Natural Language Processing, Question Answering (QA) Systems, Ontological resourcesAbstract
As the amount of information in the world is growing very quickly, in the case of the semantic web this increasing amount of information is becoming more difficult to find and manage the exact answers to our various questions. To overcome these difficulties some systems have been developed that make it work for us. But there exists many challenges in developing these systems that require a lot of improvement. In this tutorial, we give a basic understanding of Semantic web, RDF triple, SPARQL query language. Here we will discuss the main obstacles for the QA system in processing the questions and a detailed survey of the existing systems. We also provide some advantages and disadvantages of existing QA systems. We also discuss the evaluation campaigns of the existing models based on their precision, recall and F-1 scores on the QALD dataset.
