چکیده
This paper describes the architecture, operation and results obtained with the Question Answering prototype for Spanish developed in the Department of Language Processing and Information Systems at the University of Alicante for CLEF-2004 Spanish monolingual QA evaluation task. Our system is based on the prototype developed for CLEF-2003 Spanish monolingual task [3]. This system has been enhanced mainly to use documents in di erent languages to obtain evidences for supporting and complementing CLEF Spanish corpora. Particularly, the experiments described are intended to study how to use English Web documents to support monolingual Spanish QA.
