2020 Fiscal Year Annual Research Report

Novel Technologies for Improving Comprehension and Utilization of Historical Knowledge

Research Project

Project/Area Number 17H01828
Research InstitutionKyoto University

Principal Investigator

Project Period (FY) 2017-04-01 – 2021-03-31
Keywordsdigital archives / computational history / temporal information / question answering
Outline of Annual Research Achievements

We developed effective method for answering questions in long-term news archives. For any arbitrary question about the past, our method provides often a correct answer. This is a novel kind of question answering where temporal information needs to be carefully considered. We have constructed a dataset of multiple answers and their questions for this research which is open. We have also published a full paper at ECIR2020 (core A) and journal paper at IRJ (IF 2.2). The ECIR paper was nominated for industry impact award paper at ECIR2020.
We have also completed the research on retrieval of interesting information from the long-term archives that appeared in ECIR2021 conference as a full paper.
Lastly, the novel research on multiple timeline summarization has been also completed with proposed model having good results.
