Query Answerability Classifier for Direct Answer Module in Web Search Engines

In order determine when we can show direct answer module to user queries in web search engine, an independent classifier is designed in this study to assess the answerability of each user query. Real user queries are sampled from MS MARCO Question Answering and Natural Langauge Generation dataset \cite{MSMARCO} and manually labelled with query...

Parallel recording with optical waveguide array

We present an analysis of the reading capability of a novel optical pickup consisting of a single-mode and a multi-mode rectangular waveguide. According to the simulations, if one has prior information about the structure of the disk, superresolution readout could be achieved. The proposed system has the advantage to be compact and should be...
