QolA: Fostering Collaboration Within QA
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we suggest a QA pilot task, dubbed QolA, whose joint rationale is allow for collaboration among systems, increase multilinguality and multicollection use, and investigate ways of dealing with different strengths and weaknesses of a population of QA systems. We claim that merging answers, weighting answers, choosing among contradictory answers or generating composite answers, and verifying and validating information, by posing related questions, should be part and parcel of the question answering process. The paper motivates these ideas and suggests a way to foster research in these areas by deploying QA systems as Web services.

The Evaluation of Question Answering Systems: Lessons Learned from the TREC QA Track
The TREC question answering (QA) track was the first large-scale evaluation of open-domain question answering systems. In addition to successfully fostering research on the QA task, the track has also been used to investigate appropriate evaluation methodologies for question answering systems. This paper gives a brief history of the TREC QA track, motivating the decisions made in its implementa...
