Recently answers for fact lookup queries have appeared on major search engines. For example, for the query {Barack Obama date of birth} Google directly shows “4 August 1961” a...
We analyze the problem of detecting a road target in background clutter and investigate the amount of prior (i.e. target specific) knowledge needed to perform this search task. Th...
