| Abstract(in English) | We have proposed an answering system for NTCIR-12 QALab-2. The task was the Japanese task about National Center Test and Mock exams. The method, which was named as KitAi-QA, was based on a scoring method with contradiction detection. The scoring is to detect the evidence for the next process, namely answer selection, from textbooks. In this paper, we introduce new features into KitAi-QA for the improvement. The first feature is based on a summarization process. We compute some summarization costs, and then incorporate them into KitAi-QA. The second feature is an extension of the contradiction detection. In the experiment, the proposed method increased the accuracy. The result shows the effectiveness of our method. |
