@inproceedings{Zhang:2003, abstract = {The Web is apparently an ideal source of answers to a large variety of questions, due to the tremendous amount of information available online. This paper describes a Web-based question answering system LAMP, which is publicly accessible. A particular characteristic of this system is that it only takes advantage of the snippets in the search results returned by a search engine like Google. We think such ``snippet-tolerant'' property is important for an online question answering system to be practical, because it is time-consuming to download and analyze the original web documents. The performance of LAMP is comparable to the best state-of-the-art question answering systems.}, added-at = {2007-12-14T02:48:41.000+0100}, address = {Singapore}, author = {Zhang, Dell and Lee, Wee Sun}, biburl = {http://www.bibsonomy.org/bibtex/2e9031eff1c301c559385707d6b4d8218/diego_ma}, booktitle = {Proc.
