Abstract

In this paper, we propose a construction of Question Answering(QA) system, which synthesizes the answers retrieval from the frequent asked questions database and documents database, based on special domain about sightseeing information. A speech interface for the special domain was implemented along with the text interface, using an acoustic model HMM, a pronunciation lexicon, and a language model FSN on the basis of the feature of Chinese sentence patterns. We consider the synthetic model based on statistic VSM and shallow language analysis for sightseeing information. Experimental results showed high accuracy can be achieved for the special domain and the speech interface is available for frequently asked questions about sightseeing information.
