The LogAnswer Project at QA4MRE 2012.

For QA4MRE 2012, we have improved our prototype of a pure logic-based answer validation system that was originally developed for QA4MRE 2011. The system uses core functionality of the LogAnswer question answering (QA) system available on the web, which was com- bined and extended such as to best meet the demands of the QA4MRE task. In particular, coreference resolution is used in order to allow knowl- edge processing on the document level, and a fragment of OpenCyc has been integrated in order to allow more exible reasoning. In addition to a general consolidation of the original prototype that took part in QA4MRE 2011, the current system was optimized for accuracy on non- rejected questions. While last year's system only achieved an accuracy of 0.24 for answered questions, the various measures taken to improve the rejection decision now yield an accuracy of 0.31 for answered questions in the QA4MRE 2012 task. Results show that these improvements were sucient
