Complex Question Answering: Unsupervised Learning Approaches and Experiments
Complex questions that require inferencing and synthesizing information from multiple documents can be seen as a kind of topic-oriented, informative multi-document summarization where the goal is to produce a single text as a compressed version of a set of documents with a minimum loss of relevant information. In this paper, we experiment with one empirical method and two unsupervised statistic...
متن کاملSupervised and Unsupervised Transfer Learning for Question Answering
Although transfer learning has been shown to be successful for tasks like object and speech recognition, its applicability to question answering (QA) has yet to be well-studied. In this paper, we conduct extensive experiments to investigate the transferability of knowledge learned from a source QA dataset to a target dataset using two QA models. The performance of both models on a TOEFL listeni...
متن کاملQuestion Answering Experiments and Resources
MIT CSAIL’s entries for the TREC Question Answering track (Voorhees, 2006) explored the effects of new document retrieval and duplicate removal strategies for ‘list’ and ‘other’ questions, established a baseline for other systems in the interactive task, and focused on question analysis and paraphrasing, rather than incorporation of external knowledge, in the factoid task. Many of the individua...
متن کاملWeb-Based Unsupervised Learning for Query Formulation in Question Answering
Converting questions to effective queries is crucial to open-domain question answering systems. In this paper, we present a web-based unsupervised learning approach for transforming a given natural-language question to an effective query. The method involves querying a search engine for Web passages that contain the answer to the question, extracting patterns that characterize fine-grained clas...
متن کاملExperiments With Interactive Question Answering In Complex Scenarios
This paper addresses the pragmatic challenges that state-of-the-art question/answering systems face in trying to decompose complex information-seeking scenarios. We propose that question decomposition can be approached in one of two ways: either by approximating the domain-specific knowledge for a particular set of domains, or by identifying the decomposition strategies employed by human users....
