A Factoid Question Answering System for Vietnamese
In this paper, we describe the development of an end-to-end factoid question
answering system for the Vietnamese language. This system combines both
statistical models and ontology-based methods in a chain of processing modules
to provide high-quality mappings from natural language text to entities. We
present the challenges in the development of such an intelligent user interface
for an isolating language like Vietnamese and show that techniques developed
for inflectional languages cannot be applied "as is". Our question answering
system can answer a wide range of general knowledge questions with promising
accuracy on a test set.Comment: In the proceedings of the HQA'18 workshop, The Web Conference
