Named Entity Recognition for Question Answering
نویسنده
چکیده
Current text-based question answering (QA) systems usually contain a named entity recogniser (NER) as a core component. Named entity recognition has traditionally been developed as a component for information extraction systems, and current techniques are focused on this end use. However, no formal assessment has been done on the characteristics of a NER within the task of question answering. In this paper we present a NER that aims at higher recall by allowing multiple entity labels to strings. The NER is embedded in a question answering system and the overall QA system performance is compared to that of one with a traditional variation of the NER that only allows single entity labels. It is shown that the added noise produced introduced by the additional labels is offset by the higher recall gained, therefore enabling the QA system to have a better chance to find the answer.
