WabiQA: A Wikipedia-Based Thai Question-Answering System

作者:

Highlights:

• We propose WabiQA, a novel Thai QA system that implements a BM25F-based document retriever and a bi-directional LSTM document reader.

• We compare different document retrieval methods, including Google Search API, TF-IDF, and BM25F, and also study the impacts of different features in the bi-directional LSTM reader.

• WabiQA outperforms other Thai QA systems by 31.48% in terms of document retrieval accuracy, and 198.83% in terms of answer prediction F1.

• WabiQA is developed as part of a prototype mobile application aiming to facilitate users with visual impairment.
