چکیده
In our paper we describe our second collective challenge to NTCIR-6 Question Answering Challenge (QAC4). Also this time we decided to investigate the limits of the ”as automatic as possible” approach to QA.

We will introduce our ideas and methods and then conclude with results and a proposal of further innovations.
