We integrate automatic speech recognition (ASR) and question answering (QA) to realize a speech-driven QA system, and evaluate its performance. We adapt an Ngram language model to...
In this paper, we present a robust passage retrieval algorithm to extend the conventional text question answering (Q/A) to videos. Users interact with our videoQ/A system through n...
