Abstract
Data is increasing in volume day by day, this data can be processed and classified into various categories. Users all over the internet ask tons of questions to which they want precise answers. The Question Answering system is the best solution in such scenarios. Traditional approach mainly focuses on providing the documents which include the keywords related to the query asked by the users. While the question answering approach provides a better alternative by further refining the results, it not only returns the related documents but also retrieves the most relevant answer from the available corpus of data. Converting the questions asked by the users into an appropriate query string, classifying the question, retrieving the documents and extracting the valid answer are the main steps involved in this system.
