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...
The ability to answer prediction questions is crucial to reasoning about physical systems. A prediction question poses a hypothetical scenario and asks for the resulting behavior ...
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...
