A Community-Based Vietnamese Question Answering System

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Advances in Intelligent Systems and Computing ((AISC,volume 326))

Abstract

Most recent Vietnamese QA systems have not considered so far in using the data crawled from the community web services as a useful resource. In this paper, we take into accounts the community-based resource to build a Vietnamese question answering system named VnCQAs. Our system comprises of three modules for building the database of question-answer pairs, analyzing questions and choosing the best answer respectively. Experimental results show that our system achieves promising performances.
