Towards Automatic Evaluation of Question/Answering Systems
This paper presents an innovative approach to the automatic evaluation of Question Answering systems. The methodology relies on the use of the Web, considered as an “oracle” containing all the information needed to check the relevance of a candidate answer with respect to a given question. The procedure is completely automatic (i.e. no human intervention is required) and it is based on the assu...

Examples of such questions are ‘What is the melting point of tin?’, and ‘Who wrote the novel Moby Dick?’. The approach we have adopted to the problem uses the Mikrokosmos ontology to represent knowledge about questio...

متن کاملAutomatic detection of descriptive phrases for Question Answering System:
The increasing interest in providing various information on the Web has heightened the need for a sophisticated search tool. Most existing information retrieval systems, however, merely provides documents, and this often leaves users to read a relatively large amount of full-text. The study of question answering (QA) systems, which enable people to locate the information they need directly from...
متن کاملHuman Question Answering Performance using an Interactive Information Retrieval System
Every day, people widely use information retrieval (IR) systems to find documents that answer their questions. Compared to these IR systems, question answering (QA) systems aim to speed the rate at which users find answers by retrieving answers rather than documents. To better understand how IR systems compare to QA systems, we measured the performance of humans using an interactive IR system t...
