Answering Questions Of Information Access Dialogue (IAD) Task Using Ellipsis Handling Of Follow-Up Questions
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper, we propose ellipsis handling method for follow-up questions in Information Access Dialogue (IAD) task of NTCIR QAC3. In this method, our system classifies ellipsis patterns of question sentences into three types and recognizes elliptical elements using ellipsis handling algorithm for each type. In the evaluation using Formal Run and Reference Run data, there were several cases which our algorithm could not handle ellipsis correctly. According to the analysis of evaluation results, the main reason of low performance was lack of word information for recognition of referential elements. If our system can recognize word meanings correctly, some errors will not occur and ellipsis handling works well.

This paper provides an overview of NTCIR-5 QAC3 (Question Answering Challenge 3). QAC is a series of challenges for evaluating question answering technologies in Japanese. QAC3 follows the same course as QAC based on the success of the previous two workshops, with its task limited to that corresponding to QAC2 Subtask 3 aiming at the convergence of research resources for novel subjects. This ta...
متن کاملAnswering Questions of IAD Task using Reference Resolution of Follow-up Questions
In this paper, we will propose reference resolution method for follow-up questions in IAD task. In this method, our system classifies reference pattern of question sentences into three types and recognize antecedent using reference resolution algorithm for each type. In the evaluation, performance of our methods was not better results than our expectation. In Formal Run, our system got correct ...

In our participation in QAC3, our Question Answering system developed for QAC2 is extended in two ways, separately. The first system is constructed to improve the performance of answer evaluation. The automatic lexico-syntactic pattern acquisition from large corpora and the method to incorporate the patterns into QA system are developed and evaluated. The second system is constructed to impleme...

We are developing a dialogue manager (DM) for a multimodal interactive Question Answering (QA) system. Our QA system presents answers using text and pictures, and the user may pose follow-up questions using text or speech, while indicating screen elements with the mouse. We developed a corpus of multimodal follow-up questions for this system. This paper describes a detailed analysis of this cor...
