Abstract

A Question answering (QA) system aims to pull exact and precise answer for Natural Language (NL) question. To extract answer from the text corpus or knowledge base, the QA system has to understand exactly what the question is. Ambiguity may arise when NL question contains modifier term which needs to compare and evaluate its semantic dimension. Therefore, a strategy for an evaluation metrics of the associated modifier term is proposed in this paper. The identified metrics may make possible to regulate using user modeling (UM) and relevance feedback (RF) mechanisms. The performance of the proposed model is evaluated by using the standard information retrieval measurement on the Geoquery datasets.
