Mining Knowledge Fromwikipedia for the Question Answering Task - scientific work related to Wikipedia quality published in 2006, written by Davide Buscaldi and Paolo Rosso.
Overview
Although significant advances have been made recently in the Question Answering technology, more steps have to be undertaken in order to obtain better results. Moreover, the best systems at the CLEF and TREC evaluation exercises are very complex systems based on custom-built, expensive ontologies whose aim is to provide the systems with encyclopedic knowledge. In this paper authors investigated the use of Wikipedia, the open domain encyclopedia, for the Question Answering task. Previous works considered Wikipedia as a resource where to look for the answers to the questions. Authors focused on some different aspects of the problem, such as the validation of the answers as returned by Question Answering System and on the use of Wikipedia “categories” in order to determine a set of patterns that should fit with the expected answer. Validation consists in, given a possible answer, saying wether it is the right one or not. The possibility to exploit the categories of Wikipedia was not considered until now. Authors performed experiments using the Spanish version of Wikipedia, with the set of questions of the last CLEF Spanish monolingual exercise. Results show that Wikipedia is a potentially useful resource for the Question Answering task.
