ABSTRACT

This study aims to suggest an effective way to enhance question-answer(QA) document retrieval performance by reconstructing queries based on the structural features in the QA documents. QA documents are a structured document which consists of three components: question from a questioner, short description on the question, answers chosen by the questioner. The study proposes the methods to reconstruct a new query using by two major structural parts, question and answer, and examines which component of a QA document could contribute to improve query performance. The major finding in this study is that to use answer document set is the most effective for reconstructing a new query. That is, queries reconstructed based on terms appeared on the answer document set provide the most relevant search results with reducing redundancy of retrieved documents.
