چکیده
This paper describes the architecture, operation and results obtained with the Question Answering prototype for Spanish developed in the Department of Language Processing and Information Systems at the University of Alicante for CLEF-2003 Spanish monolingual QA evaluation task. Our system has been fully developed from scratch and it combines shallow natural language processing tools with statistical data redundancy techniques. This system is able to perform QA tasks independently from static corpora or from Web documents. Moreover, World Wide Web can be used as external resource to obtain evidences for supporting and complementing CLEF Spanish corpora.
