Question Answering on Linked Data: Challenges and Future Directions
نویسندگان
چکیده
Question Answering (QA) systems are becoming the inspiring model for the future of search engines. While, recently, datasets underlying QA systems have been promoted from unstructured datasets to structured datasets with semantically highly enriched metadata, question answering systems are still facing serious challenges and are therefore not meeting users’ expectations. This paper provides an exhaustive insight of challenges known so far for building QA systems, with a special focus on employing structured data (i.e. knowledge graphs). It thus helps researchers to easily spot gaps to fill with their future research agendas.

HAWK@QALD5 - Trying to Answer Hybrid Questions with Various Simple Ranking Techniques
The growing amount of data available in the Document Web as well as in the Linked Data Web has lead to an information gap. Information needed to answer complex questions might often require full-text data as well as Linked Data. Thus, HAWK combines unstructured and structured data sources. In this article, we introduce HAWK, a novel entity search approach for hybrid question answering based on ...
متن کاملEvaluating question answering over linked data
The availability of large amounts of open, distributed and structured semantic data on the web has no precedent in the history of computer science. In recent years, there have been important advances in semantic search and question answering over RDF data. In particular, natural language interfaces to online semantic data have the advantage that they can exploit the expressive power of Semantic...
متن کاملBoosting Passage Retrieval through Reuse in Question Answering
Question Answering (QA) is an emerging important field in Information Retrieval. In a QA system the archive of previous questions asked from the system makes a collection full of useful factual nuggets. This paper makes an initial attempt to investigate the reuse of facts contained in the archive of previous questions to help and gain performance in answering future related factoid questions. I...
متن کاملCharacterizing the Validity and Real-World Utility of Health Technology Assessments in Healthcare: Future Directions; Comment on “Problems and Promises of Health Technologies: The Role of Early Health Economic Modelling”
With their article, Grutters et al raise an important question: What do successful health technology assessments (HTAs) look like, and what is their real-world utility in decision-making? While many HTAs are published in peer-reviewed journals, many are considered proprietary and their attributes remain confidential, limiting researchers’ ability to answer these questio...
متن کاملRetrieval Using Structure for Question Answering
This paper examines the use of XML for modern extractionbased question answering (QA). We feel that the XML community has taken too narrow a view of structured retrieval, and that examining specific applications such as QA can give the XML retrieval community a broader view of the problems and challenges that structured retrieval faces. In our examination of QA, we argue that the next steps for...
