This paper describes UAIC 1 ’s Question Answering systems participating in the ResPubliQA 2010 competition, designed to answer questions on a juridical corpora in Romanian, English and French monolingual tasks. Our systems adhere to the classical architecture of a Question Answering system, with an emphasis on simplicity and real time answers: only...
2009 marked UAIC’s fourth consecutive participation at the QA@CLEF competition, with continually improving results. This paper
describes UAIC’s QA systems participating in the Ro-Ro and En-En tasks. Both systems adhered to the classical QA architecture,
with an emphasis on simplicity and real time answers: only shallow parsing was used for question...
The present paper, maintaining the interest for applying Prague School’s Topic-Focus Articulation (TFA) algorithm to Romanian, takes the advantage of an experiment of investigating the intonational focus assignment to the Romanian sentence. Using two lines of research in a previous study, it has been showed that TFA behaves better than an inter-cla...
This paper briefly describes UAIC’s participation in this year’s CLEF question answering competition, focusing on the main
challenges and changes compared to our last year participation. An analysis of the errors introduced by each module is also
discussed.
We propose in this paper an implementation of the Prague School’s TFA (Topic-Focus Articulation) algorithm to support the
Romanian prosody design, relying on the experience with FDG (Functional Dependency Grammar) and SCD (Segmentation-Cohesion-Dependency) parsing strategies
for the classical, i.e. predication-driven, but Information Structure (IS)...
The aim of this paper is to investigate the syntactic/semantic substructures (called subgroups) of the Romanian Verbal Group (VG), or verbal complex, starting with the achievements in the literature, and melted into the device of direct and inverse functional projection within FX-bar theory. The paper examines several problems and their solutions f...
This paper describes the development of a Question Answering (QA) system and its evaluation results in the Romanian-English cross-lingual track or- ganized as part of the CLEF 1 2006 campaign. The development stages of the cross-lingual Question Answering system are described incrementally through- out the paper, at the same time pinpointing the pr...
2008 marked UAIC’s third consecutive participation at the QA@CLEF competition, with continually improving results. The most
significant change to our system with regards to the previous edition is the partial transition to a real-time QA system,
as a consequence of the simplification or elimination of the main time-consuming tasks such as linguisti...
Textual entailment recognition is the task of deciding, given two text fragments, whether the meaning of one text can be deduced from the other. This year, at our third participation in the RTE competition, we improved the system built for the RTE4 competition. Main Task: The main idea of our system is to map every word in the hypothesis to one or...
