A Knowledge-Based Sense Disambiguation Method to Semantically Enhanced NL Question for Restricted Domain
Within the space of question answering (QA) systems, the most critical module to improve overall performance is question analysis processing. Extracting the lexical semantic of a Natural Language (NL) question presents challenges at syntactic and semantic levels for most QA systems. This is due to t...
