Abstract

This paper describes the main components of the system built by the DLT Group at Limerick for participation in the QA Task at CLEF. The document indexing we used was again sentence-by-sentence but this year the Lucene Engine was adopted. We also experimented with retrieval query expansion using Local Context Analysis. Results were broadly similar to last year.
