| Abstract | In Knowledge Management, variations in information expressions have proven areal challenge. In particular, classical semantic relations (e.g. synonymy) donot connect words with different parts-of-speech. The method proposed tries toaddress this issue. It consists in building a derivational resource from amorphological derivation tool together with derivational guidelines from adictionary in order to store only correct derivatives. This resource, combinedwith a syntactic parser, a semantic disambiguator and some derivationalpatterns, helps to reformulate an original sentence while keeping the initialmeaning in a convincing manner This approach has been evaluated in threedifferent ways: the precision of the derivatives produced from a lemma; itsability to provide well-formed reformulations from an original sentence,preserving the initial meaning; its impact on the results coping with a realissue, \textit{ie} a question answering task . The evaluation of this approachthrough a question answering system shows the pros and cons of this system,while foreshadowing some interesting future developments. |
