AQuASys: A Question-Answering System For Arabic

摘要

In this paper, we present an Arabic Question-Answering system called AQuASys Arabic Question-Answering System. The proposed system is composed of three modules: A question analysis module, a sentence filtering module and an answer extraction module. The question analysis phase is crucial and plays an essential role in the answer finding phase. Unlike most of the existing Arabic Q-A, our system gives more attention to the question analysis in order to extract, from it, valuable and informative features. These features are decisive for the answer filtering process and consequently have a strong impact on answer finding accuracy performance. The answers relatedness scoring phase serves to find the most accurate answer. Our system attained scores and results are very encouraging. They are presented and discussed in the end of this paper.
