This paper describes the architecture, operation and results obtained with the Question Answering prototype developed in the Department of Language Processing and Information Systems at the University of Alicante. Our system is based on our TREC-9 approach where different improvements have been introduced. Essentially these modifications are twofold: the introduction of a passage retrieval module at first stage retrieval and the redefinition of our semantic approach for paragraph selection and answer extraction.
