Abstract

This paper describes the CLEF QA Track 2015. Following the scenario stated last year for the CLEF QA Track, the starting point for accessing information is always a Natural Language question. However, answering some questions may need to query Linked Data (especially if aggregations or logical inferences are required), some questions may need textual inferences and querying free-text, and finally, answering some queries may require both sources of information. In this edition, the Track was divided into four tasks: (i) QALD: focused on translating natural language questions into SPARQL; (ii) Entrance Exams: focused on answering questions to assess machine reading capabilities; (iii) BioASQ1 focused on large-scale semantic indexing and (iv) BioASQ2 for Question Answering in the biomedical domain.
