IBQAst: A Question Answering System for Text Transcriptions

  • Conference paper
Evaluating Systems for Multilingual and Multimodal Information Access (CLEF 2008)

Abstract

This paper shows the results of adapting a modular domain English QA system (called IBQAS, whose initials correspond to Interchangeable Blocks Question Answering System) to work with both manual and automatic text transcriptions. This system provides a generic and modular framework using an approach based on the recognition of named entities as a method of extracting answers.

This paper has been partially supported by the Spanish government, project TIN-2006-15265-C06-01 and project GV06028, and by the framework of the project QALL-ME, which is a 6th Framework Research Programme of the European Union (EU), contract number: FP6-IST-033860 and by the Spanish Government through the research grant AP2007-03072.
