Towards an Automatic Validation of Answers in Question Answering

Question answering (QA) aims at retrieving precise in- formation from a large collection of documents. Different techniques can be used to find relevant information, and to compare these techniques, it is important to evaluate QA systems. The objective of an Answer Validation task is thus to judge the correctness of an answer returned by a QA sys- tem for a question, according to the text snippet given to support it. We participated in such a task in 2006. In this article, we present our strategy for deciding if the snippets justify the answers: a strategy based on our own QA system, comparing the answers it returned with the answer to judge. We discuss our results, then we point out the difficulties of this task.
