The Use of Lexical Context in Question Answering for Spanish
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes the prototype developed by the Language Technologies Laboratory at INAOE for Spanish monolingual QA evaluation task at CLEF 2004. Our approach is centered in the use of context at a lexical level in order to identify possible answers to factoid questions. Such method is supported by an alternative one based on pattern recognition in order to identify candidate answers to definition questions. The methods applied at different stages of the system and prototype architecture for question answering are described. The paper shows and discusses the results achieved with this approach.

متن کاملBoosting Passage Retrieval through Reuse in Question Answering
Question Answering (QA) is an emerging important field in Information Retrieval. In a QA system the archive of previous questions asked from the system makes a collection full of useful factual nuggets. This paper makes an initial attempt to investigate the reuse of facts contained in the archive of previous questions to help and gain performance in answering future related factoid questions. I...
