Exploiting paraphrases in a question answering system

Rinaldi, Fabio; Dowdall, J; Kaljurand, K; Hess, M; Mollà Aliod, D (2003). Exploiting paraphrases in a question answering system. In: ACL-2003, Second International Workshop on Paraphrasing: Paraphrase Acquisition and Applications, Sapporo, Japan, July 2003, 25-32.

Abstract

We present a Question Answering system for technical domains which makes an intelligent use of paraphrases to increase the likelihood of finding the answer to the user's question. The system implements a simple and efficient logic representation of questions and answers that maps paraphrases to the same underlying semantic representation. Further, paraphrases of technical terminology are dealt with by a separate process that detects surface variants.
