UTD HLTRI at TREC 2017: Complex Answer Retrieval Track
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents our Complex Answer PAragraph Retrieval (CAPAR) system designed for our participation in the TREC Complex Answer Retrieval (CAR) track. Because we were provided with a massive training set consisting of complex questions as well as the paragraphs that answered each aspect of the complex question, we cast the paragraph ranking as a learning to rank (L2R) problem, such that we can produce optimal results at testing time. We considered two alternative Learning to Rank (L2R) approaches for obtaining the relevance scores of each paragraph: (1) the Siamese Attention Network (SANet) for Pairwise Ranking and (2) AdaRank. The evaluation results obtained for CAPAR revealed that the Siamese Attention Network (SANet) for Pairwise Ranking outperformed AdaRank as the L2R approach for CAPAR.

متن کاملUsing Semantic Overlap Scoring in Answering TREC Relationship Questions
A first step in answering complex questions, such as those in the “Relationship” task of the Text REtrieval Conference’s Question Answering track (TREC/QA), is finding passages likely to contain pieces of the answer—passage retrieval. We introduce semantic overlap scoring, a new passage retrieval algorithm that facilitates credit assignment for inexact matches between query and candidate answer...
