CATAQ: Concise Answer to any Question

Abstract

In this modern age of information, the answer to any question is readily available on the internet. The chronology of the solution to open-domain question-answering capabilities is primitive manual question mining, followed by search engine revolution. Later, intelligent assistants became a robust method, which is being used for a long time. However, it has been noticed that the intelligent assistant responds to simple questions but not to the complicated ones that demand comprehension of the question's abstract. This paper introduces an innovative, dynamic technique called CATAQ, i.e., Concise Answer to Any Question that responds to complicated questions by providing accurate answers. Furthermore, CATAQ introduces a solution for dynamic information retrieval, which involves the selection of the most appropriate webpage links, based on the link parsing the content of the webpage irrespective of its structure, pre-processing the content, extracting the pertinent information with semantic search and summarizing by prioritizing question's keywords. It is observed that CAT AQ outperformed the present intelligent assistants while answering complex questions which include anunusual and large variety of topics and keeping the performance consistent while answering simple questions. Concluding, CATAQ can answer any question concisely, assuming the related information is available on the internet.
