From Minimal Logical Forms for Answer Extraction to Logical Graphs for Question Answering
نویسندگان
چکیده
Many exciting things happened since I left the ExtrAns project at the University of Zurich. In this paper I present a very brief journal of the research that derived from my work at Zurich. My work combined a study of several representations of questions and answer sentences with the development of procedures to find the answer. The culmination of this work was the definition of the Logical Graphs (LGs), which are graph representations derived from ExtrAns’ original Minimal Logical Forms (MLFs), and the development of a method for the automatic learning of question-answer patterns based on LGs. I hope the reader will enjoy reading this journey of ideas.

Answerfinder: Question Answering by Combining Lexical, Syntactic and Semantic Information
We present a question answering system that combines information at the lexical, syntactic, and semantic levels, in the process to find and rank the candidate answer sentences. The candidate exact answers are extracted from the candidate answer sentences by means of a combination of information-extraction techniques (named entity recognition) and patterns based on logical forms. The system part...
متن کاملLearning of Graph Rules for Question Answering
AnswerFinder is a framework for the development of question-answering systems. AnswerFinder is currently being used to test the applicability of graph representations for the detection and extraction of answers. In this paper we briefly describe AnswerFinder and introduce our method to learn graph patterns that link questions with their corresponding answers in arbitrary sentences. The method i...
متن کاملTowards Logical Inference for Arabic Question-Answering
This article constitutes an opening to think of the modeling and the analysis of Arabic texts within a question-answering system. It is a question of exceeding the traditional investigations focused on morpho-syntactic approaches. We present a new approach that analyzes a text, transforms it to logical predicates and extracts the accurate answer. In addition, we represent different levels of in...
متن کاملSyntax-based Concept Extraction for Question Answering Using SEMEX
The SEMEX tool for question answering is presented. Its architecture and features for extracting from input text a network of concept nodes that index syntax-based logical forms, are described. Methods are shown for decomposing questions into boolean combinations of question patterns and for using the concept network and logical forms together with WordNet for question answering. SEMEX's encour...
متن کاملA Real World Implementation of Answer Extraction
In this paper we describe ExtrAns, an answer extraction system. Answer extraction (AE) aims at retrieving those exact passages of a document that directly answer a given user question. AE is more ambitious than information retrieval and information extraction in that the retrieval results are phrases, not entire documents, and in that the queries may be arbitrarily specific. It is less ambitiou...
