## Abstract

Question answering task is now being done in TREC8 using English documents. We examined question answering task in Japanese sentences. Our method selects the answer by matching the question sentence with knowledge-based data written in natural language. We use syntactic information to obtain highly accurate answers.

## Recorded benchmark results

A research result applies to its stated dataset, split, metric and evaluation configuration. Compare like-for-like settings, preserve the metric's unit and direction, and distinguish paper-reported results from independent reproduction. The best result recorded here is not a claim of exhaustive, current global coverage.
