Sažetak
Frequently asked question (FAQ) collections are commonly used across the web to provide information about a specific domain (e.g., services of a company). With respect to traditional information retrieval, FAQ retrieval introduces additional challenges, the main ones being (1) the brevity of FAQ texts and (2) the need for topic-specific knowledge. The primary contribution of our work is a new domain-specific FAQ collection, providing a large number of queries with manually annotated relevance judgments. On this collection, we test several unsupervised baseline models, including both count based and semantic embedding based models, as well as a combined model. We evaluate the performance across different setups and identify potential venues for improvement. The collection constitutes a solid basis for research in supervised machine-learning-based FAQ retrieval.
