Question Answering System: Retrieving Relevant Passages
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper discusses the QA system submitted by Dhirubhai Ambani Institute of Information and Communication Technology, India in the ResPubliQA 2010. We have participated in the monolingual en-en task. Our system retrieves a candidate paragraph that contains the answer to a natural language question. Depending on the n-gram similarity score of the candidate paragraph, a decision is made whether to answer the question or not. The objective of our participation is to test our implementation of various strategies like Query Expansion, n-gram similarity matching, and non-answering criteria.

Answer Extraction
Information retrieval systems have typically concentrated on retrieving a set of documents which are relevant to a user’s query. This paper describes a system that attempts to retrieve a much smaller section of text, namely, a direct answer to a user’s question. The SMART IR system is used to extract a ranked set of passages that are relevant to the query. Entities are extracted from these pass...

متن کاملSemantic Models for Question Answering
The research presented in this paper focuses on the adoption of semantic models for Question Answering (QA) systems. We propose a framework which exploits semantic technologies to analyze the question, retrieve and rank relevant passages. It exploits: (a) Natural Language Processing algorithms for the analysis of questions and candidate answers both in English and Italian; (b) Information Retri...
متن کاملQuestion Answering Passage Retrieval and Re-ranking Using N-grams and SVM
Over the last few decades, with the meteoric rise of Information Technology, Question Answering (QA) has attracted more attention and has been extremely explored. Indeed, several QA systems are based on a passage retrieval engine which aims to deliver a set of passages that are most likely to contain a relevant response to a question stated in natural language. In an attempt to enhance the perf...
متن کاملComparing Document Segmentation Strategies for Passage Retrieval in Question Answering
Information retrieval (IR) techniques are used in question answering (QA) to retrieve passages from large document collections which are relevant to answering given natural language questions. In this paper we investigate the impact of document segmentation approaches on the retrieval performance of the IR component in our Dutch QA system. In particular we compare segmentations into discourse-b...
