Abstract: A method for training a machine learning model for open domain question answering includes receiving trained classifiers for question answering. The received trained classifiers are used to generate a set of candidate answers to a question. Second trained classifiers are used for scoring each of the candidate answers. The scoring indicates a measure of how well each candidate answer answers the question. Using the second trained classifiers for scoring each of the candidate answers includes comparing each candidate answer to a first ground truth corresponding to the question. A set of top-scoring candidate answers is presented to a human operator who marks each as correct or incorrect. The correct candidate answers are treated as additional ground truths for further training the first trained classifiers.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a method for a core network to obtain user access information during a handover procedure, which includes: when the user handovers between HNBs or HeNBs and the core network does not carry out access control of the user, if the destination HeNB is connected to the core network directly or the user which does not support a closed subscriber group handovers to a hybrid destination HNB, the network element which controls the access of the user transmitting membership information of the user to the core network. The invention also discloses a corresponding system. The invention realizes that under the condition that the RAN side controlling the access of the UE during the handover process and the CN cannot know the membership of the UE, the RAN side notifying the core network of the membership information of the UE and the information of the H(e)NB.
