We introduce a method for learning query transformations that improves the ability to retrieve answers to questions from an information retrieval system. During the training stage...
A distributed system for approximate query answering on sensor network data is proposed, where a suitable compression technique is exploited to represent data and support query an...
Each year NIST releases a set of question, document id, answer-triples for the factoid questions used in the TREC Question Answering track. While this resource is widely used and ...
This paper describes a method for definition question answering based on the use of surface text patterns. The method is specially suited to answer questions about person's po...
