Question Answering Performance on Table Data
نویسندگان
چکیده
Question answering (QA) on table data is a challenging information retrieval task. This paper describes a QA system for tables created with both machine learning and heuristic table extraction methods. Errors were analyzed in order to improve the system using government statistical data. We also apply these improvements on another type of table data set and show the experimental results.

Investigating Embedded Question Reuse in Question Answering
The investigation presented in this paper is a novel method in question answering (QA) that enables a QA system to gain performance through reuse of information in the answer to one question to answer another related question. Our analysis shows that a pair of question in a general open domain QA can have embedding relation through their mentions of noun phrase expressions. We present methods f...

In a QA system the archive of previous questions asked from the system makes a collection full of useful factual nuggets. This paper makes an initial attempt to investigate the reuse of facts contained in the archive of previous questions to help and gain performance in answering future related factoid questions. I...

متن کاملOpen-Domain Question Answering on Heterogeneous Data
Open-domain question answering is a hot research topic in recent years. QA Track held by NIST has offered a new evaluation on this topic. However, its target is aimed at plain text collection only. This paper focuses on QA for heterogeneous data, including plain text, summaries, tabular data, and video programs. Discussion of what necessary adaptation could be done to deal with such kind of dat...
متن کاملEvaluation of a Layered Approach to Question Answering over Linked Data
We present a question answering system architecture which processes natural language questions in a pipeline consisting of five steps: i) question parsing and query template generation, ii) lookup in an inverted index, iii) string similarity computation, iv) lookup in a lexical database in order to find synonyms, and v) semantic similarity computation. These steps are ordered with respect to th...
