The QuALiM Question Answering Demo: Supplementing Answers with Paragraphs drawn from Wikipedia
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper describes the online demo of the QuALiM Question Answering system. While the system actually gets answers from the web by querying major search engines, during presentation answers are supplemented with relevant passages from Wikipedia. We believe that this additional information improves a user’s search experience.

Evaluating Answer Extraction for Why-QA using RST-annotated Wikipedia texts
In this paper the research focus is on the task of answer extraction for why-questions. As opposed to techniques for factoid QA, finding answers to whyquestions involves exploiting text structure. Therefore, we approach the answer extraction problem as a discourse analysis task, using Rhetorical Structure Theory (RST) as framework. We evaluated this method using a set of why-questions that have...
متن کاملUsing Syntactic Features in Answer Reranking
This paper describes a baseline question answering system for Swedish. The system includes modules to carry out the question analysis, hypothesis generation, and reranking of answers. It was trained and evaluated on questions from a data set inspired by the Swedish television quiz show Kvitt eller Dubbelt. We used the Swedish Wikipedia as knowledge source and we show that paragraph retrieval fr...
متن کاملNamed Entity Disambiguation in a Question Answering System
In this paper, we describe how we use a named entity disambiguation module to merge entities in a question answering system. The question answering system uses a baseline passage retrieval component that extracts paragraphs from the Swedish version of Wikipedia. The passages are indexed and ranked using the Lucene platform. Prior to the indexing, we carried out a recognition and disambiguation ...
متن کاملReading Wikipedia to Answer Open-Domain Questions
This paper proposes to tackle opendomain question answering using Wikipedia as the unique knowledge source: the answer to any factoid question is a text span in a Wikipedia article. This task of machine reading at scale combines the challenges of document retrieval (finding the relevant articles) with that of machine comprehension of text (identifying the answer spans from those articles). Our ...
متن کاملQuestion Answering on Freebase via Relation Extraction and Textual Evidence
Existing knowledge-based question answering systems often rely on small annotated training data. While shallow methods like relation extraction are robust to data scarcity, they are less expressive than the deep meaning representation methods like semantic parsing, thereby failing at answering questions involving multiple constraints. Here we alleviate this problem by empowering a relation extr...
