ICT-DCU Question Answering Task at NTCIR6
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes details of our participation in the NTCIR-6 Chinese-to-Chinese Question Answering task. We use the “retrieval plus extraction approach” to get answers for questions. We first split the documents into short passages, and then retrieve potentially relevant passages for a question, and finally extract named entity answers from the most relevant passages. For question type identification, we use simple heuristic rules which cover most questions. The Lemur toolkit was used with the okapi model for document retrieval. Results of our task submission are given and some preliminary conclusions drawn.

In this paper, we describe the JAVELIN Cross Language Question Answering system, which includes modules for question analysis, keyword translation, document retrieval, information extraction and answer generation. In the NTCIR6 CLQA2 evaluation, our system achieved 19% and 13% accuracy in the English-to-Chinese and English-to-Japanese subtasks, respectively. An overall analysis and a detailed m...
متن کاملTwo-Pass Named Entity Classification for Cross Language Question Answering
In this paper, we present the mono-lingual and bilingual question answering experimental results at NTCIR6-CLQA. We combine most of the online resources and available resources to our QA systems without employing additional resources such as ontology, labeled data. Our method relies on three main important components, namely, passage retrieval, question classifier, and the named entity recogniz...
متن کاملA Monolithic Approach and a Type-by-Type Approach for Non-Factoid Question-answering - Yokohama National University at NTCIR-6 QAC
In order to process non-factoid questions in NTCIR6 QAC, we introduced two types of approaches. First one has a monolithic architecture that retrieves answer passages related to a question using lexical chain. The other one has a type-by-type architecture and consists of four subsystems: i) the subsystem for definitional and other-type questions, ii) the subsystem for why-type questions, iii) t...
متن کاملICT Experiments in TREC 11 QA Main Task
This is the second time we participate in the TREC-QA track. We put emphasis on candidate passage ranking and answer matching. As to named entity tagging, we applied the latest version of GATE and did some succeeding work aiming at our goal. This paper presents our methods in detail.
