A novel question answering system for albanian language

Abstract

The volume of unstructured data is constantly growing, drawing the attention of the research community toward Natural Language Processing tasks. Recent advances in Information Extraction have led to the implementation of different systems and tools for Question Answering. These approaches are mainly language dependent as they need information about the language structure and syntax to perform well. This paper proposes an approach to extracting answers of factoid questions for a given text in Albanian Language. As far as we know, this is the first attempt of a Question Answering system for Albanian language. Experiments show that this is an effective solution for single domain documents.
