Abstract

We present in this paper the three LIMSI question-answering systems on speech transcripts which participated to the QAst 2009 evaluation. These systems are based on a complete and multi-level analysis of both queries and documents. These systems use an automatically generated research descriptor. A score based on those descriptors is used to select documents and snippets. Three different methods are tried to extract and score candidate answers, and we present in particular a tree transformation based ranking method. We participated to all the tasks and submitted 30 runs (for 24 sub-tasks). The evaluation results for manual transcripts range from 27% to 36% for accuracy depending on the task and from 20% to 29% for automatic transcripts. © 2010 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
