چکیده
This article outlines our participation in the Question Answering Track of the Text REtrieval Conference organised by the National Institute of Standards and Technology. This was our second year in the track and we hoped to improve our performance relative to 2002. In the next section we outline the general strategy we adopted, the changes relative to last year and the approaches taken to the three question types, namely factoid, list and definition. Following this the individual system components are described in more detail. Thirdly, the runs we submitted are presented together with the results obtained. Finally, conclusions are drawn based on our findings.
