Abstract
The simple techniques used in the Œdipe question answering system developed by the CEA-LIST/LIC2M did not perform well on definition questions in past CLEF-QA campaigns. We present in this article a new module for this QA system dedicated to this type of questions. This module is based on the automatic learning of lexico-syntactic patterns from examples. These patterns are then used for the extraction of short answers for definition questions. This technique has been experimented in the French monolingual track of the CLEF-QA 2006 evaluation, and results obtained have shown an improvement on this type of questions, compared to our previous participation. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2007.
