Features are combined based on the inhibition among features as well as the importance of individual features. Experimental results on the Chinese questions set show that, the IIA method shows a gradual increase in average and maximum accuracies at all feature combinations, and achieves great improvement over the importance analysis(IA) method on the whole. Moreover, the IIA method achieves the same highest accuracy as the one by the exhaustive method, and further improves the performance of question classification.展开更多
