Answer Attenuation in Question Answering
Research in Question Answering (QA) has been dominated by the TREC methodology of black-box system evaluation. This makes it difficult to evaluate the effectiveness of individual components and requires human involvement. We have collected a set of answer locations within the AQUAINT corpus for a sample of TREC questions, in doing so we also analyse the ability of humans to retrieve answers. Ou...
متن کاملAnswer Formulation for Question-Answering
In this paper, we describe our experimentations in answer formulation for question-answering (QA) systems. In the context of QA, answer formulation can serve two purposes: improving answer extraction or improving human-computer interaction (HCI). Each purpose has different precision/recall requirements. We present our experiments for both purposes and argue that formulations of better linguisti...
متن کاملInvestigating Embedded Question Reuse in Question Answering
The investigation presented in this paper is a novel method in question answering (QA) that enables a QA system to gain performance through reuse of information in the answer to one question to answer another related question. Our analysis shows that a pair of question in a general open domain QA can have embedding relation through their mentions of noun phrase expressions. We present methods f...
متن کاملAutomated Question Answering System
We present SFS-QA, an automatic realtime question-answering system, that can answer free-text questions within a minute. SFS-QA system analyzes a question and transforms it into a boolean keyword query using Stanford Dependency Parser and MetaMap tagger. The query is used to obtain matching web pages from the World Wide Web through Google Search API. In addition, two specific data sources: Yaho...
متن کاملAnswer type validation in question answering systems
In open domain question-answering systems, numerous questions wait for answers of an explicit type. For example, the question “Which president succeeded Jacques Chirac?” requires an instance of president as answer. The method we present in this article aims at verifying that an answer given by a system corresponds to the given type. This verification is done by combining criteria provided by di...
