Semantic passage segmentation based on sentence topics for question answering
2007
Information Sciences
Preserved Fulltext
We propose a semantic passage segmentation method for a Question Answering (QA) system. ...
We ran experiments to evaluate the proposed method and its impact on application tasks, passage retrieval and template-filling for question answering. ...
Conclusion We proposed a semantic passage segmentation method based on the notion of sentence topics to enhance the performance of our question answer system. ...

In this study, we propose a hybrid Question Answering (QA) system for Arabic language. The system combines textual and structured knowledge-Base (KB) data for question answering. ...
Text-to-KB uses web search results to identify question topic entities, map question words to KB predicates, and enhance the features of the candidates obtained from the KB. ...
In question classification, it analyzes the question semantically and identifies the answer type (Table 1 ) where the answer type is a label generated based on the semantic classification of the question ...
