abstract |
As semantic markup becomes ubiquitous, it will become important to be able to ask
queries and obtain answers, using natural language (NL) expressions, rather than the
keyword-based retrieval mechanisms used by the current search engines. AquaLog is
a portable question-answering system which takes queries expressed in natural language
and an ontology as input and returns answers drawn from the available semantic markup.
We say that AquaLog is portable, because the configuration time required to customize
the system for a particular ontology is negligible. AquaLog combines several powerful
techniques in a novel way to make sense of NL queries and to map them to semantic
markup. Moreover it also includes a learning component, which ensures that the performance
of the system improves over time, in response to the particular community jargon used
by the end users. In this paper we describe the current version of the system, in
particular discussing its portability, its reasoning capabilities, and its learning
mechanism. |
