Abstract
In this paper, we give the overview of the open domain Question Answering (or open domain QA) shared task in the NLPCC 2017. We first review the background of QA, and then describe two open domain Chinese QA tasks in this year’s NLPCC, including the construction of the benchmark datasets and the evaluation metrics. The evaluation results of submissions from participating teams are presented in the experimental part.
