1 Priberam Informática Av. Defensores de Chaves, 32 3º Esq Lisboa, Portugal Tel.: / Fax: Summary Priberam s question answering system for Portuguese Carlos Amaral, Helena Figueira, André Martins, Afonso Mendes, Pedro Mendes, Cláudia Pinto Introduction A workbench for NLP Lexical resources Software tools Question categorization System description Indexing process Question analysis Document retrieval Sentence retrieval Answer extraction Evaluation & Results Conclusions CLEF Workshop, Vienna, of September, Introduction Lexical resources Goal: to build a question answering (QA) engine that finds a unique exact answer for NL questions. Evaluation: QA@CLEF Portuguese monolingual task. Previous work by Priberam on this subject: LegiX a juridical information system SintaGest a workbench for NLP TRUST project (Text Retrieval Using Semantics Technology) development of the Portuguese module in a cross-language environment. Lexicon: Lemmas, inflections and POS; Sense definitions (*); Semantic features, subcategorization and selection restrictions; Ontological and terminological domains; English and French equivalents (*); Lexical-semantic relations (e.g. derivations). (*) Not used in the QA system. Thesaurus Ontology: Multilingual (**) (English, French, Portuguese) enables translations; Designed by Synapse Développement for TRUST (**) Only Portuguese information is used in the QA system. 3 4
2 Software tools Question categorization (I) Priberam s SintaGest a NLP application that allows: Building & testing a context-free grammar (CFG); Building & testing contextual rules for: Morphological disambiguation; Named entity & fixed expressions recognition; Building & testing patterns for question categorization/answer extraction; Compressing & compiling all data into binary files. Statistical POS tagger: Used together w/ contextual rules for morphological disambiguation; HMM-based (2nd order), trained with the CETEMPublico corpus; Fast & efficient performance => Viterbi algorithm. 86 question categories, flat structure <DENOMINATION>, <DATE OF EVENT>, <TOWN NAME>, <BIRTH DATE>, <FUNCTION>, Categorization: performed through rich patterns (more powerful than regular expressions) More than one category is allowed (avoiding hard decisions); Rich patterns are conditional expressions w/ words (Word), lemmas (Root), POS (Cat), ontology entries (Ont), question identifiers (QuestIdent), and constant phrases; Everything built & tested through SintaGest. 5 6 Question categorization (II) QA system overview There are 3 kinds of patterns: Question patterns (QPs): for question categorization. Answer patterns (APs): for sentence categorization (during indexation). Question answering patterns (QAPs): for answer extraction. Heuristic scores The system architecture is composed by 5 major modules: QPs QAPs APs Question (FUNCTION) : Word(quem) Distance(0,3) Root(ser) AnyCat(Nprop, ENT) = 15 // e.g. Quem é Jorge Sampaio? : Word(que) QuestIdent(FUNCTION_N) Distance(0,3) QuestIdent(FUNCTION_V) = 15 // e.g. Que cargo desempenha Jorge Sampaio? Answer : Pivot & AnyCat (Nprop, ENT) Root(ser) {Definition With Ergonym?} = 20 // e.g. Jorge Sampaio é o {Presidente da República}... : {NounPhrase With Ergonym?} AnyCat (Trav, Vg) Pivot & AnyCat (Nprop, ENT) = 15 // e.g. O {presidente da República}, Jorge Sampaio... ; Answer (FUNCTION) : QuestIdent(FUNCTION_N) = 10 : Ergonym = 10 ; 7 8
3 Indexing process Question analysis The collection of target documents is analysed (off-line) and information is stored in a index database. Each document first feeds the sentence analyser; Sentence categorization: each sentence is classified with one or more question categories through the APs. We build indices for: Lemmas Heads of derivation NEs and fixed expressions Question categories Ontology domains (at document level) 9 A NL question (e.g. Quem é o presidente da Albânia? ) Sentence analysis Question categorization & activation of QAPs (through the QPs) Extraction of pivots (words, NEs, phrases, dates, abbreviations, ) Query expansion (heads of derivation & synonyms) Pivots lemmas, heads & synonyms (e.g. presidente, Albânia, presidir, albanês, chefe de estado) Question categories (e.g. <FUNCTION>, <DENOMINATION>) Relevant ontological domains Active QAPs 10 Document retrieval Sentence retrieval Pivots lemmas (w Li ), heads (w Hi ) & synonyms (w S ij ) Question categories (c k ) & ontological domains (o l ) Word weighting "(w) according to: POS; ilf (inv. lexical freq.); idf (inv. docum. freq.). Each document d is given a score! d : The top 30 scored documents.! d := 0 For Each pivot i If d contains lemma w i L Then! d += K L "(w i L ) Else If d contains head w i H Then! d += K H "(w i H ) Else If d contains any synonym w ij S Then! d += max j (K S # (w ij S, w i L ) "(w ij S )) If d contains any question category c k Then! d += K C If d contains any ontology domain o l Then! d += K O! d := RewardPivotProximity(d,! d ) 11 Scored documents {(d,! d )} w/ relevant sentences marked. Sentence analysis Sentence scoring Each sentence s is given a score! s according to: # pivots lemmas, heads & synonyms matching s; # partial matches: Fidel! Fidel Castro; Order & proximity of pivots in s; Existence of common question categories between q and s; Score! d of document d containing s. Scored sentences {(s,! s )} above a fixed threshold. 12
4 Answer extraction Results & evaluation (I) Scored sentences {(s,! s )} Active QAPs (from the Question Analysis module) Answer extraction & scoring through the QAPs Answer coherence Each answer a is rescored to! a taking into account its coherence to the whole collection of candidate answers (e.g., Sali Berisha, Ramiz Alia, Berisha ) Selection of the final answer. QA@CLEF evaluation: Portuguese monolingual task target documents (~564 Mb) from Portuguese & Brazilian newspaper corpora: Público1994, Público1995, Folha1994, Folha1995 Test set of 200 questions (in Brazilian and European Portuguese). Results 64,5% of right answers (R): e.g. O Presidente da Albânia, Sali Berisha, tentou evitar o pior, afirmando que não está provado que o Governo grego esteja envolvido no ataque. The answer a with highest! a or NIL if none answer was extracted Results & evaluation (II) Conclusions Reasons for bad answers (W+X+U): Priberam s QA system exhibited encouraging results: 16,5% 8,0% 6,5% 4,5% Extraction of candidate answers NIL validation Choice of the final answer Document retrieval Como se chama a Organização para a Alimentação e Agricultura das Nações Unidas? Que partido foi fundado por Andrei Brejnev? O que é a Sabena? Diga o nome de um assassino em série americano. Overextraction: (...) que viria a estar na origem da FAO (a Organização para a Alimentação e a Agricultura das Nações Unidas) Should return NIL 1st answer: No caso da Sabena, a Swissair ( ) terá de pronunciar-se. 2nd answer: (...) o acordo de união entre a companhia aérea belga Sabena The right document was missed. No match between americano and EUA in (...) John Wayne Gacy, maior assassino em série da história dos EUA ( ) 15 State-of-the-art accuracy (64.5%) in QA@CLEF evaluation Possible advantages over other systems: Adjustable & powerful patterns for categorization & extraction (SintaGest) Query expansion through heads of derivation & synonyms Use of ontology to introduce semantic knowledge Some future work: Confidence measure for final answer validation Handling of list-, how-, & temporally-restricted questions Semantic disambiguation & further exploiting of the ontology Syntactical parsing & anaphora resolution Refinement for Web & book searching 16
