The TREC 2006 question answering (QA) track contained two tasks: the main task and the complex, interactive question answering (ciQA) task. ...
As in 2005, the main task consisted of series of factoid, list, and "Other" questions organized around a set of targets; in contrast to previous years, the evaluation of factoid and list responses distinguished ...
Factoid questions The system response to a factoid question was either exactly one [doc-id, answer-string] pair or the literal string 'NIL'. ...

In this paper, we present a neural network based framework for answering non-factoid questions. The framework consists of two main components: Answer Retriever and Answer Ranker. ...
In the first component, we leverage off-the-shelf retrieval models (e.g. bm25) to retrieve a pool of candidate answers regarding to the input question. ...

These two systems are each other's opposites in many respects: IMIX is multimodal, non-factoid, black-box QA, while Ritel is speech, factoid, keyword-based QA. ...
We shall look at how the systems are composed, and how real, non-expert, users interact with the systems. ...
Nevertheless, the goal is meaningful in the factoid context, as the subset of factoid answers in the IMIX experiments did elicit as many discourse questions as did non-factoid answers. ...
