A question answering system for project management applications
TL;DR: An emerging industry standard, ifcXML, is adopted as the knowledge representation format, thereby reducing the effort that is necessary to build a knowledge base and the mechanisms that use information in the knowledge base for question understanding are explored.

A literature review on question answering techniques, paradigms and systems
TL;DR: This study aims at identifying QA techniques, tools and systems, as well as the metrics and indicators used to measure these approaches for QA systems and also to determine how the relationship between Question Answering and natural language processing is built.

A Natural-Language-Based Approach to Intelligent Data Retrieval and Representation for Cloud BIM
TL;DR: An approach to intelligent data retrieval and representation for cloud BIM applications based on natural language processing was proposed and relationships between the user requirements and the data users concerned are established, and user‐concerned data can be automatically retrieved and aggregated based on the cloud for BIM.

- 15 May 1999
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a rigorous and complete textbook for a first course on information retrieval from the computer science (as opposed to a user-centred) perspective, which provides an up-to-date student oriented treatment of the subject.
Building a large annotated corpus of English: the penn treebank
TL;DR: As a result of this grant, the researchers have now published on CDROM a corpus of over 4 million words of running text annotated with part-of- speech (POS) tags, which includes a fully hand-parsed version of the classic Brown corpus.
The Lorel Query Language for Semistructured Data
TL;DR: The main novelties of the Lorel language are the extensive use of coercion to relieve the user from the strict typing of OQL, which is inappropriate for semistructured data; and powerful path expressions, which permit a flexible form of declarative navigational access and are particularly suitable when the details of the structure are not known to the user.
