Question Parsing for QA in Spanish

Question processing is a key step in Question Answering systems. For this task, it has been shown that a good syntactic analysis of questions helps to improve the results. However, general parsers seem to present some disadvantages in question analysis. We present a specific tool under development for Spanish question analysis in a QA context: SpQA. SpQA is a parser designed to deal with the special syntactic features of Spanish questions and to cover some needs of question analysis in QA systems such as target identification. The system has been evaluated together with three Spanish general parsers. In this comparative evaluation, SpQA shows the best results in Spanish question analysis.
