  abstract = {The true power of anaphora resolution algorithms can only be gauged when embedded into specific Natural Language Processing (NLP) applications. In this paper we describe the anaphora resolution module from ExtrAns, an answer extraction system. The anaphora resolution module is based on Lappin and Leass' original algorithm, which used McCord's Slot Grammar as the inherent parser. We report how to port Lappin and Leass' algorithm to Link Grammar, a freely available dependency-based parsing system that is used in a range of NLP applications. Finally, we report on how the equivalence classes that result from the anaphora resolution algorithm are incorporated into the logical forms used by ExtrAns.},

To utilize these knowledge sources in an optimal way, researches and clinicians need to be able to retrieve answers about specific problem situations quickly and with high precision. In this contribution we describe current efforts aimed at adapting an existing Question Answering system to a new document set, namely research papers in the genomics domain. The system has been originally developed for another restricted domain, however it has already proved its portability. Nevertheless, the process is not painless, and the specific purpose of this paper is to describe the problems encountered.},

  abstract = {The shortcomings of traditional Information Retrieval are most evident when users require exact information rather than relevant documents. This practical need is pushing the research community towards systems that can exactly pinpoint those parts of documents that contain the information requested. Answer Extraction (AE) systems satisfy that need. This paper presents one such system (ExtrAns) which works by transforming documents and queries into a semantic representation called Minimal Logical Form (MLF) and derives the answers by logical proof from the documents. MLFs use underspecification to overcome the problems associated with a complete semantic representation and offer the possibility of monotonic, non-destructive extension.},

We have found that the resulting dependency structures, although cumbersome to handle, can be used by ExtrAns to find the syntactic and semantic dependencies needed in several of the linguistic processing stages. In particular, we focus on the minimal logical form generation.},
