  • Answer Determination for Natural Language Questioning
    Publication number: 20150052113
    Abstract: Open-domain question answering is the task of finding a concise answer to a natural language question using a large domain, such as the Internet. The use of a semantic role labeling approach to the extraction of the answers to an open domain factoid (Who/When/What/Where) natural language question that contains a predicate is described. Semantic role labeling identities predicates and semantic argument phrases in the natural language question and the candidate sentences. When searching for an answer to a natural language question, the missing argument in the question is matched using semantic parses of the candidate answers. Such a technique may improve the accuracy of a question answering system and may decrease the length of answers for enabling voice interface to a question answering system.
