| Abstract |
In this paper we investigate the effectiveness of a novel resource for Multilingual Question Answering (QA). Such a resource consists of a set of multilingual pattern libraries for answer extraction and validation. In the spirit of the ongoing attempts to develop freely available resources for QA, we argue that the distribution and use of pattern libraries will contribute to make Multilingual QA a more feasible task. |
