Abstract
A system and method for automatically mapping LATs and candidate answers to multiple taxonomies without a need to merge these taxonomies. The method includes using a syntactic analysis of a corpus to extract all type instances of the LAT. The extracted instances are then mapped to a given taxonomy and clustered in a set of supertypes. Each supertype receives a score based on the coverage of LAT instances in the corpus. The method includes mapping the candidate answer to the same taxonomy to determine if the candidate answer is an instance of a significant supertype. Then the score of a candidate answer is obtained by aggregating or taking a maximum of the score of the matched significant supertypes. This score evaluates the type match between the LAT and candidate answer for a taxonomy. Multiple taxonomies can be used to increase the chance of LAT and candidate answer mapping.
