WIDM at the NTCIR-13 STC-2 Task

摘要

In this paper, we describe our contribution for the NTCIR-13 Short Text Conversation (STC) Chinese task. Short text conversation remains an important part on social media gathering much attention recently. The task aims to retrieve or generate a relevant comment given a post. We consider both closed and open domain STC for retrieval–based and generation-based track. To be more specific, the former applies a retrieval-based approach from the given corpus, while the later utilizes the Web to fulfill the generation-based track. Evaluation results show that our retrieval–based approach performs better than the generation-based one.
