Watsonsim: Overview of a Question Answering Engine
نویسندگان
چکیده
The objective of the project is to design and run a system to answer Jeopardy questions, similar to Watson. In the course of a semester, we developed an open source question answering system using the Indri, Lucene, Bing and Google search engines, Apache UIMA, OpenNLP, and Weka among many additional modules. By the end of the semester, we achieved 18% accuracy on Jeopardy questions, and work has not stopped since then.

Optimizing question answering systems by Accelerated Particle Swarm Optimization (APSO)
One of the most important research areas in natural language processing is Question Answering Systems (QASs). Existing search engines, with Google at the top, have many remarkable capabilities. But there is a basic limitation (search engines do not have deduction capability), a capability which a QAS is expected to have. In this perspective, a search engine may be viewed as a semi-mechanized QA...

We investigate the use of probabilistic models and cost-benefit analyses to guide the operation of a Web-based question-answering system. We first provide an overview of research on question answering systems. Then, we present details about AskMSR, a prototype question-answering system that synthesizes answers from the results of queries to a Web search engine. We describe Bayesian analyses of...

متن کاملGoPubMed: Exploring Pubmed with Ontological Background Knowledge
With the ever increasing size of scientific literature, finding relevant documents and answering questions has become even more of a challenge. Recently, ontologies — hierarchical, controlled vocabularies — have been introduced to annotate genomic data. They can also improve the question answering and the selection of relevant documents in the literature search. Search engines such as GoPubMed....
