ACM Search with the Keywords "question answering context"

I am currently looking through the ACM database of papers. The following papers were found with the keywords "question answering context"



  1. Are open-domain question answering technologies useful for information access dialogues?---an empirical study and a proposal of a novel challenge 2005
    Tsuneaki Kato, Jun'ichi Fukumoto, Fumito Masui, Noriko Kando
  2. IR-7 (information retrieval): natural language processing for IR: Unsupervised question answering data acquisition from local corpora 2004
    Lucian Vlad Lita, Jaime Carbonell
  3. Performance issues and error analysis in an open-domain question answering system 2003
    Dan Moldovan, Marius Pas,ca, Sanda Harabagiu, Mihai Surdeanu
    This paper looks particularly interesting because it presents an analysis of a sophisticated question answering system.
  4. The use of metadata, web-derived answer patterns and passage context to improve reading comprehension performance 2005
    Yongping Du, Helen Meng, Xuanjing Huang, Lide Wu
    This paper looks particularly interesting because it attempts to understand a document in order to answer a question.
  5. Answering clinical questions with role identification 2003
    Yun Niu, Graeme Hirst, Gregory McArthur, Patricia Rodriguez-Gianolli
    This paper looks particularly interesting because it takes into account semantics and the roles of users.
  6. Posters: Context-based question-answering evaluation 2004
    Elizabeth D. Liddy, Anne R. Diekema, Ozgur Yilmazel
  7. World Wide Web: Mining the web for answers to natural language questions 2001
    Dragomir R. Radev, Hong Qi, Zhiping Zheng, Sasha Blair-Goldensohn, Zhu Zhang, Weiguo Fan, John Prager
  8. Paper session IR-2 (information retrieval): question answering: Retrieving answers from frequently asked questions pages on the web 2005
    Valentin Jijkoun, Maarten de Rijke
  9. Session 3: Document retrieval for question answering: a quantitative evaluation of text preprocessing 2007
    Gracinda Carvalho, David Martins de Matos, Vitor Rocio

I noticed that this list is quite horrible to look at and that comments I added to items in the list were difficult to see so I repeated them below.


The paper "Performance issues and error analysis in an open-domain question answering system" looks particularly interesting because it presents an analysis of a sophisticated question answering system.


The paper "The use of metadata, web-derived answer patterns and passage context to improve reading comprehension performance" looks particularly interesting because it attempts to understand a document in order to answer a question


The paper "Answering clinical questions with role identification" looks particularly interesting because it takes into account semantics and the roles of users.


There were about 200 results.


Another good group of keywords might be "question answering semantics." I am unsure whether the search engine at ACM takes into account different forms of the same word.
