Lexical resources such as WordNet (Miller, 1995) and FrameNet (Baker et al., 1998) are organized as graphs, where relationships between words are made explicit via the structure of the resource. This work explores how structural information from these lexical resources ...

We introduce the second edition of the CheckThat! Lab, part of the 2019 Cross-Language Evaluation Forum (CLEF). CheckThat! proposes two complementary tasks. Task 1: predict which claims in a political debate should be prioritized for fact-checking. Task 2: rank Web-retr...

This research presents how innovative technologies, software and digital media and tools can be used for recreation, presentation, preservation, dissemination, promotion and even enhanced experiencing of valuable cultural heritage. New innovative technologies and tools ...

The Differential Radar Interferometry (DInSAR) technique provides fast and accurate means for detecting small displacements of the Earth’s surface having a magnitude in centimeters range. Applying this method monitoring of ground movements of natural or anthropogenic or...

V článku popisujeme druhou vícejazyčnou úlohu pro rozpoznávání pojmenovaných entit. Cílem úlohy je rozpoznání pojmenovaných entit v textech z webových stránek, jejich normalizace a mezijazyčné propojení. Úloha byla součástí workshopu “7th Balto-Slavic Natural Language P...

We present an experimental and theoretical study of GaInAs(Sb)N layers with thickness around 2 mu m, grown by liquid-phase epitaxy (LPE) on n-type GaAs substrates. The samples are studied by surface photovoltage (SPV) spectroscopy and by photoluminescence spectroscopy. ...

We propose to use question answering (QA) data from Web forums to train chatbots from scratch, i.e., without dialog training data. First, we extract pairs of question and answer sentences from the typically much longer texts of questions and answers in a forum. We then ...

Recently, reading comprehension models achieved near-human performance on large-scale datasets such as SQuAD, CoQA, MS Macro, RACE, etc. This is largely due to the release of pre-trained contextualized representations such as BERT and ELMo, which can be fine-tuned for t...

In the present work, we report on the analysis of archaeological metal artefacts from Late Bronze Age, performed by means of Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS). The experiment was carried out at ambient air and at 1064 nm of a Nd:YAG laser with pulse durations ...

Abstract A projectile Coulomb-excitation experiment was performed at the radioactive ion beam facility HIE-ISOLDE at CERN. The radioactive 140Nd and 142Sm ions were post accelerated to the energy of 4.62 MeV/A and impinged on a 1.45 mg/cm2-thin 208Pb target. The γ rays ...
