چکیده
This paper describes a prototype multilingual Q&A system that we have designed to participate in the Q&A Track of TREC-12. The system answer concrete responses, then we participate in the Q&A main task for factoid questions. The main areas of our system are: (1) Inductive Logic Programming to learn the question type, (2) Clustering of Named Entities to improve Information Retrieval and (3) Semantic relations and EuroWordNet synsets to perform a language-independent answer extraction.

This paper describes the experiments of the TALPUPC group for factoid and ’other’ (definitional) questions at TREC 2005 Main Question Answering (QA) task. Our current approach for factoid questions is based on a voting scheme among three QA systems: TALP-QA (our previous QA system), Sibyl (a new QA system developed at DAMA-UPC and TALP-UPC), and Aranea (a web-based data-driven approach). For de...
