MOQA : Meaning Oriented Question Answering

Abstract:
MOQA is  CRL's  ARDA-funded grant under the AQUAINT project, in
collaboration with CoGenTex in Ithaca, NY, and ILIT (Institute for
Language and Information Technologies) at UMBC (University of Maryland,
Baltimore County). The goal of the project is to bring to bear CRL's
ONTOSEM ontology and TMR (Text Meaning Representation) to enhance both
the accuracy and user-friendliness of question/answering systems. The
talk will cover the scope and structure of the project, with a focus on
recent developments in ontology-based multilingual information retrieval.
