AAS : Search System for Satisfying User's Interest by Assembling Documents : An Application of Cost Based Abduction

Abstract

In daily lives, we frequently encounter new and specific accidents. It is about a specific matter that people want to consult a counselor. Previous memory-based systems which answer queries expressed in sentenses cannot answer specific questions about these specific things, because they are referred only to past questions from which they find similar questions to the current user's one and return the corresponding answers. In this paper, we present an Answer Assembling System, which combines paragraphs in past answers for answering newly asked questions. Empirical results are evaluated by the extent of user's satisfaction.
