Statistical source expansion for question answering
2011
Proceedings of the 20th ACM international conference on Information and knowledge management - CIKM '11
Preserved Fulltext
A source expansion algorithm automatically extends a given text corpus with related information from large, unstructured sources. ...
While the expanded corpus is not intended for human consumption, it can be leveraged in question answering (QA) and other information retrieval or extraction tasks to find more relevant knowledge and to ...
Question Answering Tasks We evaluated our statistical source expansion approach on two question answering tasks: (1) factoid questions from annual QA evaluations conducted by the Text REtrieval Conference ...
