What changed
Integrated question decomposition, high-recall candidate generation, soft filtering, heterogeneous evidence scorers, answer merging and learned confidence estimation in a parallel UIMA-based question-answering architecture.
Scientific scope
Integrated question decomposition, high-recall candidate generation, soft filtering, heterogeneous evidence scorers, answer merging and learned confidence estimation in a parallel UIMA-based question-answering architecture. The2010 report describes precontest architecture and measured performance, not the later2011 televised victory. Twelve paper authors are not asserted to exhaust the larger engineering team. General QA integration only; proposed medical/business applications are not established outcomes and no biological or medical achievement is added.
Evidence
The linked original sources describe the stated contribution and its evidence limits. WRS has not independently rerun the experiments or certified a proof.
