Abstract
This paper describes the TALP-QA system in the context of the CLEF 2005 Spanish Monolingual Question Answering (QA) evaluation task. TALP-QA is a multilingual open-domain QA system that processes both factoid (normal and temporally restricted) and definition questions. The approach to factoid questions is based on in-depth NLP tools and resources to create semantic information representation. Answers to definition questions are selected from the phrases that match a pattern from a manually constructed set of definitional patterns.
