In this paper, we demonstrate that verbose and grammatically complex queries retrieve, on average, more diverse results across different search engines than the short keyword queries. Our evaluation using both commercial and open source search engines shows that the overlap between search engine results decreases by up to 50% as a function of query length.

BACKGROUND We sought to study a variety of terminologic approaches to the use of clinical data for searching on-line information resources. METHODS We used a collection of narrative text and coded data to search a variety of text-based, concept-based, and concept-indexed resources. RESULTS Automated retrievals using original terms could be accomplished and technically produced ample results...

The main aim behind this paper is to develop, design and implement on-line fault diagnosis on real-time industrial processes with suitable performance measures. For this purpose, the system is modeled using Petri nets. The system considered for study here is the Sulphur recovery unit (SRU) of Chennai Petroleum Corporation Ltd (CPCL), Chennai. SRU is one of the most important units in the refini...

Collecting supporting evidence from large corpora of text (e.g., Wikipedia) is great challenge for open-domain Question Answering (QA). Especially, multi-hop QA, scattered pieces are required to be gathered together support the answer extraction. In this paper, we propose a new retrieval target, hop, collect hidden reasoning Wikipedia complex question answering. Specifically, hop in paper defin...

The proposed contribution describes a methodology we are testing in the framework of an exploratory research project on the contribution of Volunteered Geographic Information (VGI) in the case-study of forest fires. The purpose of the research is to assess the value of VGI at different stages of a fire event. The first step of the methodology focuses on the retrieval of geographical information...

We have developed a system for retrieving, storing and accessing clinical data using palmtop computers at Columbia-Presbyterian Medical Center (CPMC). This system involves an HTML-based information caching application to allow hospital physicians convenient, remote access to clinical information during times when use of existing workstations is difficult. By using HTML as the method of data cod...

Whenever new sequences of DNA or proteins have been decoded it is almost compulsory to look at similar sequences and papers describing those sequences in order to both collect relevant information concerning the function and activity of the new sequences and/or know what is known already about similar sequences that might be useful in the explanation of the function or activity of the newly dis...
