چکیده
In this paper, we describe the extension of an existing monolingual QA system for English-to-Chinese and English-toJapanese cross-lingual question answering (CLQA). We also attempt to characterize the influence of translation on CLQA performance through experimental evaluation and analysis. The paper also describes some language-specific issues for keyword translation in CLQA.

متن کاملA Method of Cross-Lingual Question-Answering Based on Machine Translation and Noun Phrase Translation using Web documents - Yokohama National University at NTCIR-6 CLQA
We propose a method of English-Japanese cross lingual question-answering (E-J CLQA) that uses machine translation (MT) and an existing Japanese QA system. We also introduce noun phrase translation using Web documents in order to compensate the insufficiencies in the bilingual dictionary of the MT system. We combine several phrase translation techniques including 1) phrase translation using Wiki...
متن کاملStatistical Machine Translation based Passage Retrieval for Cross-Lingual Question Answering --- Experiments at NTCIR-6
In this paper, we propose a novel approach for Cross-Lingual Question Answering (CLQA), where the statistical machine translation (SMT) is utilized. In the proposed method, the SMT is deeply incorporated into the question answering process, instead of using it as the pre-processing of the mono-lingual QA process as in the previous work. The proposed method can be considered as exploiting the SM...

We propose methods of English-Japanese and Japanese-English cross language question-answering (E-J/J-E CLQA) that use machine translation (MT), transliteration, and an existing Japanese QA system that deeply depends on Japanese. With regard to the E-J task, in order to compensate the insufficiencies in the bilingual dictionary of an MT system, we utilize the documents on the Web to translate pr...
