      ab: The article discusses the use of query rewriting methods and surface patterns in Internet question-answering systems, with an emphasis on handling definitional answers. In contrast to "factoid-type" questions, definitional questions involve a complexity that demands making inferences from perhaps multiple sources. The authors present a strategy that incorporates query re-writing, surface-pattern matching, semantic analysis and sense disambiguation. Their work illustrates that Web snippets in themselves are insufficient for complete disambiguation.
