Answer Presentation in Question Answering over Linked Data using Typed Dependency Subtree Patterns

Rivindu Perera, Parma Nand


Abstract
In an era where highly accurate Question Answering (QA) systems are being built using complex Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Information Retrieval (IR) algorithms, presenting the acquired answer to the user akin to a human answer is also crucial. In this paper we present an answer presentation strategy by embedding the answer in a sentence which is developed by incorporating the linguistic structure of the source question extracted through typed dependency parsing. The evaluation using human participants proved that the methodology is human-competitive and can result in linguistically correct sentences for more that 70% of the test dataset acquired from QALD question dataset.
