Abstract

This paper describes a dialog based QA system, Dialog Navigator, which can answer questions based on large text knowledge base. In real world QA systems, vagueness of questions is a big problem. Our system can navigates users to the desired answers using the following methods: asking users back with dialog cards, and description extraction of each retrieved text. Another feature of the system is that it retrieves relevant texts precisely, using question types, synonymous expression dictionary, and modifier-head relations in Japanese sentences.
