We proposed the usage of dependency tree information to increase the accuracy of Indonesian factoid question answering. We employed MSTParser and Universal Dependency corpus to build the Indonesian dependency parser. The dependency tree information as the result of the Indonesian dependency parse is used in the answer finder component of Indonesian factoid question answering system. Here, we used dependency tree information in two ways: 1) as one of the features in machine learning based answer finder (classifying each term in the retrieved passage as part of a correct answer or not); 2) as an additional heuristic rule after conducting the machine learning technique. For the machine learning technique, we combined word based calculation, phrase based calculation and similarity dependency relation based calculation as the complete features. Using 203 data, we were able to enhance the accuracy for the Indonesian factoid QA system compared to related work by only using the phrase information. The best accuracy was 84.34% for the correct answer classification and the best MRR was 0.954.

AbstractThis paper describes a question answering framework that can answer student questions given in natural language. We suggest a methodology that makes use of reliable resources only, provides the answer in the form of a multi-document summary for both factoid and open-ended questions, and produces an answer also from foreign resources by translating into the native language. The resources are compiled using a question database in the selected domains based on reliability and coverage metrics. A question is parsed using a dependency parser, important parts are extracted by rule-based and statistical methods, the question is converted into a representation, and a query is built. Documents relevant to the query are retrieved from the set of resources. The documents are summarized and the answers to the question together with other relevant information about the topic of the question are shown to the user. A summary answer from the foreign resources is also built by the translation of the input question and the retrieved documents. The proposed approach was applied to the Turkish language and it was tested with several experiments and a pilot study. The experiments have shown that the summaries returned include the answer for about 50–60 percent of the questions. The data bank built for factoid and open-ended questions in the two domains covered is made publicly available.

Community-based question answering (CQA) is formed to help people who search information that they need through a community. One condition that may occurs in CQA is when people cannot obtain the information that they need, thus they will post a new question. This condition can cause CQA archive increased because of duplicated questions. Therefore, it becomes important problems to find semantically similar questions from CQA archive towards a new question. In this study, we use convolutional neural network methods for semantic modeling of sentence to obtain words that they represent the content of documents and new question. The result for the process of finding the same question semantically to a new question (query) from the question-answer documents archive using the convolutional neural network method, obtained the mean average precision value is 0,422. Whereas by using vector space model, as a comparison, obtained mean average precision value is 0,282.
