Abstract

Question Answering (QA) is an important aspect of Natural Language Processing. It comprises building a system that automatically answers questions sought in natural language. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) are a set of listed questions and answers concerning a specific topic, which are most likely to be enquired by a user. This paper deals with developing an open domain QA system for retrieving a list of relevant FAQs related to the query issued by the user. Our approach combines the orthodox AND/OR searching with the Combinatorics searching technique which is able to produce an exhaustive list of results for a particular query generated.
