We introduce a probabilistic noisychannel model for question answering and we show how it can be exploited in the context of an end-to-end QA system. Our noisy-channel system outp...
Most question-answering systems contain a classifier module which determines a question category, based on which each question is assigned an answer type. However, setting up synt...
