Cross Lingual QA: A Modular Baseline in CLEF 2003
نویسندگان
چکیده
We evaluate the feasibility of applying currently available research tools to the problem of cross lingual QA. We establish a task baseline by combining a cross lingual IR system with a monolingual QA system in a very short amount of time. A higher precision strategy involves applying the monolingual QA system to an automatically translated question, assumed to be correct. A higher coverage strategy consists of a term weighted proximity measure with varied query expansion, tuned for each individual question type.

متن کاملCross-Lingual Question Answering by Answer Translation
We approach cross-lingual question answering by using a mono-lingual QA system for the source language and by translating resulting answers into the target language. As far as we are aware, this is the first cross-lingual QA system in the history of CLEF that uses this method—all other cross-lingual QA systems known to us use translation of the question or query instead. We demonstrate the feas...
متن کاملAnswer Translation: An Alternative Approach to Cross-Lingual Question Answering
We approach cross-lingual question answering by using a mono-lingual QA system for the source language and by translating resulting answers into the target language. As far as we are aware, this is the first cross-lingual QA system in the history of CLEF that uses this method—almost without exception, cross-lingual QA systems use translation of the question or query terms instead. We demonstrat...
متن کاملExperiments on Robust NL Question Interpretation and Multi-layered Document Annotation for a Cross-Language Question/Answering-System
This report describes the work done by the QA group of the Language Technology Lab at DFKI, for the 2004 edition of the Cross-Language Evaluation Forum (CLEF). Based on the experience we obtained through our participation at QA@Clef-2003 with our initial cross-lingual QA prototype system BiQue (cf. [NS03]), the focus of the system extension for this year’s task was a) on robust NL question inte...
متن کاملCross-Lingual Romanian to English Question Answering at CLEF 2006
This paper describes the development of a Question Answering (QA) system and its evaluation results in the Romanian-English cross-lingual track organized as part of the CLEF 2006 campaign. The development stages of the cross-lingual Question Answering system are described incrementally throughout the paper, at the same time pinpointing the problems that occurred and the way they were addressed....
