| Research Abstract |
The purpose of this research is establishment of the method for "content"-based information retrieval. In our research, the "content" is regarded as the combination of the following items : a) Logical structure of document annotated by tags, b) Text, and c) Information extracted by the technology of Information Extraction.
Through the two year research, we obtained the following results :
1. Extraction of structure of intra-documents based on similarity among passages :
By using not only intra-document information but also inter-document information, we improve the effectiveness of retrieving relevant portions of document.
2. Multi-strategic named entity recognizer based on machine learning and extraction patterns :
By combining those two types of strategies for named entity task, we improve the accuracy of recognition of named entities.
3. Extraction of numerical information and its application to Question Answering :
We consider "Question Answering" is the one of the ideal context retrieval system. Named entities correspond to the answer for the 4W-type questions. On the other hand, it is numerical expressions what corresponds to H-type questions. Therefore, we proposed a method to extract numerical expressions with its context as a part of a QA system.
