Research on the Hierarchical Sentence Template and its Application in the Automatic Answering System

In the online automatic answering system, the interpretation of the question sentence is an important part. The interpretation process has a few drawbacks if only splitting words or the simple sentence template is used. This paper presents a new method to interpret the question sentence. This method creates hierarchical sentence template to interpret the sentence from level to level. It´s more flexible than the traditional method. In practice, experimental result shows that our method has a good effect and it improves the accuracy of question interpretation, meanwhile, it reduces the number of the sentence template.
