Conversational QA Dataset Generation with Answer Revision
Conversational question--answer generation is a task that automatically
generates a large-scale conversational question answering dataset based on
input passages. In this paper, we introduce a novel framework that extracts
question-worthy phrases from a passage and then generates corresponding
questions considering previous conversations. In particular, our framework
revises the extracted answers after generating questions so that answers
exactly match paired questions. Experimental results show that our simple
answer revision approach leads to significant improvement in the quality of
synthetic data. Moreover, we prove that our framework can be effectively
utilized for domain adaptation of conversational question answering.Comment: COLING 202
Toric Richardson varieties of Catalan type and Wedderburn-Etherington numbers
We associate a complete non-singular fan with a polygon triangulation. Such a
fan appears from a certain toric Richardson variety, called of Catalan type
introduced in this paper. A toric Richardson variety of Catalan type is a Fano
Bott manifold. We show that toric Richardson varieties of Catalan type are
classified up to isomorphism in terms of unordered binary trees. In particular,
the number of isomorphism classes of -dimensional toric Richardson varieties
of Catalan type is the th Wedderburn--Etherington number
Toric Schubert varieties and directed Dynkin diagrams
A flag variety is a homogenous variety where is a simple algebraic
group over the complex numbers and is a Boel subgroup of . A Schubert
variety is a subvariety of indexed by an element in the Weyl
group of . It is called toric if it is a toric variety with respect to the
maximal torus of in . In this paper, we associate an edge-labeled
digraph with a toric Schubert variety and classify toric
Schubert varieties up to isomorphism. We also give a simple criterion of when a
toric Schubert variety is (weak) Fano in terms of .
Finally, we discuss whether toric Schubert varieties can be distinguished by
their integral cohomology rings up to isomorphism and show that this is the
case when is of simply-laced type
On Schubert varieties of complexity one
Let be a Borel subgroup of and a
maximal torus contained in . Then acts on
and every Schubert variety is
-invariant. We say that a Schubert variety is of complexity if
a maximal -orbit in has codimension . In this paper, we
discuss topology, geometry, and combinatorics related to Schubert varieties of
complexity one.Comment: 24 pages, 4 figure
Is the mechanism of synchronous cardiocerebral infarction (CCI) different from that of metachronous CCI?
Background Cardiocerebral infarction (CCI) is the simultaneous occurrence of acute ischemic stroke (AIS) and myocardial infarction (MI) at the same time (synchronous), or one after another (metachronous). This study aimed to investigate the differences in the underlying mechanisms between synchronous and metachronous CCI. Methods This study analyzed patients with AIS registered in the Clinical Research Collaboration for Stroke in Korea Prospective Registry at a single Stroke Center from January 2019 to December 2022. Patients with synchronous and metachronous CCI (MI within 72 hours after AIS) were included. Severity at admission and modified Rankin Scale scores 3 months after treatment were assessed. Results Among 3,319 AIS patients, 12 (0.36%) were diagnosed with acute CCI (male, 8; mean age, 69.6±14.0 years). Of these, six (0.18%) had synchronous CCI, while the other six had metachronous CCI. The synchronous CCI group exhibited lower neurological severity at admission than the metachronous CCI group (median National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale, 3.5 vs. 12.5). Among the 12 patients, seven (58%) had ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), with five (83%) of the synchronous CCI cases presenting as STEMI. Two cases of new-onset atrial fibrillation occurred exclusively in patients with synchronous CCI. Also, one case with synchronous CCI had a thrombus in the left ventricle. Conclusion Acute CCI is rare and manifests with varying degrees of severity. Our study suggests that AIS in synchronous CCI may be secondary to embolism caused by a preceding MI. In contrast, metachronous CCI exhibits diverse mechanisms, including secondary myocardial injury resulting from a preceding severe AIS
