Answer Extraction in Technical Domains
نویسندگان
چکیده
In recent years, the information overload caused by the new media has made the shortcomings of traditional Information Retrieval increasingly evident. Practical needs of industry, government organizations and individual users alike push the research community towards systems that can exactly pinpoint those parts of documents that contain the information requested, rather than return a set of relevant documents. Answer Extraction (AE) systems aim to satisfy this need. In this article we discuss the problems faced in AE and present one such system.

NLP for Answer Extraction in Technical Domains
In this paper we argue that questionanswering (QA) over technical domains is distinctly different from TREC-based QA or Web-based QA and it cannot benefit from data-intensive approaches. Technical questions arise in situations where concrete problems require specific answers and explanations. Finding a justification of the answer in the context of the document is essential if we have to solve a...
متن کاملTerminology as Knowledge in Answer Extraction
It is well known that one of the greatest hurdles in automatically processing technical documentation is the large amount of specific terminology that characterizes these domains. Terminology poses two major challenges to the developers of NLP applications: how to identify domain specific terms in the documents and how to efficiently process them. In this paper we will present methodologies tha...

متن کاملUsing Information Extraction and Natural Language Generation to Answer E-Mail
This paper discusses the use of information extraction and natural language generation in the design of an automated e-mail answering system. We analyse short free-form texts and generating a customised and linguistically-motivated answer to frequently asked questions. We describe the approach and the design of a system currently being developed to answer e-mail in French regarding printerrelat...
متن کاملAnswer Extraction Towards Better Evaluations Of NLP Systems
We argue that reading comprehension tests are not particularly suited for the evaluation of NLP systems. Reading comprehension tests are specifically designed to evaluate human reading skills, and these require vast amounts of world knowledge and common-sense reasoning capabilities. Experience has shown that this kind of full-fledged question answering (QA) over texts from a wide range of domai...
