Extending a Logic-Based Question Answering System for Administrative Texts

LogAnswer is a question answering (QA) system for German that uses machine learning for integrating logic-based and shallow (lexical) validation features. For ResPubliQA 2009, LogAnswer was adjusted to specifics of administrative texts, as found in the JRC Acquis corpus. Moreover, support for a broader class of questions relevant to the domain was added, including questions that ask for a purpo...

The LogAnswer Project at ResPubliQA 2010

The LogAnswer project investigates the potential of deep linguistic processing and logical reasoning for question answering. The paragraph selection task of ResPubliQA 2010 offered the opportunity to validate improvements of the LogAnswer QA system that reflect our experience from ResPubliQA 2009. Another objective was to demonstrate the benefit of QA technologies over a pure IR approach. Two r...

The LogAnswer Project at CLEF 2009

The LogAnswer system, a research prototype of a question answering (QA) system for German, participates in QA@CLEF for the second time. The ResPubliQA task was chosen for evaluating the results of the general consolidation of the system and improvements concerning robustness and processing of administrative language. LogAnswer uses a machine learning (ML) approach based on rank-optimizing decis...
