This paper describes UAIC’s Question Answering systems participating in the ResPubliQA 2010 competition, designed to answer questions on a juridical corpora in Romanian, English and French monolingual tasks. Our systems adhere to the classical architecture of a Question Answering system, with an emphasis on simplicity and real time answers: only shallow parsing was used for question processing, the indexes for the retrieval module were built at coarse-grained paragraph level, and the answer extraction component used simple pattern-based rules and lexical similarity metrics for candidate answer ranking.
