An Entity-Based approach to Answering Recurrent and Non-Recurrent Questions with Past Answers
نویسندگان
چکیده
Community question answering (CQA) systems such as Yahoo! Answers allow registered-users to ask and answer questions in various question categories. However, a significant percentage of asked questions in Yahoo! Answers are unanswered. In this paper, we propose to reduce this percentage by reusing answers to past resolved questions from the site. Specifically, we propose to satisfy unanswered questions in entity rich categories by searching for and reusing the best answers to past resolved questions with shared needs. For unanswered questions that do not have a past resolved question with a shared need, we propose to use the best answer to a past resolved question with similar needs. Our experiments on a Yahoo! Answers dataset shows that our approach retrieves most of the past resolved questions that have shared or similar needs to unanswered questions.

In this paper we consider the problem of continuously discovering image contents by actively asking image based questions and subsequently answering the questions being asked. The key components include a Visual Question Generation (VQG) module and a Visual Question Answering module, in which Recurrent Neural Networks (RNN) and Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) are used. Given a dataset that c...

متن کاملFull-Time Supervision based Bidirectional RNN for Factoid Question Answering
Recently, bidirectional recurrent neural network (BRNN) has been widely used for question answering (QA) tasks with promising performance. However, most existing BRNN models extract the information of questions and answers by directly using a pooling operation to generate the representation for loss or similarity calculation. Hence, these existing models don’t put supervision (loss or similarit...

Expert finding for question answering is a challenging problem in Community-based Question Answering (CQA) site, arising in many applications such as question routing and the identification of best answers. In order to provide high-quality experts, many existing approaches learn the user model mainly from their past question-answering activities in CQA sites, which suffer from the sparsity prob...
