Some Challenges of Advanced Question-Answering: an Experiment with How-to Questions

This paper is a contribution to text semantics processing and its application to advanced question-answering where a significant portion of a well-formed text is required as a response. We focus on procedural texts of various domains, and show how titles, instructions, instructional compounds and arguments can be extracted.
