Genetic Algorithms for Data-Driven Web Question Answering
We present an evolutionary approach for the computation of exact answers to natural languages (NL) questions. Answers are extracted directly from the N-best snippets, which have been identified by a standard Web search engine using NL questions. The core idea of our evolutionary approach to Web question answering is to search for those substrings in the snippets whose contexts are most similar ...
متن کاملOptimizing Question-Answering Systems Using Genetic Algorithms
In this paper, we consider the challenge of optimizing the behaviour of a question-answering system that can adapt its sequence of processing steps to meet the information needs of a user. One problem is that the sheer number of possible processing sequences the system could use makes it impossible to conduct a complete search for the optimal sequence. Instead, we have developed a genetic algor...
متن کاملA Full Data-Driven System for Multiple Language Question Answering
This paper describes a full data-driven system for question answering. The system uses pattern matching and statistical techniques to identify the relevant passages as well as the candidate answers for factoid and definition questions. Since it does not consider any sophisticated linguistic analysis of questions and answers, it can be applied to different languages without requiring major adapt...
متن کاملParaphrase-Driven Learning for Open Question Answering
We study question answering as a machine learning problem, and induce a function that maps open-domain questions to queries over a database of web extractions. Given a large, community-authored, question-paraphrase corpus, we demonstrate that it is possible to learn a semantic lexicon and linear ranking function without manually annotating questions. Our approach automatically generalizes a see...
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...
