On the Effective Use of Cyc in a Question Answering System
نویسندگان
چکیده
We describe a commercial question-answering system that uses AI – specifically, the Cyc system – to support passage retrieval and perform deductive QA, to produce results superior to what each question-answering technique could produce alone.

Question answering system is a field in natural language processing and information retrieval noticed by researchers in these decades. Due to a growing interest in this field of research, the need to have appropriate data sources is perceived. Most researches about developing question answering corpus area have been done in English so far, but in other languages as Persian, the lack of these co...
متن کاملInvestigating 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...
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...

The development of computer systems and extensive use of information technology in the everyday life of people have just made it more and more important for them to make quick access to information that has received great importance. Increasing the volume of information makes it difficult to manage or control. Thus, some instruments need to be provided to use this information. The QA system is ...
متن کاملQualitative Spatial Reasoning for Question-Answering: Axiom Reuse and Algebraic Methods
Knowledge-based question answering relies on declarative knowledge and an inference procedure such as theorem proving. In this paper, we explore question answering based on spatial knowledge. We first consider a broad general-purpose axiomatic theory covering different aspects of qualitative spatial representation such as topology, orientation, distance, size, and shape. Since it can be expensi...
