Abstract: Questions and answers associated with each other are stored in a document storage section. A clustering section classifies the answers in the document storage section into clusters based on feature vectors of the answers. When a natural language question is input by the user, a database retrieval/updating section retrieves a question similar to the input question, and presents answers associated with the retrieved question together for each cluster to the user or an expert. In addition, the database retrieval/updating section automatically updates the document storage section based on an answer selected as most appropriate by the user or the expert if selected, or based on an answer newly input by the expert if no appropriate answer is available. The natural language answer input by the expert is presented to the user as it is.

Abstract: Abstract The most remarkable, and most remarked. teature of Book IV is its imbalance. Pausanias’s accoWlt ofthe “many sutlhings of the Messenians” is followed by a description of “the cowitry and cities” he sees as he travels from Lakonia to Elis. Pausanias’s exploration here of both logoi and theoremata is obviously not unusual, but the relative emphasis is: some 80 percent of the book recounts the history of the Messenians, in particular their struggles with Sparta in the First and Second Messenian Wars, compared to 20 percent spent on actual sites and monuments. Even when he buckles down to this final section, discussions of unusual water creatures and water bodies also engage his attention.

Abstract: In an image recognition apparatus, a left camera and a right camera are provided so as to produce a parallax. A road surface indication recognizing section recognizes road surface indications contained in a left input image that is supplied from the left camera. An edge detecting section detects remaining edges other than the edges of the recognized road surface indications among all the edges in the left input image. A matching section extracts a reference pattern in the left input image that includes a detected edge, and conducts matching between the reference pattern and a right input image that is supplied from the right camera using a pattern matching method. Based on each matching result with the reference pattern, an object recognizing section recognizes an object in the visual fields and determines a distance from the recognized object to the image recognition apparatus.

Abstract: A first illumination section radiates light at a certain degree of illuminance toward the face of a human recognition object from an upper right part or an upper left part of a camera, and a second illumination section radiates light at a certain degree of illuminance toward the face of the human recognition object from a lower part of a camera. The camera photographs and inputs a facial image of the human recognition object. The image processing section extracts a feature value of the face of the human recognition object from a facial image inputted by the camera and collates the feature value extracted with a standard feature value registered in advance so as to recognize a facial image of the human recognition object.

Abstract: The introductions of popular books on TEX and especially L TEX usually start with a celebration of the benefits of structured documents and generic markup. In this context, LTEX is often compared to wysiwyg (what you see is what you get) text editors, which are claimed to concentrate only on visual design and not logical design. See for instance section 1.5 of Lamport’s book on LTEX for some widely accepted reasons why not to use wysiwyg editors. In the past decade the empirical observation that it was difficult to write well structured documents with wysiwyg editors has made place for a doctrine that such a thing would be impossible. Many people adopted textual ASCII-based text editors like Emacs or Vi as a religion and claim that such editors would be the sole in which a structured text — a program — can be correctly visualized. On the other hand, if systems like TEX and L TEX are so much better than wysiwyg editors, why is it so that most people are still reluctant to learn TEX or L TEX, and why do wysiwyg editors still dominate the market? When we started to develop TEXMACS about four years ago, our main design aim was to solve this paradox, by creating a wysiwyg and structured technical text editor. The current version of TEXMACS can be downloaded from
