1 CLEF 2007 - Budapest1 Measuring the contribution of Word Sense Disambiguation for QA Proposers: UBC: Agirre, Lopez de Lacalle, Otegi, Rigau, FBK: Magnini UNED: Peñas UVA & Irion: Vossen Idea: Provide English documents and queries (LA94 GH95) with automatically annotated word senses (WordNet) Participants explore how the word senses (plus the semantic information in wordnets) can be used in QA

2 CLEF 2007 - Budapest2 Word senses can help QA We will provide state-of-the-art WSD tags All senses with confidence scores (error propag.) The participant can choose how to use it (e.g. nouns only) Also provide synonyms/translations for senses Once words have been disambiguated One can expand to synonyms and broader terms One can use the lexical-semantic relations in wordnets Passage filtering WSD can help improving the recall Answer ranking WSD can help focus semantic processing

3 CLEF 2007 - Budapest3 QA WSD exercise Add the WSD tagged collection/queries to the multilingual Q/A task Same topics LA94 GH95 (Not wikipedia) Just offer an additional resource in the main Q/A task One additional run to the multilingual Q/A task 2 runs, with and without WSD Relevant tasks: X2ENG and ENG2ENG (for QA WSD participants only) Extra resources needed: Relevance assessment of the additional runs

4 CLEF 2007 - Budapest4

5 5 QA WSD pilot exercise Details: Wikipedia won’t be disambiguated Only a subset of the main QA will be comparable In main QA, multiple answers are required In addition, to normal evaluation, evaluate first reply not coming from wikipedia

6 CLEF 2007 - Budapest6 WSD 4 AVE In addition to the word senses provide: Synonyms / translations for those senses Need to send two runs (one more than other part.): With and without WSD Tasks: X2ENG and ENG2ENG (control) Additional resources: Provide word sense tags to the snippets returned by QA results (automatic mapping to original doc. Collection)

7 CLEF 2007 - Budapest7 CLIR WSD pilot exercise Add the WSD tagged collection/topics as an additional “language” in the ad-hoc task Same topics Same document collection In addition to the word senses we provide: Synonyms / translations for those senses Need to send two runs (one more than other participants): With and without WSD Tasks: X2ENG and ENG2ENG (control) Extra resources needed: Relevance assessment of the additional runs
