WikiQA: A Challenge Dataset for Open-Domain Question Answering
TL;DR: The WIKIQA dataset is described, a new publicly available set of question and sentence pairs, collected and annotated for research on open-domain question answering, which is more than an order of magnitude larger than the previous dataset.

TL;DR: This work describes a graphical model for probabilistic relationships--an alternative to the Bayesian network--called a dependency network and identifies several basic properties of this representation and describes a computationally efficient procedure for learning the graph and probability components from data.
Journal ArticleDOI
Using path diagrams as a structural equation modeling tool
TL;DR: In this paper, path diagrams are used to solve a number of important problems in structural equation modeling; for example, how much do sample data underdetermine the correct model specification? Given that there are equivalent models, is it possible to extract the features common to those models?

Combining Heterogeneous Models for Measuring Relational Similarity
TL;DR: The overall system consists of two novel general-purpose relational similarity models and three specific word relation models that outperforms the previous best system substantially and achieves a 54.1% relative increase in Spearman's rank correlation.
