Abstract

In this paper, we propose a hybrid method for the recognition of answer types in the WiseQA system. The answer types are classified into two categories: the lexical answer type (LAT) and the semantic answer type (SAT). This paper proposes two models for the LAT detection. One is a rule-based model using question focuses. The other is a machine learning model based on sequence labeling. We also propose two models for the SAT classification. They are a machine learning model based on multiclass classification and a filtering-rule model based on the lexical answer type. The performance of the LAT detection and the SAT classification shows F1-score of 82.47% and precision of 77.13%, respectively. Compared with IBM Watson for the performance of the LAT, the precision is 1.0% lower and the recall is 7.4% higher.
