Title
The LIMSI Participation to the QAst Track.
Abstract
Résumé In this paper, we present the LIMSI question-answering systems on speech transcripts which participated to the QAst 2008 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 u sed to select documents and snippets. The extraction and scoring of candidate answers is based on proximity measurements within the research descriptor elements and a number of secondary factors. We participated to all the subtasks and submitted 18 runs (for 16 sub-tasks). The evaluation results for manual transcripts range from 31% to 45% for accuracy depending on the task and from 16 to 41% for automatic transcripts.
