  • Publication number: 20180011927
    Abstract: Provided is a natural language query answering method. The natural language query answering method includes generating a query axiom from an input query, generating answer candidates from the input query, filtering the answer candidates based on a similarity between the query axiom and the answer candidates, reasoning out the answer candidates by using at least one of an inductive reasoning method, a deductive reasoning method, and an abductive reasoning method, calculating reliability of the answer candidates, determining ranks of the answer candidates based on the calculated reliability, and comparing a threshold value with a reliability ratio of reliability of an answer candidate determined as No. 1 rank to reliability of an answer candidate determined as No. 2 rank, readjusting the determined ranks according to a result of the comparison, and detecting a No. 1 rank answer candidate, determined through the readjustment, as a final answer.
