Adaptation of LIMSI's QALC for QA4MRE
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we present LIMSI participation to one of the pilot tasks of QA4MRE at CLEF 2012: Machine Reading of Biomedical Texts about Alzheimer. For this exercise, we adapted an existing question answering (QA) system, QALC, by searching answers in the reading document. This basic version was used for the evaluation and obtains 0.2, which was increased to 0.325 after basic corrections. We developed then different methods for choosing an answer, based on the expected answer type and the comparison between question plus answer rewritten to form hypothesis compared with candidates sentences. We also conducted studies on relation extraction by using an existing system. The last version of our system obtains 0.375.

Selecting Answers with Structured Lexical Expansion and Discourse Relations LIMSI's Participation at QA4MRE 2013
In this paper, we present the LIMSI’s participation to QA4MRE 2013.We decided to test two kinds of methods. The first one focuses on complex questions, such as causal questions, and exploits discourse relations. Relation recognition shows promising results, however it has to be improved to have an impact on answer selection. The second method is based on semantic variations. We explored the Eng...
متن کاملDocument selection refinement based on linguistic features for QALC, a Question Answering system
Answering to precise questions requires applying Natural Language techniques in order to locate the answers inside retrieved documents. The QALC system, presented in this paper, participated t o the Question Answering track of the TREC8 and TREC9 evaluations. QALC exploits an analysis of documents based on the search for multi-word terms and their variations. These indexes are used to select a ...

In this report we describe the QALC system (the Question-Answering program of the Language and Cognition group at LIMSI-CNRS) which has been involved in the QA-track evaluation at TREC8. The purpose of the Question-Answering track is to nd the answers to a set of 200 questions. The answers are text sequences extracted from the volumes 4 and 5 of the TREC collection. All the questions have at le...
متن کاملThe LogAnswer Project at QA4MRE 2012
For QA4MRE 2012, we have improved our prototype of a pure logic-based answer validation system that was originally developed for QA4MRE 2011. The system uses core functionality of the LogAnswer question answering (QA) system available on the web, which was combined and extended such as to best meet the demands of the QA4MRE task. In particular, coreference resolution is used in order to allow k...
متن کاملLIMSI's experiments in domain adaptation for IWSLT11
LIMSI took part in the IWSLT 2011 TED task in the MT track for English to French using the in-house n-code system, which implements the n-gram based approach to Machine Translation. This framework not only allows to achieve state-of-the-art results for this language pair, but is also appealing due to its conceptual simplicity and its use of well understood statistical language models. Using thi...
