چکیده

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 participated in the question answering track of TREC 2004.

AnswerFinder at TREC 2004

AnswerFinder combines lexical, syntactic, and semantic information in various stages of the question answering process. The candidate sentences are preselected on the basis of (i) the presence of named entity types compatible with the expected answer type, and (ii) a score combination of the overlap of words, grammatical relations, and flat logical forms. The candidate answers, in turn, are ext...

برچسب‌زنی خودکار نقش‌های معنایی در جملات فارسی به کمک درخت‌های وابستگی

Automatic identification of words with semantic roles (such as Agent, Patient, Source, etc.) in sentences and attaching correct semantic roles to them, may lead to improvement in many natural language processing tasks including information extraction, question answering, text summarization and machine translation. Semantic role labeling systems usually take advantage of syntactic parsing and th...

Boosting Passage Retrieval through Reuse in Question Answering

Question Answering (QA) is an emerging important field in Information Retrieval. In a QA system the archive of previous questions asked from the system makes a collection full of useful factual nuggets. This paper makes an initial attempt to investigate the reuse of facts contained in the archive of previous questions to help and gain performance in answering future related factoid questions. I...

Question Answering Using Enhanced Lexical Semantic Models

In this paper, we study the answer sentence selection problem for question answering. Unlike previous work, which primarily leverages syntactic analysis through dependency tree matching, we focus on improving the performance using models of lexical semantic resources. Experiments show that our systems can be consistently and significantly improved with rich lexical semantic information, regardl...

Mapping Semantic Information from FrameNet onto VALLEX

1. Information on syntactic and semantic properties of verbs, which are traditionally considered as a center of sentence, plays a key role in many rule-based NLP tasks as information retrieval, text summarizing, question answering, machine translation, etc. Lexical resources providing such information are designed, however, within different theoretical frameworks whose theoretical assumptions a...
