Formalized Answer Extraction Based on Pattern Learning and Confidence Estimation
This paper presents a method of formalized answer extraction based on pattern learning.Our method extracts answers directly by matching the question patterns and the answer patterns automatically
which is different from the other traditional feature-based ones.The method gains formalized patterns automatically by using a machine learning strategy.Therefore
huge work load and low coverage of manually methods are avoided.Creatively
we apply logistic regression to estimate the confidence of the learned patterns.The contrast experiments give our method encouraging results
and it achieves fair and objective test in TREC QA track
the result of which shows that the method is a supplementary to the traditional feature based answer-extracting approaches.
