Following last year’s participation in the monolingual question answering (QA) track of CLEF, where Priberam’s QA system has achieved state-of-the-art results, this year we decided to take part in both Portuguese and Spanish monolingual tasks, as well as in two bilingual (Portuguese-Spanish and Spanish-Portuguese) tasks of QA@CLEF. This paper describes the improvements and changes implemented in Priberam’s QA system since last CLEF participation, detailing the work involved in its cross-lingual extension ...

This paper describes the work done by Priberam in the development of a question answering (QA) system for Portuguese. The system was built using the company’s natural language processing (NLP) workbench and information retrieval technology. Special focus is given to question analysis, document and sentence retrieval, as well as answer extraction stages. The paper discusses the system’s performance in the context of the QA@CLEF 2005 evaluation.

This paper accounts for Priberam’s participation in the monolingual question answering (QA) track of CLEF 2007. In previous participations, Priberam’s QA system obtained encouraging results both in monolingual and cross-language tasks. This year we endowed the system with syntactical processing, in order to capture the syntactic structure of the question. The main goal was to obtain a more tuned question categorisation and consequently a more precise answer extraction. Besides this, we provided our ...

Understanding the structure of supramolecular complexes provides insight into their functional capabilities and how they can be modulated in the context of disease. Super-resolution microscopy (SRM) excels in performing this task by resolving ultrastructural details at the nanoscale with molecular specificity. However, technical limitations, such as underlabelling, preclude its ability to provide complete structures. Single-particle analysis (SPA) overcomes this limitation by combining information ...

On September 8, 2001 around 2 h UT, the largest uranian moon, Titania, occulted Hipparcos star 106829 (alias SAO 164538, a V=7.2, K0 III star). This was the first-ever observed occultation by this satellite, a rare event as Titania subtends only 0.11 arcsec on the sky. The star's unusual brightness allowed many observers, both amateurs or professionals, to monitor this unique event, providing fifty-seven occultations chords over three continents, all reported here. Selecting the best 27 occultation ...

In an attempt to define the resistivity model of the Chaves geothermal field in NE Portugal, a detailed survey with scalar audiomagnetotelluric measurements was performed. The soundings were made in the frequency range from 2300 to 4.1 Hz. Electrical resistivity models were derived from the application of 1-D inversion, 2-D trial and error modeling and 2-D inversion procedures. The resistivities inside the geothermal field are low, reaching not more than 30 Ωm and increasing up to 60–150 Ωm beneath ...
