The approach taken used ideas from various participants in the recent TREC-8 conference, and added the use of notions on sentence structure --- particularly structural information and matching. The system was successfully tested on training data incorporating a wide range of sentence structure phenomena. Performance was evaluated in blind tests on two sets of data and results were encouraging, with good levels of both recall and precision being achieved.}, biburl = {http://www.bibsonomy.org/bibtex/218533b8cc3f2a7c501a3c2462939e216/diego_ma}, keywords = {answer_extraction}, }
