In this paper, we describe ideas and related experiments of Tsinghua University IR group in TREC 2004 QA track. In this track, our system consists three components: Question analy...
We present1 an evolutionary approach for the computation of exact answers to Natural Languages (NL) questions. Answers are extracted directly from the N
During the last few years, a lot of researches have focused on automatic definition extraction in the context of question answering systems. Although, these researches have been co...
In this paper, we explore correlation of dependency relation paths to rank candidate answers in answer extraction. Using the correlation measure, we compare dependency relations o...
One problem of data-driven answer extraction in open-domain factoid question answering is that the class distribution of labeled training data is fairly imbalanced. This imbalance...
