Abstract

Question classification is very important for question answering. This paper presents our research work on question classification through machine learning approach. In order to train the learning model, we designed a rich set of features that are predictive of question categories. We then performed a series of different experiments with the goal of determining the most discriminative set of features that yield the most accurate results.
