and chemical explosions. A finite-difference, time-domain approach is developed to solve a set of nonlinear fluid dynamic equations for total pressure, temperature, and density fields rather than acoust...
متن کاملBolides produced by impacts of large meteoroids into the Earth’s atmosphere: comparison of theory with observations II. Benešov bolide spectra
The unique observational spectrum of the very bright Benešov bolide EN 070591 is compared to theoretical bolide spectra. The −19.5 mag bolide was induced by a meteoroid of an estimated initial mass of 4000 kg, a density of 2 g cm−3 and a kinetic energy of1012 J (0.2 kT TNT). The ablating piston model predicts spectra of large bolides by radiative hydrodynamics calculations. We present examples ...
متن کاملEstimating Local Memory of Tropical Cyclones through MPI Anomaly Evolution
This study examines the local memory of atmospheric and oceanic changes associated with a tropical cyclone (TC). The memory is quantified through anomalous maximum potential intensity (MPI) evolution for 20 days prior to the arrival of a TC through 60 days after the TC passage. The local MPI weakens and is not restored to the evolving climatology until well after the TC has departed. Stabilizat...
