Open domain question answering system using cognitive computing
Technology has advanced so much that in recent times use Internet search engines as primary medium of reference for understanding of any concept and knowledge level doubts. In this paper the main idea is to present an architecture which is the new way of searching for the information present on the Internet and it is based on the new era of computing i.e. cognitive computing. Cognitive computing resolves the situation where ambiguity and uncertainty is present and attempts to mimic the mechanism of human brain. Recent information requirements need an efficient mechanism which should be capable of interacting with users in a more natural way. Our system is intended to manage large amount of textual data and mining suitable knowledge. Thus resulting in a new level of refinement to search results for the user by providing exact answer to the natural language query that are specified by users. Our system will be helpful to the users because system is able to provide succinct answers which do not require end users to wade through a huge amount of data present on the Internet. This paper briefly summarizes the characteristics of cognitive computing and how it is implemented in our open domain question answering system developed using open source software.
