SiteQ/J: A Question Answering System for Japanese

چکیده
This paper describes our Question Answering system participated in QAC Task1 of NTCIR3 and reports the results with some observations. Through analyzing the previous TREC QA data, we defined passage and developed passage selection method suitable for Question Answering. Using LexicoSemantic Patterns (LSP), we identify answer type of a question and detect answer candidates without any deep linguistic analysis of the texts. Answer candidates are ranked by passage scores and distances between answer candidates and matched terms. As a result of better engineering, our system showed excellent performance when evaluated by mean reciprocal rank (MRR) in NTCIR 3.

Toward the first attempt of evaluating Cross Lingual Question Answering in NTCIR workshop 5, our team participated in the English-Japanese subtasks of both directions (E-J and J-E tasks). Our approach to construct the CLQA systems of both directions is to use only a single (Japanese) QA system. Instead of CLIR systems, we also used statistical machine translation systems of both directions. For...
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...

Since the handling of Named Entities is...
متن کاملBoosting Passage Retrieval through Reuse in Question Answering
Question Answering (QA) is an emerging important field in Information Retrieval. In a QA system the archive of previous questions asked from the system makes a collection full of useful factual nuggets. This paper makes an initial attempt to investigate the reuse of facts contained in the archive of previous questions to help and gain performance in answering future related factoid questions. I...
