From Discourse Analysis to Answering Design Questions
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper discusses an approach of modelling design rational expressed in natural language sentences into a discourse model. The discourse model is used to classify captured rationale into discourse categories by taking into account semantic and pragmatic relationships between two design elements. It is expected that accessibility and reusability of captured rationale is improved since retrieval is supported within discourse contexts. A small dataset was collected to test whether selected discourse relations are extractable and whether a machine learning algorithm can generate rules under which appropriate relations can be automatically marked.

Boosting 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...
متن کاملDiscourse Structure For Context Question Answering
In a real-world setting, questions are not asked in isolation, but rather in a cohesive manner that involves a sequence of related questions to meet user’s information needs. The capability to interpret and answer questions based on context is important. In this paper, we discuss the role of discourse modeling in context question answering. In particular, we motivate a semantic-rich discourse r...
متن کاملDiscourse processing for context question answering based on linguistic knowledge
Motivated by the recent effort on scenario-based context question answering (QA), this paper investigates the role of discourse processing and its implication on query expansion for a sequence of questions. Our view is that a question sequence is not random, but rather follows a coherent manner to serve some information goals. Therefore, this sequence of questions can be considered as a mini di...
متن کاملDiscourse Complements Lexical Semantics for Non-factoid Answer Reranking
We propose a robust answer reranking model for non-factoid questions that integrates lexical semantics with discourse information, driven by two representations of discourse: a shallow representation centered around discourse markers, and a deep one based on Rhetorical Structure Theory. We evaluate the proposed model on two corpora from different genres and domains: one from Yahoo! Answers and ...
