Using logical relevance for question answering
We propose a novel method of determining the appropriateness of an answer to a question through a proof of logical relevance rather than a logical proof of truth. We define logical relevance as the idea that answers should not be considered as absolutely true or false in relation to a question, but should be considered true more flexibly in a sliding scale of aptness. This enables us to reason ...
متن کاملTowards Logical Inference for Arabic Question-Answering
This article constitutes an opening to think of the modeling and the analysis of Arabic texts within a question-answering system. It is a question of exceeding the traditional investigations focused on morpho-syntactic approaches. We present a new approach that analyzes a text, transforms it to logical predicates and extracts the accurate answer. In addition, we represent different levels of in...
متن کاملPseudo Relevance Feedback Using Named Entities for Question Answering
Relevance feedback has already proven its usefulness in probabilistic information retrieval (IR). In this research we explore whether a pseudo relevance feedback technique on IR can improve the Question Answering task (QA). The basis of our exploration is the use of relevant named entities from the top retrieved documents as clues of relevance. We discuss two interesting findings from these exp...
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 کاملUsing Coreference For Question Answering
We present a system which retrieves answers to queries based on coreference relationships between entities and events in the query and documents. An evaluation of this system is given which demonstra tes that the the amount of information that the user must process on average, tQ find an answer to their query, is reduced by an order of magnitude. 1 I n t r o d u c t i o n Search engines have be...
