Abstract. In this paper the methodology followed to build a questionanswering system for the Portuguese language is described. The system modules are built using computational ling...
Question answering (QA) systems aim at retrieving precise information from a large collection of documents. To be considered as reliable by users, a QA system must provide element...
The paper considers the consensus problem in a partially synchronous system with Byzantine faults. It turns out that, in the partially synchronous system, all deterministic algorit...
This paper describes the use of machine learning to improve the performance of natural language question answering systems. We present a model for improving story comprehension th...
Question classification (QC) plays a key role in automated question answering (QA) systems. In Chinese QC, for example, a question is analyzed and then labeled with the question ty...
