Talks

1. International Workshop on Information Search, Integration and Personalization (ISIP-2013) attended and presented my research titled "An Integration of Multiple Knowledge Resources to Avoid Incorrect Diagnoses in Medical Question Answering Systems."
2. Seminar on Cooperative Query Answering Systems (2011) presented the CoopQA project as well as the proposed framework in the seminar organized at National Institute of Informatics, Tokyo, Japan (NII). The seminar consisted of three technical presentations on the NII/DAAD project of cooperative query answering in first-order knowledge bases.
3. The 7^th Meeting on Inference-based Hypothesis-finding and its Application to Systems Biology (2011) presented the CoopQA project as well as the proposed framework in the meeting organized at Matsumoto, Japan. The session related to “Query Answering” covered the details of the CoopQA project as well as the proposed framework.
