The Ephyra QA System at TREC 2006

چکیده
The Ephyra QA system has been developed as a flexible open-domain QA framework. This framework allows us to combine several techniques for question analysis and answer extraction and to incorporate multiple knowledge bases to best fit the requirements of the TREC QA track, in which we participated this year for the first time. The techniques used include pattern learning and matching, answer type analysis and redundancy elimination through filters. In this paper, we give an overview of the Ephyra system as used within TREC 2006 and analyze the system’s performance in the QA track.

متن کاملSemantic Extensions of the Ephyra QA System for TREC 2007
We describe recent extensions to the Ephyra question answering (QA) system and their evaluation in the TREC 2007 QA track. Existing syntactic answer extraction approaches for factoid and list questions have been complemented with a high-accuracy semantic approach that generates a semantic representation of the question and extracts answer candidates from similar semantic structures in the corpu...
متن کاملReconstructing DIOGENE: ITC-irst at TREC 2006
Our participation in the TREC 2006 QA task is the first step on the way of developing a new and improved DIOGENE system. The leading principles of this re-engineering activity are: i) to create a modular architecture, based on a pipeline of modules which share common I/O formats, open to the insertion/substitution of new components; ii) to allow for the capability of configuring the settings of...

متن کاملThe Affect of Machine Translation on the Performance of Arabic- English QA System
The aim of this paper is to investigate how much the effectiveness of a Question Answering (QA) system was affected by the performance of Machine Translation (MT) based question translation. Nearly 200 questions were selected from TREC QA tracks and ran through a question answering system. It was able to answer 42.6% of the questions correctly in a monolingual run. These questions were then tra...
