A Factoid Question Answering System for Vietnamese
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we describe the development of an end-to-end factoid question answering system for the Vietnamese language. This system combines both statistical models and ontology-based methods in a chain of processing modules to provide high-quality mappings from natural language text to entities. We present the challenges in the development of such an intelligent user interface for an isolating language like Vietnamese and show that techniques developed for inflectional languages cannot be applied “as is”. Our question answering system can answer a wide range of general knowledge questions with promising accuracy on a test set.

This paper describes a exible strategy to generate candidate answers for factoid questions in Question Answering (QA) systems. Most QA systems have prede ned the conceptual categories for candidate answers. But if the conceptual category of answers to any question is not prepared in the QA system, it is hard to extract correct answers to that question. Therefore, we propose an extraction method...
متن کاملPredicting Answer Location Using Shallow Semantic Analogical Reasoning in a Factoid Question Answering System
In this paper we report our work on a factoid question answering task that avoids namedentity recognition tool in the answer selection process. We use semantic analogical reasoning to find the location of the final answer from a textual passage.We demonstrate that without employing any linguistic tools during the answer selection process, our approach achieves a better accuracy than a typical f...
