These include a QA Typology with answer patterns, WordNet, information about typical numerical answer ranges, and semantic relations identified by a robust parser, to filter out likely-looking but wrong candidate answers. This paper describes the knowledge resources and their impact on system performance.}, url = {http://approjects.co.za/?big=en-us/research/publication/using-knowledge-facilitate-pinpointing-factoid-answers/}, }
