We then examine the effectiveness of current passage retrieval models in terms of finding passages that contain answers. ...
As the first stage of developing retrieval models for "answer passages", we describe the process of creating a test collection of questions and multiple-sentence answers based on the TREC GOV2 queries ...
PASSAGE RETRIEVAL METHODS FOR RETRIEVING ANSWERS To study the effectiveness of existing passage retrieval methods for finding answers, we investigated different language model-based models. ...

We show how they fit naturally into a probabilistic model for answer passage retrieval and demonstrate their effectiveness on the TREC 2002 QA Corpus. ...
We present here a simpler approach that extends the techniques of language modeling to create answer models. These are language models trained on the correct answers to training questions. ...
We are interested in measuring the performance of an answer passage retrieval system, not an answer extraction system. We standarized on passages with a maximum length of 250 bytes. ...

Open-domain question answering relies on efficient passage retrieval to select candidate contexts, where traditional sparse vector space models, such as TF-IDF or BM25, are the de facto method. ...
When evaluated on a wide range of open-domain QA datasets, our dense retriever outperforms a strong Lucene-BM25 system largely by 9%-19% absolute in terms of top-20 passage retrieval accuracy, and helps ...
If none of the top 100 retrieved passages has the answer, the question will be discarded. ...
