问题分类中基于句法和语义信息的特征选择

问题分类是问答系统中一个非常重要的子模块,其关键在于问题的特征选择。考虑了问题的句法信息和语义信息,提出了一种利用问题疑问词、依存关系、主要动词、中心名词和名词的最高上位词作为特征进行分类的新方法。实验中,采用k-最邻近和朴素贝叶斯两种分类算法对该方法进行测试,结果表明了该方法具有较好的分类效果。在自定义的分类体系上,分别达到了82.2%和83.7%的分类精度,性能高于基于bag-of-words的特征选择方法。

Feature selection using syntactic and semantic information in question classification

Question classification is a very important sub-module of question answering system,and the key lies in the feature selection.This paper proposes a new feature selection method based on syntactic and semantic information,using the question word,the main verb of the question,the dependency structure,the main noun and the top hypernym of the noun as features for classification.Evaluate the effect of feature selection using KNN and Nave Bayes classifiers,and attain an expected result.In the predefined question taxonomy,the classification accurate reaches 82.2% and 83.7% respectively.It is better than the method using bag-of-words features.
