  1. Systems & Applications:Introduction Ling 573 NLP Systems and Applications April 1, 2013

  2. Roadmap • Motivation • 573 Structure • Question-Answering • Shared Tasks

  3. Motivation • Information retrieval is very powerful • Search engines index and search enormous doc sets • Retrieve billions of documents in tenths of seconds

  4. Motivation • Information retrieval is very powerful • Search engines index and search enormous doc sets • Retrieve billions of documents in tenths of seconds • But still limited!

  5. Motivation • Information retrieval is very powerful • Search engines index and search enormous doc sets • Retrieve billions of documents in tenths of seconds • But still limited! • Technically – keyword search (mostly)

  6. Motivation • Information retrieval is very powerful • Search engines index and search enormous doc sets • Retrieve billions of documents in tenths of seconds • But still limited! • Technically – keyword search (mostly) • Conceptually • User seeks information • Sometimes a web site or document

  7. Motivation • Information retrieval is very powerful • Search engines index and search enormous doc sets • Retrieve billions of documents in tenths of seconds • But still limited! • Technically – keyword search (mostly) • Conceptually • User seeks information • Sometimes a web site or document • Very often, the answer to a question

  8. Why Question-Answering? • People ask questions on the web

  9. Why Question-Answering? • People ask questions on the web • Web logs: • Which English translation of the bible is used in official Catholic liturgies? • Who invented surf music? • What are the seven wonders of the world?

  10. Why Question-Answering? • People ask questions on the web • Web logs: • Which English translation of the bible is used in official Catholic liturgies? • Who invented surf music? • What are the seven wonders of the world? • 12-15% of queries

  11. Why Question-Answering? • People ask questions on the web • Web logs: • Which English translation of the bible is used in official Catholic liturgies? • Who invented surf music? • What are the seven wonders of the world? • 12-15% of queries • Search sites (e.g., Google) beginning to include • Canonical factoids, esp. Wikipedia infoboxdata • Dates, conversions, birthdates

  12. Why Question Answering? • Answer sites proliferate:

  13. Why Question Answering? • Answer sites proliferate: • Top hit for ‘questions’ :

  14. Why Question Answering? • Answer sites proliferate: • Top hit for ‘questions’ : Ask.com

  15. Why Question Answering? • Answer sites proliferate: • Top hit for ‘questions’ : Ask.com • Also: Yahoo! Answers, wiki answers, Facebook,… • Collect and distribute human answers

  16. Why Question Answering? • Answer sites proliferate: • Top hit for ‘questions’ : Ask.com • Also: Yahoo! Answers, wiki answers, Facebook,… • Collect and distribute human answers • Do I Need a Visa to Go to Japan?

  17. Why Question Answering? • Answer sites proliferate: • Top hit for ‘questions’ : Ask.com • Also: Yahoo! Answers, wiki answers, Facebook,… • Collect and distribute human answers • Do I Need a Visa to Go to Japan? • eHow.com • Rules regarding travel between the United States and Japan are governed by both countries. Entry requirements for Japan are contingent on the purpose and length of a traveler's visit. • Passport Requirements • Japan requires all U.S. citizens provide a valid passport and a return on "onward" ticket for entry into the country. Additionally, the United States requires a passport for all citizens wishing to enter or re-enter the country.

  18. Search Engines & QA • Who was the prime minister of Australia during the Great Depression?

  19. Search Engines & QA • Who was the prime minister of Australia during the Great Depression? • Rank 1 snippet: • The conservative Prime Minister of Australia, Stanley Bruce

  20. Search Engines & QA • Who was the prime minister of Australia during the Great Depression? • Rank 1 snippet: • The conservative Prime Minister of Australia, Stanley Bruce • Wrong! • Voted out just before the Depression

  21. Perspectives on QA • TREC QA track (1999---) • Initially pure factoid questions, with fixed length answers • Based on large collection of fixed documents (news) • Increasing complexity: definitions, biographical info, etc • Single response

  22. Perspectives on QA • TREC QA track (~1999---) • Initially pure factoid questions, with fixed length answers • Based on large collection of fixed documents (news) • Increasing complexity: definitions, biographical info, etc • Single response • Reading comprehension (Hirschman et al, 2000---) • Think SAT/GRE • Short text or article (usually middle school level) • Answer questions based on text • Also, ‘machine reading’

  23. Perspectives on QA • TREC QA track (~1999---) • Initially pure factoid questions, with fixed length answers • Based on large collection of fixed documents (news) • Increasing complexity: definitions, biographical info, etc • Single response • Reading comprehension (Hirschman et al, 2000---) • Think SAT/GRE • Short text or article (usually middle school level) • Answer questions based on text • Also, ‘machine reading’ • And, of course, Jeopardy! and Watson
