چکیده

SLQAL (Waseda University Sakai Laboratory QALab team) participated in Phase-1 and Phase-3 of the NTCIR-12 QALab-2 Japanese subtask. This paper briefly describes our approaches. Our runs scored 25 points in Phase 1 and 35 points in Phase 3. An initial failure analysis shows that our system performs particularly poorly for Type-T questions as well as questions that require time expression processing. This work was done as a bachelor’s thesis of the first author of this paper.
