Answer Validation Through Robust Logical Inference
نویسنده
چکیده
The paper featuresMAVE, a knowledge-based system for answer validation through deep linguistic processing and logical inference. A relaxation loop is used to determine a robust indicator of logical entailment. The system not only validates answers directly, but also gathers evidence by proving the original question and comparing results with the answer candidate. This method boosts recall by up to 13%. Additional indicators signal false positives. The filter increases precision by up to 14.5% without compromising recall of the system.

Filtering and Fusion of Question-Answering Streams by Robust Textual Inference
The paper presents an answer validation system based on robust textual inference. The system is evaluated on the AVE06 test set for German. Ablation experiments are used to determine the contribution of functional components and knowledge sources to the achieved validation quality. We demonstrate the utility of the approach for filtering answers and for the fusion of several answer sources into...
متن کاملUniversity of Hagen at CLEF 2007: Answer Validation Exercise
MAVE (Multinet-based Answer VErification) is an answer validation system based on deep linguistic processing and logical inference originally developed for AVE 2006. Robustness of the entailment check is obtained by embedding the theorem prover in a constraint relaxation loop. The system can also be used for answer selection, which is then guided by the joint evidence of all available text pass...

The paper features MAVE (MultiNet answer verification), a system for validating results of question-answering systems which serves as a testbed for robust knowledge processing based on multi-layered extended semantic networks (MultiNet [4]). The system utilizes logical inference rather than graph matching for recognising textual entailment, which makes it easily extensible by further knowledge ...
متن کاملExtending the Qualitative Trajectory Calculus Based on the Concept of Accessibility of Moving Objects in the Paths
Qualitative spatial representation and reasoning are among the important capabilities in intelligent geospatial information system development. Although a large contribution to the study of moving objects has been attributed to the quantitative use and analysis of data, such calculations are ineffective when there is little inaccurate data on position and geometry or when explicitly explaining ...
متن کاملLogical Validation, Answer Merging and Witness Selection - A Study in Multi-Stream Question Answering
The paper presents an approach to multi-stream question answering (QA) using deep semantic parsing and logical validation for filtering answer candidates. A robust entailment check is accomplished by embedding the prover in a relaxation loop. Fallback strategies ensure a graceful degradation of performance in the case of parsing problems. The logical validity score is complemented by false-posi...
