We have built a clinical question answering system named AskHERMES to perform robust semantic analysis on complex clinical questions and output question-focused extractive summaries as answers.
We generated "input and output" questions to have students learn relationships between events belonging to the same parent event.
For example, while collecting "output" questions for the concept "photosynthesis," a possible keyword set is {produce, photosynthesis}.
The most straight forward "input and output" questions ask what a single process needs for starting and what products it produces.
Because the knowledge base was limited to photosynthesis, the generator produced 56 questions: 6 were "what is" questions, 17 were "where" questions, 17 were "input and output" questions, and 16 were "function" questions.
Examples of the templates for the input and output questions are, respectively, "What does the [process] require?" and "What does the [process] produce?" Because the products of one process often serve as the raw materials of another one, we devised questions to help students review these connections.
Analyst opinion seems to be solidifying around the idea that the output cut question is "when" rather than "whether".
Though United States officials seem optimistic that the March meetings will lead to at least some increased output, the question is how much.
The region may, however, require the use of the output in question, which then it must import; if it does not use the product either, the demand quantified in the row of intermediate inputs is legitimately and unproblematically zero.
Given this torrent of output, the question is how one distinguishes the researchers whose work is making a mark among their fellow scientists from all the rest.
