The invention relates to an answer extraction method for a tourism question and answer
system based on ontology reasoning, which belongs to the field of
artificial intelligence. The answer extraction method for the tourism question and answer
system based on ontology reasoning is characterized in that: firstly, semantic rules in the field are defined, an artificial ontology
knowledge base is constructed, and question sentences of users are analyzed; secondly, answer extraction is performed by
combing semantic rule-based reasoning and
information retrieval, instead of simple matching; and thirdly, corresponding answer extraction algorithms are designed according to different question
sentence types. The invention provides the answer extraction method for the tourism question and answer
system based on ontology reasoning, which introduces the ontology concept into construction of the
knowledge base of the question and answer system, uses an OWL (Ontology Web Language) ontology
descriptive language to clearly and definitely represent concepts, attributes and relations in the field of tourism, and more effectively organizes knowledge. In an open test, the precision of answers of the question and answer system based on ontology reasoning to 1346
natural language questions of the users reaches 81.35 percent, and the
recall rate reaches 90.49 percent.
