Knowledge-Based Question Answering

چکیده
This paper describes the Webclopedia Question Answering system, in which methods to automatically learn patterns and parameterizations are combined with hand-crafted rules and concept ontologies. The source for answers is a collection of 1 million newspaper texts, distributed by NIST. In general, two kinds of knowledge are used by Webclopedia to answer questions: knowledge about language and knowledge about the world. The former is embodied both in the Information Retrieval engine that identifies likely answer sentences and the CONTEX parser that analyses the input question and candidate answers. The latter is embodied in a QA typology of some 140 nodes, a concept ontology of some 10,000 concepts, and the IR engine’s ranking algorithm that takes typical document structure into account.

Question answering systems are produced and developed to provide exact answers to the question posted in natural language. One of the most important parts of question answering systems is question classification. The purpose of question classification is predicting the kind of answer needed for the question in natural language. The literature works can be categorized as rule-based and learning...
متن کاملOptimizing question answering systems by Accelerated Particle Swarm Optimization (APSO)
One of the most important research areas in natural language processing is Question Answering Systems (QASs). Existing search engines, with Google at the top, have many remarkable capabilities. But there is a basic limitation (search engines do not have deduction capability), a capability which a QAS is expected to have. In this perspective, a search engine may be viewed as a semi-mechanized QA...
متن کاملA Spoken Question Answering System Based on Conditional Knowledge
A conditional schema is a graph-based structure which is able to represent conditional knowledge. This structure was introduced in [11]. The inference mechanism corresponding to the conditional schema representations was developed in [12]. In this paper we propose a question answering system that can represent and process conditional knowledge using these mechanisms. The structure of such a sys...
متن کاملKBQA: An Online Template Based Question Answering System over Freebase
Question answering (QA) has become a popular way for humans to access billion-scale knowledge bases. QA systems over knowledge bases produce accurate and concise answers. The key of QA over knowledge bases is to map the question to a certain substructure in the knowledge base. To do this, KBQA (Question Answering over Knowledge Bases) uses a new kind of question representation: templates, learn...
متن کاملA Question Answering System for Construction Project Management
The usage of computer applications in the construction industry has steadily increased over the years, as has the complexity of many applications. However, project managers, who are usually responsible for making decisions, are not necessarily familiar with these ever-increasingly complex applications. As a result, a question answering system is needed for efficiently managing construction proj...
