Enhanced Interactive Question-Answering With Conditional Random Fields
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes a new methodology for enhancing the quality and relevance of suggestions provided to users of interactive Q/A systems. We show that by using Conditional Random Fields to combine relevance feedback gathered from users along with information derived from discourse structure and coherence, we can accurately identify irrelevant suggestions with nearly 90% F-measure.

Extracting Template for Knowledge-based Question- Answering Using Conditional Random Fields
In this paper, we present an information extraction system that extracts template elements for a question-answering (QA) system in the domain of encyclopedia. We use Conditional Random Fields to extract templates from the texts of an encyclopedia. Using the proposed approach, we could achieve a 74.89% precision and a 55.77% F1 in the template extraction. In the question classification, we could...
متن کاملSpoken question answering using tree-structured conditional random fields and two-layer random walk
In this paper, we consider a spoken question answering (QA) task, in which the questions are in form of speech, while the knowledge source for answers are the webpages (in text) over the Internet to be accessed by an information retrieval engine, and we mainly focus on query formulation and re-ranking part. Because the recognition results for the spoken questions are less reliable, we use N-bes...
متن کاملFine-Grained Named Entity Recognition Using Conditional Random Fields for Question Answering
In many QA systems, fine-grained named entities are extracted by coarse-grained named entity recognizer and fine-grained named entity dictionary. In this paper, we describe a fine-grained Named Entity Recognition using Conditional Random Fields (CRFs) for question answering. We used CRFs to detect boundary of named entities and Maximum Entropy (ME) to classify named entity classes. Using the pr...
متن کاملChunking-based Question Type Identification for Multi-Sentence Queries
This paper describes a technique of question type identification for multi-sentence queries in open domain question-answering. Based on observations of queries in real question-answering services on the Web, we propose a method to decompose a multi-sentence query into question items and to identify their question types. The proposed method is an efficient sentence-chunking based technique by us...
متن کاملClassifying What-Type Questions by Head Noun Tagging
Classifying what-type questions into proper semantic categories is found more challenging than classifying other types in question answering systems. In this paper, we propose to classify what-type questions by head noun tagging. The approach highlights the role of head nouns as the category discriminator of whattype questions. To reduce the semantic ambiguities of head noun, we integrate local...
