Question Answering Systems: A Review on Present Developments, Challenges and Trends

Abstract

Question Answering Systems (QAS) are becoming a model for the future of web search. In this paper we present a study of the latest research in this area. We collected publications from top conferences and journals on information retrieval, knowledge management, artificial intelligence, web intelligence, natural language processing and the semantic web. We identified and classified the topics of Question Answering (QA) being researched on and the solutions that are being proposed. In this study we also identified the issues being most researched on, the most popular solutions being proposed and the newest trends to help researchers gain an insight on the latest developments and trends of the research being done in the area of question answering.
