Many of the papers cited earlier that use an ap-
answer extraction approach only. For paragraph
retrieval we use the same approach as for evalu-
proach similar to our baseline approach of course
ation set 1, see Section 7.1. However, in more
report much better results than Tables 7 and 8.
This however is not too surprising as the approach
than 20% of the cases, this method returns not
a single paragraph that contains both the answer
and at least one question keyword. In such cases,
the simple paragraph retrieval makes it close to
impossible for our algorithm to return the correct
answer.
