چکیده

De plus en plus de systèmes de question-réponses (QR) utilisent le Web pour trouver une réponse courte et précise à une question exprimée en langue naturelle. Dans cet article, nous présentons une méthode pour filtrer les mauvais candidats de réponses et re-ordonner les candidats dans notre module de QR en utilisant des relations sémantiques. L’idée est d’identifier la relation sémantique et l’argument principal exprimé dans la question et de trouver dans la collection de documents (ou sur le Web) d’autres indices indiquant que la relation sémantique entre l’argument de la question et le candidat de réponse existe vraiment. Les résultats avec le corpus de questions de TREC-9 et TREC-10 indique une nette amélioration de la précision de la liste des candidats.
