Readme file for Question Answering Data First of all, two important points you should know: 1. To obtain any of the data in this directory, you must first sign the user agreement with NII (National Institute of Informatics) You can obtain the agreement form (in English or Japanese) at http://research.nii.ac.jp/ntcir/permission/perm-ja.html http://research.nii.ac.jp/ntcir/permission/perm-en.html 2. As stated clearly in the agreement, the question answering data were developed using the Mainichi newspaper articles; however, they were developed for the purpose of the NTCIR Workshop 4, and The Mainichi Newspaper Co. is not responsible for their content. Note: Please check the details of the QAC tasks at http://www.nlp.cs.ritsumei.ac.jp/qac/.
