Socrates: A question answering prototype for Bulgarian
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper we present “Socrates” a prototype of a QA system for the Bulgarian language. The system exploits both encyclopaedic resources and information found on the Web. The approach uses linguistic patterns and indicators to rank the results obtained from the Web. An encyclopaedic virtual database VIDA was created to provide uniform interface to different on-line and offline encyclopaedic resources. The system was tested on 100 questions from TREC 2001 translated in Bulgarian. The system answered correctly 52 of them.
