Abstract

Even though the question answering (QA) field appeared only in recent years, there are systems for English which obtain good results for open-domain questions. The situation is very different for other languages, mainly due to the lack of NLP resources which are normally used by QA systems. In this paper, we present a project which develops a QA system for Romanian. The challenges we face and decisions we have to make are discussed.
