sJanta: An Open Domain Question Answering System
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper reports on the participation of the system namely “sJanta” at NII Testbeds and Community for Information Access Research Project 11 (NTCIR-11) Question Answering (QA)-Lab English sub-task. sJanta is a modular question answering system that can answer multiple choice questions given in English natural language. We use English Wikipedia as knowledge-base. At first we retrieved Wikipedia articles for the question. After finding the Wikipedia articles, we retrieved question specific passages. Then, we did dependency parsing, question context analysis and semantic similarity matching to score the answer choices. Finally, the best score-generating answer choice was picked as the answer. Although sJanta applied very simple technique in answering the questions, performance of the system is quite promising.

Investigating Embedded Question Reuse in Question Answering
The investigation presented in this paper is a novel method in question answering (QA) that enables a QA system to gain performance through reuse of information in the answer to one question to answer another related question. Our analysis shows that a pair of question in a general open domain QA can have embedding relation through their mentions of noun phrase expressions. We present methods f...

Question Answering (QA) has reappeared in research activities and in companies over the past years. We present an architecture of Semantic-based closed and open domain Question Answering System (ScoQAS ) over ontology resources (not free text) with two different prototyping: Ontology-based closed domain and an open domain under Linked Open Data (LOD) resource. Both scenarios are presented, disc...
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 کاملA Speech Interface for Open-Domain Question-Answering
Speech interfaces to question-answering systems offer significant potential for finding information with phones and mobile networked devices. We describe a demonstration of spoken question answering using a commercial dictation engine whose language models we have customized to questions, a Web-based textprediction interface allowing quick correction of errors, and an open-domain question-answe...
