Fuzzy Constraint Based Answer Validation

Answer validation is an important component of any question answering system. In this paper we show how the formalism of prioritized fuzzy constraint satisfaction allows to unify and generalize some common validation strategies. Moreover, answer candidates are represented by fuzzy sets, which allows to handle imprecise answers.
