چکیده
This paper describes a multi-choice question answering system we designed for the NTCIR-12 QA Lab[3]. This system aims at analysing and answering world history multi-choice questions in the Japanese National Center Test (in English). Our system utilizes preliminary results from an information retrieval baseline as a starting point, and improves by taking structured knowledge base as well as additional time constraints into consideration. In the final evaluation, we achieved 34 points on the 2011 test dataset.
