On Design of a Question-Answering Interface for Hindi in a Restricted Domain
نویسندگان
چکیده
The paper presents a schema for developing natural language interface for question-answering in Hindi in a specific domain and discusses issues involved therein. The system performs a shallow syntactic and semantic analysis of the input system. After identifying certain keywords in the query, the system triggers a reasoning process to determine the type of query and the answer slots that are required for reply generation. The reply generation is in the form of slot-fillings as identified through the reasoning process and by triggering information retrieval from the domain database. We outline strategy for incorporating inter-query contexts and for generating back-query to the user.

Where are the ‘Killer Applications’ of Restricted Domain Question Answering?
From a language technologist’s point of view, the penetration of natural language interfaces onto today’s web is somewhat disappointing; it seems that information retrieval, forms based, metaphor-based and hyper-link interfaces dominate all points of the design space. While open domain question answering promises to rival or extend information retrieval systems, restricted domain question answe...
متن کاملInvestigating Embedded Question Reuse in Question Answering
The investigation presented in this paper is a novel method in question answering (QA) that enables a QA system to gain performance through reuse of information in the answer to one question to answer another related question. Our analysis shows that a pair of question in a general open domain QA can have embedding relation through their mentions of noun phrase expressions. We present methods f...

Given source text in several languages, can one answer queries in some other language, without translating any of the sources into the language of the questioner? In this paper we try to address this question as we report our work on a restricted domain, multilingual Question – Answering system, with current implementations for source text in English and questions posed in English and Hindi. Th...
متن کاملHyperstability of some functional equation on restricted domain: direct and fixed point methods
The study of stability problems of functional equations was motivated by a question of S.M. Ulam asked in 1940. The first result giving answer to this question is due to D.H. Hyers. Subsequently, his result was extended and generalized in several ways.We prove some hyperstability results for the equation g(ax+by)+g(cx+dy)=Ag(x)+Bg(y)on restricted domain. Namely, we show, under some weak natural...
متن کاملUsing lexical and Dependency Features to Disambiguate Discourse Connectives in Hindi
Discourse parsing is a challenging task in NLP and plays a crucial role in discourse analysis. To enable discourse analysis for Hindi, Hindi Discourse Relations Bank was created on a subset of Hindi TreeBank. The benefits of a discourse analyzer in automated discourse analysis, question summarization and question answering domains has motivated us to begin work on a discourse analyzer for Hindi...
