Hi, Mr Patrick C.
Thanks for your job posting.
I have read your requirement very carefully and understood what you want.
I am a Senior NLP developer with 4 years good experience.
A Question Answering (QA) system aims at satisfying users who are looking to answer a specific question in natural language. It works like search engines, but with different result representations: a search engine returns a list of links to answering resources, while a QA system gives a direct answer to a question.
The information-retrieval process in QA systems is broken down into three stages: question processing, ranking, and answer extraction. Question processing and ranking can be performed using algorithmic functions or machine learning.
I have real experience in QA system development.
please contact with me.
thanks.
Anton.
