Abstract
This paper describes the architecture, operation and results obtained with the Question Answering prototype for Spanish developed in the Department of Language Processing and Information Systems at the University of Alicante for the CLEF-2004 Spanish monolingual QA evaluation task. Our system is based on the prototype developed for the CLEF-2003 Spanish monolingual task [3]. This system has been enhanced with capabilities regarding the use of documents in different languages to obtain evidence for supporting and complementing the CLEF Spanish corpora. In particular, the experiments described are intended to study how to use English Web documents to support monolingual Spanish QA.
