IIITH at BioASQ Challange 2015 Task 3b: Bio-Medical Question Answering System
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we describe our participation in the 2015 BioASQ challenge on Bio-Medical Question Answering. For Question Answering task (Task 3b), teams were provided with natural language questions and asked to retrieve responses from PubMed corpus in the form of documents, snippets, concepts and RDF triplets (Phase A) and direct answers (Phase B). For Phase A, we took the support of PubMed search engine and our snippet extraction technique. In our QA system, apart from the standard techniques discussed in literature, we tried the following novel techniques to a) leverage web search results for improving question processing and b) identify domain words and define a new answer ranking function based on number of common domain words. We scored an F-measure of 0.193 for document extraction and F-measure of 0.0717 in snippet generation.

The goal of the BioASQ challenge is to push research towards highly precise biomedical information access systems. We aim to promote systems and approaches that are able to deal with the whole diversity of the Web, especially for, but not restricted to, the context of biomedicine. The third challenge consisted of two tasks: semantic indexing and question answering. 59 systems by 18 different te...
متن کاملLearning to Answer Biomedical Questions: OAQA at BioASQ 4B
This paper describes the OAQA system evaluated in the BioASQ 4B Question Answering track. The system extends the Yang et al. (2015) system and integrates additional biomedical and generalpurpose NLP annotators, machine learning modules for search result scoring, collective answer reranking, and yes/no answer prediction. We first present the overall architecture of the system, and then focus on ...
