Question-Answering based on virtually integrated lexical knowledge base
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper proposes an algorithm for causality inference based on a set of lexical knowledge bases that contain information about such items as event role, is-a hierarchy, relevant relation, antonymy, and other features. These lexical knowledge bases have mainly made use of lexical features and symbols in HowNet. Several types of questions are experimented to test the effectiveness of the algorithm here proposed. Particularly in this paper, the question form of “why” is dealt with to show how causality inference works.

Rich Lexical Knowledge Based Q&A System for Ubiquitous Knowledge Service
We present the concept of a Question-Answering System for providing knowledge services. The system is based on a rice production and rice disease textual database which has been structured according to a number of ontological conceptual functions, and associated annotations. In this paper, the rich lexical knowledge is utilized for identifying semantic roles in a question, connecting with the d...

Natural language questions are interpreted to a sequence of patterns to be matched with instances of patterns in a knowledge base (KB) for answering. A natural language (NL) question answering (QA) system utilizes meaningful patterns matching the syntactic/lexical features between the NL questions and KB. In the most of KBs, there are only binary relations in triple form to represent relation b...

In this paper, we develop a knowledge based methodology that maps Automatic Speech Recognizer (ASR) transcriptions to predefined semantic categories in a Voice Activated Question Answering (VAQA) system. The proposed semantic categorization methodology, SemCat, uses a novel lexical chains/ontology based algorithm and relies heavily on customized but domain independent Natural Language Processin...
