Amrita-CEN@MSIR-FIRE2016: Code-Mixed Question Classification using BoWs and RNN Embeddings

M. Anand Kumar, Soman K. P
2016 Forum for Information Retrieval Evaluation  
Question classification is a key task in many question answering applications. Nearly all previous work on question classification has used machine learning and knowledge-based methods. This working note presents an embedding based Bag-of-Words method and Recurrent Neural Network to achieve an automatic question classification in the code-mixed Bengali-English text. We build two systems that classify questions mostly at the sentence level. We used a recurrent neural network for extracting
