The code is poetry labs are working on a broad range of assets, tools and databases for Natural Language Processing for German language. Here you can find training data and other interesting documents.
In Question Answering systems you often need to determine what the question is about. The answer representation gives you a broad knowledge about how the answer should be displayed. In this data set we defined 3 types:
- LIST
- FACT
- PARAGRAPH
A trained classifier should by able to find out the correct response type the question needs.
Question Answering systems need to know what is required as response. Li and Roth [1] established a widely known taxonmy on answer types in 2006. The data set in this repository is also labeled as Li and Roth suggested it. Since the taxonomy has two layers (top and sub classes) we first describe the top classes with its sub classes (numbers in brackets) here:
- Abbreviation (2)
- Description (4)
- Entity (22)
- Human (4)
- Location (5)
- Numeric (13)
