@inproceedings{Pizzato:2004, abstract = {This paper presents an approach for question analysis that defines the question subject and its required answer type by building a trie-based structure from a set of question patterns. The question analysis consists of comparing the question tokens with the path of nodes in the trie. A look-ahead process solve the mismatches of unknown words by assigning a entity-type or semantically linking them with other question words. The developed approach is evaluated using different datasets showing that its performance is comparable with state-of-the-art systems.}, added-at = {2008-03-04T07:47:30.000+0100}, address = {Sydney, Australia}, author = {Pizzato, Luiz A.S.}, biburl = {http://www.bibsonomy.org/bibtex/23cb7b8d122f144ccf7957fac478a3ed2/diego_ma}, booktitle = {Proc.
