Passage Retrieval (PR) is typically used as the first step in current Question Answering (QA) systems. Most methods are based on the vector space model allowing the finding of relevant passages for general user needs, but failing on selecting pertinent passages for specific user questions. This paper describes a simple PR method specially suited for the QA task. This method considers the structure of the question, favoring the passages that contain the longer n-gram structures from the question. Experimental results of this method on Spanish, French and Italian show that this approach can be useful for multilingual question answering systems. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2005.
