Experiments on Cross-Linguality and Question-Type Driven Strategy Selection for Open-Domain QA

چکیده
We describe the extensions made to our 2004 QA@CLEF German/English QA-system, toward a fully German-English/EnglishGerman cross-language system with answer validation through web usage. Details concerning the processing of factoid, definition and temporal questions are given and the results obtained in the monolingual German, bilingual English-German and German-English tasks are briefly presented and discussed.

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...
متن کاملModel-driven Development for Adapting Question Answering Systems to Restricted Domains
A Question Answering (QA) system must provide concise answers from large collections of documents to questions stated by the user in natural language. However, although many QA systems for open domain exist, its adaptation for restricted domains (such as those of healthcare, agri culture, transportation, or science) is a far from trivial task. The principal problem is that domain experts ask mo...
متن کاملCross Lingual QA: A Modular Baseline
This work evaluates the applicability of currently available research tools to the problem of cross lingual QA. We establish a task baseline by combining a cross lingual IR system with a monolingual QA system in a very short amount of time. A higher precision strategy involves applying the monolingual QA system to an automatically translated question, assumed to be correct. A higher coverage st...
متن کاملQuestions-Réponses en domaine ouvert : sélection pertinente de documents en fonction du contexte de la question. (Open domain question-answering : relevant document selection geared to the question)
Title : Open domain question-answering : relevant document selection geared to the question This thesis aims at defining a unified adaptation of the document selection and answer extraction strategies, based on the document and question types, in a Question-Answering (QA) context. The solution is integrated in RITEL (a LIMSI QA system) to assess the contribution. We develop and investigate a me...
متن کاملType Checking in Open-Domain Question Answering
Open domain question answering (QA) systems have to bridge the potential vocabulary mismatch between a question and its candidate answers. One can view this as a recall problem and address it accordingly. Recall oriented strategies to QA may generate considerable amounts of noise. To combat this, many open domain QA systems contain an explicit filtering or re-ranking component, which often chec...
