Exploring correlation of dependency relation paths for answer extraction [link]Website  abstract   bibtex   
In this paper, we explore correlation of dependency relation paths to rank candi- date answers in answer extraction. Using the correlation measure, we compare de- pendency relations of a candidate answer and mapped question phrases in sentence with the corresponding relations in ques- tion. Different from previous studies, we propose an approximate phrase mapping algorithm and incorporate the mapping score into the correlation measure. The correlations are further incorporated into a Maximum Entropy-based ranking model which estimates path weights from train- ing. Experimental results show that our method significantly outperforms state-of- the-art syntactic relation-based methods by up to 20% in MRR.
