Abstract:
SMS (Short Message Service) is now a hugely popular and a very powerful business communication
technology for mobile phones. In order to respond correctly to a free form factual question given a large collection
of texts, one needs to understand the question at a level that allows determining some of constraints the question
imposes on a possible answer. These constraints may include a semantic classification of the sought after
answer and may even suggest using different strategies when looking for and verifying a candidate answer. In
this paper we focus on various attempts to overcome the major contradiction: the technical limitations of the SMS
standard, and the huge number of found information for a possible answer.
