A Hybrid Approach using Ontology Similarity and Fuzzy Logic for Semantic Question Answering

Monika Rani, Maybin K. Muyeba, O. P. Vyas

One of the challenges in information retrieval is providing accurate answers to a user's question often expressed as uncertainty words. Most answers are based on a Syntactic approach rather than a Semantic analysis of the query. In this paper, our objective is to present a hybrid approach for a Semantic question answering retrieval system using Ontology Similarity and Fuzzy logic. We use a Fuzzy Co-clustering algorithm to retrieve the collection of documents based on Ontology Similarity. The Fuzzy Scale uses Fuzzy type-1 for documents and Fuzzy type-2 for words to prioritize answers. The objective of this work is to provide retrieval system with more accurate answers than non-fuzzy Semantic Ontology approach.
