A generic retrieval system for biomedical literatures: USTB at BioASQ2015 Question Answering Task

چکیده
In this paper we describe our participation in the 2015 BioASQ challenge task on question answering (Phase A). Participants need to respond to the natural language questions in the format of documents, snippets, concepts and RDF triplets. In document retrieval, we build a generic retrieval model based on the sequential dependence model, Word Embedding and Ranking Model. In addition, from the view of the special significance of titles(Title Significance Validation), we re-rank the top-K results by counting the meaningful nouns in the titles. The top-K documents are split into sentences and indexed for snippets retrieval. The similar models of document retrieval are applied for this part. To extract the biomedical concepts and corresponding RDF triplets, we use concept recognition tools MetaMap and Banner . Statistics indicate that our systems outperform other results.

متن کاملBoosting 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...
