AQUA: A Question Answering System for Heterogeneous Sources
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes AQUA our question answering over the Web. AQUA was designed to work over heterogeneous sources. This means that AQUA is equipped to work as closed domain and in addition to open-domain question answering. As a first instance, AQUA tries to answer a question using a Knowledge base. If a query cannot be satisfied over a knowledge base/database. Then, AQUA tries to find an answer on web pages (i.e. it uses as corpus the internet as resource). Our system uses NLP (Natural Language Processing), First order logic and Information Extraction technologies. AQUA has been tested using an ontology which describes academic life.

متن کاملAQUA: A Knowledge-Based Architecture for a Question Answering System
This paper describes AQUA, a question answering system. AQUA combines Natural Language processing (NLP), Ontologies, Logic, and Information Retrieval technologies in a uniform framework. AQUA makes intensive use of an ontology (which encode knowledge) in several parts of the question answering system. The ontology is used in the refinement of the initial query, the reasoning process (a generali...
متن کاملA Knowledge-Based Approach to Ontologies Data Integration
This paper describes a proposal of multiple ontology data integration system for a question answering framework called AQUA. We propose an approach for mediating between a given query and a set of resources. This method is based on a Meta-ontology (which contains contents of each individual sources) and our similarity algorithm based on analysis of neighborhood of classes. We argue that AQUA ca...
متن کاملOntology Mapping with domain specific agents in the AQUA Question Answering System
This paper describes a domain specific multi-agent ontologymapping solution in the AQUA query answering system. In order to incorporate uncertainty inherent to the mapping process, the system uses the DempsterShafer model for dealing with incomplete and uncertain information produced during the mapping. A novel approach is presented how specialized agents with partial local knowledge of the par...
