This paper reports our efforts on developing a language modeling approach to passage question answering. In particular, we address the following two problems: (i) generalized lang...
We describe our approach in constructing question answering systems, which involves natural language parsing enhanced with named entity extraction and part-of-speech tagging. Perf...
This paper presents our experiments in applying semantic information to improve the precision of the information retrieval module in a closed-domain question-answering system. Tha...
Abstract. This paper describes an approach for the integration of linguistic information in passage retrieval in an open-source question answering system for Dutch. Annotation prod...
In this paper, we discuss a novel technique based on semantic constraints to improve the performance and portability of a reformulation-based question answering system. First, we ...
