A Passage Retrieval System for Multilingual Question Answering
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we present a new Question Answering (QA) system based on redundancy and a new Passage Retrieval (PR) method oriented to QA. We suppose that in a large enough document collection we can find the answer to any question of several forms. Therefore, it is possible to find one or several sentences including the answers which contain part of the original questions. Next, we use Support Vector Machine (SVM) and Pattern Matching (PM) to identify the answer type and extract the answer respectively.

متن کاملTwo Approaches for Multilingual Question Answering: Merging Passages vs. Merging Answers
One major problem in multilingual Question Answering (QA) is the integration of information obtained from different languages into one single ranked list. This paper proposes two different architectures to overcome this problem. The first one performs the information merging at passage level, whereas the second does it at answer level. In both cases, we applied a set of traditional merging stra...
متن کاملLanguage Independent Passage Retrieval for Question Answering
Passage Retrieval (PR) is typically used as the first step in current Question Answering (QA) systems. Most methods are based on the vector space model allowing the finding of relevant passages for general user needs, but failing on selecting pertinent passages for specific user questions. This paper describes a simple PR method specially suited for the QA task. This method considers the struct...
